Cleveland won an elimination game finally. They’re back home tomorrow to see who will take on the Yankees, who closed their series out. The Niners won a snoozer that turned into a good game. And across the pond, England lost to Greece for the first time ever. Embarrassing. OK, now on to…the links!
They deserve the spotlight. And it’s not only Trump. Their former employees are disgusted by what seems to be a trend of questionably biased behavior.
Had they done their jobs, they wouldn’t have found themselves in this position. Unless I’m wrong that their job was to keep the peace, rather than stand by as thousands of rockets were fired by terrorists across the border. Also, they’re in a war zone. They might want to clear out if they’re not a participant.
This is a nice win. I was gonna make an “8 year olds, dude” joke, but these kids were six. SIX!!! What a disgusting creep.
Get out of the cities. At least that one.
This is a winning strategy. I can think of no better way to attract black men than to hector them and tell them how stupid they are. Keep it up, Barry. Keep it up.
Speaking of hectoring. Here’s a basic lesson for writers from The Nation: go fuck yourself.
This is (another) nice win. Keep em coming, boys. You’re doing great work. Seriously.
I’m not sure OJT was the right plan here. This dude might have needed a bit more before jumping right in to the work day.
This would be hilarious. I sure as hell hope it’s true.
I wonder if the CFPB will jump in and charge these guys too. After all, false advertising is false advertising.
Going back to my roots today. It’s probably been too long since I’ve played these guys. And I might play this one too much for some of you. Oh well, it’s an amazing song. Enjoy them both.
And enjoy this lovely Friday and weekend, dear friends.
I’m honestly surprised that the work proxy didn’t block that link. It’s as anti-gun as Kathy.
It’s only false advertising if they were selling it as not being full of drugs. If the bag was just for transport or personal use, it’s not advertising.
I think their Racial Struggle Session Unit says it all about what’s going on at CBS.
I hope they stayed true to their roots and issued their guidance in Little Red PDFs.
Well, the Adobe logo is red.
They don’t care about integrity anymore. This is too important an issue for them. Once the right person wins, they can go back to attempting fairness and impartiality…if it’s called for.
They are no full blow propagandists. Captured and owned in a machine that becomes less and less viable in this day and age of alternative media. They are desperate to stop the bleeding and the inevitable obsolescence, and the strategy adopted – that of lying to support government in the hopes government steps in to finance them and keep them afloat longer – is failing even more spectacularly.
They are just trying to build consensus Alex.
“they can go back to attempting fairness and impartiality”
It can be never called for for enemies (translation, anyone who opposes us in even the least little thing).
“lying to support government in the hopes government steps in to finance them and keep them afloat longer – is failing even more spectacularly.”
Is it failing spectacularly? It worked in Canada
Well, they’ll still need to defend democracy against [insert next Republican here], who is even worse than Trump.

