Kamala Harris Struck the Almost Impossible Balance Between Masculinity and Femininity
But in 2020, Kamala Harris succeeded where Clinton did not. Potential voters view Harris as masculine, 74 on a 100-point scale, a pattern similar to the ideal president and similar to earlier ratings for Clinton. Unlike Clinton, however, Harris was seen as highly feminine (66 on a 100-point scale). Her masculinity and femininity were more balanced. Not surprisingly, the people we surveyed rated Harris more favorably than they rated Clinton.
Two qualifications are in order. The first: Clinton ran for president, while Harris ran for vice president. That probably affected how favorably each woman was viewed. When Harris was a presidential candidate, she was not viewed favorably, even though she displayed the same “masculine” and “feminine” characteristics all along. The shift in her favorability once she became a vice presidential candidate may have been partially due to her now subordinate position, a position women “should” occupy.

Scotland becomes 1st country to make free period products the law
Periods are a biological predisposition of being born a female, and the average female will spend more than 2,500 days, or roughly 7 years, of her life menstruating, but many women and girls around the world cannot afford period products. On Tuesday, Scotland became the first country to legislatively combat this issue by making menstrual products free in public facilities nationwide.
The Scottish Parliament confirmed in a tweet on Tuesday that the bill had passed unanimously. According to the parliament’s website, the law requires the Scottish Government to set up a universal system so that anyone in need of period products can get them for free. Schools, colleges and universities will also be required to make free menstrual products available in restrooms. Local authorities and education providers will be responsible for ensuring free products are made available under the law.
Goddamnit, I hate everything.
The bleakest lyrics over an upbeat pop tune. Just fabulous.
The way things go
You get so low
Struggle to find your skin
Hey ho, look out below
Your prayers will never be answered again
Phones still ring
And singers sing
Speakers are speaking in code
What now? Well, anyhow
Our prayers will never be answered again
You know it’s all beginning
(It’s all beginning)
To feel like it’s ending
(Feels like it’s ending)
No love’s as random
As God’s love
I can’t stand it
I can’t stand it
The way things get
You get so high
Funny how we make new friends
Oh hey ho, I gotta go

You know it’s all beginning
(it’s all beginning)
To feel like it’s ending
(Feels like it’s ending)
No love’s as random
As God’s love
I can’t stand it
I can’t stand it
And yet… you answered my prayers today.

Didn’t click the link, did I get it right?
If you have buttermilk and lard on hand, I recommend these, otherwise, you can go with the basic recipe.
Buttermilk biscuits
A biscuit – 1.75c F, 3/4 tsp S, 1/4 tsp BS, 1/4c. VS, 1/2c. W(hot)
Biscuits are much less about ingredients than technique.
Keep the fat cold and work fast.
I didn’t know we shared sex advice here now. Good to know.
Biscuits are absolutely about ingredients. Get “soft” wheat flour, and use shortening. Soft wheat is wheat grown in the South. Northern grown wheat is “hard” and does not make a fluffy soft biscuit. I recommend White Lily self rising flour.
I need pie! !! you’re making me lustful for your pie, darnitall.
So… we’re not doing phrasing anymore? All baked and filled off the cuff. It’s been far too long since I’ve made a pastry crust pie, I usually do graham cracker/gingersnap/vanilla wafer crusts for custard based pies. My sister and niece selected dessert the past couple of years when I was hosting, so no real need.
“Give me!” quoth I.
I managed to score a 6 of the Great Lakes Christmas Ale today, finally.

Look, she’s 74% masculine and 66% feminine. Anyone can see that.

