What was the ultimate fate of groverhaus? Does it still stand? Did he manage to sell it? Was it rightfully condemned as unsuitable for human habitation and torn down at his expense? Could the man possibly still live there?

It seems like that boondoggle ought to have cost him tens of thousands of dollars and I am deeply curious how the trajectory of his life was affected by that kind of mismanagement of resources

When people told me they hated Hillary Clinton or (far worse) that they were "not fans," I wish I had said in no uncertain terms: "I love Hillary Clinton. I am in awe of her. I am set free by her. She will be the finest world leader our galaxy has ever seen."
...
If only one reporter - they knew about us - could have published a headline like "Clinton Inspires Historic Levels of Adoration From Her Supporters" about the people who have had their lives transformed by the power of her brilliant campaign, unrivaled effectiveness, and extraordinary career. 
...
She deserves straight-up hagiographies and a sold-out Broadway show called RODHAM. Yes, this cultural canonization is going to come after the chronic, constant, nonstop "On the other hand" sexist hedging around her legacy. But such is the courage of Hillary Clinton and her supporters; we reverse patriarchal orders. Maybe she is more than a president. Maybe she is an idea, a world-historical heroine, light itself. The presidency is too small for her. She belongs to a much more elite class of Americans, the more-than-presidents. Neil Armstrong, Martin Luther King Jr., Alexander loving Hamilton.

Hillary Clinton did everything right in this campaign, and she won more votes than her opponent did. She won. She cannot be faulted, criticized, or analyzed for even one more second. Instead, she will be decorated as an epochal heroine far too extraordinary to be contained by the mere White House. Let that revolting president-elect be Millard Fillmore or Herbert Hoover or whatever. Hillary is Athena.

The days and weeks immediately following 9/11 were weird enough over here in Germany, I can’t imagine how they must have been in the US. I’m imagining flags and awkwardly shoehorned-in patriotism (and xenophobia) everywhere, am I right?

even as a 12 year old in Nebraska I found it deeply unsettling, though I had a hard time articulating why. that vague sense of revulsion towards the insane nationalism was one of the things that pushed me along to left radicalism, in the long term

hillary going on tv the day after the election like



"please help me, the illuminati have denied me further youth injections, I don't have much time left"

as terrible as Trump is and has been for the world over the past couple of years, it is a consolation prize to think about her venal, sociopathic ego being shattered into teeny, tiny bits. just imagine being a fly on her wall on election night.

Also he is gay

not sure if you posted this jokingly or not, but I presently live in Tuebingen, a German university town where he lived for some time as a theologian. an older gay man I know here told me that a few decades back he was regularly seen at this one park that was known as a cottaging site. he was apparently quite the femme power-bottom, if what I am told is correct.

this is not to shame being a femme powerbottom, but it would mean he is yet another high profile anti-gay conservative leading a double life

What happened to Roosh anyway?

I didn't recognize this at Roosh and some strange vestigial instinct towards optimism had me interpret this as some kind of funny ironic hyperperformance of masculinity that some guy was doing

It seemed like it was shaping up to maybe be a pretty good bit until I realized the punchline was just that that guy was just an rear end in a top hat who thought he was impressing anyone, which is maybe is funny in some cosmic sense but it didn't make me laugh

just lmao at thinking that you can't get away with a grift in the field of medicine

not for something as concrete as blood testing. if it can be reliably, empirically tested and has life or death consequences, that's pretty bad territory for a grift. clever medical grifters work on the margins in matters where there is no reliable test, treatment, or even a method of quantifying the problem, i.e. neurofeedback interventions sold to parents of children with autistic spectrum disorder, or treatments directed at diagnoses of exclusion like fibromyalgia

no one has ever confirmed it, but I 100% believe that the real reason she didn't give one is because once it was clear she lost, she got piss rear end drunk and they all had to wait for her to sober up enough the next day

This is not mutually exclusive but I assumed she had an angry blowout that couldn't be contained long enough to be sufficiently composed for a speech

I assume it least 1 rooms worth of stuff was trashed, Citizen Kane style
