Candace Owens departs Ben Shapiro’s website after antisemitic commentary

Owens became a star right-wing pundit. Then she started promoting ideas about Jewish people drinking Christians’ blood.

Blood libel. Not implied or insinuated, just out-and-out blood libel.

This is how much it took for Ben Shapiro to fire her.

"I know who should receive an award named after Ruth Bader Ginsburg - a couple rich and powerful conservative assholes!"

The pure bloody mindlessness. I mean: Michael Milken was to be given one. What the Fuck.

Wtf, they only cancelled the presentation ceremony, not the award itself!?!?! Is this some kind of Hugo's Award all over again?

I think we should start an "Awardies" a panel of judges that laud or shame awards bestowed in the previous year. Who's with me?

Surprising, given that Butt Shitpiro is exactly the kind of sellout out who'd be falling all over himself to be first picked among the Nazi collaborators.

Shapiro recently received some attention for attacking the concept of retirement. Apparently, the idea that people should be able to stop working at a certain age is "ridiculous" to him.

And he just really hates non-white people, poor people, the gays and women. But he mostly uses dog-whistles and is willing to tolerate those who he considers beneath him - as long as they're working towards a common goal. Owens violated that truce, which is what got her fired.

ETA: I'd also argue that her antisemitism only was part of the reason for her firing. The other was her criticism of Israel for its conduct in the ongoing conflict.

Yet another rich guy with a white-collar job who doesn't grasp how blue-collar jobs destroy the body.

I'd say you're STILL giving him too much credit. A self employed political talking head has no clue how stressful a normal white collar job can be. He thinks he can work forever because he's never done any kind of real work, physical or mental.

IIRC, that twit only had an employer for barely 10 months before going self-employed.

I presume he's burning through family money and subsidizing himself by whoring as a token jew for the right wing engine. I'd love to see him try to participate with his yarmulke on, in the next khaki/tikii torch "they will not replace us!" Nazi parade. Kirk is their token Catholic, walsh their token neckbeard, horse face what's her name... Coulter, token female. They've got a whole stable full of gibbering mouthpieces in different flavors.

They's all nearly as bad as that Milo Yanwhateveropolis, their further token gay, until he took his edgelord rhetoric right into excusing pedoophilia. I guess conservatives donn't like it when their useful idiots dare to say the quiet part out loud.

Grump grump... Where's my morning coffee

Bad news for all pancake lovers: Canada's maple syrup reserve is almost empty due to too warm winter.

I get my syrup from Vermont.

(Not sure why this is in the "They just get worse and worse" thread...)

 

[Khamon]

VT as well and they have not indicated a lack of product. Jars are still gifted regularly from VTers at national functions that we attend. It ain't no worse 'round these parts.

Ohio has no need to import syrup.

Chemtrail Bans Introduced In 7 States Now That Republicans Have Solved All The Real Problems

Pennsylvania State Senator Doug Mastriano made headlines recently when he floated legislation that would ban chemtrails, which aren’t real and only exist in the minds of unhinged conspiracy theorists. His bill wasn’t entirely original, though, as it was modeled after a similar bill that recently passed the state senate in Tennessee. As Substack’s Radical Reports reports, these are far from the only chemtrail bills being introduced around the country, and wouldn’t you know it, the sponsors are all Republicans.

Next up, banning rainbows.

What does the chemtrail conspiracy theorize? I've missed this one.

Airplane trails are releasing mind control chemicals.

Key takeaway is one third of women are or will be blocked from voting because their identity documents have their maiden name, not the name they took when they got married. Some states also require a birth certificate ... how the heck is a birth certificate suppoed to have the right name for a married woman??!!?

EDIT: OK, I guess married women have to present a marriage certificate tying their birth name to their current name. Yaaay!! Married women have to carry 3 identifcation documents just to vote, hope they don't forget or misplace one of them! That would be SOOOO unfortunate, wouldn't it??!

Ms Quandry's mother remarried, so she always needs her birth certificate (birth name), adoption certificate (birth name to maiden name), marriage certificate (maiden name to current name) and current ID. She also kept her original middle name and added her maiden name as a second middle name when we married, but most forms will not take two middle initials or a compound middle name.

Thank goodness I live in a somewhat civilized state, NJ. No ID required to vote. They just ask for your name and voting district. If you don't know your voting district they will look it up.

Same for California: Name, address, and signature. No ID needed.
