I really can't be bothered thinking about this when there is so much Meghan and Harry news and palace intrigue. Also, have you seen Kate's latest hat and outfit?

IK,R? And their neighbours in the Cotswolds don't want that un-royal riff-raff mucking up their villages.

Scratch a little deeper under the surface and you'll likely find Russian money and influence because it is a great way to destabilize. Of course, it doesn't take the Russians, or much influence, to show that people are racist assholes.

Sikh truck driver stabbed 17 times in unprovoked Wyoming attack raises fears of assaults against South Asians, officials say

"A Sikh truck driver was stabbed more than a dozen times in an unprovoked attack by a man at a Wyoming rest stop, according to local officials, raising an alarm among Asian American advocates who are warning about inflammatory rhetoric against South Asian truckers.

"... Some advocates have cited recent social media posts by the Department of Homeland Security, including one with an AI-generated graphic of a South Asian man and a tagline saying 'Get off our roads, you don’t know how to drive Mr. Singh' as fueling such attacks. DHS later deleted the post." -- https://www.cnn.com/2026/09/18/us/wyoming-sikh-truck-driver-stabbing

Note: The driver's name is Singh.

Right after 9/11 at least one (and maybe two) Sikh men were attacked and killed here in the Phoenix area by these hateful, numfucks (most people don't know the "b" is silent).

Cincinnatus's avatar

Most Sikhs use the name Singh.

https://www.wearesikhs.org/6_why_do_so_many_sikhs_have_the_last_name_singh_or_kaur

NYT: "Just days before the stabbing, the Department of Homeland Security posted an image on social media of a bearded man in a head covering with the caption “Get off our roads, you don’t know how to drive Mr. Singh,” the most common Sikh surname.

DHS said the post depicted Harjinder Singh, a Sikh man (no relation to Gurvinder Singh) accused of causing a fatal collision last year that left three people in a minivan dead in Florida. The agency removed the post the next day but dismissed complaints about it as “nonsensical drivel.”

About 200,000 foreign drivers hold licenses that allow them to operate commercial vehicles, and about half of them are Sikhs."

“Get off our roads, you don’t know how to drive Mr. Singh.”

Punctuation is your friend, not your enemy.

Our_Man_In_Redneckistan's avatar

That’s so idiotic it could be a Kiss lyric.

Snarfyguy's avatar

"The agency . . . dismissed complaints about it as 'nonsensical drivel.'"

I always do that when I totally fuck up.

Fifth Dentist's avatar

So if a white dude named Smith kills some people in his big rig it's open season on every dude named Smith who drives a semi truck?

Seems like that's their logic.

Baconzgood's avatar

Babonz can't even respond to that. It's like being shot if one wore a Cleveland Browns hat. It's so fucking arbitrary.

"I love Jesus and his message of love and acceptance. " So he stabbed the guy?

Bitter Scribe's avatar

That article is paywalled, so I can't find out right away...

A U.S. government agency posted, on an official website, a fake video explicitly telling a particular religious/ethnic group "get off our roads" for no reason at all other than sheer unmitigated racism? And this is OK?? HOW???

Hamilton & The Crew TEAM ALGAE's avatar

I remember back after 9/11 when a Sikh was brutally murdered here in Phoenix. I mean, they don't even dress like Al Quiada. (Fuck the spelling.)

Fifth Dentist's avatar

Several others were attacked and beaten. (Think that happened to some Chinese folk during COVID as well).

'Murcans are too lazy to learn who they actually want to kill. Or, maybe they don't really care as long as the person being killed is brown or black.

Hamilton & The Crew TEAM ALGAE's avatar

By and large it seems like too many Americans are too ignorant and also too DGAF.

JanuaryClaire's avatar

Both. OldManClaire was still a consultant in those days, and he started having to go to the airport an extra hour early to go through security. Because brown man going on a plane!11!!1!

Sometimes, I am so fucking shameful for being an American.

I lied: It's not just sometimes anymore.

Our_Man_In_Redneckistan's avatar

Weird how that doesn’t apply to Rastas, who tend to carry a nasty knife.

Fifth Dentist's avatar

Of course they carry knives. How else are they going to gut the cats and dogs before they eat them?

I know, Haitians, Jamaicans. Like MAGAts know the difference anyway.

Hamilton & The Crew TEAM ALGAE's avatar

Don't some of them carry a combat doobie?

Tia Loca's avatar

I remember him.

Did he own a bodega?

Local ABC here just did

a story about him.

Our_Man_In_Redneckistan's avatar

Lots of that in NYC as well.

zuludaddy (seamonkey!)'s avatar

(Singh is the single most common surname amongst the Sikhs - it translates to 'lion' but suspect bears greater meaning in the culture)

Fifth Dentist's avatar

Where I live nearly every convenience store worker/store owner I've ever encountered is named Patel.

But it would be bad taste to write: "Get out of my Quik Mart, Mr. Patel."

zuludaddy (seamonkey!)'s avatar

(the Patels are very, very well represented in the hotel/motel industry, also and too)

ciaobella's avatar

Not to nitpick, but SEA RESCUE (is not a) CRIME not a great protest sign design.

