1. I love it!! Nt

[wnylib]

79. I love the first tweet reply.

It's a pic of Jesus with the caption, "I never said that."

[3Hotdogs]

95. Yeah? Well I'll have you know, she's a child of God. And when Jesus and the Kraken gets ahold

of that cop ------

[robbob]

2. Rules that are "False AND not true"???

Well then, you’ve convinced me!

[iscooterliberally]

9. This has been a public service announcement from the department of redundancy department.

[LizBeth]

11. Right. She certainly didn't excel in arguing skills. Throughout that 40 sec.

[Shrike47]

62. The worstest kind!

[jaxexpat]

104. Not to be confused with the false that is true. That'd be Satan stuff.

Are yuh clear?

[panader0]

3. "Oh my gosh!"

[Tommymac]

15. Just Classic.

[Xavier Breath]

4. "Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh! OH MY GOSH!"

Potty mouth.

[Rorey]

5. I wish we could have seen more

Just because it was so funny.

"I did Not.... sign up for this."

I guess I missed that day when we were supposed to sign something. I didn't sign up for a whole lot of things.

[CTyankee]

6. What iis going on here? She's disgusting and I wonder why they didn't stop her sooner.

I wonder about the context.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

10. Here's an article.

https://www.kvue.com/article/news/local/lake-travis-school-board-candidate-given-assault-citation-after-mask-confrontation-at-store/269-18005d40-6142-490e-a30a-25c16c5494bb

AUSTIN, Texas — Lake Travis ISD School Board candidate Kara Bell was given an assault citation last week after a confrontation with a store employee at Nordstrom Rack located on Brodie Lane.

According to video and a police report obtained by KVUE from the Sunset Valley Police Department, Nordstrom Rack employees called police when Bell refused to put on a mask upon entry of the store.

According to the report and an employee in the video, Bell shoved an employee before forcing her way into a dressing room where she proceeded to call the Nordstrom Rack corporate office.

When police arrived at the store, the employee was standing outside and you can hear her in the video say, "She kept pushing and pushing so I put my arm out to block her from my entrance and then she shoved me!"

[Rorey]

17. Thank you!

I hope she doesn't get elected!

[SCantiGOP]

96. Elected to what?

She was running for school board, but now will probably run for Governor of Texas.

[Tommymac]

19. Thanks! Good stuff.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

20. School Board candidate? I hope she loses bigly.

She's perfect to be a member of a Home Owners' Association, or some other authoritarian refuge for busybodies.

[HUAJIAO]

58. Hey, don't knock HOA's.

I'm on the board of our HOA and there is nothing authoritarian about us at all...

And if ya don't like the way we run things, ya shoulda shown up at the annual meeting last week and run for the board. There were two openings....

[rdking647]

59. thats what i did

HOA president for 8 years. I alwasy said teh easiest way to rein in a board is to be on it.

that being said,one thing i required for my new house was no HOA

[OldBaldy1701E]

72. I live in a house that is under a HOA

It is the first time in my life that I have done so. It will be the last time as well.

[reACTIONary]

63. That's what I tried to do...

... my candidacy created a huge shit-storm on the neighborhood email list. I guess I'm not well liked in the hood. Oh well.

[RVN VET71]

85. Would an HOA accept a jailbird as a member?

[Lonestarblue]

25. If she lives in the Lake Travis ISD, she's most likely quite privileged.

Many million dollar homes there. The average household income for this zip code is nearly $170,000. The school district is majority white at around 60%, with Hispanics the next largest group. Not all wealthy people are Republicans because there is a progressive group in this area, but all wealthy idiots do seem to be Republican.

[Volaris]

35. '...when Bell refused to put on a mask...'

I didnt even need to read it lol.

Because OF COURSE.

[Jetheels]

48. Thanks for posting the whole article.n/t

[StClone]

60. Thanks for Contextualizing

So often posters are often too quick, excited, or overlook, that we are delivered into a situation with no clues of place, time, nature, or importance. I'm not that astutely, or acutely, aware of all. Thanks again

[intheflow]

61. Holy shit, I didn't realize she was talking to a cop!

In the OP's clip, I thought she was raging at the store employee. But that's some BIG white privilege to think she could not only mouth off to cops but obstruct their investigation of the event AND take a step towards them when being investigated for assault. I home she gets the full $500 fine and STFU about being a woman of God - which, as she is learning, is neither a legal identity nor a get out of jail free card.

