Things that made you laugh today (Political Version)

[Gelston]

Elon Musk spent tens of billions of dollars to play gotcha, with zero long term impact on policy and the law. Well played? Sorry to hear your fortune has tanked because you're a nut job and your companies are crashing as a result of your mania! Except no, I'm not sorry, jk.

"tanked"

He still has has 180 billion dollars, I know you value shit for eating more highly though.

[Shaps]

Politics aside on this one as it’s an independent choice of the young adult and/or parents, but my thoughts… Living that way past lets say early 20s is a disservice for both the parent & young adult (child of parent). The young adult really isn’t grownup until they leave the house & experience the world for themselves. The parent(s) also needs to grow and experience the inevitable life without your child living with you. Perhaps this trend among others is why each generation is becoming weaker, softer, more immature, and entitled.

I have an 18 year old in out of state college and another going to college locally (had children as a young adult). My thoughts / rules as a father & the man of my house… I co-rule with my wife as a benevolent dictator. As long as my child lives in my home it’s our rules. To live with me you must be going to school full-time and do what I tell them. My oldest child (19) also has a part time job and has been saving for her own place. We agreed I would pay half her rent, but she has to pay the down payment & pay her half while going to school. I’m fortunate to be in a good financial position where I can afford to give them a head start / advantage in life. I pay their tuition and basic living expenses right now. When they finish college I expect them to start their careers and establish their own permanent residence. I will help with that, as well as buying their first home when the time comes & situation is right.

This is logical and sounds like a solid family approach.

The article was not about that, at all. That's the point... no politics involved in it.

I remember in the early & mid 2000s as a working young adult at that time, a good number of people my age lived as what we called $30k (salary) millionaires. Luxury retailers loved those people because they lived WAY beyond their means. They lived with 3-4 roommates in a not so large apartment. They leased a new 5 series BMW, had an amazing wardrobe consisting of popped double collared polos with Christian Dior jeans, and crippling credit card debt. Those guys were douche bags but at least they didn’t live with their parents…

Also Elon: Please create an angry mob to track down this person for me, here is their real life information.

Let's not forget all of Hunter Biden's personal info, and contact information for various political figures via Twitter. Cuz it's only doxxing when Elon is the target.

Add "real time" to things you get easily confused about.

Because you are that.fucking.retarded.

Do you wake up every morning and decide to be dumber today than you were tomorrow.. or is that the natural progression for you?

Like when you were born, were you of normal intelligence... and it just went downhill from that day? Like a Benjamin Button thing.. but only with your brain?

[Seran]

Soo a private phone number, or email address for our politicians and leaders is not 'real time' because no one would ever use that information for nefarious reasons. Meanwhile, Musky flying in a jet somewhere is real time because someone might be able to use that information for nefarious purposes.. Got it.

Your reasoning seems to be the be entirely based upon your own biases and faulty logic. That is okay though, it's nothing new to the board.

And now all of a sudden the reality sets in.

Except no, original Twitter had an aggressive policy against doxxing and banned lots of accounts and removed doxxing posts as they were discovered or reported. Musky changed that policy to remove the account belonging to the man posting the public information showing Musk's jet whereabouts. But posting personal information about anyone else is perfectly fine to Musk, as long as it's not his.

So in fact, remember that time you got all butt hurt that Twitter removed doxxing posts years ago, but are now cheering on Musk doxxing someone himself?

So to recap Seran's latest round of verbal diarrhea:

A far left lunatic attacked a car with Musk's very young child inside.
Musk then clarified the rules stating you can't dox people, including posting their whereabouts, so he banned an account that tracked his private jet.
Musk then posted information ABOUT THE CRIMINAL FAR LEFTIST WHO ATTACKED THE CAR HIS VERY YOUNG CHILD WAS IN.
Seran is now equating posting information ABOUT A CRIMINAL IN AN ATTEMPT TO BRING HIM TO JUSTICE to doxxing someone.

Seran is a cretin who defends a vile lunatic who attacks cars containing very small children, because in order to be a far leftist these days you have to literally sell your soul to the Devil herself: Hillary Clinton.

In Seran's defense, he doesn't know what real time means and has been an ardent supporter of grooming elementary children from Day 1.

Also, was I the only one who thought "Little X" was Lil Nas X?

[Parkbandit]

Wait a minute!

I was wondering why Seran has such a fucking hardon for Musk and what he's doing to Twitter to get him so upset.

