The problem is a drink riffing off of moscow makes you think of vodka, and vodka doesn't make for interesting drinks IMO. Maybe if moscow is switched up to something else and a more interesting liquor is used.

It’s gonna be a hoot to read the articles that spring forth when the NRA shuts down a chunk of their organization and their creditors figure out that they are missing half the assets they said they have. :allears:

If Vegas has odds on the video equipment used for NRA TV disappearing into the back of a cash-rented U-Haul van 3 days before it’s officially shuttered, I’d drop a hundred on the bet.

I won't believe the NRA is really in financial trouble until they start taxing gun makers for every mass shooting and those same companies go bankrupt. These are motherfuckers that make profit from each school shooting, political grifting and likely have Russian dark money funneled in on top of that.

Because drat near everyone has a kink or fetish of some kind, even the people who pretend that having sexual interests beyond missionary for the sake of conception is a sin.

And—shocker!—repressing it only tends to make their expressions weirder when they do finally manifest.

The only way that this would be possible is if they leveraged themselves and took on so much debt that they wouldn't be able to pay it off if they declared bankruptcy and it wouldn't be worth it to even go through the process.

So...a distinct possibility they tried to grift too hard. :lol:

Yeah, and like, pro football coach Rex Ryan, turned out he had a foot fetish when someone found amateur vids on his computer.

They were his wife's feet, and the video was shot by him.

Like, that's actually a little :3:, and Rex Ryan is still coaching, nobody cares as long as you aren't hurting anyone and everyone's cool with it.

Fetishes are often related to taboo and transgression. So the conservatives love cuck and gay stuff because those are Real Bad. The progressives love BDSM because outside the dungeon we're real leery of people having power over each other.

On the one hand what Cuomo did* was almost certainly a NY political machine abuse of power but on the other the NRA has used its own bought and paid government minions to do orders of magnitude worse so gently caress-em.





*he essentially had the state insurance regulator tell insurance companies to stop covering the NRA or face having their entire underwriting methodology torn apart in deep investigations for ~reasons~ which could threaten their business licenses if anything turned up.

I think it is a little more along the lines of "you don't get to the level of spewing hate and vitriol like that unless you hate yourself for your sex kinks and are projecting that hate outwardly".

It's worth noting that the NRA's chief messaging co-ordinator is Dana Loesch, who cut her teeth working for Glenn Beck, a man who once fleeced millions of dollars out of his followers with stunts like "My doctors say I will be blind within a year, please give me all of your so that I can see Ben Franklin's smiling face one last time before darkness takes me." Spoiler alert: it's been 8 years since the and Beck isn't remotely blind.

The NRA ceasing to exist is a wonderful dream, but I'll believe it when I see it. It's great for a laugh to watch them fake-cry in the meanwhile though.

Its pretty wild how 11 years ago when I found SA there was an intense hatred of Juggalos on the forums, and then in 2016 goons stood in solidarity with them when the FBI listed them as a criminal gang. Opinions change a lot in a decade, but I am glad all these groups are bonding over a hatred of fascism.

i think they probably are losing a ton of money though. mostly because they no longer care about appearing to be "moderate" and their willingness to say super awful poo poo doesn't help them any.

Yeah I think that's what translates it from having a kink to going on Fox and spewing santorum everywhere, I was more interpreting the question as "Why these particular 'interests''" rather than "Why are they raging"

A lot of right-wingers lump basically any display of non-traditional sexuality and identity (and often very traditional ones) into 'obscenity', hence why considering acknowledging the existence of gay and trans people to be inherently unsafe for children even before you get into the bigotry. It's basically the good ol' Madonna-whore complex, there is a box for Good Wholesome People and a much more cramped box for everything else. (not that the Madonna-whore complex and boxes are necessarily exclusive to them, mind)

You're supposed to keep all that dirty stuff quiet and pretend you don't do it! (which of course segues nicely into routinely covering for sex offenders while also accusing all queer people of being or covering for sex crimes)

I dunno. Churches have been doing it forever. You always have people who will forgo buying their medication to give their last 10 bucks to a millionaire pastor on tv. The B and C listers come and go, mostly because they think they're much smarter than they are, but the A listers are really really good at it.

I mean back in the day there wasn't an obvious subset of weirdos who were also hurting people because the closest Nazis got to being bold enough to come out in the open were some KKK rallies a couple times a year and they pretty much make fun of themselves. Now we've got the Nazis and Nazi-adjacents and people who are kind of strange but aren't hurting anyone are refreshing potential allies.
