@DavidSalo @tgraph52

Exactly!

@Vanitas

Yes.

But one also has to wonder about him calling an election for Trump’s opponent TWICE.

To Silver: Trump won’t love you no matter how much you help him. To him you will always be unAmerican. Get over it.

Jeanine: “Whether he has his— thing or not, I don't want him in my bathroom. I don't want to think about him. I don't want to wash my hands near him.”

Thing? Walkman? iPhone? Cup of coffee? Those are things. A thing is an object.

Nor is it what offends her: it’s not the penis that upsets her, it’s the person. She said so. To the point that she “owns” the bathroom (“my bathroom”)—this is next level hate speech. It’s privileged speech.

This is EXACTLY the same shit as the 60’s.

“But Students for Life -- a group that has frequently distinguished itself as the least compromising…”

Which isn’t run by students, but by an woman who makes a cool quarter million off a non-profit using student labor…

“… advancing the dubious idea that abortion pills are polluting the U.S. water supply.”

Actually, there is MORE evidence that runoff from animal vax and hormones are poisoning the water supply. But that doesn’t seem to hold sway.

@Bix

A coverup is a coverup, mandate or not.

Funny the same people arguing that Biden’s health was being covered up are now trying to protect a pedophile.

Gang Of Pedophiles.

@Tacitus_Kilgore

The problem I see is there are no moderating factors. Trump wanted to shoot peaceful protesters. Instead he just had them tear-gassed. He violated their Constitutional rights and the media said what? Lawyers did what? SCOTUS did what?

History is rewritten by the victors. Trump won and no one cared.

@estherschindler

GM trusts it so much they removed it on the 2024 Blazer EV.

It’s more complicated than many think.

@BLuOXide

Radi?

Is there any reason Silver is to be assumed competent? He’s miscalled two high stakes elections involving Trump. Now he thinks Biden is incompetent despite Nate still having a job.

Despite on of the best NON-BUBBLE economies in my lifetime (and his).

He really should stick to sports.

Do you want to see how complicit the media is?

The last time thr media mentioned sexual assault was in JULY. Jr didnt drop out till August.

The media kept his assault of a woman out of the news for a MONTH during an election year.

I bet the 3% who voted for him never knew about it.

“Matt Gaetz, Pete Hegseth and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. face questions about their personal actions as well as their professional qualifications ahead of the Senate confirmation process.”

Kennedy Jr we knew about because of his “I’m not a choirboy” comment: as if that made shit better! 🤮

JFC these guys should be in prison.

You want to know what Trump plans for us?

Look at these peoples history.

Okay, this GOP dude keeps texting me as “David” (I’ve also been texted as Kory). I’ve no clue where they get my number.

So I sent him a response today:

Chad,

Now RFK Jr is lying about being a sexual predator. We know he lies because AP did a story about his lies.

Kennedy HIMSELF admitted to his sexual misconduct:

So, is the Republican Party, the Law and Order Party, now the Sexual Abuse of Women Party?

My god, have we no decency?!?

@csforyou

Lately I’ve been bad about the water. Need to work on that.

@Ellico2020bis @InUnfunky

I read (and never could find it again, THANK YOU INTERNET🤬) That when Roberts took on the role of Chief Justice he said that it would be the best court—or some such shit. Well, THAT went to hell!

Companies have feelings, money is speech, women’s rights belong to the state, a President can act like a king—that’s some pretty fucked up shit.

@Ellico2020bis

Holy Shit!!!

Your niece sounds like she would get along with my youngest sister (she is actually crazy—as in, “I stopped taking my meds because things were too calm” crazy—no joke.)

And she has a gun. Unregistered of course. Because Texas.

My sister won’t change. She is just very unhappy (she’s married to a Republican who thinks Republicans are right no matter what… he’s incredibly dumb).

Mom is smart, and I’m hoping she realizes that my sister is feeding her a narrative that is internally inconsistent. But my father is t doing well and she is emotionally and physically exhausted.

It’s just very frustrating.

I want to see Mom, but not at the expense of my own well being (yes, my sister is THAT exhausting).

So, of course, I’ve been obsessing over it all day.

I’m not mad at Mom, my sister lives in the same town and my sister is manipulative as fuck—for example she told my parent there were no Indian restaurants in the town then there are several… in fact we visited with food we bought in town! My sister REGULARLY gaslights but I avoid bring in it up.

Sorry, I just have to vent. There is no solution here. I have attempted to keep communication open with Mom. I’m not angry with her, just saddened.

Well, Mom and I had a fight. It involves my sister who I don’t want to be around because she constantly lies (her son got a medical degree so she now thinks she is a doctor—🙄). For several years Partner and I visited on a different day. Was cool. Now, for some reason, Mom decided there was no friction.

I’m doing my best by offering to bring supper, etc. I just want to be able to talk to my parents (sister makes sure it’s all about her—or something that excludes Partner, “Remember when…”) UGH!

Reactive instead of proactive. Weak sauce.

“You know when a colleague overshares at work? It's awkward at best.
Microsoft's Copilot has been doing an AI version of this behavior, which has unnerved corporate customers so much that some have delayed deploying the product, as… Microsoft released new tools and a guide to help customers mitigate a Copilot security issue that inadvertently let employees access sensitive information, such as CEO emails and HR documents.”

TBF, the media KNEW he didn’t distance himself, they just didn’t care.

They were far more concerned they Harris MIGHT raise taxes on the rich/level the playing field.

When people talk about equality, it is those who benefit from inequality that want to keep the status quo.

One of those is MSM.

If you think MSM is your friend, you’re going to may ALSO want to check out the 2016 election.