It's probably not just that Musk is ruining the liberal echo chamber so I looked into it.

Seems like Seran, a gigantic advocate and supporter for teachers being able to groom elementary children in Florida, found out that Musk is trying to stop child trafficking on Twitter, that has been a problem since it's inception.

It all makes much more sense now.

No wonder Seran hates Musk!

The 'free speech' revolution on Musk's Twitter continues.. With the banning of journalists from big media outlets. Looks like the GOP has backed another crazy would be authoritarian. Kanye isn't alone!


Among those whose accounts were permanently suspended include CNN correspondent Donie O'Sullivan, New York Times technology reporter Ryan Mac, Washington Post reporter Drew Harwell, The Intercept journalist Micah Lee, Mashable writer Matt Binder, former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann and former Vox journalist Aaron Rupar.

Additionally, the Twitter account belonging to the social media rival Mastodon, which served as a safe haven for liberals who initially fled Twitter following Musk's takeover (many made their way back to Twitter).

Musk, who described himself as being a free-speech absolutist, received backlash for the purge of his critics, many calling for him to explain why those accounts were suspended.

[Suppressed Poet]

The Republican party was forever dead after Bush. The libertarians are the only thing keeping the Republicans on life support.

Somewhat agree if you are talking libertarian as a political ideology and not the political party.

I didn’t care for the Bush administration and the neo-cons. They really aren’t much different than classic liberal Democrats. Trump’s rise and appeal grew from the desire of people to drain the swamp of corrupt lifelong career self-serving politicians. Unfortunately he has let his ego take over and fights for himself rather than his policies. Republicans need new leadership that both defends core conservative American values but also governs/leads/compromises with a libertarian approach.

Conservative social values - toxic bullshit that needs to be put to death.

Conservative tax reform - Toxic. Nothing more than a poorly coated giveaway to corporations and 1% at the cost of everyone else and national debt accumulation.

Conservative foreign policy - Nonexistent to the extent Trump made this nothing but foreign terrorist appeasement and shredding political ties with our allies. A return to an inward focus with a stronger isolationist policies is what's needed. Outside of our NATO obligations anyways.

Conservative science goals - Nonexistent. The only science which was paid attention to was that which offended Christian beliefs: see Conservative social reforms. Retarding scientific growth on the behest of religious zealots is five hundred years dead.

Madison Cawthorn sued by own lawyers over $193K unpaid legal fees

The lawyers that represented U.S. Representative Madison Cawthorn during a legal challenge to his candidacy in the 2022 North Carolina Primary are now suing the congressman themselves.

The Bopp Law Firm filed a lawsuit on December 1, alleging Cawthorn has failed to pay $193,296.85 in legal fees and costs.

RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — Outgoing North Carolina Congressman Madison Cawthorn used what was likely his final address on the House floor to complain that American males are becoming less masculine.

Cawthorn, who lost to Chuck Edwards in the 11th Congressional District Republican primary in May, gave a one-minute speech Wednesday and said the United States has become “the nanny state” that has been made weaker by social media.

“Our young men are taught that weakness is a strength, that delicacy is desirable, and that being a soft metrosexual is more valuable than training the mind, body and soul,” Cawthorn said

This just might encourage Trump to start his own NFT company so he can directly profit from the sale of his image on NFTs though. 4.5m in one day for investing almost nothing to create the NFTs in the first place? Who wouldn't want to get in on this scam?

A woman married three times walked into a bridal shop one day and told the sales clerk that she was looking for a wedding gown for her fourth wedding.

'Of course, madam,' replied the sales clerk, 'exactly what type and color dress are you looking for?'

The bride to be said: 'A long frilly white dress with a veil.'

The sales clerk hesitated a bit, then said, 'Please don't take this the wrong way, but gowns of that nature are considered more appropriate for brides who are being married the first time - for those who are a bit more innocent, if you know what I mean? Perhaps ivory or sky blue would be nice?'

'Well,' replied the customer, a little peeved at the clerk's directness, 'I can assure you that a white gown would be quite appropriate. Believe it or not, despite all my marriages, I remain as innocent as a first-time bride. You see, my first husband was so excited about our wedding, he died as we were checking into our hotel.

My second husband and I got into such a terrible fight in the limo on our way to our honeymoon that we had that wedding annulled immediately and never spoke to each other again.'

