Snoop "scared" to see gay people in movies because then he'd have to explain the existence of gay people to a child

It must be nice to be so rich and so out of touch to have these sorts of "problems".

Imagine having to explain to your kid that mommy was abducted by maybe police and you don't know where she is or if the family will ever be reunited again.  Or that the Trump slump means that daddy has to work two jobs now to make rent.  Or that the President of the United States is probably a pedophile who spent a lot of time at Epstein Island and loved to cruise around on the Lolita Express (Epstein's jet).  Or explain that weird salute that Elon Musk made and what happened when lots of people were making that salute decades ago in Germany.  Lots of stuff is a lot harder to explain than gay people.

I remember the first time I saw gay characters. It was in an episode of Barney Miller. I asked my mom, what's with those guys? and she said "You know how men like to do whoop-dee-doo with women? Some men like to do whoop-dee-doo with men." It's not fucking hard, Snoop.

How to explain gay people, for dummies:

"Grandpa, why are those two boys kissing?"

"Some boys like other boys, and some girls like other girls."

"Oh."

The end.

Iowa

Nice win out of nowhere.  Hopefully this spreads.

Please vote to reign in this sickness.

Please vote to reign in this sickness.

For real.  Voting in a smart way is the single best thing Americans can do right now.  It also doesn't hurt to fire off emails and make calls.  You'd be surprised how effective that is at a local level.  Every act of pushback or defiance helps, no matter how small.

Iowa

Nice win out of nowhere.  Hopefully this spreads.

Farmers in Iowa got what they voted for. They are going broke. Can't export their crops. Plus, Trump and RFK JR hate corn-sweetened Cola. Conservative's skulls must be full of rocks or Jesus-flavored bubble gum or something.

No fascist government has ever lost power due to an election.

When he is gone, Trump deserves what the Romans gave to imperial traitors: damnatio memoriae.
Nothing named after him, no presidential library, none of the perquisites given to past office holders.
Just shame and silence.

If they want to stop school shootings, they should just issue every kid a gun when they show up to school in the morning, and gather up the guns after school.
Problem solved! No more school shootings!

Archie Bunker said to stop the hijacking of airplanes by issuing every passenger a gun as they boarded the plane. Why wouldn't that work just as well now with the school shootings?

Do I even want to know what he could have possibly wanted to accomplish with this? Kids are crazy at the best of times. I don't want to see them coked up.

I'm so happy I'm 75.5 years old. I won't have to deal with this much longer.

Bad news is my maternal grandfather lived to 84. And lived alone the last ten years. Ambivalence reigns.

Why do you count the extra 0.5? It passes like when you close your eyes and wake up 6 months later.