[ShazzieB]

75. Thanks, to you as well as the o.p.! This fills in a lot of the blanks.

[NoMoreRepugs]

7. Stupid White "privledge" can be hilarious at times.

[Rorey]

8. I found more!!!

[nolabear]

30. Sweet Jesus...

Does she have relationships? I’m generally not in favor of slapping anybody upside the head but...

[progressoid]

52. She seems nice.

[SergeStorms]

68. A priviledged white woman...

who's obviously used to ordering people around and being a pain in everyone's ass. She's probably very popular in her church groups though.

[wnylib]

80. First thing that comes to mind

when I hear anti maskers claim what good Christians they are is the abbreviation they used so much a few years back, WWJD. What would Jesus do? I want to come back at them with WWJI. Who would Jesus infect?

Then point out to them that the Christian Bible says that Jesus healed the sick. Nowhere does it say that he spread illness or condoned spreading it.

[SergeStorms]

84. All good points.

Most are major hypocrites, though, so I wouldn't expect a honest answer to any of them.

[George II]

88. Did you see the one about a month ago at an airport. A white businessman refused to wear a mask....

During his arrest he fought, and fell down while the officers were trying to cuff him. He kept shouting "you're treating me like a black person, you're treating me like a black person!"

That was hysterical.

[sop]

12. I love the moment when she realizes her "white christian woman of God" privilege won't keep

her from bein arrested: "OMG! OMG! OMG!"

[Tommymac]

14. SNL could not have done better.

Still can't stop laughing.

[wnylib]

81. It's a pre-written script for them.

They should use it, as is.

[Cracklin Charlie]

13. Kick

Must watch later.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

16. It cut off before she probably screamed to speak...

... with the supervisor.

[Hortensis]

18. If only the part of her that's strong enough to fight for her rights,

and as she imagines everyone else's, was connected to the rest of her brain.

[kimbutgar]

21. She is seriously mentally ill

Needs some psychiatric care. And be no where near a school board.

[ShazzieB]

76. I don't think mental illness is her main problem.

She's massively stupid and has a wildly disproportionate sense of entitlement. Neither of these is a mental illness.

There may be some narcissism there, but that's not quite the same thing!

Edited to add: Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder, but there's no enough info here for a diagnosis.

[Botany]

105. "She is seriously mentally ill."

Yup! Entitled, nasty and living in a Fox News world of misinformation about science and
facts too. No doubt that she has some serious mental health issues and if she was black
and poor she would have been in the legal system by now.

[malaise]

22. Sounds like a fourth grader

[Tommymac]

92. Check out her Miss America Question from 2007 below in post #31

I didn't realize this was the same dolt.

OMG OMG OMG

[3catwoman3]

110. Seriously -that is the same person?

OMG indeed!

[yonder]

23. In my best Flounder (Animal House) voice:

"Oh boy is this grrreat"

Wait for it indeed, thanks TM!

[leftieNanner]

27. Flounder!

Thanks for that ear worm, yonder!

[yonder]

28. ...

[Tommymac]

34. Nice.

[VWolf]

43. Seek and ya shall find :)

[barbtries]

73. i don't know if she was livestreaming to her fb

or talking to someone. i think it may have been the former, and then whoops! i'm being arrested

[Auggie]

26. The charge: "Assault citation (Class C misdemeanor) punishable by a fine of up to $500."

Had she been a person of color? Just imagine ...

[-misanthroptimist]

29. But what about her special rights?

As a christian woman of God who won't bow to false and not true laws, isn't she accorded extra rights...or something?

I'm guessing that self-awareness isn't her strong suit.

[Stallion]

31. Here She is at 2007 Miss Teen America Pageant

[Iggo]

32. Hooray for US Americans!

I saw her on that Tosh.0 show doing a “web redemption”, and she was not a happy camper. Daggers, man. Daggers. That actually bumped her up quite a few rungs on my respect ladder. I was all, “Good for you! You don’t have to be happy that asshole is fucking with you.”

[momta]

36. Yes!

I LOVE this clip.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

40. A scout for Trump's modeling agency...

... went after her when she was 12!