'What about your third husband?' asked the sales clerk.
'That one was a Democrat,' said the woman, 'and every night for four years, he just sat on the edge of the bed and told me how good it was going to be, but nothing ever happened.'

This is actually a criminal act. It's called criminal extortion. But don't worry, I am not in the slightest bit surprised you fucks praise and defend this man. This is just an average Tuesday for the likes of you.

Now, I would agree with you, if Musk didn’t make the first offer.

Nope. The guy has ALWAYS demanded a brand new Tesla, right from the very beginning. Musk offered him 5k just to make him go away.

And in any case, all of that changed the moment a far left psycho attacked a car carrying his very young son. Now tracking Elon Musk's movement has put his family in danger, and this fucker knows it, and he is now criminally extorting Musk and as I predicted, people like you seem to be okay with it.

And actually no, Musk reached out first.


Musk did not immediately respond to a request for comment made through Tesla.

He first reached out to Sweeney on Nov. 30, according to screenshots of Twitter messages reviewed by NBC News, and Musk asked him for details about how the bot worked, remarked that air traffic control is "primitive" and said, "I don't love the idea of being shot by a nutcase."

Sweeney later asked Musk to "up" his $5,000 offer to $50,000, about the cost of a Tesla Model 3, which Musk considered for over a month, before Sweeney said he would also consider removing the account for an internship.

Then, some time after Jan. 23, Musk blocked him.

Sweeney said he has been interested in aviation and "everything Elon Musk and Tesla" for years before Musk reached out to him.

"He just ends up messaging me one night at, like, 1 a.m.," Sweeney said, adding that Musk first said the bot was a security risk but provided no evidence.


So yeah, it is haggling, not extortion at all, as Musk offered money in the first place. If it was so important to him, 50k to someone like Musk, is like $1 to the rest of us. I’m sure we’d pay 1 dollar if family security was really at risk.

And the dude was tracking his Jet, not his car.

He first reached out to Sweeney on Nov. 30, according to screenshots of Twitter messages reviewed by NBC News, and Musk asked him for details about how the bot worked, remarked that air traffic control is "primitive" and said, "I don't love the idea of being shot by a nutcase."

Sweeney later asked Musk to "up" his $5,000 offer to $50,000, about the cost of a Tesla Model 3, which Musk considered for over a month, before Sweeney said he would also consider removing the account for an internship.

Then, some time after Jan. 23, Musk blocked him.

Sweeney said he has been interested in aviation and "everything Elon Musk and Tesla" for years before Musk reached out to him.

"He just ends up messaging me one night at, like, 1 a.m.," Sweeney said, adding that Musk first said the bot was a security risk but provided no evidence.


So yeah, it is haggling, not extortion at all, as Musk offered money in the first place. If it was so important to him, 50k to someone like Musk, is like $1 to the rest of us. I’m sure we’d pay 1 dollar if family security was really at risk.

And the dude was tracking his Jet, not his car.

Yeah, so from the very beginning the guy had the idea in his head that he wanted 50k. He basically admits this, falling for the "I'm just doing this for fun!" is quite laughable. So Musk offered 5k and the guy said no, he wanted 50k. Fast forward a year later and the guy goes on CNN and repeats his extortion price of 50k.

As far as tracking his jet and "not his car"...you do know planes land at airports right? Where 99.99% of people then get into a car to reach their final destination? Of course some shitstain used this guy's plane tracker to see when "Elon" would land and then followed a car he thought contained Elon Musk himself.

Also it doesn't matter how much money it is, a crime is a crime. You're basically saying everyone should just pay extortionists and blackmailers if they can afford to do so. What a message to send.

Again, get better heroes. This is just beyond shameful at this point.

That’s quite an assumption, that’s like saying if you buy a gun, your main intent is to kill someone. Quite ridiculous, much like your statement.

Wow, he reminded Musk that his original offer still stands… such an evil kid!

He had that account since 2019 or something. Musk made an offer, and most people would have made a counter offer. Nothing wrong with that. Him making a counter offer doesn’t mean anything other than that.

Exertion involves something illegal, what that kid was doing, wasn’t illegal at all. Musk made an offer, he countered, perfectly legal in every way.

Extortion:
the practice of obtaining something, especially money, through force or threats:

What threat did the kid make to Musk? What did he force Musk to do?
Countering an offer, isn’t extortion. The kid didn’t use any threats, or try to force anything.


