Basically, the entire Khashoggi story was hyped up by Turkey claiming that a recording of Khashoggi's murder in the embassy was caught on his apple watch and transmitted to his iphone that his girlfriend waiting outside had. This was accentuated by the MSM hyping up his watch.
Then, of course, I and several other people pointed out that Turkey's networks weren't compatible with the model of apple watch. Literally, it couldn't connect to Turkish cell networks. Suddenly, it became, "Oh, experts are skeptical, but we still totally know the Saudis did it."

Here's one of the 'debunking' articles.

And for the hyping that up in the first place...
cnn.com/2018/10/12/mid…

Here's CNN doing EXACTLY THAT.

Note one of the writers, Nic Robertson.

The dude has been pushing that story for YEARS.

Most of what I write isn't understood by most of the people who read it.

That's fine. I don't actually like most of the people who read my stuff. They're reactionary in the most reflexive and knee jerk sense, they're stubborn in ignorance, and they're far too trusting.
This isn't for them.
I can't even say who this is for because I don't know who's going to understand what I'm writing, and if they do then it would be unlikely and unwise of them to respond saying they do. That's fine. I think I truly understand where Thomas is coming from now. I'm doing this for me.

I despise you. I cant fucking stand you. You are the reason the McRib is never a permanent part of the McDonalds menu. You are the reason Sechuan sauce has never been brought back. You are appendix cancer. You are HIV personified.

What in the unholy fuck made you this stupid.
“Here’s a troubling trend about how millennials started killing themselves.”

“LEL I BET IT WAS EMO MUSIC!”

Yes, clearly, there is NO COVARIANCE BETWEEN A GENERATION PRONE TO SUICIDE AND A SUBCULTURE UNIQUE TO THAT GENERATION THAT EPITOMIZED NIHILISM. NO COVARIANCE AT ALL. MHMM.
Every grave of a kid that died from substance abuse or suicide that isnt emo is a giant middle fonger to fucktards like you.

And no. It WASNT social media either you fucking larva brained imbeciles. This trend started two years BEFORE myspace’s heyday.

On Being an American, by HL Mencken (1922)

The references updated to modern terms by Comrade Fudge (2021, close to a full century later)

Yes, this shit is still relevant.

All the while I have been forgetting the third of my reasons for remaining so faithful a citizen of the Federation, despite all the lascivious inducements from expatriates to follow them beyond the seas, and all the surly suggestions from patriots that I succumb.
It is the reason which grows out of my mediaeval but unashamed taste for the bizarre and indelicate, my congenital weakness for comedy of the grosser varieties. The United States, to my eye, is incomparably the greatest show on earth.

There’s no grievances to air.

To air a grievance implies it hasn’t already been made known.

The complaints have been spoken, repeatedly. The problem isn’t that they aren’t being spoken. It’s that they aren’t being listened to.
This is not an age of heroes.

This is not an age of legends.

There does not exist a desire to engage in acts of valor and endurance. The concept of true valor and endurance does not exist, it is not conceivable anymore.
There are no secret plans. There are no last minute hopes. There is no superhuman everyman to swoop in and avert disaster.

The damage is already being done. All that can happen is stemming the bleeding.

1) There comes a time where every man has his breaking point.

That day was today for me.

After EVERYTHING, falling off a ladder, my kitty being sick and doing her best impression of a cow on my carpet, assembling a day bed, and NOT FINDING FOUR ROSES ANHWHERE, I turned to this:
2) "What was your breaking point Fudge?"

WELL APPARENTLY WE'RE ALL SO FUCKING HARD IN OUR FUCKING PANTS SIMPING FOR TRUMP THAT WE'RE ARGUING HOW MUCH OF OUR MONEY THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE SENDING BACK TO US THAT WE HAVENT SAID DONT TAKE OUR FUCKING MONEY
3) Yeah, no prisoners taken today.

Fuck stimulus payments.

SLASH THE FUCKING TAXES YOU SELF INDULGENT COCK SUCKERS @GOP @TheDemocrats THATS HOW YOU SAVE THE FUCKING ECONOMY.

OH WAIT.

YOU CANT DO THAT.

BECAUSE THEN YOU WOULDNT BE ABLE TO PASS YOUR FOREIGN AID BILL YOU FUCKOS.

1) Let me drop an uncomfortable truth on everyone.

Literal fucking genocides are happening in CA and NY, and they’re the most fucked up genocides of all time, because the victims have been conditioned to do the mass murder themselves and are then given the tools to carry it out.
2) See, the whole decriminalizing hard drugs? The decriminalizing of knowing std spreading? Here’s the hypothesis: give a person enough rope and they’ll hang themselves.
3) CA and NY have the highest rates of homelessness, and it keeps. On. Growing. They couldn’t ship them to other states fast enough. So in the name of ‘morality’, they had their solution.
