(0601) Morning all, just up now. Sunny so far. Warning, reader … there is some rough copy below. (0707)
5. Most women pundits I’ve seen so far are appalled
… like Michelle here:
What concerns me most in these things … and please do judge me on my record at NO/UHC since the pizza post, is an old cartoon meme from many decades ago on the Linda Lovelace porn film in theatres, which had an older couple, respectably dressed, outside the theatre being interviewed. The caption went something like: “It was nothing but filth, presented for no more than prurient titillation, it was gross … we loved it.”
This is the Mary Whitehouse argument … to go on about how bad something is … usually it means having wallowed in it first with a tut-tut expression on the face and outrage in the heart. If Michelle D is being honest above, then well done that girl.
Then there is the “cannot be unseen” factor … suddenly it’s dropped on you without warning … some of the “rightwing” online media, never the left Guardian or whatever, runs a brief clip in ad space of BB going into the room, then a snap of her on hands and knees, a la Cackler Harris, and that’s it … the rest is up to the disapproving prurient.

3. Warning, readers, that this one’s nasty
It’s old, revisited, the usual claim with no further direct evidence except from the multitude of sources westwide since about this type of thing … and who’s going to miss one latina child, thinks Them.

“Professor Joan Donovan is frequently wheeled out by the New York Times as an ‘expert’ on misinformation across a whole range of fields. Paul Thacker at the Disinformation Chronicle exposes her as a shoddy Left-wing activist with a fancy title. Here’s an excerpt.
A funny thing happened when the New York Times reported a month back that Elon Musk’s exit from DC politics had been facilitated by a group of activists targeting his electric car company after he abandoned Democrats, helped fund Trump’s election and then ran DOGE.”