Musk: “tell me how do you track my plane?”
Kid: “with this software”
Musk: “it’s a security threat for me, I’ll give you $5k to take it down.
Kid: “how about 50k OR an internship?
Musk: *thinks it over, then blocks him”

At no point did the kid try to extort him.

I have no problem with agreeing with you, if the kid reached out to musk and demanded 50k to remove it. But he did NO such thing. Musk reached out first and made an offer, the kid made a counter offer, musk then blocked him. Kid did nothing wrong.


Your entire argument falls apart because Musk reached out first and offered money for the kid to stop doing something that he’s been doing for quite some time, and something perfectly legal.

[Solkern]

Journalists: Let's all go ahead and link to the website that is tracking Elon's jet, knowing full well the dude's Twitter account just got banned for doing exactly that.
Journalists: I'm shocked I'm no longer special and that I have to follow the same rules as these common peasants!

Fixed that for you, bud.

Also some, not ALL of the journalists he banned had posted links to an account that tracked his private jet. Facts are important.

It's like, not the same at all.

When I buy a gun it doesn't involve an involuntary second party. If I track a second parties whereabouts, it involves a second party by default.

These are not the same thing, like...at all. It's creepy that you are incapable of telling the difference.

[Seran]

Interesting to note that all of the information the software the young man was using on his website to track Elon's and other's planes uses public information about flights.

What is the purpose of a gun? The main purpose? Does it involve another target? It’s annoying that you don’t know this.
Him tracking jets using publicly used software, and claiming his main purpose is to get money, is just as stupid as saying the main purpose of me having a gun is to shoot someone.

No, you're right he didn't do anything wrong and that is the point about private business. What he did do was trash his own claims about bringing about a new age of transparency and anti-censorship to Twitter, singlehandedly banning reporters and detractors like the authoritarian he was born under. He's taking all the actions that Twitter's content moderation board previously reviewed and voted on as a group himself, a fulltime job that's taken away his oversight of other businesses which are rapidly devaluing.

Republicans via Fox News are taking aim at United States contributions to worldwide health programs. Malthusianism is apparently the Conservashit clarion call to arms by deliberately overlooking Hyde Amendment language that spells out funds aren't used for overseas abortions. Fuckin idiots don't realize that healthy parents, mean healthy children, but somehow that is wrong.

This of course lends credence to the belief that if Jesus Christ were administering to the sick and dying this day, he'd be labeled as a dangerous socialist by Conservative Republicans.


Bishop documented many of the examples from his Twitter account, including over half a billion dollars into "reproductive health" in places that could threaten endangered species.

"On a more sinister note, here's at least $575 million for ‘family planning’ in areas where population growth ‘threatens biodiversity.’ Malthusianism is a disturbing, anti-human ideology that should have ZERO place in any federal program," Bishop tweeted.

Did he ban or limit people from coming to America from China? Did he order the embassies to stop issuing visas, or limit the visas? Did he put a cap on flights?

You mean by requiring Covid test? That’s not really restricting anything, since you can get them for free in China, and if you did test positive you can just a wait few days and come.

Even though Trump didn’t really ban anyone. He “claimed” he did.

I know you usually post some pretty outrageous and dumb shit, but I mean come on, man!

Just so there is no confusion, here is the statement:


CDC is announcing today that it will implement a requirement for a negative COVID-19 test or documentation of recovery for air passengers boarding flights to the United States originating from the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macau. CDC is announcing this step to slow the spread of COVID-19 in the United States during the surge in COVID-19 cases in the PRC given the lack of adequate and transparent epidemiological and viral genomic sequence data being reported from the PRC.

Just so we're clear: ONLY people traveling from China are subjected to this new rule. Kind of like what Trump did.

Your only pathetic argument left is "But...but BIDEN isn't doing this...the CDC, which he has complete control over, is doing it!"

Stop.

And if I wait a few days and test negative, can I come to America? Oh that’s right I can. Try harder

Just so you know, I was never against travel ban from China when Trump did it, you can go back and find it, if you want. I only thought the travel ban was useless cause people could go into the states via third country, which made it pointless.

"For unvaccinated, we are looking at a winter of severe illness and death — if you’re unvaccinated — for themselves, their families, and the hospitals they’ll soon overwhelm.

But there’s good news: If you’re vaccinated and you had your booster shot, you’re protected from severe illness and death — period. "

Here's a sneak peak of the study for all of you low effort trolls.

