Here's the photo:



I'm the one in the red shirt with his hand on R2D2's shoulder. Jeremy Bulloch (who played Boba Fett in the original) is the confused-looking fellow who resembles Joe Biden.

This was at WPIX, from a publicity tour which accompanied the release of The Force Awakens.

This strengthened my position as the "cool uncle" considerably.

So, let's follow up on that a bit.

Going back to where you said "she's black so they can't call her racist", after which I enquired: "did you somehow miss the California gubernatorial recall election which happened this week?"

This is an open-ended question. I'm inviting whatever commentary you wish to posit.

They are going to have a much harder time calling a woman singer who isn't a registered Republican a racist than a male politician. She also has considerably more reach with normies than someone like Candace Owens.

That's a reasonable answer.

So, circling back to where all this began: Is it your stated position that someone who is peripherally related to Niki Manaj had their ********* (or, more precisely, their observable *********, which includes the *******) darken in color, and also that this person became impotent, as the result of receiving a vaccination?

Dont know, don't care. That's not the interesting thing about this whole situation. The interesting thing is watching the powers that be play their games with her

Gotcha.


So, if I understand correctly, your game plan is:

1: Reference a celebrity saying something stupid.

2: Respond to followup questions by saying that #1 is totally irrelevant.



I'm curious: how does this work, from your point of view?

Like, are you a genuinely neutral observer who tripped over words, or do you have a strategy and mission which I'm unable to decipher?



Full disclosure:

I understand how arguments on the internet can go totally sideways fast. If I have mischaracterized your point of view, please say so.

I don't care what she said. It's probably bullshit but who knows maybe there's a rare ball swelling complication. I think the character Assassination aspect of this whole thing is interesting the media apparently going out of their way to be nasty. Doctors and the government who are in no way involved jumping up and down to say it didn't happen when they have absolutely zero proof of that and shouldn't be discussing something they have no knowledge of

From my point of view her ball tweet is irrelevant. It's the absolute viciousness of the media and the powers that be in response to this possible side effect. It doesn't matter what side effects get reported about these vaccines the media and the government will discredit and deperson anyone who dares to report them.

That's an interesting response, given how much weight you seemed to apply to her ramblings just a few hours ago.

I heard some of what she said last night. Most of what she said was to question the entire issue, and how when she asked a question the Twitter promptly put her in the dog house.

Minaj said she remembers being taken to church where they said there are places where you can't worship. Countries where you have to hide your bible. She said she's played gigs in China and they told her she couldn't say anything bad about the government, and she understood that because that's their country, their culture...

BUT HERE? Why is it happening here? And anyone who doesn't see it happening is just not paying attention.

It's not about giant, oversized ***** that don't work. It's about attacking freedom of speech. She done got red-pilled.

Anyone in power can break the law, and they never go to jail. If he did, I wonder if he'd hang himself...

Other than the unverified ball tweet everything she has said has been on the nose and intelligent. The fury against her is what I find so entertaining, she's rich enough to not care.

Ok, this explains a lot. I didn't realize that we were enraged against her.

Honestly, my knowledge of Niki Minaj is pretty limited. I mostly know that she endorses a brand of sparkling moscato, which is a type wine so hilariously improbable that its purported existence, and it being served to Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy, was pretty much the entire gag of Steve Martin's cameo appearance in The Muppet Movie (1979).

I will now step out of the way, and allow the fury to continue unimpeded.

Newsweek nails it once again. The fact no one went to Glowie Ball 2021 means Trump is over!!!!



I hope they do the right thing and not even bother reporting on Trump's rally in a few days. He's over.

Why would you even joke about this? The vaccinated need protecting!!!!



I think this should be a hate crime. Being unvaccinated should be a crime.
