• Shot across the bow

    From Jeff Thiele@1:387/26 to All on Sunday, November 07, 2021 18:52:20
    Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) has declared war on men who play video games, watch online pornography, and aren't married with children.

    After initially claiming it was the left who were attacking the "men of America," but appeared to contradict that when questioned further.

    "What's a man?" Hawley asked rhetorically, before answering his own question: "Well, a man is a father. A man is a husband. A man is somebody who takes responsibility. As conservatives, we've got to call men back to
    responsibility. We've got to say that spending your time not working[?]. And
    we have more and more men who are not working. Spending their time on video games. Spending your time watching porn online while doing nothing is not
    good for you, your family, or this country."

    If Hawley considers "watching porn online while doing nothing" to be bad for everyone, what does he think that men should be doing while watching online pornography? He declined to elaborate.

    He also did not elaborate on grown men who spend their time and resources running BBS systems and antiquated communication networks, although something tells me he would not approve.

    Furthermore, Hawley did not explain what gender these "non-men" are. Are they women? Are these men who spend their time playing video games, watching pornography, and generally not working entitled to use the women's restroom?
    Or are they some non-binary gender?

    Please join me in writing to Sen. Hawley to let him know that we desperately need clarification. Our very manhoods depend on it.

    Hello Jeff,

    Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) has declared war on men who play video games, watch
    online pornography, and aren't married with children.

    So, men who play video games with their children, watch adult
    entertainment in the privacy of their own home rather than in
    public or acting out their fantasies in red light districts,
    and single men who are raising their own children are evil.

    And that means war! Total war! Just like the War on Christmas!

    After initially claiming it was the left who were attacking the "men of America," but appeared to contradict that when questioned further.

    And I thought it was his own idea.

    "What's a man?" Hawley asked rhetorically, before answering his own question:
    "Well, a man is a father. A man is a husband. A man is somebody who takes responsibility. As conservatives, we've got to call men back to responsibility. We've got to say that spending your time not working[?]. And
    we have more and more men who are not working. Spending their time on video
    games. Spending your time watching porn online while doing nothing is not good for you, your family, or this country."

    Will somebody please explain to Hawley that there are many single
    people (both men and women) who raise their children alone, without
    being a couple? Even Joe Biden had to do that, for a while.

    Most people (both men and women) are responsible people, and act
    in a responsible manner. Such as watching adult entertainment in the
    privacy of their own homes, rather than in public, etc.

    So much for the elderly and disabled who have to depend on fixed
    incomes in order to survive. In Hawley's mind, everybody should be
    slaves. Otherwise, they are of no use to anybody.

    Of course, he is restricting his rant to men, rather than women.
    We all know what he wants to use women for.

    If Hawley considers "watching porn online while doing nothing" to be bad for
    everyone, what does he think that men should be doing while watching online
    pornography? He declined to elaborate.

    Do you beat your meat? I'll bet Hawley does. With a passion.

    He also did not elaborate on grown men who spend their time and resources running BBS systems and antiquated communication networks, although something
    tells me he would not approve.

    Now, if he beats somebody else's meat, I'd say he has a real problem.

    Furthermore, Hawley did not explain what gender these "non-men" are. Are they
    women? Are these men who spend their time playing video games, watching pornography, and generally not working entitled to use the women's restroom?
    Or are they some non-binary gender?

    You have to understand. There are five sexes of man. Male, female, pseudo-hermaphrodites, true hermaphrodites, and eunuchs. Not really
    sure which one Hawley is.

    Please join me in writing to Sen. Hawley to let him know that we desperately
    need clarification. Our very manhoods depend on it.

    It is going to take somebody with real balls to do that.
    Something that Hawley apparently does not have.

    Apparently so.

    After initially claiming it was the left who were attacking the "men America," but appeared to contradict that when questioned further.
    And I thought it was his own idea.

    He desperately wants us to think it was the left's idea.

    "What's a man?" Hawley asked rhetorically, before answering his own question:
    "Well, a man is a father. A man is a husband. A man is somebody who t responsibility. As conservatives, we've got to call men back to responsibility. We've got to say that spending your time not working[ And

    Will somebody please explain to Hawley that there are many single

    As did I.

    Most people (both men and women) are responsible people, and act
    in a responsible manner. Such as watching adult entertainment in the privacy of their own homes, rather than in public, etc.

    What makes you think that what happens in your bedroom is no one's business
    but your own?

    So much for the elderly and disabled who have to depend on fixed
    incomes in order to survive. In Hawley's mind, everybody should be
    slaves. Otherwise, they are of no use to anybody.