I really hope you expected me to hear that as this character…
SDF-7:
You know I did, you big dummy.
I was somewhat disappointed that I couldn’t find a supercut of all of the “My only weaknesses”.
I can never assume everyone has the same bizarre cultural stew brewing in their noggin, Neph. 😉
Of course not – you people are weird.
SDF-7:
You’ve read my links, you have at least a passing familiarity with my mindset. And I hope this voice finished my first sentence in the response.
Morning, Sloopy —
That it is. No reason to regret linking it. I’m just glad for Banjos your roots don’t involve a Bizarre Love Triangle.
If they did, she and I would go round and round and I’d end up having a blue Monday after she sent me packing.
She’d come back to you, though — she has true faith and wouldn’t let her world be ruined in a day by a bad choice.
And your reunion would be a fine time, sealed with a perfect kiss. (At least until you had a dream attack about a murder in 1963…)
No link for big Gretch feeding chips to a chick on her knees? I am disappoint.
Nobody wants to see that.
You would think that there would be universal… almost catholic disapproval, wouldn’t you?
How about she does one where she has a woman in a burqa and they kiss? I bet you a large part of her constituents would then have something explosive or head separating from body like thing to say…
The picking on Christianity thing isn’t just lame, it is cowardly.
I still can’t figure out what the hell was going on there. Plus nobody really reported on it.
This was about the only story I saw on it:
Whitmer reenacts viral trend by feeding podcaster Dorito, drawing criticism from Republicans
This says it is a “Chip Chat” podcast by the Dylan-looking lady (seriously… I didn’t know if it was that asshole or what… which added extra cringe…) and it was somehow part of “Whitmer supports the CHiPS! *cough* no, not that one… the CHIPs Act and OMB wouldn’t… or something… somehow….
Neph’s probably right that there’s some “viral trend” aspect of it — because everything stupid is a viral trend on TikTok now. Thanks, China!
https://nypost.com/2024/10/10/us-news/why-is-gretchen-whitmer-feeding-a-left-wing-influencer-doritos/
And J.D. Vance is the weird one.
Weird is the repetition of The Handmaid’s Tale fantasy – always projected on the other side of course.
I have some bad news for her…
Lid for every pot, including Lib SoyBoys.
She’s cute enough but without having heard her speak I’m certain I’d want to stick knitting needles in my ears after 15 minutes.
Obama is laying the groundwork for Harris to blame her loss (again) on sexism and racism!
So does that mean they know they are not going to be able to steal it without getting caught this time, and rioting and claiming the election was not legit will be back on the table after 4 years of them canceling and even legal prosecuting people for doing that legitimately in the most suspect election ever?
They didn’t steal it without getting caught last time. They just didn’t suffer a consequences.
What politicians (let alone bureaucrats) ever face the consequences they should? That’s now a permanent part of the system.
Coming from the man who is arguably the most responsible for tearing the country apart with bogus allegations of sexism and racism over the last couple decades.
Interesting that he’s jumping into the fray at this late date.
I don’t think he really cares much for politicking. He feeds on the adoring crowds, sure… hey, who does that remind me of?
I think you have Obama totally wrong. He is a psychopath. It’s not about the adulation of the masses as much as getting a boner from treating them like absolute fools. Saying vague shit that could be seen as noble and good, when the plan is to wreck and inflict harm. Obama’s biggest giveaway was that shit about “Fundamentally changing America”. So many thought this meant for something better they had in their heads. People without their heads up their asses should immediately realized you only want to change things, and change them fundamentally, for entities you at a minimum dislike, and more likely than not despise.
But you go ahead and keep pitching that tired trope of yours.
I agree with ji. Guy just wants adoration and the money that comes with it. If pimping out for a candidate gets him that, then so be it.
I think best illustration was at that one event where he commanded the room while the POTUS walked around lonely.
A little from column A, a little from column B.
Look at those from whom he learned his politics. The types who want to “smash the system” tend to be narcissists too, just like him.

Obama’s educators were Alinsky and Ayers and that clan.
Remember that Saul wrote a book that became a bible to that clan of evil fucks, and dedicated it to the first rebel (and the original narcissist) : Lucifer.
Obama acting as if he is one of the bros….

Ya’ know Alex, I was gonna chide you about your Baptist-like fascination with Satan, but you beat me to the punch.
“ Baptist-like fascination with Satan”
Not a baptist, but I see this guy’s influence everywhere.
Also also, I wonder if they’re staffed with terrorists like that other UN outfit in Gaza.
The blue helmets are terrorists. If they’re also working for Hamas and Hezbollah, that’s a different question.
The UN has been captured by evil entities and serves only to do evil’s bidding.
Get them out of the US, get the US out of the UN, then nuke it from orbit.
Just to be safe.
They’re UN Peacekeepers — I’m just wondering if they’re raping the populace.
Too bad that wasn’t the first day of Preet Bharara’s new job.