[peppertree]

50. "Thank you very much....South Carolina"

I'm sure if they asked her what a pregnant silence is, she'd say it's something God intended and shouldn't be aborted.

[irisblue]

33. The hand waving ...geez...

That cop grabbed that fast moving arm at the right time though.
https://amp.star-telegram.com/news/politics-government/state-politics/article250775264.html?__twitter_impression=true

snip--Sunset Valley police were called to the store on Brodie Lane after Bell refused to put on a mask when she entered the store. According to the police report and other witnesses, Bell shoved an employee “before forcing her way into a dressing room,” KVUE reported. Apparently, Bell then called the Nordstrom Rack corporate office.

::::Yep, Kara called the managers ::::

snip--Two witnesses corroborated the employee’s story for police.

In the video, Bell refused to tell officers her name before she is handcuffed. Bell, a candidate for the Lake Travis school board, resisted arrest while yelling to others in the area, according to the video. She was cited for a Class C misdemeanor, which can result in a fine up to $500."

38. Damn nice of her...

to tell the community who she REALLY is before the election. Idiots like her get elected to school boards all over the country because no one knows that they behave like children until it's too late.

54. Back during the early days of the rise of the teabaggers

the Kochs were quietly funding lunatics like this one to run for School Boards.

Kochonomics
Rigging the System at the Local Level

By Charles Posner, Tiffany Germain, and Anna Chu August 14, 2014, 12:00 am

(snip)

In recent years, the Koch brothers have taken their anti-government, low-regulation lobbying efforts to the local level, wading into county tax debates, city transportation decisions, and even school district bond measures. As Eli Miller, director of the Ohio chapter of AFP, put it: “There is no issue we won’t get involved in.” This local approach is an increasingly important prong in their multifaceted effort to limit government as much as possible, resulting in a system that benefits their business while in many cases negatively affecting everyday citizens.

These cases include a variety of advocacy efforts: some that have gained a broad spotlight for their incredulity, and others that are less newsworthy but just as illustrative of their goal. The instances below describe some of the ways in which the Koch network has operated at the local level to weaken all levels of government and the negative effects that push has on local residents. A partial list of Koch-funded efforts include:

Putting politics over kids in Illinois school districts by working to defeat initiatives intended to update school facilities and avoid cuts to school staff positions and programs

Ignoring the environmental consequences by investing in a local board election in Iron County, Wisconsin, to expand mining operations

Mounting a campaign to defeat a tax increase for the popular Columbus Zoo, depriving this Ohio institution of a stable revenue source and the ability to grow

Lobbying to ban a locally designed mass transit system in Nashville, Tennessee, that would improve the city’s connectivity and reduce commuting times for residents

Opposing a proposed 1.75 percent food and beverage tax increase in the tiny town of Fremont, Nebraska, that would fund emergency capital improvement projects

Nixing a proposed 1 percentage point income tax increase in Gahanna, Ohio, meant to prevent cuts to public safety, save jobs, and keep community centers open

Undermining public education in communities across the country by promoting school privatization and attacking teachers unions through local school initiatives and school board elections

https://www.americanprogressaction.org/issues/economy/reports/2014/08/14/95671/kochonomics/

Although there is only "1" brother left, I expect AFP (Americans for Prosperity) is still alive and kicking.

37. Dunning-Kruger is an epidemic among Repugs...

Simply astounding how millions of our very dumbest, least interesting, least talented citizens are absolutely convinced they are the most brilliant people on earth and vastly superior.

They know more about virology than Fauci, more about business than Bill Gates, and more about tennis than Serena.

[momta]

39. And more about ISIS than "the generals". n/t

44. Deep state doesn't want Karen to share her CDC knowledge

damn it. they sent their goons to silence her! I want to know what that secret CDC guidance was.

[Stuart G]

45. I think this is ..."staged"....Arrest..."I am a woman of God"...

No, you cannot arrest a ....Woman of God.......The cop is standing there and all
this is to put out the point of how ridiculous the mask rules are. It is an evil way to present
the opposing view point....

It is not stupid to have a rule about wearing masks..Is it stupid to have a rule about putting on a seatbelt?

Of course, I could be wrong....and I have been wrong a whole lot, and will be wrong again..

