Stop the Steal!

Rudy Giuliani, Mike Lindell Win Big At The Mocking Razzie Awards

Giuliani, the former New York Mayor and ex-personal lawyer to Trump, scooped the Worst Supporting Actor and Worst Screen Combo (alongside his pants zipper) gongs for that inadvertent performance in “Borat Subsequent Movefilm.”My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell, meanwhile, won the Worst Actor award for his bonkers, conspiracy theory-filled “documentary,” “Absolute Proof.”

The film — which was banned from YouTube — also secured the award for Worst Picture.

“Oh boy, here comes the demands for a recount,” cracked the voiceover of the announcement video for the awards

Started watching this video last night Lizzy and had to stop. Frail, 73, dementia, yet that f***ing ape thought it was appropriate to tackle her to the ground and handcuff her, seriously injuring her in the process. And then he laughed about it. I hope someone smashes his neanderthal face in.

I watched the whole thing yesterday and kept thinking that someone was going to come in and sort them out and help her. Right the bitter end and then I read the comments from people who live there who know nothing will happen to them. I don't care how many lovely people live there, America is ****ed.

They had better be charged with assault, as well as whatever else applies. Also sue him within an inch of his bank account.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...box=1619572578

This country really needs to start again with its policing, but I have no idea how, having said that.


"“I was super excited,” he says. “I was like, ‘All right, let’s wrestle, girl. Let’s wreck it!’ I got her on the ground and all that stuff. I got her cuffed up … threw her on the ground a couple of times.”

That is truly a 'WTF' incident.

This gives a new meaning to "taking a s**t"

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/a-...i=BBnb7KzFirst responders have rescued a man who became imprisoned inside a porta-potty at the site of a historic Gettysburg battlefield in Pennsylvania.

On Friday, volunteer firefighters from the Barlow Volunteer Fire Department responded to a 911 call at Little Round Top to find that a large tree that had toppled in high winds had crushed a car and a portable latrine, The New York Daily Record reported.

More mega - or perhaps maga - wtf? Headline of article doesn't do justice to the complete insanity of this:

"n Wednesday, Samsel, R-Wellsville, was substitute teaching at the Wellsville school district’s secondary school. Throughout the day, high school students began recording videos of the lawmaker talking about suicide, sex, masturbation, God and the Bible."

...

"At one point, Samsel tells the student, “You’re about ready to anger me and get the wrath of God. Do you believe me when I tell you that God has been speaking to me?” He then pushes him, and the student runs to the other side of the classroom.

“You should run and scream.”

And there's more...

I read this and hoped that by making this public, this failure of a teacher would be suspended, if not fired, from his position immediately.

Samsel “put hands” on a student, parents told The Star, and allegedly “kneed him in the crotch.” The Republican state representative then allegedly questioned the student for being on the verge of tears and suggested he go to the school nurse.
Kansas lawmaker arrested in alleged battery of high schooler says incident was 'planned'

“The kids and I planned ALL this to SEND A MESSAGE about art, mental health, teenage suicide, how we treat our educators and one another. To who? Parents. And grandparents. And all of Wellsville,” he wrote on Snapchat, according to the Star.
Even if it was planned, I doubt the school would have sanctioned it.

This is an 11 or 12 year old girl https://uk.yahoo.com/news/sixth-grad...015300005.html
Had a gun in her backpack, took it out and started shooting in the hallway.

I'm a grandparent of one 10 year old and 2 12 year olds and I cannot for the life of me fathom a child this age doing such a thing. What mental or emotional disturbance does this young girl have?

It'll be 'too soon' to talk about gun control, then it'll be too late.

Not necessarily any. Just access to guns.