Good morning!
From the previous thread, Joker 2 being a musical was one of the things that I looked forward to.
Generally I appreciate musical theater, opera and the like, but the reason I was looking forward to it with this movie, is it lends itself extremely well to an unreliable protagonist who is a) barking mad and b) is self-aggrandizing in the way that DC Villans in general and The Joker in particular are.
Also, art-as-spectacle like Moulin Rouge is just fun.
I’ve heard that it wasn’t particularly good.
I failed to finish watching the first movie, so I didn’t pay any attention to the sequel, thus this reporting is secondhand.
Yup, reviewers I trust said it sucks, so I will not be making an effort to watch it.
I was just pushing back against the “WTF musical?” aspect.
I’ve heard the same — I have watched the first movie (twice, I think… which is apparently about as much as I have interest in…), and I like some musicals (yeah, yeah… listens to PSB… likes musical theater… I’ve heard it all before…), but honestly — I really had almost no interest in this before the negative reactions came out. Less now, I suppose… but couldn’t be much less because I was fine with never revisiting that rendition of the character. It worked in the small dose… I didn’t need an extended re visitation.
I despise musicals….
Real life is not a song and dance.
Alex – the point of entertainment is to escape from reality.
Alex:
Singing used to be a part of real life, and I dare say its extinction with the rise of recorded music is one of the downfalls of “society.”
If you don’t dance then you ain’t no friend of mine.
What songs would be sung in the chip fab?
Not sure if serious, but the effectiveness of communal singing at generating ingroup bonds makes me extremely uncomfortable with bringing it into the workplace. Though Japan used to do that iirc.
The last place outside of church where I experienced it practiced was late in the evenings drunk at the fraternity house.
This whimsical tune, perhaps?
And of course — when they feel like the classics.
I was just being snarky. I don’t think singing while operating photolithography equipment would be good for the quality of the finished product.
“Alex – the point of entertainment is to escape from reality.”
That is how you get shit like explosions with sound in space like that latest Star Wars lesbian fest Disney gave us.
“If you don’t dance then you ain’t no friend of mine.”
I love to dance, and am quite good and diverse at that. Helps with wooing the ladies.
I just don’t want my screen time wasted with that shit.
Like when I am Watching porn there is plenty of crappy disco shit going on, but…
Wait. Ignore that last thing…
Oh I see.
Alex wants to be miserable guys, so knock off any fun.
“Alex wants to be miserable guys, so knock off any fun.”
Not at all.
Just like I tell those that have fetishes: “If you like hammering nails through your scrotum, and I don’t have to pay for it or watch it, I say, then go for it.”
I think musicals suck. Maybe it is cause my parents made me watch that idiotic “Sound of Music” shit too may times.
I’m not a fan of the traditional musical, but I do enjoy the mashups where it’s mixed with another genre (Anna and the Apocalypse [thanks for bringing that to my attention BTW], Stage Fright, Repo: The Genetic Opera, South Park: Bigger Longer Uncut, etc.).
That wasn’t the part that I was concerned with about Joker 2. Lady Gaga as Harley was a questionable choice to me, changing the Harley origin as much as they did, and the director saying that this wasn’t “the real Joker” did raise flags. On the other hand, the girlfriend and I have been enjoying the new Penguin show for the most part. It does require at least reading a synopsis of The Batman movie for backstory though.
Which “The Batman” movie?
UCS:
The one with the title The Batman.
Mr Ilium – I was convinced there was more than one with the definate article in the title. There have been so many, and it was the name of at least one television series as well.
I liked the Gotham version of The Penguin, I haven’t seen the newest, though I read it’s a similar concept.
Not Adahn:
The Penguin show is set in the aftermath of the movie. Stays more grounded than even the Nolan films. Oz is a mid level mobster who is working to take over the organized crime after the head of one of the families was killed in the movie (the head of the other family is in prison). There’s one questionable character (to me at least), but it’s not enough for me to be irritated yet. It feels like they’re setting up some threads for potential big bads for the next movie (and I hope my gut guess of Brother Blood is wrong).
Brother Eye then?
That is similar to Gotham then.
The Critical Drinker had some good things to say about the movie. Apparently Lady Gaga did OK. Ultimately (spoiler alert/who could have seen that coming), he gave it a thumbs down.
I binged Gotham while I had the ‘vid. I enjoyed it more than I thought until they blew up the bridges. Then it went from jumping the shark to wtf off the rails.
Repo is a big favorite of mine.
Also look up some other stuff by the same team. Devil’s Carnival is really good and has an excellent soundtrack. The first sequel (think it was on netflix) was decent, but a big step down. Haven’t checked to see if the 3rd one came out yet.
Still picking up lots of classic musicals too. I really like the “Li’l Abner” musical – not sure if we’ll ever get a blu-ray, but some great songs and you can’t go wrong with Julie Newmar as Stupefyin’ Jones.
The Joker does not need, does not benefit from, and should not have, an origin story.
Oh, I don’t mind that he has multiple origin stories. Just don’t make any of them canonical. There’s also been quite a few really good new origin stories for characters (Mr. Freeze comes to mind immediately).
Classically — the Joker origins are multiple choice. And that’s the way folks like it.
(So more seriously — I don’t mind a Joker “origin” movie, especially given the multiverse (Crisis? What Crisis? Flashpoint undid all that!) these days. It is just one interpretation (like Thug Life Joker from Suicide Squad… not my cup of tea, but if people want to try it, whatever….), not Definitive. The Killing Joke variant always worked for me, but I don’t expect anyone else to agree or care, honestly.