"Excess deaths” – the percent increase in deaths above expected deaths due to seasonality, geographic location, political party affiliation and age – were similar for Republicans and Democrats in 2018 and early 2020. Both groups had a similar large spike in excess death in winter 2020-2021.

“However, in the summer of 2021 – after vaccines were widely available – the Republican excess death rate rose to nearly double that of Democrats, and this gap widened further in the winter of 2021,” the study said.

From March 2020 to December 2021, a time overlapping with the COVID-19 pandemic, average excess death rates were 76% higher among Republicans than Democrats. That grew to a 95% difference when measured from March 2020 to March 2021, and a 153% difference after April 5, 2021, “when all adults were eligible for COVID-19 vaccines in Florida and Ohio,” the study said.

“This sharp contrast in the excess death rate gap before and after vaccines were available suggests that vaccine take-up likely played an important role,” the study said. Factoring in county-level vaccination rates, areas with larger vaccination rates “saw much smaller excess death rate gaps between Republicans and Democrats (even after adjusting for county and age differences).”

I'm not sure how accurate a poll like this will be. There's a polling phenomenon where if people feel there is a "wrong" answer they will give the "right" answer. Considering how people were being negatively labeled for not taking the vaccine, this would certainly be one of those occasions

Too many variables to classify by political party, Republicans tend to be in the older age brackets...etc.

All polls have some margin of error. You asked for a source, I provided a reliable one.

Seran said more republicans died than democrats, which from multiple sources have stated that it is true.

Republicans are older and are more at risk, which is/was more of a reason to get the vaccination.
But a 9 point swing before and after the vaccine roll out, in itself is quite telling.

I don't understand why he was smiling and holding the hammer (Pelosi). Why didn't he immediately ask for aid? Hope the loser with the hammer doesn't get cashless bail like all the other violent offenders. Seriously though, he should def serve time for assault with a deadly weapon.

[Tgo01]

I can see why the Democrats fought tooth and nail against having that video released. What an absolute shit show. The reports made it sound like the door magically opened on its own and the police immediately saw Paul in a fight for his life.

Instead Paul and the dude answered the door together, and Paul is so terrified for his life that he has one hand on the hammer and the other hand is holding a drink (which he never drops), and instead of immediately asking for help he just says “hi” twice. Even after the attacker starts to fight for the hammer he still doesn’t ask for help and just says “hey hey hey.”

Probably drugs or alcohol, or both, which is probably why Democrats fought so hard against having this video released. The dude never drops the drink, even as the guy is swinging the hammer at his head.

[Shaps]

Shame that he was assaulted, but there is no way that guy broke into their place and Paul's sitting around able to answer the door that casually with a drink in hand and that... what's the word... unconcerned.

No idea if was drugs, a sex thing, or something else... but something was going on in there.

I just don't get how an intruder would allow the host to casually walk around and then answer the door so easily. I'm not crazy either, so maybe that's why I can't imagine it...

I also don't get how the guy would continue to allow Pelosi to keep talking on the phone - since he responds and alters an answer for him - when Pelosi makes the 911 call.

Situation is god damn strange is what it is.

[Shaps]

Okay... now this is some real weird shit... start watching at 37 seconds... slow it to .5x speed...

The "INTRUDER" opened the door with a remote device... watch his left hand... you'll hear the chime of the door opening, his left hand puts something in his jacket pocket, then his left hand returns to Pelosi's right arm.

Pelosi's right hand is on the hammer, and his left is holding a drink... so he couldn't open it.

So the actual "attacker" opened the door....

Pretty sure there's nothing more nails on a chalkboard sounding than these idiots shrieking anytime they don't get their way.

Can't wait to hear Seran's white knighting.

Okay... now this is some real weird shit... start watching at 37 seconds... slow it to .5x speed...

The "INTRUDER" opened the door with a remote device... watch his left hand... you'll hear the chime of the door opening, his left hand puts something in his jacket pocket, then his left hand returns to Pelosi's right arm.

Pelosi's right hand is on the hammer, and his left is holding a drink... so he couldn't open it.

So the actual "attacker" opened the door....

This is fucking strange as all get out.

So, the guy beating Pelosi over the head with the hammer, his confession to the police, subsequent court hearing confessions are all suspicious because of what you saw at 0:37?

