These past 6 years have showed me that much of the Midwest is just as racist, homophobic, and bass ackwards as the South - maybe even more so in some ways.






OHIO
IOWA
INDIANA
ILLINOIS


Anecdotally, my only gay proposition occurred on my cross country bicycle trip in Indiana. I was born and raised in SF.

They can't afford to be as picky out there.





Hey, I was riding 80 miles per day just out of college. I was pretty, uh, hunky.


I bet you were. No doubt.
But how many hetero propositions did you have? We're women so bold back then? I'd guess no - culture was that men were expected to do the hunting while women played coy.

Back to the Midwest post… my stepmom who is 77 said growing up in Ohio she thought a minority was a white Catholic. Her father didn't want her dating one guy because he feared she'd be turned into a baby factory.

Imagine if Pelosi shot Depape…

Gop would have still run with the story that he was his gay lover, who tried to extort Pelosi, so he shot him. It must have been a coverup conspiracy.
So, Pelosi would have been a
Gay
Murderer
Guilty of concealing the truth
Conspiracist who surely had a corrupt SFPD on his side.

So then all the ancillary enemies of the gop would be dragged into it.

I'm sure the Depape family is thankful their loved one is still alive.
In a Republican America, he'd be dead.

Thou shalt not kill.

My Fox News in-laws called my wife last night to have a very serious talk. I think we probably all knew the talk was coming, but you never quite know the circumstances.

The call was about drug dealers giving away free candy-colored Fentanyl to children. Fox News has them very concerned that their grand children will OD on Fentanyl this halloween so they wanted to make sure we knew to go to the police to have our candy tested lol.

Imagine opening up a box of whoppers and seeing fentanyl that is completely indistinguishable from regular chocolate covered malted balls, as you can see below.



I know my in-laws, like many GOPers, are real fuzzy on how the economy and businesses actually function, but do they really think that drug dealers would rather give away their best product in order to kill American children rather than selling it to willing customers? Maybe years of worshiping Trump has made them all as bad at business at him, I don't know.

What I do know is that we're now going to have to "test" all of our kid's halloween candy. The only test I can trust is my own taste test but it's a challenge I'm willing to take.


For those unaware of the reality of fentanyl making its way to children.

https://www.dea.gov/press-releases/2022/08/30/dea-warns-brightly-colored-fentanyl-used-target-young-americans
I will note for anyone with a poorly functioning brain who has trouble understanding information like this, there is a big difference between targeting young people for drug sales (like the tobacco/vape companies do) and giving your product to 5 year olds masquerading as halloween candy. Nowhere has the DEA claimed that drug dealers are giving away Fentanyl to elementary school children. What they've claimed is that drug dealers are making it look like candy to appeal to the audience they are trying to sell the drugs to in exchange for money. Pretty important distinction, and one that was the focus of my post and most other rational discussions of this imaginary halloween problem.


I can assure you that most republican parents aren't afraid of a massive amount of fentanyl pills in a bulk Whoppers box as your picture indicates, which I believe is from a smuggler. Rather, parents are generally concerned because just a tiny bit of fentanyl can kill someone and fentanyl is being made to look like candy. It is that combination that makes it simply something to be weary of in your community, especially during Halloween where candy is given out by strangers and is around everywhere. I definitely agree it is nothing to be hysterical about. It sounds like you have a hysterical family.
Let's make a bet. I say that not a single child dies from Fentanyl given by a drug dealer on Halloween to trick or treaters this year. If I'm wrong, I will never post in OT again. If I'm right, you never post in OT again. Easy low-stakes bet to make.

I think we both know you won't agree to it just as we both know that this is a craven political attack meant to serve the GOP, just like they've done with "caravans" in the past. There is no halloween story here but you are playing your part.

If I'm wrong, take my bet. What do you have to lose?


Child goes to the ER or hospital during the week of Halloween caused by ingesting fentanyl disguised as candy. I will take that bet.

Interesting that I first discovered this story from a liberal family member who is a physician with children and attended a top university.
Does anyone remember when conservatives were fear-mongering about fentanyl for Halloween?

My in-laws visited this week and brought us a CPR kit because Fox News has them very concerned. I think we managed to avoid trick or treating at cartel houses last night but we haven't "tested" all the kids' candy yet.

What's the next hoax?

Hahahahahahhaaaaaaaa!

As I recall, he claimed that he was "goaded" into this bet.
Even though he set the terms of the bet.

And then he welched.
Shocker.

Halloween fentanyl from Biden's border crisis the latest horror from this administration | Fox News




I didn't accept the bet because it wasn't my point in the first place. I was being goaded into it. Look up the word welch. You have the demeanor of Trump and just repeat insults. It is classless.

Girl feels guilty, immoral.

Is that what you mean ?

Just like with caravans and other election-year fear-mongering we've seen the last few years from the GOP, the entire candy-colored fentanyl scare was a right wing psyop. There was never any risk in relation to the underlying facts (drugs are smuggled in lots of ways, including in candy boxes, and some drugs are colorful in order to appeal to young adults and adolescents). This is nothing new and 2022 did not present a heightened risk.

003 is just proving how incredibly disingenuous he is and making excuses for the fact that he once again fell prey to an obvious right wing misinformation campaign.

Not only did he fall prey to an obvious right-wing misinformation campaign,
but he clearly WELCHED on the bet that he made with you.



Flagged for trolling.


Wow.
I'm just catching up on this thread.
I didn't know there was so much back and forth energy going on here. Page 7 is lit.

I'm sorry. I was just entering, thought I'd make a pun. Please don't take it personally.

If I may, though…
I took one law class, and recall that for a contract to be legal, there must be an offer, and an acceptance of the offer. An offer can be rescinded before the acceptance.
But, wait. What if an acceptance is sent by mail, yet before it arrives a phone call is made rejecting the offer, thus negating the mailed acceptance. Okay, then no contract.

What if letter 1 accepting arrives Monday, is read, and letter 2 arrives Tuesday rejecting the offer… contract is valid.

What if both letters are read on Wednesday? I think it depends on which was opened and read first.


Thus, with this exchange, was the Acceptance or Denial post read first???

Did any trick or treaters wind up in the hospital this year because their "treat" was fentanyl?

I think that we would have heard about it by now from the Right Wing psychopaths at FAUX NEWS if it actually happened, no?




All my Halloween candy turned out to be fentanyl and I am going to buy a Porsche GT3 with the proceeds.


But first you have to get an allocation from your dealer.
That's the hard part.

2022 GT3 with a 85k markup. It was sold immediately : Porsche (reddit.com)

I'm old enough to remember when the GOP used to pretend to care about the constitution and democracy. I sort of like it better now that they stopped pretending. It's more honest.



In other news, Florida kingmaker behind Ron Desantis apparently committed suicide, although perhaps Qanon people believe differently. He was under investigation for sexual misconduct. He was Desantis' biggest proponent for governor, and provided Ron with a condo he lived in when he was running for governor. Ron placed him on the board of governors for UF and he held other prominent roles - board of Boys and Girls club, for example. Would anyone be surprised if this guy was a groomer? I imagine Ron will do everything in his power to kill the investigation.

That's why we've started using the fascism word. Only their viewpoint is a legitimate reflection of the people.

Ever since Obama's election, we've been dealing with the moaning and thrashing of older conservatives who just can't understand why their ideas are not that popular anymore. Hopefully not for much longer.

But at least at that time they could argue they were still reasonably popular.
