Sandbox (4)

Posted on by

Sometimes very active discussions about peripheral issues overwhelm a thread, so this is a permanent home for those conversations.

I’ve opened a new “Sandbox” thread as a post as the new “ignore commenter” plug-in only works on threads started as posts.

  2. For 50 years the flat-earthers said the moon landings were fake

    In response, NASA launches a moon rocket on April1.

    Constrained more by windows of launch opportunity and planetary alignment than trolling.

  5. Even Mark Levin, of all people, is unhappy with Trump over the ceasefire:

    What about the people of Iran? What are we going to just leave them there? There’s nothing that we can do and we’re going to wash our hands over that? That, to me, is morally very difficult, very difficult to accept… We need to protect our country. We need to protect our homeland. And to pretend that this enemy hasn’t killed American soldiers and American citizens is ridiculous. To pretend this — this enemy is executing its people left and right as we speak. This enemy is shooting missiles into not just Israel — I think some of the Arab countries tonight as well, as we’ve entered into a two-week ceasefire.

  7. Erik Swalwell demonstrates that political parties store up scandals and unleash them when they have something to gain.

  8. 357 members of congress voted to maintain a slush fund to pay off victims of people like Swalwell.

    Why is that?

    Did they recently have a change of heart?

    Why did they have to close down the page program?

    Interesting times.

  9. Congress no longer has page[boy]s.

    Kids age 13-16.

    Because they were being sexually abused.

    357 congressmen voted to maintain a secret slush fund to buy the silence of abuse victims. (The existence of the fund is not secret, but its operation is secret).

    Swalwell was the loudest of the politicians calling for publication of the Epstein files.

    His cohorts have covered for him for a decade, until he became inconvenient in California.

    It is reasonable to believe that many elected official are being blackmailed. The existence of the slush fund is proof that this is not a baseless conspiracy theory.

    Swalwell is just the first of several scapegoats. Everyone hopes that tossing a few goats into the volcano will quiet things down.

    As for Epstein, all the unredacted documents are now available to any member of congress, without time limits.

  10. It is not a defense of creeps to say that I seriously dislike blackmail.

    It is the worst kind of corruption to withhold accusations as long as the perp is useful.