[Tgo01]

Just skip through all the bullshit commentary, these meltdowns are glorious. :rofl:

Those fuckers were as giddy as could be when they removed Republicans from committee assignments, something that was a first to my knowledge, or at least hasn't happened in a very long time (usually each party decides who to add and remove from committees), but now they literally cry and meltdown and throw out every "ism" in the book when it happens to them.

Welcome to the House Minority party, bitches! You got at least another 2 years of this, hopefully many decades.

Yes.. because what my eyes see in video evidence is actually what happened.

You believing what is "said" versus what you can "see" for yourself, is a you problem.

Unless Pelosi opened the door with his pecker, there's no way he opened it himself.

[Tgo01]

You can't even make this shit up anymore.

Remember how the left fell for the conspiracy theory that Hunter Biden's laptop wasn't real and was just "Russian disinformation"? Well now Hunter Biden's lawyers are calling for criminal charges against people who leaked personal information from Hunter Biden's laptop.

But...but Hunter Biden's laptop wasn't real? Oh wait, NOW it's real and publicizing information from an abandoned laptop is now apparently illegal so let's stop talking about what a criminal Hunter Biden is and let's talk about what a criminal literally everyone else is.

I sometimes wonder how people can be so fucking dumb to fall for this shit over and over and over and over again, but then I log into the PC and remember that your average leftist has the IQ of Seran, so it makes complete sense.

This is normally the case... but according to the owner, they repaired the laptop and attempted to have Hunter come in a pay for the service for months. The laptop was claimed as abandoned by the shop owner when Hunter didn't come in a pay his bill.. and the rest is history. Once the laptop was determined to be abandoned, the ownership of the laptop transferred to the shop owner.

So there's plenty of there there.

Scientists suggest authoritarian attitudes may be partly rooted in biological urge to avoid catching diseases from unfamiliar people


The findings support the theory that feelings of disgust might partly underpin social discrimination.

People who have a greater tendency to turn their nose up at the whiff of urine, sweat and other body odours are more likely to have rightwing authoritarian attitudes, research suggests.

The study also found having a greater disgust for body odours was linked, albeit to a small degree, with support for Donald Trump when he was a presidential candidate.

The team say the findings support the idea that a feeling of disgust might partly underpin social discrimination against others, with the link rooted in a primitive urge to avoid catching diseases from unfamiliar people or environments.

“We think that authoritarian attitudes might, at least in part, be rooted in biology,” said Dr Jonas Olofsson, co-author of the research from Stockholm University and the Swedish Collegium for Advanced Study.

But, he stressed, feelings of disgust are not immutable. “Even though disgust is a very primitive emotion that is definitely rooted in our biological survival, it can still be altered,” he said.

Previous studies have linked levels of disgust to political orientation, with some research suggesting those who identify as conservative have greater aversion to revolting images.

Olofsson said his team were keen to explore whether the response of individuals towards scenarios linked to scent alone revealed a similar association.

“We think that olfaction might be at the root of the pathogen detection system, so body odour disgust might be the most primitive, most fundamental way to detect pathogens,” he said.

Writing in the journal Royal Society Open Science, Olofsson and colleagues report how they explored the issue across three experiments, involving a total of more than 750 participants recruited online.

Participants were presented with questionnaires on a number of topics, including their degree of social, fiscal and moral liberalism and their level of disgust towards pathogens – assessed by asking participants to rate on a seven point scale their response to phrases such as “sitting next to someone who has red sores on their arm”.

They were also asked to rate on a scale how disgusted they were by a collection of statements linked to body odours such as “You are sitting next to a friend and notice that your feet smell strongly,” and how emphatically they agreed with 15 statements linked to rightwing authoritarianism such as “Our country needs a powerful leader, in order to destroy the radical and immoral currents prevailing in society today.”

In addition, one group of participants was also asked to respond to a series of statements designed to gauge how much they supported five of the 2016 US presidential candidates, including Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

The results reveal that rightwing authoritarianism was linked to a feeling of repulsion towards body odours, and that the link also underpinned a weak association between such feelings of disgust and support for Donald Trump.

In addition, the studies showed that levels of body odour disgust showed a stronger link to authoritarianism than levels of disgust at the possibility of catching a bug. However, while body odour disgust was linked to rightwing authoritarianism, it was not linked to other measures of political conservatism – although the authors note that could be down to the nature of the questions.

“Our results show that about 10% of authoritarianism – ie how people vary in this regard – could be explained by their body odour disgust sensitivity,” explained Olofsson. About 2% of Trump support could be explained by how disgusted people were by the thought of body odours, he said.