Neph – I don’t object to origin stories in general¹, but I don’t think that the Joker should have one outside myth and legend. The character works so much better as a formless avatar of chaos, then as just another big bad who needs a connection to the audience…
¹ – Although there is a tendency in TTRPGs to substitute a character’s origin story for a distinct personality – I suspect this happens in conventional story writing as well.
Done.
However, there are (theoretically) other options – including, stop voting for pro-crime leftists. It worked for a couple decades there, until it stopped working.
“However, there are (theoretically) other options – including, stop voting for pro-crime leftists”
I am wondering if you said this in jest or if you actually believe this is still a possibility these days, in these places that have been captured by a criminal cabal, and which control not just the voting, but the vote counting. The people’s will won’t matter a bit.
I believe these blue places and states will only free themselves of the yoke on their necks through means other than voting. Once you are captured by voting in and and giving all power to marxist crooks, you are not voting yourself out of that. They will not allow that.
An ex-governor and his spawn getting tuned up? I’m trying to decide exactly how upset I should be here…
Paterson was actually a relatively decent person. An old-style, not batshit crazy Democrat.
Fair enough. He can jump into the woodchipper under his own power, instead of being poked in at bayonet-point.
His party voted for this shit. Time to get your earned rewards. Maybe the fact that it happened to a right thinker will wake them up.
My blood pressure won’t let me read that racist POS but… there is a possibly valid argument to be made that the electoral college is responsible for many non-leftists sitting out elections in “blue” states.
It is not at all clear that eliminating it would usher in the 1,000-year Reich that the Dems think it would.
Yes it was all rooted in ‘america is a slave empire’
If there was a national popular vote, a ton of people whose votes don’t matter because their state is a lock would probably shown up, thus changing the calculus on Election Day.
If it ever happens, some states, cough::California::cough, are gonna have to abandon their bullshit primary system and let the parties pick their own nominees that will show on the ballot for it to be fair.
Hell, they should be forced to do so anyway, in my opinion.
I’ll go one step further, fuck party recognition entirely. Have ballot access rules that have no mention of “party”. The parties should be paying for their own damned primaries, and the states shouldn’t be involved in party primaries either.
^This.
If hte parties want to use party money in support of their candidate, they should be free to do so, but they should not be privileged.
That just reinforces my point. The party should tell the state who will appear on the ballot to represent them, they turn in the required signatures, and that’s that.
Rigging the system by having a single multi-party primary and sticking the top two on the ballot keeps people home and impacts other races. It also prohibits write-in candidates from participating in general elections. If a national popular vote ever comes, this will have to be rectified.
sloopy:
Nope. The party should need to jump through whatever hoops the state/municipality have in place to get onto the ballot. The same hoops that any candidate should need to get through. Nothing special for D or R, I don’t care how many votes you got in the last election, go get your signatures on a petition the same as the Greens and Libertarians.
But under the CA system, those Libertarian and Green Party candidates will never see the general election. They have to go in the primary, where the top two vote getters are the only ones who will be in the general election. And since the presidential election is handled differently and the parties get to choose who appears on the ballot, so long as they have the required signatures, I think the down-ballot races should be handled the same way.
Why is it fair to have one system for ballot access for one race and a different system in place for other races? Especially when those elections are held on the same day and on the same ballot.
Fuck that. Parties should not have ballot access. Individuals should. If a party wants to back an individual, so be it.
Fair?
Since when has fair had anything to do with it?
One could argue parliamentary systems are a form of electoral college.
Especially when they add “at large” districts.
I think it’s also possible that leftists sit out elections in a blue state if they live in a solid blue district (e.g. California #2) and similar for conservatives in solid red districts (e.g. Texas #11).
Obviously there are a lot of other things going on at times, but if the state is like, say, Kansas where the senate is Republican and your district is a +20 and the electoral vote has gone R since 1968, you may not be real motivated.
So on the face…I agree, until I don’t. As demographics shift those towns/cities/states might come into play. Under a direct popular vote, they would never matter.
I don’t understand how some people think the UN has a purpose. I has achieved almos nothing positive in its entire existence.
It’s achieved being the largest human/sex trafficking organization on the planet…has that going for it
as long as “no fatties” that’s okay…
Why do you think they make them walk all the way from somewhere in South America to the US border?
Tone up that hoe.
From what I’ve seen of the newly arrived hookers in NYC, they didn’t walk very far. There is absolutely a network that transports these people most if not all of the way.
I don’t mind it existing as a place to air grievances and provide another space for diplomacy. During the cold war, it allowed the world to see just how straight up evil the Evil Empire was.
It’s when it tries to play world government that the problems start.
I’m kind of upset I didn’t find this until after I’d done the links:

Like I said, I am suspecting a lot of the contrition we are seeing from the usual suspects and the captured institutions, is because they need/want to legitimize their usual “violent resistance” that they had made illegal for their political opponents after stealing the 2020 election, legal again.

Socialist Albania actually managed to eliminate commodity-circulation in their collective farms, something the USSR was not able to do. Hoxha followed Stalin’s advice in “Economic Problems of Socialism in the USSR” and made the collective farms public property,
https://x.com/Hoxhaist_TDM/status/1844661062504739024
and that worked fantastically well for Albania.
Socialist Albania had a standard of living not much higher than that of the feudal system of the middle ages…
That’s what these fucking nihilists want.
Depending on feudal system, maybe even lower. But the bunkers were lit.

“It said there was an “acute” shortage of affordable properties in rural areas.” – ah that kind of “legal right”
Fuck that noise.
There is no such thing as a positive right.
Same shit the left pushes in the US except here they justify it with the same cries of “racism” that infect everything else in this country.

Charlie Kirk’s College Tour Leaves Women Students Angry Over Abortion
https://www.teenvogue.com/story/charlie-kirk-college-tour
“Charlie Kirk has really blown up over social media the last month or so,” sophomore and journalism major Morgan Kilbourne told Teen Vogue. “He’s definitely become like an online persona for our generation just because he’s debated so many college students — and a lot of them have really held their ground and made good points.”
Kilbourne added, “He’s kind of just a weird guy. He’s a big interrupter. I just wanted to see him in real time.”
Ashley Thornton, a sophomore and criminal justice major, said she went to the event after seeing the debate videos go viral on TikTok. “Him being here is lovely because I get to make fun of him,” Thornton said. “I don’t agree with his views and the things that he says…. One of the videos I saw was him talking about abortion and how he thinks about abortion. I look at him and I’m like, ‘You don’t have a uterus, why do you have an opinion?’”
I have seen Kirk run circles around these dumb bitches, and from what the comments you showed say, I think they are not even bright enough to realize they were powned.
Me, I am impressed by people that tell me they prove their independence and power by demanding government give them protection to murder their offspring at will. You go gurl!
“She didn’t do well in the debate, but all he did was lie.”
I can only assume these young women being interviewed are so unpleasant that they are there because nobody invited them to a party that night.