More coverage of the attempt to impeach the Clown Prince
A group of Republican state representatives is pressing for the impeachment of Gov. Chris Sununu over his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, alleging he has exceeded his constitutional authority during the state of emergency, the group announced Tuesday.
“Simply, we are violating the rights of our people,” said Rep. Michael Sylvia, a Belmont Republican who is part of the effort. “This is not something that we can tolerate now or in the future.”
In a resolution currently working its way through the legislative drafting process, the representatives will call for an impeachment inquiry against Sununu, a fellow Republican, during the legislative session next year.
“That resolution must pass the 400-member House of Representative”….400? Isn’t that everyone who lives there?
Excepting minors, yes.
NH Lil Rona deaths down
The number of New Hampshire COVID-19 positive tests is rising amid a fall surge, it’s true. But despite headlines declaring daily positive tests setting state records, only a fraction of Granite Staters are being hospitalized or dying due to the coronavirus. The impact of COVID-19 today stands in stark contrast to its impact during the spring surge earlier in the year.
In the first ten days of November, there have been 1 million positive tests across the United States. That’s a new record. And in New Hampshire, there have been 1,867 positive tests since November 1. On November 5, there were 252 positive tests in a single day — a record high.
However, during that same 10-day period, there were just six coronavirus deaths — a fatality rate of 0.32 percent.
Compare that to the first ten days in May when, yes, there were fewer positive tests — 955 — but there were also far fewer tests. More importantly, there were 61 deaths, for a fatality rate of 6.4 percent. That’s literally 20 times higher than the death rate today.
Liberty Defense Fund of NH takes Bedford, NH bakery case
The Liberty Defense Fund of New Hampshire will support a Bedford bakery in its legal challenge to a fine for violating the Governor’s emergency order requiring face masks.
Simply Delicious Baking Co. owner Alexa Firman received a $500 fine by mail last week from the N.H. Attorney General’s office for “operating in violation of the Governor’s Emergency Order 52.” The letter stated “violations of any Emergency Order are subject to civil penalties of up to $1,000 per violation or up to $2,000 per day under Emergency Order 65.”
Emergency Order 52
Did they have to translate that from the original German?
I love that the fines are also not law, but listed in Emergency Order 65.
Fuck. Right. Off.
Edit #65 references RSA 21-P:47.
misdemeanors in NH are subject to jail time of less than a year and/or a fine depending on the type of misdemeanor.

