Ya know… I mean … nobody enjoys hurling invective, taunts and insults at jerkoffs like this guy, but no TPM article on the completion of the evacuation of Kabul and the end of a 20 year war? Did I miss it?

“I’m going in with 20 strong men, and I’m going to speak to the school board, and I’m going to give them an option. They can leave or they can be removed,” Lynch said. …

…Lynch claimed that he did not intend to threaten violence against school board members…

Yeah, Steve? Then why does it matter that they’re “strong?” Are you making an adult video afterward or something?

Maybe he can enlist Gaetz and Jordan, those very manly men who were frantically calling Trump to save them from his mob of MAGA thugs on January 6.

…put them in camps where they can learn what ‘work’ really means.

He uses this kind of threatening language addressing a school board? Do the parents of the students really want this kind of behavior running their education? Does he need 20 strong men to take the masks off little kids?
How these assholes choose the hills they want to die on is a mystery to me.

Do any of these twatwaffles have the first idea about how to actually, functionally manage and run a government, an agency, a school board? What would they actually DO if they somehow fulfilled their wet dream and successfully installed themselves in seats of power?

Seriously, if you’re that anatomically deficient in the genitalia department, why broadcast it to the world? Just learn to live with your shortcomings.

Is not threatening people with violence a crime?
And what’s this guy got against public health anyway?
Praps he can do his own radio show and rant about covid. That way he won’t last long before he comes down with it.

The only reason I can imagine why these doofy nerds come up with all this swaggering macho shit is they’re trying to keep up with the AM radio idiots. Either that or they’re scared shitless.

Ivermectin does have anti viral activity in a lab dish (known as “invitro”) on certain cell lines. It has yet to be rigorously tested for activity in live humans by the FDA.
Do not take it until it’s known and tested… thoroughly concerning covid.
Here is an article of the sort I tend to read on this subject…


It’s an approved anti-parasitic in critters (Horses and cattle) and has been used in humans but it has yet to be put through the ringer concerning covid. It works against covid in cell lines but that is different than in a walking around human.

What cell culture lines were used in the studies? I worked with CHO cells when I was a post-doc (centuries ago).

Vero/hSLAM cells. These are cells derived from the African Green monkey. They contain some human genes and are designed for experiments with measles virus. But the authors of this article infected this line with the Australian version of covid and ivermectin showed activity against the virus.