Well, my furnace still works.
In DC, I’m pretty sure I never turned my heat on in October.
Still tryna find that magic temperature where I can pile on the blankets in bed, but not break out into sheet-soaking sweat. It’s lower than 50 degrees, though.
I don’t think it exists. Unless you’re including “No matter how many blankets you get frostbite” temps.
It doesn’t get any easier with age, I tells you.
Had to turn on the heat here earlier this week. Supposed to get up to 70 today, before going back to more fall weather (aka cool and rainy).
Yeah, heat is on here as well. Every night we are flirting with hitting the 30s and have not been over 40.
Gaaaah. Still 90s here in Texas.
I’ll commiserate with you a bit RJ. We’re mid 80s today and flirting with 90 tomorrow. Of course, then we drop to highs in the mid 60s, so i can’t commiserate too much.
I want to replace my Viessmann vitopend with another Viessmann and I hope I do not need heat until then. This one has a few years left in it but I decided to replace it for various reasons.

Maybe the Utah Hockey Club could use him. I hope they keep that name. I was disappointed the Washington Football Team name was changed.
I thought Washington Football Team was terrible, and then I heard Commanders.

On Millennial Snot
Have you noticed the snippy, obnoxious way that liberals talk now? They all sound like Mean Girls. Middle-aged people with PhDs speaking and writing like snotty, sarcastic teenagers. It didn’t used to be like this.
I call it “Millennial Snot.”
Excessive use of “like,” uptalk, and vocal fry – these were once considered unprofessional ways of speaking. But in the early 2010s a handful feminist linguists with Tumblr accounts wrote opinion pieces arguing that the way teen girls talk is actually like, totally valid. “Like” isn’t just a crutch, a semantically empty filler word for someone who’s not in command of her ideas, it’s a “lexical hedge.” Talking like a teen girl or catty gay became a way for boring straight white people to reposition themselves as youthful rebels.
You need to be dropping devastating truthbombs, but with quirky, girlish ‘tude
. You have to be a cocky teenage Latina
. You have to talk like a badass kid
in a Joss Whedon script who outsmarts the adults with clever wordplay. You need to be processing your childhood trauma through a filter of tired Hollywood tropes
, like the rich-kid 80s movie bully
. Remember, Biden is “Joebi Wan Kenobi
.” Tim Walz is the Ted Lasso veep
. He’s your dad, and Kamala’s your fun aunt and they’re gonna do some hardcore Tarantino stuff
to the bad guys. The Dems are the Avengers, and the Republicans are the Sith. The world is your stage.
A lot of this boils down to an inability to age with grace. Millennials are now moving into their 40s and growing old and frumpy is especially difficult for them because the cultural distance between millennials and their parents was wider than any generational divide since the 60s.
Meanwhile, millennials got shafted by a number of economic trends outside their control (9/11, the 2007-2008 financial crisis, a pandemic and an ongoing housing shortage – this rundown will be familiar to anyone who’s read an article about the generation), which hamstrung their ability to achieve traditional life milestones like marriage and procreation on time.
Downwardly mobile young people have long turned to hipster sneering as a way to signal status.

it seems you can now write novels on twitter. that aint even 10% of the post. But it is a take, I gather.
The egalitarian utopia of secular enlightenment liberalism has not arrived and never will, and the resentful sense of superiority that results in the modern liberal is all he’s got left. Liberalism has no moral lodestar, no ideal to point toward. It doesn’t really believe in anything. It purports to love everyone, but it can only love a faceless abstracted other. It can’t love its own drunk uncle, not even at Thanksgiving. All it has is bitterness toward the outgroup, who are defined by their wrongness. Whether it’s the soviets executing capitalist “wreckers” in the street, or skinnyfat libs owning the chuds on Twitter, the animus is the same. It’s all they’ve got. Millennial snot is the apotheosis of this resentment, the terminus of liberalism: A sadistic, juvenile sneer that serves to belittle and patronize the other – no longer as a means to some higher ideal, but as an end in itself.

Stop feeding my misanthropy!
Helluva long read, but pretty good. I encounter on a regular basis middle-aged people who litter their speech with young/hip/outsider jargon in a pathetic attempt to seem timely and relevant; it’s annoying.
Although, to be fair, I do swear a lot.

