  • Hey friends,

    Take it from an ally - this is a misleading headline.

    The utterance was uttered in the context of things one would want to avoid. It doesn’t even strike me as a threat by Brian Kilmeade, and is more of a gaffe.

    The whole clip is STILL a steamy shitty take.

    They are saying “mental illness sufferers, particularly the subset who are inclined to commit public violence, need to ‘come to Jesus’ and take the overly-bountiful government assistance available to them. That silver bullet will cure them of their issues such that they’ll no longer threaten poor old me. And if any refuse, they deserve whatever else might happen to them which, as stated earlier, is to be involuntarily placed into a mental institution.”

    And then Brian Kilmeade, the homunculus muppet that he is, thinks “I’m helping,” grabs the bag of Shake’n Bake his parents never gave him, and chimes in "and other bad things could happen, uhh hyuck, even inVoLuntaRy letHaL injEcTion (as a consequence of the implied context of a person who refuses help for their mental illness, who later takes a life during a mental episode, and who will suffer ramifications up to and including being tried for murder and sentenced to death).

    Maybe it would have been a dog whistle call to violence if anyone other than Brian Kilmeade said it.

    Maybe it’s foolish of me to disregard the words because the words were still aired, on a network with a vested interest in launching wind-up murder meatbots towards the left. If this is the point of the report, then this is a criminal choice of headline.

    +1 Sudden Urge!

    I slept on most of the post-Endgame catalogue except for maybe 5 songs, and this was not one of them. I eased up on the skip button one day in the car recently and got to hear it again, for what felt like the first time. It gave me chills.

    My read on it was that onstage he’d ogle underage girls/attendees, really flexing the rockstar swagger or whatever. He’d somehow relay to them an invitation to meet him after the show, and he’d bring them onto the tour bus where he’d pressure or trap them into having sex.

    A silver lining is, as I read it, the rest of the band immediately disavowed him. Some fans/ commenters alleged the other band members had to have been aware he was doing this, particularly citing the close quarters of the tour bus. Yet, the band holds its stance that they really did not know.





  • Some women would be harmed by their husbands if discovered voting blue. I think those women feel a ringing in their souls when they watch that ad. Neut is grasping for any spin at all “ghwuaaahhh dishonesty!”. If he was aware of the women who’d wear their husbands’ reactions on their faces, he’d never admit it. But I guarantee the mere concept of sparking spousal abuse hasn’t even occurred to him, that he’s not seeing past the “dishonesty” part.

    It’s like waving salami in your derpy blind dog’s face but he bites air 90 degrees in the wrong direction. Shit you’d think his smeller’s busted too. How the fuck he manages to use the bathroom without tracking his own shit through the house is a fukkn X-file.