The findings, Olofsson noted, mean that it is not possible to accurately assess a person’s authoritarianism, or their political preference, based on their responses to body odour. “The effects are subtle,” he said..

Roger Giner-Sorolla, professor of social psychology at the University of Kent who was not involved in the study, said the research tied in with previous studies suggesting people who are sensitive to physical disgust are also more intolerant of lower-status social groups.

The focus on body odour disgust, he added, was interesting. “This supports a more directly social origin for this kind of prejudice – as Orwell wrote in The Road to Wigan Pier, ‘that is what we were taught – the lower classes smell’,” he said. “This adds to the evolutionary account that prejudice makes use of disgust because people outside one’s group carry unfamiliar diseases.”

It is noted by historians that Hitler was obsessed with personal hygiene & was a big germaphobe. He bathed multiple times a day. I’m guessing this was the inspiration for this study, but I’d be skeptical of correlating disgust with right wing authoritarianism.

Consequently, Mao Zedong never brushed his teeth and slept with countless number of dirty commie peasants. He was once asked if he ever washed his dick and he is quoted saying “I wash myself in the bodies of my women.”

As expected Norfolk Southern is going to be held responsible for any and all cleanup costs associated with the Ohio train derailment.


EPA demands Norfolk Southern handle all cleanup after the Ohio toxic train wreck and threatens consequences

The US Environmental Protection Agency is ordering Norfolk Southern to handle all necessary cleanup after its train carrying toxic chemicals derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, more than two weeks ago.

The agency said it intends to force Norfolk Southern to pay and if it falls short, the company will be significantly fined, the agency said.

If the company fails to complete any actions as ordered by EPA, the agency will immediately step in, conduct the necessary work and then seek to compel Norfolk Southern to pay triple the cost, the agency said.

The EPA said it will exercise its strongest authority against the train’s operator under CERCLA – the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act.

Union Pacific

Union Pacific is probably the best maintained railway in the country, their tracks are ALWAYS in pristine condition. They recently purchased the old Rock Island lines and replaced all the tracks over the past 4 years. They are even paying for an overpass in the town I live in so we don't have to wait on their traffic, something they were not required to do.

They should have striked and shut down the company rather than wreck a train, but Biden forced them to comply because of politics.

So, it's the federal governments fault for:

1) Not intervening further in a labor dispute between a greedy company and it's employees.
2) Not forcing private business to increase the number of engineers and crew on board trains.
3) Not requiring companies hire adequate employees to perform regular maintenance on track, rail and rolling stock.

Are you sure you're not a Communist? For all of these things to be the fault of the government, rather than private industry greed, the Feds would have had to of nationalized the rail carriers and been in control of all their business and operations. As that's not happened, you're going to have to write your representatives in Congress to work on a nationalization bill.

The rail road strike is irrelevant to corporate malfeasance.

What /is/ relevant are the railroad safety changes made by the Trump administration enabling this. Or do you think making it easier for corporations to avoid safety upgrades by making them optional is less relevant than the corporations deciding to understaff trains to increase profits?

Total lack of surprise when Trump's rollback of rules that would mandate new electronic control braking systems on trains carrying flammable substances results in large derailments and environmental coasters. I'm just glad some of you are aware of Trump being proven culprit in so many scandals.


US miscalculated benefit of better train brakes

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — President Donald Trump's administration miscalculated the potential benefits of putting better brakes on trains that haul explosive fuels when it scrapped an Obama-era rule over cost concerns, The Associated Press has found.

A government analysis used to justify the cancellation omitted up to $117 million in estimated future damages from train derailments that could be avoided by using electronic brakes. Revelation of the error stoked renewed criticism Thursday from the rule's supporters, who called the analysis biased.

Department of Transportation officials acknowledged the mistake after it was discovered by the AP during a review of federal documents. They said a correction will be published to the federal register.

But transportation spokesman Bobby Fraser said the decision not to require the brakes would stand under a Congressional act that said the costs couldn't exceed the rule's benefits.

"This was an unintentional error," Fraser. "With the correction, in all scenarios costs still outweigh benefits."

Safety advocates, transportation union leaders and Democratic lawmakers oppose the administration's decision to kill the brake rule, which was included in a package of rail safety measures enacted in 2015 under President Barack Obama following dozens of accidents by trains hauling oil and ethanol in the U.S. and Canada.