To tie in with the Covid and Thanksgiving themes…a doc just called to let us know the nurse tested positive for Covid that did the temp check at the door for my son 3 days ago. Our guests, mostly young and healthy, cancelled when we let them know. Of course the call came after I already bought enough food for 15 people. At least I haven’t started cooking yet but that 24 lb turkey is going to take a while to go through… especially since I don’t like turkey.
Also, another doc called today to tell me the snip snip didn’t take and I’m still shooting live loads. Not looking forward to take #2. Offered a redo at no charge or told me jokingly that the wife could live with it. I replied it’s not my wife that I’m worried about.
I’m not answering the phone anymore today.
Congratulations, your boys are EXTREMELY good swimmers!
Hah, I figured that out after kid #4. I guess this makes it official though.
All clear here, I’m a Super Spreader going to a Covid infected house, We’re already Dead!
/Sister had it already…
That’s the way to do it.
ps. enjoyed your article yesterday evening. It’s not remotely on the same scale (or herb), but just bought the wife an Aerogarden for basil and thyme.
Do you have freezer room to stash the turkey and change plans? Perhaps break it down and freeze some of the parts?
I met with a friend for dinner on Monday. The COVID panic and election caused a big pile of family drama that had been lurking below the surface to a head. The person hosting was going to have a good half dozen just ghost tomorrow with no heads up.
That’s a good idea but there’s no room in the freezer. At least it’s supposed to be 70 and sunny tomorrow so am at least looking forward to smoking it on the grill. It’s also the kids’ first Thanksgiving that there old enough to look forward too. I’m going to still cook up everything but just cut the dish sizes by 2/3 and skip the separate gluten dishes I make for my sister.
I’d never make them again. In fact, I’d have never made them in the first place.
Meant gluten-free but ehh. It’s not that much extra work and makes her day (she really does have a severe reaction to gluten). Of course now I’m stuck with all this inedible gluten free bread and pasta for dressing and mac & cheese.
You forget, you are responding to a miserable excuse for a human being.
I don’t know what you are talking about. I am not just a great human being,, I am the First human being.
That’s what I was afraid of. I had enough lead time to understand it’s just the girlfriend and I. Store was out of pieced turkeys, so I shifted over to a pork tenderloin dish that I haven’t made in a while (stuffed with diced apples, wrapped with prosciutto, and then wrapped in puff pastry). Twice baked potatoes have been prepped, as well as bacon rotini and cheese. Mini pies were made for the girlfriend and I, and we’ve got some vegetables to roast, and I cheated out and picked up some frozen dinner rolls (I’m not in the mood to spend the amount of time to make yeast rolls for two people).
That sounds like some good food.
Yum!
“bacon rotini and cheese”
…go on.
/points back at the basic mac and cheese recipe.
Bacon grease for the roux, and toasted panko in bacon grease. Then used an Irish cheddar and a smoked provolone for the cheeses.
I presume neither you nor your son spent at least 15 minutes with that nurse.
Nope and nurse is asymptomatic. Not all the guests wanted to cancel, but they have to live with those who did.
Aw, I’d still come.
Plenty of food!
Phrasing!!
Save the turkey to ice your balls with.
LOL
You got some Mexican blood in ya?
I’m assuming so, given how good swimmers your boys are producing.
I never got retested after my snipping. Just figured it would work.
That’s strange. Usually the urologists require the test for liability reasons.
Maybe he just figured you didn’t have it in you anymore anyway.
It isn’t like a vasectomy does all that much anyhow.
This may be more apropos after stab #2
Albino.
Sis has the temperament of Michelle Obama. Presidential.
Did the positive lady even have any symptoms? Or is just bullshit?
I think asymptomatic, at least no symptoms 3 days ago. I’m 99% sure my family all already had it anyway before tests were available (doc called it a respiratory virus that wasn’t the flu).
Sorry.
Thanks. Minor but damn irritating.
Doctors aren’t Firsters. You can’t rely on them as you would me.
Too true.
Another person who doesn’t like turkey besides me. Yay! Sorry you have to eat it all.
Mr. Mojeaux’s snippage didn’t take the first time, either. He had to go all the way under for his.
Sorry to hear that with Mr. Mo. I’m hoping to avoid general.
I was going to make a meatloaf (loosely based on the Pioneer Woman’s recipe) for the turkey haters, but now I’m rethinking all that meatloaf for just myself. I have 4 bowls full of pizza dough that I was going to make rolls with. New plan is to use the beef, mashed potatoes, cheese, and dough for hand pies. I haven’t made hand pies before but sound really good.
This looks like turkey….

Or this?
My wife and I are friends with a couple where the wife is totes the alpha in the family. They had two boys and he got snipped.
Fast forward 5 or 6 years and boys are becoming lunkheads (instead of cute little kids). The wife decides she wants a daughter. So the husband is ordered to go get the vasectomy reversed.
Better, the wife is also cheap so instead of going to some local clinic she finds some place in Arkansas (we were all living in Minnesoda) that would do the procedure for thousands of dollars less. So off he goes.
He gets the procedure and it looks like it didn’t work. No baby. Again, fast forward another 5 or 6 years and all of a sudden she gets pregnant and has … another boy. So now she has 3 boys and one of them is an infant when she is 40 something. Uffda.
When my wife was telling me about the plan to send this guy to the Arkansas clinic, I was in tears laughing. After a while, I realized that my wife wasn’t laughing too. I think she was sounding me out on how I would have felt about getting the reversal and adding another kid to our brood. I shut her down in about 2 seconds. I also told her that if I really wanted another kid, I would not go to the cheapest snip doc she could find.
Later, I was telling a buddy and he said his wife was also getting a bit antsy about wanting another kid. I told him we fucked up. We should have gone along with our wives’ plan and taken the money and just had a great weekend in Memphis drinking and listening to music. When we got back, we’d spend another couple weeks taking it easy. Then we’d get tons of sex for a few months before our wives gave up.
His only rebuttal was that our wives would never have given us the cash for the operation. They would have paid the clinic directly.
That’s a funny story. A weekend away sounds nice. I’d like to spend a couple days deep sea fishing and drinking.
He gets the procedure and it looks like it didn’t work. No baby. Again, fast forward another 5 or 6 years and all of a sudden she gets pregnant and has … another boy. So now she has 3 boys and one of them is an infant when she is 40 something. Uffda.
Maybe she has 3 boys but he still just has 2?
You know the definition of masculinity?
Jogging home after your vasectomy.
As somebody contemplating said snip snip, I am not heartened by that.
Then ride a bike.

