Christopher, are you speaking to us from the future? Can you send the DeLorean back so I can pick up my jetpack?

Oh! You just changed the date back to today! So no DeLorean for me? *sob*

Sorry -- apparently my laptop has lost its mind. Or maybe this laptop is from the future?

The DOJ is breathing down their necks for quite a few things right now.

lol. This explains why Mudede and Brissey are able to insert their posts between existing ones, making it appear they posted earlier than they did in our actual shared universe.

I don't quite get this whole combination of Hipster Urbard Journalism and promoting underage prostitution in the classifieds.

It seems like one of the refrains of the Agenda is that every middle class male over 30 is some kind of pedophile because they happen to turn their head seeing past some sorority girls walking alone the Ave while driving the kids to finger painting in the minivan.

And yet here are those same hypocrites making their money off it.

Fast forward to a year from now, where underage prostitution or human trafficking is alive and well.

All these white folk fretting over what is essentially a black cultural thang. According to NPR and Investigate West:

"…..the majority of child victims are African American females, at an average age of 14 or 15. The majority of pimps are also African American, some driven by gang involvement, others by greed or by a push to enter the family business. Traffickers tend to be involved with drugs, guns or other illicit activity. They sell sex with children online, in brothels, through strip clubs, lingerie shops and other venues."
