Actually, I think Jenna (and Jeff Childers who is on the “Trump punked the Dems again “ side) have figured it out. If you really think about it, no other explanation makes sense.

I think we all do. After listening to the 2021 RFK podcast with Whitney Web, I’m feeling a little overwhelmed. I have always found if you want REAL information, on a subject, go back a few years before they’re trying to convince you to buy their agenda. I remember reading about the mRNA vaccines in science journals way before Covid and no one recommended its use.

I ALWAYS say “you guys”. I’ve referred to friends and foes that way since I was six years old. I never saw a masculine bent to using it and neither did anyone else I grew up with. We all said it. That’s an old habit I will never break. Ima guy, yurra guy, he’s a guy, she’s a guy, … c’mon you guys we’re all guys.

I never gave it a second thought either until someone commented HERE of all places that it was sexist… I guess if you go around looking for reasons to be offended, you will always find a few…

It's the original "they/them pronoun.

"You guys / Us guys"

I will never stop using it.

Quite a few years ago,I volunteered in a convalescent hospital, to give friendship to shut ins without families or visitors (Through LITA,before you had to get shots to go inside the dreadful rooms)

Anyway,I was constantly saying “you guys wanna do this? You guys wanna do that?”. Most of the inmates were very old women,and,I ,also,never gave it a second thought. Imagine my surprise when Two wheelchair bound ladies cornered me,angry,saying “ We are NOT guys!”.. I apologized,saying it’s just something general,not personal. But,I was more careful with my words,around that place…..However,I continue to say “you guys “ to any groups I’m might be speaking to,these days,and,surprisingly,have not had any blowback…🤷🏻‍♀️

I think it’s a silly thing for someone to take offense with…

🙄 Dear whomever made a stink out of J’s innocent non-binary* use of the title “guys” … Here are some GUYS exercises to work out the kinks in your dormant brain:

“Go pound sand.”

“Take a long walk off a short pier.”“Take a hike.”

“Go (whatever it takes to set yourself free) yourself!”

You’re welcome.

*Pardon any misuse of the word binary, a word that only recently became trendy in the context of the whole gender insanity …

M Bagwell's avatar

“Y’all” is a better option than “you guys.” It cannot be identified as referring to either of the two actual scientifically recognized genders. It can be used in a singular or plural sense. And it has a certain laid-back Southern charm to it, similar to “bless their heart.”

I guess I’m old school because I’m not fond of “you guys” when I’m spoken to by service people or or sales people. It feels disrespectful to as an older woman. I’ve always felt this way, particularly as I get even older. In a large group it’s ok but when I’m just with one other woman, it feels cringy.

I always defer to the cat laser theory. I too believe Musk/Trump was theater from the get-go. It was just too perfect of a setup. Including the America Party.

Totally agree that the breakup is all staged. Elon desperately wants to makeover his image to be seen as centrist again rather than MAGA so he can sell Tesla's to all.

Not sure though if the Epstein thing was part of that plan or just came up opportunistically. But same difference.

Vee's avatar

Happy Friday y'all! So... Trump 4D chess again? It would be nice if this were true, but I think it is exceedingly unlikely given what we know about Trump's previous relationship with Epstein and how he basically just treated the entire US population and the rest of the public like toddlers.

The more likely explanation is that the Epstein issue is just a small peek into how this government and many western governments around the world are controlled by blackmail operations led by the intelligence agencies that have their fingerprints all over other operations that make this world a darker place. 9/11, school shootings, warp speed, covid, the ongoing wars and threats of terrorism, and the never ending psychological operations that keep us all distracted, divided, and living confused and in fear.

Hopefully I'm wrong though. Have a great weekend everyone! 😁

Well, it doesn't make sense, because Trump had always been vocally in favor of releasing the list. If he were on the list, he would know that, having been privy to the fact that he was there by virtue of his own lived experience.

Why would he set up his own downfall?

Expand full comment
Doug's avatar

If Trump was on the list, that would have saved the Dems a lot of time and effort trying to assassinate him physically and reputationally during his 2024 campaign. They could have just culled the damning pages out of the Epstein archive and leaked them to the NYT for an "explosive expose" - it would have killed his chances of re-election.

You're right, it doesn't make any sense unless he's a puppet (which he is) and/or he's being blackmailed (which he probably is). When you're being blackmailed, nothing is off the table.

Which is why the left saying 'oh he is not releasing the list because he is on it' is PROOF that they come from a place of ZERO critical thinking. With 4 years of power and throwing everything at the wall in hopes of something sticking ya think if there was something there 'there' they would not have rolled that out already!?

I had the same thought actually but then I countered (with myself) that Trump could just release the file there’s nobody he hast to get approval from. And there’s so much! Two trials, the evidence from the island and his other residence, witness testimony, client list, “the files“, video footage…. Prince Andrew, the Clintons…. There is so much.

Getting everyone on board to shop for it would be brilliant! I see a lot of people saying I’m tired of hearing about it starts to feel like(the lack of) storm, relief, and other disasters. We’re getting numb.

I just proposed this exact scenario to my husband last night, after watching the Left demand the list. And as a bonus, now Elon might get back his popularity and money from the Left, as they quit bombing Tesla dealerships, buy Teslas, and Tesla stock, which I floated as a theory last week on my own stack.

“Step 3: Watch in real time as the entire Democratic establishment—who previously treated Epstein’s client list like it was Hunter Biden’s Laptop’s ugly step-calculator—suddenly transform into transparency zealots with the urgency of a TMZ reporter spotting Taylor Swift at a Buc-ee’s. “

You always have a good sense about things and this theory I can once again agree with you. I also think that something else I read was that if the President were to haphazardly release lots of info on people who, just because they were seen with or associated at gala's with Epstein would hurt too many otherwise innocent bystanders. And he could be impeached or something more drastic. But if he gets the Congress Demon Rats to call for it. He can just say it was their doing, he tried to do it the correct way in behind the scenes individually checking their stories and history without the media fanfare.

I’ve read countless articles from high level experts, with their take on the Epstein Saga. I like your take the BEST. Trump and Netanyahu pulled off a similar con on Iran. It would be glorious if Trump Bunker Busted the Democrats and Deep State. Exposing their yen for Pedophilia, Blackmail and Deception.