The motorcyclist failed to stop and sped away from the scene.
Moments later, Fuentes was struck by another vehicle – a white sedan – which also drove away, before being hit by a third vehicle which again failed to stop.
The 50-year-old died at the scene.”

I wonder what he had on Hillary.
“Crossing” the road. What I see is he staggered out into moving traffic, wearing black, at night.
Yeah, crossing in the middle of the street where there aren’t any lights, while wearing black removes any right to claim the title of victim.
Unless the drivers were all drunk in which case they are all fucked regardless of whether they left the scene or not.
Anyone want to make a bet that Fuentes was drunk off his ass? And I say this as someone who used to make sport of crossing the freeway while drunk to get to a movie theater across from a bar I drank at.
It’s a special kind of stupid or inebriated to get hit by oncoming traffic.
I read somewhere that you are equally likely to die walking home drunk as driving home drunk. It’s just that, obviously, you’re far more likely to kill other people while driving.
Have no idea whether that’s true.

To whip your joyous flesh
And bruise your pardoned breast,
To make in your astonished flank
A wide and gaping wound,
And, intoxicating sweetness!
Through those new lips,
More bright, more beautiful,

“New Mexico governor shuts down grocery stores for two weeks
A dozen grocery stores around the state have been forced to close for two weeks because of a public health order issued by Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham at a time when the state’s residents are suffering from record high unemployment and food insecurity, critics say.
The order requires businesses with four or more rapid responses of COVID-19 cases reported within in a 14-day period to close for two weeks.
More than 25 essential businesses were shut down as of Monday afternoon, including a number of grocery stores and major retailers.
The closures include two Walmarts in Albuquerque and one in Santa Fe, an Albertson’s in Roswell, a Smiths Food & Drug Center in Albuquerque and New Mexico Food Distribution Center in Albuquerque.”

The ending got a chuckle out of me.
One of the news channels at the gym had Biden speaking behind a podium. I swear I thought it was Captain Pike from Star Trek. I was looking for the flashing lights.

“Joe Biden said on his first day in office he will move to repeal President Trump’s tax cuts.
We need to LOWER taxes and to SIMPLIFY the tax code… not raise taxes!”
In the end, taxation is theft.”

Boy will Joe and the other Dems be so mad when Hawaiian judges use legal precedent to block Joe from undoing any of Trump’s executive orders.
I can hardly wait to see that.

It will be a tax cut. For middle to wealthy families in high tax jurisdictions. So pay off to his base.
His party will need the senate.
I know he was a Senator for 3 centuries, but does he know how legislation works? Somebody should show him a Schoolhouse Rock video.

A fresh and peer reviewed study published in the International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents found that low dose hydroxychloroquine in combination with zinc and azithromycin reduced hospitalizations in COVID patients by 84 percent when given early:

It’s a shame they didn’t use this as a treatment. I blame Trump.
I should’ve refreshed. ?
It’s more than a shame. It’s a fucking outrage.
Countless hospitalizations and deaths just to own Trump.
Figure they’ve been overestimating COVID deaths so let’s call it 200K and figure they overestimated the effectiveness here so let’s call it sixty percent; let’s see sixty percent of 200K is 120K dead who wouldn’t otherwise be dead…you’re right, it is an outrage.
And it’s all Trumps fault.
In a way it is because he folded too fast.
For any of you thinking about trying out practical shooting, this is an insanely good price on a belt:

Biden will start touting HQC and will be praised as a miracle worker.
Absolutely he will. It will be the recommendation for those that forgo the vaccine as a prophylactic.
The science changed and his opinion evolved bro.

If this is legit just think how many people bought it unnecessarily due to the media’s histrionics. It’s borderline criminal.