    Not just slaves. Manly slaves. Manly man-slaves.

    Of course, he is restricting his rant to men, rather than women.
    We all know what he wants to use women for.

    Porn?

    If Hawley considers "watching porn online while doing nothing" to be for
    everyone, what does he think that men should be doing while watching online
    pornography? He declined to elaborate.
    Do you beat your meat? I'll bet Hawley does. With a passion.

    All manly men do.

    He also did not elaborate on grown men who spend their time and resou running BBS systems and antiquated communication networks, although something
    tells me he would not approve.
    Now, if he beats somebody else's meat, I'd say he has a real problem.

    Ehhhh. I'd say that would depend on the presence or absence of consent.

    Furthermore, Hawley did not explain what gender these "non-men" are. they
    women? Are these men who spend their time playing video games, watchi pornography, and generally not working entitled to use the women's restroom?
    Or are they some non-binary gender?
    You have to understand. There are five sexes of man. Male, female, pseudo-hermaphrodites, true hermaphrodites, and eunuchs. Not really
    sure which one Hawley is.

    I do think he's got a lot of self-loathing, though, that he's trying to take out on the rest of us.

    Please join me in writing to Sen. Hawley to let him know that we desperately
    need clarification. Our very manhoods depend on it.
    It is going to take somebody with real balls to do that.

    Fair point.

    Pay no attention to the mumbling old fool in the White House.

    At least that is what the maniacally laughing government official said when asked about high gas prices on the news the other day. I wish I could find
    the clip again. Yes, she really does laugh like a super villian before
    giving her answer and, no, it was not Kamala.

    There are also a bunch of clips where Buttigeg says that highways are

    Dealing with climate change is going to be difficult, and there will be many aspects of it that we won't like. Had we started addressing the problem, I don't know, *30 years ago* when it was first identified, maybe we'd be in a different place now.

    Conservatives crying over expensive fossil fuels during a climate change catastrophe that they helped to exacerbate by dragging their feet for 3 decades? I don't know whether I'd laugh or cry, either.

    They can't fix the world's emissions problem. All they can do is regulate our industries to death, for nothing, at our expense, while other countries are free to trash the earth in any way they see fit. If the USA wants to cut emissions, fine then, but let's do it without any "accord."

    It was that moron Granholm we sent packing here in Michigan. Her campaign slogan was "You'll be blown away." And we were.

    We were blown away by how fast she screwed up the state.

    "Racism" no longer has meaning. It's no different than crying "wolf!" today.

    Hello Jeff,

    Pay no attention to the high gas prices.
    But, but, but that has nothing to do with poor old Joe. That is OPEC's
    fault and was not caused by the executive order that cut our oil
    production that Joe signed during his first few days in office.

    Dealing with climate change is going to be difficult, and there will be many
    aspects of it that we won't like. Had we started addressing the problem, I don't know, *30 years ago* when it was first identified, maybe we'd be in a
    different place now.

    Not really.

    But that's not what we chose to do. We chose to deny the problem while continuing to make it worse, but boy, didn't we enjoy that cheap gas!

    The land is sinking. And the sea is rising. Along with that, storms
    (such as hurricanes) are getting bigger. This is due to a number of
    factors, most of which is totally out of our control. There are many
    places in south Louisiana where people used to live, but is now open
    water. Just look at the pictures of Louisiana before, and after,
    Hurricane Ida. Huge amounts of land disappeared. This has been going
    on for decades, but what Hurricane Ida did was on a massive scale.

    At least that is what the maniacally laughing government official said
    when asked about high gas prices on the news the other day. I wish I
    could find the clip again. Yes, she really does laugh like a super
    villian before giving her answer and, no, it was not Kamala.

    Conservatives crying over expensive fossil fuels during a climate change catastrophe that they helped to exacerbate by dragging their feet for 3 decades? I don't know whether I'd laugh or cry, either.

    Gas and other fossil fuels are still cheap over here, compared to
    elsewhere. So what are conservatives crying about? Do they want
    everything for free?

    There are also a bunch of clips where Buttigeg says that highways are
    racists. I must have missed where highways became sentient.

    Perhaps if you heard him out it might make sense.

    He's not a member of the Log Cabin Republicans.

    There have been hurricanes forever, but there is no denying that they are getting more frequent and more powerful. This is due to there being more
    energy in the atmosphere, which is in turn due to the inability of the Earth
    to reflect that energy back to space because of an increase of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere.

    There is no quick, easy, inexpensive solution to the problem, but there are solutions.