Bitter Scribe's avatar

It's better than "Down With This Sort of Thing," which is an actual sign at an actual British protest I once saw a picture of. (Don't ask me which protest. That's kind of the joke.)

Also, as I said downthread, it has to do with shitheads like Nigel Farage calling rescues of migrants' boats in distress in the Channel "human trafficking."

JanuaryClaire's avatar

At first glance, I read it at SEARES CUE and wondered if Searescue was a place.

ciaobella's avatar

Well, there's that, too. You could probably do an entire design lecture how "how to improve the intended message of this sign"

Hamilton & The Crew TEAM ALGAE's avatar

Isn't that the capital of NY or something?

Our_Man_In_Redneckistan's avatar

Nah, it’s the third biggest city in the Western Tier, along the Erie Canal.

Hamilton & The Crew TEAM ALGAE's avatar

I'd like to rename the Erie Canal "Lake Canada."

Hamilton & The Crew TEAM ALGAE's avatar

Not to mention that the seas themselves are going to need rescue soon.

zuludaddy (seamonkey!)'s avatar

already, though

nao nao nao :/

zuludaddy (seamonkey!)'s avatar

it is a very poor sign, graphic design-wise

Transcript: Trump’s Pollster Drops Bomb on GOP as Midterm Panic Erupts

As GOP leaks about the elections grow more urgent, a top Democratic strategist explains what the numbers really say about the Trump-GOP collapse—and ponders what could still go wrong.

OT: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have learned to troll the fucking trolls, y'all and feel mighty and powerful. XD XD XD XD XD

Trolls coming out of the woodwoork in a thread on the FB page of the political blog of the "liberal" NoCal uni town I previously lived in.

One said something like, "End trans." And I responded, "Please tell us how you would end an entire group of people." And he popped off with some shit [said they should be put to work in the coal mines] and I trolled him with the dancing guy from Deliverance .gif.

He responded that Democrats started the KKK and were the Confederates, so I said, "So how is it then that the KKK vote for Republicans now?"

He LOST HIS SHIT, he and his bully boy in the thread. I just keep doubling down and saying, "Answer the question. If your knowledge and understanding of US history is so superior to mine, then it's easy to answer the question. Answer the question."

I just keep repeating it. I've now doubled down like 10 times (whatever that is called).

I've now been called a sea hag and a bitch.

I've been called "butch" and a "bull dyke" (which is hilarious b/c I'm a very feminine looking woman, which my FB photo clearly shows, and I'm kind of a looker. *shrug*).

I've been called stupid.

I've been told to go back into the kitchen and the founding fathers never intended for women to work or speak outside of the home. Or be allowed to vote.

I've been told I'm engaging in "whataboutism" or "straw man" (Which doesn't even make sense) and "bad faith" (which is rich coming from these fuckaloons).

I've been told a "little high school boy could bend you to his will. Women have forgotten their places." (So admitting their violent fantasies and misogyny in front of god and everyone).

I've been told "Define woman."

I keep just saying, "Answer the question" and these good ole boys are showing their entire asses for everyone to see, LMAO!

It's a beautiful thing.

Baconzgood's avatar

Don't feed them. They are like pigeons.

Eventually the argument goes to "look it up".

I trolled a troll and he said "Pythagoras and Newton knew nothing about geometry. Look it up"

I responded Lincoln made a famous quote during his 2nd Inaugural Address.

"The internet can't be trusted. The internet told me that." He stopped trolling me.

EyeQueue's avatar

They're sociopathic assholes. Most online trolls are likely to be male and tend to score higher on Dark Triad type traits. :/

But, yeah. I shouldn't be engaging, but I'm so tired of these people targeting the most vulnerable group in our country right now.

Chemical's avatar

The nice thing about being sane is recognizing that if the current year was 1862, we would probably be Republicans and talking about how we all voted for Lincoln. Parties change, and the Civil Rights movement shaped the two major parties today: The people who opposed the Civil Rights Act joined the Republican party, after Lyndon Johnson's "betrayal".

I'd go as far to call Lyndon Johnson the first modern Democrat.

EyeQueue's avatar

I mean, Eisenhower was even more "Democrat" than most of our modern-day corporate dems. :/

Chemical's avatar

Before Lyndon Johnson, the parties were considerably closer together in ideology. They started drifting over civil rights, like I mentioned, and there was further radicalization with Reagan and Newt Gingrich.

Gingrich was the one who started the "All Democrats are some kind of treasonous asshole" rhetoric. Even Reagan himself wasn't that much of a partisan, and Reagan fucking sucked.

EyeQueue's avatar

OMG, yes. Fuck him for that. Even suggesting Republicans not move their families to DC so as to not be friendly with Dems and their families.

Unforgiveable, IMO.

Skye Marthaler's avatar

Now that's some good hustle.

EyeQueue's avatar

The only thing I've seen like it is when I used to troll these fucks on Yahoo comments with the .gif of the weiner going limp.

That drove them crazy.

EyeQueue's avatar

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is. XD XD XD XD XD

EyeQueue's avatar

And now I quit responding for a few hours. And they have given me the remote control to their nervous systems.

