   I want to know why they didn’t charge his mother with driving him across state lines with an illegal weapon. This is one fucked up man-baby.

     This entire thing is a shit show.

     Coming back from lunch, Kyle Rittenhouse's defense team argues that the prosecution is purposely aiming for a mistrial.

       Yup…

       Judge Schroeder’s phone rings in the middle of the Rittenhouse trial, and it just happens to be the theme song from the Trump rallies when he walks on stage. Go figure. pic.twitter.com/3LE44QwNkB

         Hardly satirical:

         Prosecutor: Kyle Rittenhouse is a cold-blooded murderer who intentionally shot—

         Judge: Strike that last comment from the record, and replace it with, ‘Kyle reminds me of myself when I was a youth.’

         Pros.: Objection, Your Honor! You can’t—

         Judge: I just did. pic.twitter.com/wfNTCP0qR1

       Judge Bruce Schroeder is a crackpot who's in way over his head with the #KenoshaKillerKidKyle trial. Particularly disturbing is his refusal to admit incriminating evidence. This story is the best I've read to date about Judge Schroeder and Rittenhouse.https://t.co/Y3VPX3omS9

   So sad to hear Dean Stockwell has passed. I remember him vividly as the little boy in Secret Garden.

   Sad also to hear Max Cleland has passed:

   Max Cleland, who lost both legs and an arm during the Vietnam War and who became a senator from Georgia, only to lose his seat after Republicans impugned his patriotism, died on Tuesday. He was 79. https://t.co/V9Vmzp7TkW

   India’s Third Sex

   In the Indian subcontinent, the term Hijra is used to refer to eunuchs, intersex people, asexual or transgender people. Hijras have been a recognized part of Indian culture since ancient times and are also known as Aravani, Aruvani, or Jogappa. In their community, they prefer to call themselves Kinnar or Kinner – like the mythological beings who are extremely talented at dancing and singing.

   India’s Supreme Court recognized transgender individuals as a third sex in April 2014. Hijras are often asked to come to special events like weddings and childbirths for blessings. It is believed by many Indians that the Hijras bring good fortune and that they keep evil spirits away.

     It’s people born male who have the latitude to become 3rd sex, low status though it may be. If there are female-born hijra, they’re very few and far between. Funny how that works. Almost as if patriarchies aren’t threatened by men escaping into other gender roles. Only by women escaping.

     Someone should request the bible be removed since it features rape, incest, murder, and all kinds of objectionable things.
