I don't blame Substack. I suspect the powers that be may be messing with communications run from the Bay Area.

Good thing Donnie golfed all weekend & has a light day today. (He always has a light day. He just has a better excuse today). He travels tomorrow, so you can take Mrs. Spouse out for a movie or something.

I mean, really, Uncle Jeff, does any of us actually FINISH before 11am.

I get one thing done, then I have to go to the next thing (writing the evening's lgbtqia+ bar story....which interestingly, I actually enjoy).

Finishing by 11am....just means the next task ahead is in queue. :)

Didn't Charlie Kirk want the Epstein files released, unredacted? He did a little flip-flop after talking to dumpster but then went back to saying they should be released.

All "conservatives" should be demanding the release as a way to honor Charlie, right?

Traditional political violence Lindsey? You mean when they used to take boys like you out back and beat the shit out of them for being gay or suspected of being gay? Or did you prefer the lynchings of black men and boys? Perhaps the cross burnings? Or maybe the witch burnings?

Expand full comment
Bob's avatar

“Traditional political violence”?

Like the JFK, Medgar Evers and MLK Jr. killings. Let’s see, lone gunman firing a rifle with a scope from a hidden location. Or how about Lincoln, McKinley and RFK Jr.? Lone gunman with a pistol able to get right next to the target because of lax security? Or maybe he means when company goons, or state militias or the Klan would open fire on workers; the dozens and dozens of events span more than 125 years, from 1850 to 1979. Which one is traditional, Lindsay?

THIS is what Lindsey Graham is thinking about - good old "traditional political violence:

September 15, 1963 - At 10:22 on Sunday, a bomb ripped through the all black 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, killing 4 young girls and wounding one getting ready for Sunday Service. Four white men, Thomas Blanton, Robert Chambliss, Herman Cash, and Bobby Frank Cherry, from the Cahaba River Group, which had splintered off from another Ku Klux Klan group because they didn’t think it was aggressive enough, were the bombers. The FBI investigation ended without indictments, and it wasn't until 2001 that ALL the bombers (except Cash who died of old age) were finally indicted, tried, and convicted.

George in Atlanta's avatar

Well I, for one, am VERY worried about that. I do NOT want some fresh trans man looking down and judging my wiener in the restroom! I mean, at the very least, women who transition should be FORCED to undergo some kind of mandatory orientation class where they learn the very specific and delicate protocols in the Men's Room! Women have no clue!!! (The first rule is we don't talk about it.)

Ben Zamir's avatar

As a transman (post-transition about 25 years), I'd asked my older brother about men's room protocols...he shared wisdom with me, "Don't look, don't talk, and don't play with yourself (or anyone else), and it's really ok to flush and wash your hands."