Fucking Hell these fucking people…
Is Denver now so bad that the Mayor’s wife and kid live in Mississippi??
Good for him. Now the residents of Denver can fear nothing when they enjoy Thanksgiving on one crappy year.
I’m also thankful for all of you.
As a Libertarian in Canada, it’s at best a truism that every Libertarian here could meet in a phone booth (er, if we still had those things), with room to spare. It’s very discouraging some days, especially when you realize that your best alternative is various flavours of brain-dead conservatism. I do a lot of nose-holding. Farg.
Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving, in spite of your Moral and Intellectual Betters’ ™ most strenuous attempts to wildly fuck it all up.
I thought I had found my place here in Canada with the Conservative Party of Quebec but I’ll admit that I was quite shocked when some party staff members were arguing to use the courts to go after people protesting the masks… before the mandates.
Seem like here is the only sane place left in this world.
I’m very grateful for all the people here that make this place be what it is.
Just back from the store and it is quite clear that A: Thanksgiving is a great time for alcohol as that aisle was jammed up and B: no one is listening to our Guv.

Thanks for being here Glibs. You all are some messed up people but thats what I like.

PA got interesting today.
I have it on good authority that Trump lost just because he was more unlikeable than likeable. Especially in PA where he had that 700,000 vote lead that evaporated when 80% of the remaining votes went against him in suburban neighborhoods that bucked all the trends seen elsewhere in the country.
I think it’s funny that Trump being intensely disliked by a lot of people is just soooooo hard for some people to even contemplate. It’s particularly funny when people then also say that aren’t totally in the bag for him.
I started off intensely disliking Trump and it took a while after the election for me to change my tune. So, no, not hard to contemplate at all. That driving record turnout against him in ways that bucks all trends, as has been explained to you, I find harder to contemplate.
This is an election that saw a massive shift in how people voted and with in a change or complete disregard for the laws on the books with regards to how votes are accepted. You seem to be the one who is completely unwilling to even accept the idea that maybe some shenanigans went down in this day and age even though it wouldn’t exactly be new for American elections.
And far bigger than one election is whether said rule changes and methods of voting become permanent. Mailing out ballots to entire populations and disregarding all methods of checking the validity of votes like signatures is going to guarantee Democratic majorities.
You don’t need to tell me what a load of fuckwads the PA Supreme Court is. What still doesn’t wash is that Democrats did not come close to benefiting from this across the board – just in one single race. That is some real strange election shenanigans – hey let’s do some really shady shit, but only for Biden. How exactly does that make sense to you?
Desperation, sloppiness, and the knowledge that they won’t get the state level locals too involved if they’re lucky.
That is as much an argument FOR fraud as AGAINST it. If a handful of people were filling out fraudulent ballots do you think they were going to spend 5 minutes per ballot filling in all the races or 30 seconds per ballot filling in the one they really cared about. I don’t buy the notion thatthis was fraud as a carefully orchestarted take over of America. I think what fraid there was occurred because for the past 4 years every outlet most people see has screamed about LITERALLY HITLER praising Nazis and caging toddlers. The problem with conspiracy is not the handful of top men getting together, they do that all the time, it is getting the actual peons who fill in ballots or shred Trump ballots to risk their future for no real gain. In Trump’s case you have millions of young, politically active, people who think he is Sauron and they are saving Middle Earth. In the case of Joe Republican congress critter they may vote against him, but they are not lying awake at night crying because he wants to burn their gay friend at the stake.
If the down ballot votes don’t roughly match the top-line votes, then you have a fair point. However, assume the numbers do roughly match – where exactly does that leave you?
It leaves me fine. I am not invested in this argument. I am being ornery and pointing out flaws in your various arguments because I generally like and respect you as a commentator here but on this issue your posts have sounded very much like the absoluetely infuriating BS facebook slaps under every comment anyone makes. I don’t want conservatives and libertarians calming their tits. This looked suspicious, and the people who will apparently be running things going forward are openly opposed to everything I value, why would I calm my tits?
Hell if you proved to me the election was fully legitimate and at the same time gave me a button that would overturn Biden’s win i’d push it. I do not give a damn about democracy, or equality/equity/leveling. I care about liberty, and the US. The days when I opposed Democrats because of team are long gone. I oppose them because they have shifted left to the point where the mainstream democrats are democratic socialists in the European mold, and the extremes are outright marxists and they need to be stopped, preferably with ballots but with bullets if necessary. If we get any appreciable portion of the Green New Deal, or Biden’s gun control proposal it is time to rebel.
Who else was there to do it for in PA?
It might have been done for Ossoff in Georgia, too.
One way to check is if the Biden Fraud occurred in Democratically-safe districts for down-ballot races.
It’s certainly plausible but in combination with the anomalies and what can only be called outright bullshit it deserves a further looking into. That being said, hatred doesn’t normally motivate voters that much but when they can hate from the comfort of their couch and all they have to do is put a stamp on it, maybe so.
If this had resulted in the vaunted Blue Wave, particularly if the Blue Wave only happened here in PA (and in contrast to essentially all of the other states), then you would have my full attention on election shenanigans. It just doesn’t play out that way, does it?
Meh, Trump sucks, but the election sure looked hinky to me up until about 11 pm it looked like it was in the bag for Trump and then it flipped and flipped due to some very odd ballot ratios. It wasn’t 50% of the vote counted with Trump up and then they started counting ballots from Biden areas, it was more like 85% of the vote counted with Trump up significantly then Biden taking huge percentages of the vote, and the percentage counted holding still, or in some cases going down. I know you are delighting in being the “voice of reason” on this but honestly if you didn’t see anything odd you are not being reasonable you are being as blinded by your preference as the Trumpalos are.
Again, show me where the Democrats benefited, other than in the Presidential election.
I’m not saying I wanted Trump to lose, just that I don’t find it impossible to understand that it could happen legitimately.
Well, John James was up in Michigan when the wierdness hit and lost, but as I said above I think the Trump is the devil and must be defeated cheat is far more easy to set up than an open power grab cheat. I am not saying Trump wasn’t hated. I am saying the opposite. Up until a week before the election I thoughtTrump was toast, then it started to look like there had been even more hidden support than in 16 and I flipped to thinking he’d pull out a squeaker. Then Election night evry indicator I know of showed that Trump was winning in a walk, and poof wierd things started happening and Trump was losing. At this point I don’t see much likelihood of Trump proving fraud, but count me in the camp that is going to be damned hard to convince this was a legitmate result.
What makes you think it all was done to give some advantage to the Dems?
Somebody wanting to effect the international position of the US wouldn’t really care about local races.
Somebody just wanting to mess up with the US wouldn’t even mind the fraud being grossly done and discovered.