I'm in their brains for that duration. LMMFAO!

I will. Let them sleep on it. XD XD XD XD

Now she’s got it. Make sure to only abuse that power against the right people.

100%. It's been used against me. :/ Not fun.

Baconzgood's avatar

Wanna hear a joke? Too late:

There is this swab on a ship first time. The Captian is showing this 1st time sailor around. He shows him the bridge, the galley, the head, the engine room etc.

The Captian takes the sailor to a wood barrel with a knot hole and says "I understand you are a young man. We will be at sea for months. You will have 'urges'. That is natural. So if you have 'urges' stick your "line" into the knot hole of this barrel and you will get a blow job. Any day but Thursdays".

"Why not Thursdays Captian?"

"Because that's your turn in the barrel"

(I know it's an old joke).

"Buying Power Equivalent: According to the Value of 2015 dollars today calculator, $100 in 2015 had the same buying power as about $141.33 today." Google.

Another few months of this and he won’t have to worry about that again.

EyeQueue's avatar

That's why we put in a big old garden and have dried beans stockpiled.

I'm prepared to eat grubs if I have to. And I know where to find them.

goCatgo's avatar

Pan-Frying: Heat a small amount of oil, butter, or animal fat in a pan over medium heat. Add the grubs and cook for 5 to 7 minutes (or a minute if high heat) until they turn golden-brown and crispy on the outside. Season with salt, pepper, spices, peppers or hot sauce.

Add the following to Donald Trump's list of crimes...felonious threats of a good time:

***

President Donald Trump pleaded with GOP senators Monday to eliminate a longstanding legislative rule, warning that if they refused, he would become “the last Republican president” ever elected to office.

“If Senate Republicans don’t TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER, the Dumocrats will, and I will be, despite how well our Party is doing, the last Republican President!” Trump warned, writing on his social media platform Truth Social, before going on to cite inaccurate Republican voter demographic data for Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C.

“The Dumocrats will vote in Puerto Rico (4% Republican Vote), and Washington, D.C. (3% Republican Vote), pick up 4 Senators, 8 Congressmen/women, tremendous numbers of Popular and Electoral College Votes and, importantly, control the Voting Mechanisms and Systems, both Legal and otherwise, throughout the United States.”

goCatgo's avatar

Well then he should go back to PR and throw some more paper towels at them. I bet DC uses paper towels too.

I don't see a problem here.....

Strongest argument I've heard to eliminate the filibuster

The Neolithic farmers should have not let anyone in. They made a nice rock thingy and that was plenty. It's been shite ever since Stonehenge.

Yep. Bluetooth does make everything better.

A1? It's HP sauce in England.....

It also works as an ink in your typical HP printer. But you have to buy the carts from HP or they lock you out.

No ICE agent has ever been harmed by an "illegal immigrant". How do I know this? Because government mouthpieces from the ground floor to TFG himself would be praising that brave patriot for putting his life in jeopardy to keep us all free, and hanging medals around his neck. And it'd be all over every media outlet.

If my trash guy worked like a Republican politician, he would knock over the garbage bins, spilling everything all over the street, then claim that he did a perfect job and someone else spilled the trash and anyway, what trash? He doesn't see any trash.

Our_Man_In_Redneckistan's avatar

So, my trash guys? The garbage juice stains on the pavement are really unsightly.

Bitter Scribe's avatar

My guys vary. Some of them are hacks, some are artists with that hoist-and-dump thingy. (They have to be. Two men on a truck is a quaint memory.)

But they've never just knocked shit over. The most annoying thing they do is leave the bin's lid open while it's raining.

I also try to be reasonable and break shit up to fit in the bins, instead of making the driver get out of the truck and pick it up. (If he even would.)

Our_Man_In_Redneckistan's avatar

This spring they left the neighbor’s can open and upside down, hence the stain.

You couldn't really have a Republican garbageman, because there aren't any billionaires that would pay anyone to not collect the garbage.

Luckily, our bins are just a little too large and heavy for them to tip over. Plus I think we have some feral cats around that may not play nice with them.

Fascism always needs an enemy, creating one if there is not an actual enemy.

That's the gospel according to Carl Schmitt, famous fascist jurist who unfortunately evaded the gallows on October 16, 1946.

Anarchy Pony's avatar

Fascism pretty explicitly exists to create a false enemy to deflect away the failures of their own ruling class.

Fascism also needs an enema because it's full of shit.

Quite a bit longer than that. Centuries, really.

Busing was a great wedge issue for them in the 1970s, and boy howdy, did they ever milk it.

Bitter Scribe's avatar

Are those UK fuckheads still doing that obnoxious thing where they call rescuing migrants who are attempting to flee by boat and are in distress in the English Channel "human trafficking"? That pustule Nigel Farage used to constantly be on about that.

Pretend it was obscure and clever.

Bitter Scribe's avatar

Nor can I. Hess didn't get lost. He landed (more or less) right where he wanted to.

He was lost in his own delusion that he could end the war singlehanded if he snuck into England, but that's not the same thing.

I know my WWII. That is the joke. The propaganda said he got lost or was a national traitor.
