Maybe we should just start a The World Has Gone Mad thread

[Boomhauer]

There sure are a lot of "mad world" competitors these days. I would have never guessed that in my lifetime (or anyone's lifetime) I would be reading stories written in a "this is great" light about the thriving business of cutting the breasts off of 13 year old girls in the United States of America.

How is this different from genital mutilation of African girls?

It’s such an improvement that half of them kill themselves in regret.

Okay, THIS is a world gone mad. Playing James Madison's flute while twerking.  I can't even...

From the article:

According to the indictment, Gabrielian met with the undercover agent in a hotel on Aug. 24 in Baltimore, Maryland. During the meeting, she called Henry a “coward” for being nervous about leaking information protected by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA. Gabrielian also said she had no issue with violating HIPPA and that she did it “all the time.”

Why would medical records be worth handing-over to a hostile government?  What could they do with that sort of information?

Why would medical records be worth handing-over to a hostile government?  What could they do with that sort of information?

My first thought is for blackmail purposes: especially if the records contained sensitive information about sex, drugs, or mental health issues.  Secondarily, to an enemy power, it may useful to know if someone who might be facing you on the battlefield or diplomatic conference room has something like cancer, and therefore may have a limited life expectancy or cognitive issues.  Look at all the surmising here about Biden's and Putin's health and impact on their decision-making capability.

The very idea that this nation's fate would be placed in the hands of the cognitively impaired - what preposterous imaginings you suggest, sir!

I wonder if we will ever definitively know if President Reagan was showing signs of Alzheimer's dementia while in office.

[Ron]

What difference does it make if the actors in office have dementia when they are nothing more than frontmen?

I was 8 years old at the time, so I wasn't paying attention. Was Reagan exhibiting Biden-like behavior prior to the 84 election?

I suspect that if he did we would have known because it would have been damaging to his legacy and embarrassing  to his supporters.

[Ron]

It was never much of an issue while Reagan was in office at least publicly. The Bush people who were around him leaked some stuff but he passed his physical with no problems. This was at the end of his second term.

Having Bush as VP stopped cold any real progress Reagan could have made against Clown World. The Bushes and Clintons more or less are the ones who let the clowns out of the clown car. I never liked HW Bush and he was there to control Reagan IMO.

[JTHunter]

Don't forget - Reagan was a democrat first and only became a republican later.

[Ron]

Don't forget - Reagan was a democrat first and only became a republican later.

There is that also, but I think him and Trump weren't down with the whole program. They actually did things that people who like heritage America would try to do. Maybe a faction of the beast system that wanted to preserve America instead of doing a controlled demolition.

The first elephant in that room is the underlying assumption that the public has a duty to support "woke" or "glass ceiling" films. (How shall I bear the shame of not rushing out to see it?) The second elephant is the phenomenon of a sodomite claiming you're a "weirdo" if you don't want to see a fun movie about 2 men falling in so-called love with each other.

I can't even think of the words.  Where's Batman to take care of these She-Riddlers?

A gang of six women wearing neon green bodysuits beat and robbed two 19-year-old women on a New York City subway early Sunday in a bizarre caught-on-video attack.

The incident happened around 2 a.m. on a Times Square subway train, police said.

Video posted online shows the six women aboard the train fighting with some passengers. At least one woman can be seen repeatedly punching a victim in her face while another appears to wrap her leg around a second victim and drag her to the floor.

Forget Batman, they'll just be back out to do it again and again.
I'm thinking Deadpool. The take down will be much more entertaining and they're won't be back to do it again.

I don't think they're going to get nearly as much of Illinois or California as they think they will.

The parts of Eastern Oregon that I frequent are more conservative than much of Western Idaho. Hence the push by like half of Oregon counties to become part of Idaho.

Sadly, those once red holdout areas in CA you're referring to are becoming either smaller and smaller or more and more purple.

Riddler Stumps Batman With Question ‘What Is A Woman?’

"Children Can Know They're Trans 'From the Womb"
In other words they can't start grooming them early enough

In a now-deleted video, a Boston hospital says that although most kids know they are transgender around the age of puberty, many know well before being born.

“So most of the patients we have in the clinic know their gender, usually around the age of puberty. But a good portion of children do know as early as seemingly - from the womb,” the video says, adding “and they will usually express their gender identity as very young children, some as soon as they can talk... kids know very, very early.”

The hospital is also facing heat after being accused of rushing under-18-year-olds into life-altering sex change surgery.

They need to make up their minds.  Are the unborn "lumps of cells" (basically a tumor) or children?  They can't have it both ways.
