I'll take it, what a piece of shit

It’s frankly astonishing any time the GOP does any sort of self-policing nowadays. They wouldn’t do it if it meant letting go of a single lever of power. They must have an even bigger piece of shit lined up for the job.

honestly, I'd be surprised if they do just because he was so OTT bad, my money is on a slightly smaller piece of shit

I think in a Republican supermajority hellscape like Texas they may be more likely to police their own because they have a lock on the the machinery of power and also know there’s no way Texans will elect a Demmycrat in his place.

"Supermajority Hellscape" = Cronenberg's first political thriller

this seems like it should be illegal

Twenty-four hours after appearing with Elon Musk to announce his campaign for president, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis just signed a bill into law that will shield Musk's SpaceX and other private space companies from negligence lawsuits after an explosion or a crash.

the increase in anal sex was due to the “hipsters be analin’”/white couch/trucker hat ilx thread

i can't recall. is anal sex why the hat in 'fuck washing a hat' needed washing?

Nope. This board contains multitudes (of hat jokes)

I'm not sure 1 in 8 cis het men had heard of pegging in 2001.

the word was only invented in June 2001 so this seems a safe bet

doesn't someone in some American Pie-esque movie get pegged or something? Before the prevalence of the internet we all learned a lot from sitcom iirc

not-Stifler gets unexpectedly prostate-fingered at a sperm donation clinic in Road Trip (2000), because he thinks asking for assistance will result in a handie or blowjob iirc?, and is revealed to now be into it in the closing credits montage

on june 7, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum is going to announce he's running for the GOP nomination for president of the united states!!!!!!!!

Make America North Dakota

Just when this thread was getting good

Burgmentum

I always thought it was called "pegging" because it seemed like the sort of sex act Peggy Hill would be into

If you knew Peggy Sue, then you'd know why I feel blue

And Buzzfeed is there with the history! https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/fancyfeast/what-is-pegging-pegtok-broad-city-pegging-episode

I waybacked the stranger to find out the month tbf

It's your favorite foreign movie

in 2001, fewer than 1 in 8 cishet guys were waybacking the stranger

waybacked

another strong contender, along with punted and bobbed

Wayback the Stranger-- deleted track from Pyromania

lol sic ya beat me to it

The person who proposed it to Dan Savage explained it thusly:

Boy prostitutes were sometimes called peg boys because they would sit on pegs to keep their assholes open between clients, so I suggest the word "peg." The woman would be the "pegger", the boy would be the "peggee," the act would be "pegging," and the boy would write in his personal ad: "I want to get pegged."

wait what thread is this??

US Politics, June 2023: Sit On Pegs To Keep Their Assholes Open

Pegasaurus Ron

i was gonna post (in honor of Savage) a political comment involving both pegging and santorum and couldnt bring myself to it

on june 7, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum is going to announce he's running for the GOP nomination for president of the united states!!!!!!!!

Instantly imagined a campaign T-shirt ripping off the Filosofem cover art, but I'm too lazy to bother creating it, especially since the guy's campaign is dead in the water no matter what.

If you can't beat 'em, Burgum

BURGUM / BUTTIGIEG 2024

Makin’ America Peg Again!

Boy prostitutes were sometimes called peg boys because they would sit on pegs to keep their assholes open between clients

This has to be a myth, right?

I saw Pegboy once... dudes from Nayked Raygun I believe.

the guitarist in my band got a pegboy cap at fest a few years ago and i love it when he wears it

This thread sure took a turn (sorry, a wayback)

It's your favorite foreign movie

Underrated post.

if we lived in a utopia the us politics thread would always be about pegging

I'm just a poor waybacking stranger

Have we talked about Michael Flynn's amazing new scam?

https://www.businessinsider.com/michael-flynn-launches-4thepure-online-website-covid-19-unvaccinated-people-2023-5

A very-fashy dating service/blood bank/sperm bank/breast milk bank for COVID-unvaccinated people only. What do you want to bet Flynn's donating his own sperm?

Watched a bit of the Texas AG impeachment presentation, this corrupt asshole who has been under indictment for close to a decade is so not going to get convicted.

I should note, not going to get impeached despite the recommendation of a bunch of Republicans.

oh shit, I guess it did happen after all! I have been watching, but then set the computer down for a while.

I was about to say, his supporters mouthed off but then they were absolutely crushed in the vote.

I was surprised by that vote too, I figured they'd impeach him but I assumed it would be a razor-thin margin
