Bettman you ignorant slut

It is April 2026. One of the nation's top doctors is openly saying the president is showing signs of dementia. Because the president is a Republican, the press continues to shrug and move on. Under two years ago, that same press got together to end Joe Biden's presidency because he had a stutter and a cold during a debate, despite the fact that 1) Biden's lifelong stutter is well-documented 2) he was able to perform several public events in the weeks after and was fine 3) he's still fine 2 years later and wouldn't be able to make speeches in 2026 if he had been dying of dementia in 2024.

The press never provided any proof of their accusations, and no, Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson's tell-all book didn't actually tell anything:

But it didn't matter that the book didn't provide any evidence that Biden had dementia, because the narrative had been set--actually all the way back during the 2020 campaign, first by Fox News, and like a lot of right-wing narratives, it gradually took hold and became the mainstream narrative. I said it before and I'm saying it again: if the media had actually been concerned about the president having dementia, instead of them knowing that they were full of shit and deliberately pushing Biden out of the White House to enable Trump, they would be having wall-to-wall, nonstop coverage about Trump's decline. They're not doing that because they like Trump and will never admit to what they did, in a similar way to how they've never owned up to the role they played in downplaying Trump in 2016 and focusing on "HeR EmAAAAAAiiiiiLLLLLsssss" instead.

me: "so you think men are better at literally everything, even things that do not require any physical ability whatsoever?"

terf: "yes! those should still be segregated by sex! males should not be playing against women ever. it's an unfair advantage"

me: "so my brother has an unfair advantage over me when playing fucking monopoly?"

terf: "yes. males are statistically better and managing finances, while women are irresponsible and lenient with spending money."

anyway i wanted a memento of my first pride, you know, and this one vendor was selling keyrings, and i liked it, so i bought one. do you remember those italian charm bracelets that were all the rage like 10-15 years ago? it was a keychain like that, and it had a rainbow rooster, a rainbow cat, and then just a rainbow, and so I bought it.

i run into my mom a couple of vendors over and she goes oh you bought something? what’d you get? so i showed her, and i was like, “I’m not sure why it’s a rooster and a cat. Seems kind of random. But I liked the rainbows.”

and my mom, who was some form of minister’s wife for most of my childhood and teenagerhood, stares at me like she thinks i’m joking.

“What?” i say.