“But with COVID-19, experts say to keep the risk in perspective: The virus is fragile and doesn’t survive easily outside the body for long.”
I have been led to believe this virus lives for decades on sufaces by the same media writing that above.
Huh. Sounds a lot like the late-stage messaging around AIDS back in the mid-to-late 1980s. The benefits of being an old fuck, I s’pose…
I was thinking the same thing. Beware the toilet seat.
Well..we have two data points pointing to Fauci that he goes to eleventy on the hysteria whenever any new disease shows up and was wrong on both.
Fauci downplayed possible treatment options with AIDS and instead said all the efforts and funding should go towards a vaccine. In some professions that sort of miscalculation might come with negative consequences.

Are these the same officials who signed that bulshit about how looting and rioting were benefical because they fought the public health epedimic of racisim. Fuck off.
Minus the loudmouths in the media and on the socials crying, I think American’s (see TSA saying numbers are up traveling) don’t give a fuuuuuuuuuck for the most part.
I don’t know. There seem to be a decent number of Glibs alone who have made plans only to see them dashed by Covid-panic.

Well “for the most part” was said and also people are not complete assholes and aren’t going to force the situation. So, not really sure what you are getting at.

So one thing that I wish people would see over the past few months is how much their legislatures have given up to the executive when they penned their “emergency” bills in the past that many governors are utilizing today.
I know they won’t and they enjoy having a single person dictate their lives, but that is my Thanksgiving and Christmas wish this year.
