Crunchy, like granola.

But I wouldn't exclusively associate the term with politically liberal leaning people, there's a widely documented crunchy to far-right pipeline. 'Natural living' and 'traditional living' are overlapping concepts for some people.

A lot of people who are into doomsday prepping and off-the-grid living are also crunchies, but often more traditionalist and conservative than politically liberal.

Outside of food, I've only ever heard bumper cars and jam band music described as crunchy.

Crunchy as a subculture might be derived from the use in jam band music, since they (crunchies) overlap a fair bit with modern hippies.

Epstein took over Robert Maxwell's intel operation.

Japan's political arena has completely moved to the right, and the constitutional amendment is almost certain, with only the last step of the referendum.

Trump is a monkey for what he did to the Obamas.

Just when people (including many MAGA) are starting to really focus on Epstein and Trump's connection to him, Turning Point USA arranges to have Kid Rock lip sync these lyrics from one of his songs:

Young ladies, young ladies
I like 'em underage, see
Some say that's statutory
But I say it's mandatory

WHAT THE ACTUAL f**k!?
How tone-deaf could they possibly be?!

They can't actually be embracing this issue, can they?

:pale:

^Yeesh....from what I've remembered, this was a sing from the soundtrack of Osmosis Jones.

Man, I used to like that movie as a kid.... :oops:

So, do you believe that 'jerky' was a codeword, or did the Epstein pedo ring just really like beef jerky?

I envy the control and the social engineering involved of the whole thing.

Along with the amount of influence it did on global modern cultural progression.
And that was it.


I envy that kind of power to steer the world into a certain way.
That kind of "freedom" to get away with crap.


Just why did it had to be that kind of guy? :roll: Ugh..!

Because that's the kind of person who actually follows through on fantasies of mass social manipulation. Reasonable people would eventually reach some sort of internal moral limitation. Monsters don't have those.

Newsom will be to Trump what Clinton was to Reagan.

I must be pretty dumb if I lean more towards the right than the left.
