Kind of rapey
This is a short-written article that shows how tRump’s sexual assault of Stormy was not consensual. She was abused and abused, just as most of tRump’s victims are. This was not just hush money for election in that it was husmaony to show how this was a payment to advoid showing that this was a rape. This was to prevent a much worse sexual abuse criminal charge. She was a sexual abuse victim. Hugs. Scottie.
On a scale of zero to ten, with zero being definitely consensual, and ten being definitely not consensual, this is like a six or a seven. Call me old-fashioned, but I consider kind of rapey to be disqualifying all by itself for a presidential candidate, although I realize of course that it’s practically certain Trump has gotten to ten many many times (a jury has already found as much in one case, and there are no doubt countless more), and also realize this is just one of literally dozens of reasons why Trump is utterly unfit to be president.

Midday Palate Cleanser … Elephants are better people
Hi. Grand post, great videos, I love them. Ten Bears and I have already talked about this here. But MPS posted far more than I did on it. How anyone can watch the elephants and not see thinking, loving, communicating, caring, grand beings in what we humans call a herd. Oh how I wonder how they refer to most of us. On one side note. When I posted this, I referred to the man who moved under one of the larger elephants. This is why it is important to read comments on sites, this person seen something I missed. I marveled that the man who is a fragile creature was so comfortable being that surrounded by these huge beings. The comment put a new view of what was happening. Again it is so loving. Hugs. Scottie

She walked up and waved “here I am!” and he ducked right under her chin.
They’ve done this before. Pretty cool.
Krystal Destroys Saagar In INTENSE Debate Over Palestine Protests
Aida Shakarami: Iran morality police arrests dead protester’s sister, mother says
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68849736
Roger and I were talking about the fundamentalist trying desperately to change the US into a theocracy like in Iran or Saudi Arabia. The way they are demanding their interpretation of a book written over time 2,500 years ago. They don’t care that the majority wants a democracy and that a large portion of the public including other Christians don’t support their view of what god wants. They don’t want rights for women, they don’t want rights for the LGBTQ+, they do not want to accept anything that shows the weaknesses of their holy book including medical science. The article below Roger sent me. This is what the fundamentlist Christians want to create in the US. Hugs. Scottie
By David Gritten,BBC News Social mediaAida Shakarami (R) is the sister of Nika Shakarami (L), who became a symbol of the “Woman, Life, Freedom” protests The elder sister of Nika Shakarami, a 16-year-old girl who was killed during the 2022 anti-government protests in Iran, has been arrested for allegedly not covering her hair, her family says.
Aida Shakarami, 22, was accused of “not adhering to compulsory hijab” by morality police in Tehran on Wednesday, her mother Nasrin wrote on Instagram.
“She remains in custody,” she added.
The police have not commented, but it comes after they launched a crackdown on breaches of the Islamic dress code.
Tehran’s police chief said on Saturday the new initiative would “confront social taboo-breaking over hijab and chastity and those who seek to expressly contravene hijab rules” – a reference to the many women and girls who have defiantly stopped covering their hair in public.
In another development on Thursday, video posted on social media appeared to show a young Iranian woman having a seizure after she was confronted by morality police in Tehran.
An eyewitness told BBC Persian that officers violently confiscated the woman’s mobile phone and purse because she was not wearing a headscarf.
Nika Shakarami became a symbol of the “Woman, Life, Freedom” protest movement that shook the Islamic Republic two years ago.
The protests erupted in response to the death in custody on 16 September 2022 of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman who had been detained by morality police in the capital for allegedly wearing her hijab “improperly”.
Authorities denied that Mahsa Amini was mistreated, but the UN’s Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on Iran said in a report last month that she “was subjected to physical violence that led to her death”.
On 20 September 2022, Nika was filmed at a protest in Tehran setting fire to her headscarf, while other protesters chanted “death to the dictator” – a reference to the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
She disappeared that evening after telling a friend that she was being chased by police. Her family eventually found her body at a mortuary 10 days later.
They alleged that she died from blows to the head and rejected claims from officials that she had killed herself.
Nika Shakarami disappeared after she was filmed burning a headscarf at a protest in Tehran on 20 September 2022 Authorities portrayed the protests as foreign-backed “riots” and tried to suppress them with force.
They have not released an official death toll, but the UN’s fact-finding mission said credible figures suggested that as many as 551 protesters were killed by security forces, most of them by gunfire. The government says 75 security personnel were killed.
More than 20,000 other protesters were reportedly detained, including many journalists and celebrities.
Nine young men have been executed in connection with the protests following what UN investigators found were summary proceedings that relied on confessions extracted under torture and ill-treatment. Dozens more have reportedly been sentenced to death or charged with capital offenses.
The protests have now largely subsided, but there is still widespread discontent at the clerical establishment and, in particular, the hijab laws.
In September, Iran’s parliament passed a controversial “Hijab and Chastity” bill that would impose severe punishments on women and girls for violations of the dress code, including up to 10 years in prison and flogging. It must still be approved by the Guardian Council before it becomes law.
The UN’s fact-finding mission said the “violent repression of peaceful protests and pervasive institutional discrimination against women and girls” had led to serious human rights violations that amounted to crimes against humanity.
What The Fuck is Going on with the News Media?
New Trump Ad Praises Campus Counterprotesters
Seriously people are proud of acting this way? Really? If a child acted like this the parents would discipline or correct them, yet adults think college kids and tRump supporters think the thuggish racist behavior is great. tRump loves it. It is his style. Berate, ridicule, insult, demean others is what tRump thinks is intellectual reasoning and discussion. What has this country devolved into? I thought we grew out of this childish shit a long time ago. Hugs. Scottie
Here’s a reminder about the scene at Ole Miss:
There were hundreds of counter-protesters, in contrast to the few dozen pro-Palestine protesters. The scene evoked memories of the resistance to the civil rights struggle in the US south six decades earlier.
The counter-protesters included individuals waving American flags and Trump flags. At one point, they sang the American national anthem, drowning out the pro-Palestine group’s chants.
There were no arrests, but the actions of the counter-protesters – who shouted “Fuck Joe Biden”, “Who’s your daddy?”, “USA”, “Hit the showers”, “Your nose is huge”, and included a white man making monkey noises at a Black woman – have been widely condemned on social media.

Is It ANTISEMITISM To Criticize Israel?
UCLA’s Finest Faces Down The Pig Army
You want to know the truth of the media bias and what is the true violence at these don’t do a genocide protests. Watch the entirety of this video. It is delivered in a nonsense style and the only loud parts are the violent police shooting round after round of tear gas, flash bangs, and rubber bullets which can be lethal at the students. The videos shown show how violent and gleeful the police thugs were to use their weapons of force. This was one of the best breakdowns of the campus police raids I have seen. The first 5 minutes might not grab you, but please watch past it. Get to the meat of the video. It will change your minds on a lot of the media coverage. Vaush spends a lot of time quietly going over the ridicules things the report has to say like look they have chairs, why would you have metal chairs at a protest if not to harm others … maybe in a day’s long protest people might want to sit down? The reporter asks about how did the things the protesters have get there because they won’t fit in their pockets? Really, a large group of people planing a large scale protest wouldn’t know how to arrange to bring in stuff together to make it easier for them? How corporate media do these reports now have to be these days? Please watch the video if not in full, if not at least half way to understand the disinformation being spread by the media. Hugs.