[BobTheSubgenius]

49. Requirements for motorcycle and bicycle helmets, traffic laws, jaywalking, target shooting...

... in an urban backyard, bonfires in wildfire season. On and on it goes. ALL KINDS of laws and regulations that are ultimately about safety. They ring even truer in Canada, because it's the public purse that must take care of these idiots when they refuse to stop running full tilt into trees and buildings.

[wnylib]

83. In a state like SC, where trumpers

are as prevalent as kudzu, this might very well have been staged in order to appeal to the Christisn victim voters.

[BobTheSubgenius]

46. Does she end up on the pavement with a knee on her neck?

Prolly not.

[jmowreader]

47. Some sovereign citizen tendencies there, as well

SCs believe the “common law” (SC definition: anything I want to do is legal) is the only valid law. When the “common law” came forth, she announced herself as either a SC sympathizer or a full blown SC. I wonder what her homemade license plate looks like.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

53. Best mime on Twitter.....

I suppose if she's late for church, she believes she has the right to drive 100MPH....

67. But.....but.....she's a woman of GOD!

I wish they would have let the video run a little longer. I would have liked to see the smoking crater where those jack-booted thug police officers once stood after god smote them. Nah....on second thought I don't have months to waste waiting for something that will never happen.

I'm so glad they whisked Karen off the street. Maybe that smug b*tch will think twice before her gaping maw flops open again, but probably not.

[patphil]

69. I did not sign up for this?

Okay, let's see what you did sign up for...show us your contract with God.
OMG, OMG, OMG! Cut to God, "say what?"

I will say one thing though, as someone living in the United States, you are required to follow the laws, Federal, state, and local.
That you are indeed signed up for by virtue of living in the United States.

So OMG the judge, Karen.

[barbtries]

70. she's not right in the head.

probably propaganda she's been sucking up for years and years.

i hope a get a chance to see her represent herself in court. what i wonder is why was she arrested?

[Tommymac]

93. Full details in post above.

She pushed a store employee, refused to wear a mask and locked herself in a dressing room.

[barbtries]

97. thank you nt

[whistler162]

71. Would you call a black woman Jemima?

[BigmanPigman]

74. I have seen a lot of this from parents of my students.

Not necessarily about a specific topic, but the attitude in general. Try dealing with one of these nuts during parent/teacher conferences. Then multiply it by 25 over a 4 day period. Thank god for the sane parents.

Don't blame teachers when kids grow up to be like this...not our fault.

[Skittles]

89. I couldn't do it

one of my dad's biggest rules when I was growing up was DON'T BE A PAIN IN THE ASS...these entitled assholes make me sick, I SWEAR I would attack them if I saw them in action

[ShazzieB]

77. "I AM A CHRISTIAN WOMAN OF GOD!"

[Ilsa]

78. That voice her mannerisms! Where the hell do you grow up and

learn to speak like that, and wave your arms around? She's a caricature of something that belongs on SNL.

[spooky3]

111. I had exactly the same reaction!

Can’t decide if it’s the mannerisms or the complete inanity and entitlement in the content that is more breathtaking.

Thanks.

[King_Klonopin]

98. I work in the field of "mental health"

RN for 33 years. Inpatient psych. Hence the facetious DU name.

I have had to deal with these types of people since I was 22 (40 years).
Character pathology, entitled and grandiose, rules apply to other people,
love to cause discord and be the center of attention, love to challenge others'
authority, and -- of course -- whiny victimhood. Wherever they go, they make
the world a miserable place for everyone else.

She is mentally ill -- the kind of ill you can't fix.

I can at least chortle about her reaction to being restrained. They are always
shocked and incredulous when their bad behavior begets the justifiable response.

If she is a child of God, He would probably like to give her a spanking.

[betsuni]

99. I liked the ending.

[Cha]

100. Wth was that about? She definitely

has a grating, whiny, dumber than shit voice!

[Aussie105]

101. Taser! Taser! Taser!

Karen in off her head, for the police protection of themselves, the taser should have come out!

I was waiting for that! BUT! It never happened!

Guess being white and blonde has it's benefits?

Cop on the right thinks: She is never going to wind down! Time for the Taser! Now is that on the left or the right?

. . . but what is this thing she does? God is on my side, so you can't argue with me, instead be afraid of me?

Not original with me, unfortunately.