With all the steroids that guy is taking I’m surprised he can have sex at all.
https://www.dailystar.co.uk/love-sex/my-boyfriend-teach-people-better-33788339
Steroids do not usually affect ability to have sex, that only happens in some people. The fucked up thing is increases the actual libido and desire for sex but peepee not work good
At this point I think everyone is aware that ‘the media’ is an organ of the state.
Fuck the UN.
This gender crap is evil. It needs to end and the people who pushed it punished severely.
The Soros/leftist DA’s should be sharing cells with the child mutilators.
We will never be rid of that piece of shit, will we?
The Nation…kinda stupid weighing in on that claiming to have a winning argument. I think they are counting on people not understanding the reason for the EC.
Speaking of muddying the waters, every gun law save the 2A – the supreme law of the land – is not a law but rather a crime committed by the state. Every. One. Of. Them. Stop arguing on their terms.
Too easy to make jokes. That’s horrible.
Speaking of having your legs knocked out from under you, yes it would be hilarious. I can only imagine the court intrigue going on in Iran of which we have little or no knowledge. Whatever, keep it up. Thanks a lot Jimmy, but the evil you foisted on the world needs to be stamped out.

You Son of a Bitch.
The core of the argument—that the United States is not a democracy but a republic—is not wrong; it just has nothing to do with the Electoral College. Being a republic is not a justification for our republic to work anti-democratically.
And stop reading.
To be fair sayg the us id aktually a republic is kinda Boomercon midwittery at this point. It does not mean anything.
If we’re pretending the United States is a democracy, then it is not inaccurate to be more precise and say it is a constitutional republic.
These people hate the fact the forefathers put together a framework that prevents them from doing the evil shit they want. And they hate it even more, because the framework exists because the forefathers saw this shit as absolutely evil and anti-ethical to a government for and by the people.
Wow.
I think the EC is the reason we are a republic and not a democracy.
What these lying fucks never talk about is the very lengthy and comprehensive writings and explanations of the founders. They were very plain about what their intentions were.
That’s what they are telling us though Suthenboy: Fuck the forefathers for stopping us from doing what we want.
These are people that do not realize the original Congress of the United States was what we now call the Senate.
Inept people trying to manipulate those they think are idiots score a fail…

Speaking of supercilious sneering
Rallying for Kamala Harris, former President Barack Obama spoke directly to American men and characterized Donald Trump as mendacious and self-centered, saying he doesn’t represent “real strength.”
“I’m sorry, gentlemen, I’ve noticed this especially with some men who seem to think some of Trump’s behavior — the bullying and the putting people down — is a sign of strength. And I am here to tell you: That is not what real strength is. It never has been,” Obama said, drawing heavy applause from the Democratic crowd.
We need to practice love and understanding and be willing to accept people for what and who they are. Except Republicans. Fuck those guys. They need to be taught a harsh lesson.
The Paradox of Tolerance. Tolerating even moderate Republicans will result in Nazis on dinosaurs roaming the streets.

The Harris campaign can tell you that.
Epic cringe is right.
Holy shit. They even referenced her buying donuts at a iconic business Bidenomics put out of business a couple of years before.
I figured they would have ;memory holed that.
It is real manliness to sign-off on a secret execution list (and to be deceptive about what it is).
Trump Announces New Tax Proposal, and It’s Pretty Awesome
*sigh*
No, it isn’t. It’s retarded.
Dummy, the reason cars have gotten so expensive isn’t the fucking loan interest burden. All this will do is give the manufacturers and dealers cover to raise prices again. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Here’s an idea – burn any automotive regulation not on the books before 1985 other than distracted driving fines, and bar states from imposing more restrictive rules as it impedes interstate commerce.
Yes, this 84 month loan at 8% interest seems ridiculous, but did you know the interest is now tax deductible?
Before the rally, Obama spoke to volunteers and expressed his concerns more explicitly.
“We have not seen the same kinds of energy and turnout in all quarters of our neighborhoods and communities as we saw when I was running. Now, I also want to say that that seems to be more pronounced with the brothers,” he said, according to a pool report.
“Part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president, and you’re coming up with other alternatives and other reasons for that,” he said. “You’re coming up with all kinds of reasons and excuses. I’ve got a problem with that.”
Yass, Massa.
How do you do, fellow brothers?
lol I wonder if he blacked up his speech but he disgusts me so I’m not going to listen to find out.

