A meta analysis found a doubled risk of autism with paternal age > 50, which De Niro was when his son was born. I’d love to have a conversation with him about *that*

The conversation, as it stands right now, is that CHILDREN ARE FUCKING DYING OF EASILY PREVENTABLE DISEASES AND VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM YOU FUCKING IGNORANT FLAMING COCKGERBIL

Yeah, I love how people keep saying “we need to have the discussion” as if to imply there’s been silence and suppression of ideas up to this point. No! The discussion has been had. It was determined to be total bullshit. Move on!

In that case, here are some other conversations that we should have:

I am only providing the opportunity for a conversation around the issue.

I agree. Except vaccines are not a cause of autism.

Eh, no argument about the colonialism. Not even going to touch how ill-advised the restaurant theme is.

You’re headquartered in New York, where there is a French colonial themed restaurant named Le Colonial. It’s been there for years. Never a word.

lol, your tin foil hat is showing

Michelle looks stunning. I love her hair loose with that neckline.

But you know what? If you live in a house where the guns are behind locks and keys, they aren’t put together, and never fucking left loaded except in immediate use, especially next to a child, you probably won’t get killed.

“Got to play with my new toy today!”

“Got to play with my new toy today!”

Its perfectly sensible. Wearing Hi-Vis on a road march in peacetime is the smart thing to do. As it is when constructing a bridge in peacetime. You wouldn’t expect to see a building site worker without the proper PPE so why should a sapper do without? Are their lives worth less?

Don’t forget the mandatory eye, ear and feet protection.

Surprising until you remember that paying a relatively small amount to a non-American company won’t do anything to pad out the DoD budgets or stuff pork in a congressman’s pet company. Then it makes sense. Now if we could spend $128million per unit for a machine designed in North Dakota, tested in Florida, pre…