By making interest payments on car loans deductible, Trump aims to give a financial break to Americans while encouraging more car sales and stimulating the auto industry.
Jesus wept.
Yesterday I heard a clip of Kammy saying she was going to give first time home buyers 25K for “down payment assitance.”
Bitch, what do you think sellers will do? Supply and demand care nothing for your stupid pandering.
While I think she is actually this stupid, I bet this came from the people pulling her strings that hope the people that usually vote for free shit are also this dumb.
How much longer until they bring back the ability to deduct credit card interest as well?
deduct credit card interest
We gotta help those poor bankers!
Social Security recipients just learned they are only getting a 2.5% boost in 2025 (contrast to Longshoreman’s deal!) so expect more pandering by Harris and Trump in the coming days. “I’ll double that boost.” “I’ll see your boost and raise it 25%.” “Yeah, well I won’t tax your social security payments (Trump’s already ‘promised’ this). “I’m giving free round the world cruises to everyone over 65.”
Now THIS is how you really fuck over evil shitbags.

As Florida struggles to recover from the damage caused by Hurricane Milton, and the lingering effects from Helene two weeks earlier, the long-term health consequences could be devastating, studies suggest.
A recent study published in the journal Nature examining nearly 500 tropical cyclones from 1930 to 2015 in the U.S. suggested that big storms lead to thousands of extra deaths after the storms, and leave lasting impacts on public health.
The reasons for the extra deaths aren’t yet clear, but studies speculate that they may be related to socioeconomics, infectious diseases, and exacerbating effects on chronic health conditions like heart disease and mental stress.
——-
We estimate that these indirect deaths that occur through a number of channels over many, many years are equal to between 7,000 to 11,000 deaths per storm, which is 300 times greater than the official death count,” she continued.
That translates to between 55,280 and 88,080 excess deaths every year. The study also found that hurricanes and their aftereffects are estimated to have caused more deaths in the U.S. than all recorded car accidents, infectious diseases and war fatalities combined, totaling between 3.6 million and 5.2 million deaths.
Did it hurt when you pulled those numbers out of your ass?
Typo and blown link. Don’t bother trying to fix it – it’s perfect.
“Elon Musk unveils surprise ‘robovan’ at flashy Tesla event, says Optimus humanoid robots will cost less than a car”

A way to hide sex robots in plain sight, or working on building terminators?
The difference between the two is entirely a software setting.
Some studies also suggest that people with lower incomes often have less access to healthcare, and communities of color are more likely to be exposed to harmful pollution, making them more vulnerable to a storm’s immediate effects and aftereffects.
Infants and Black communities are particularly at risk after a storm, the Nature study revealed. About 99% of infant deaths happen more than 21 months later, meaning even babies born after the storm are affected. Additionally, those in Black communities face about three times the risk of death compared to white communities.
Although the Nature study doesn’t specifically explore why these differences exist, researchers are still working to better understand the phenomenon.
More money will be required to adequately study this. A lot more.
There’s been a gazillion prior studies on this problem. Why didn’t they reference them? Or do a metastudy? No money in it, of course, as you mention.
The problem is shitty Democratic administrations who create crime-ridden poverty-stricken food deserts.
Lesson: Don’t be poor.

The truth, the whole truth…
On Wednesday, a federal judge unsealed special counsel Jack Smith’s 165-page legal brief detailing Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s alleged criminal activities related to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. On Sunday, Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton called the move “a temper tantrum from a deranged fanatic” on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
“This is unverified, un-cross-examined hearsay from grand jury testimony, which usually isn’t revealed publicly for that reason,” Cotton (R-Ark.) told “Meet the Press” host Kristen Welker. “He went to court. He asked for special permission to file a brief that’s four times as long as a normal brief and to have it disclosed less than 30 days before the election. This is professional misconduct in all likelihood by Jack Smith and it should be investigated.”
Doin’ right ain’t got no end.

We have let certifiably insane people institutionalize lunacy. It happened in every other totalitarian revolution, now it is happening here. That is just fan-fuckin’-tastic.
“This is a perfect example of actual election interference, Jack Smith violating Department of Justice regulations to try to get out as much unverified so-called evidence as he has because he’s angry that he lost and the Democrats don’t think they can beat Donald Trump on issues like inflation and immigration,” Cotton said
