Good news indeed. I was really worried about the Brazilian election after the last round.

"That giant sucking sound you may have heard last night was the sound of thousands of extremely stupid articles about the โ€œunstoppable march of the populist rightโ€ or similar getting deleted by hack journalists"

Grenwald, Michael Tracey, Matt yglesias, cenk uygur and Tiabbi must be absolutely inconsolable right now.

And I don't care (about them), do you?

Wheatpasting, yes!

I wonder how soon Li'l Marco's State Department will claim that the press reporting victories for Lula in Brazil and the Student List in Serbia are a deliberate attempt of "election interference" in the US o' A?

WTF is wrong with Nicki Minaj kissing up to the DementedOne? Does she need a pardon?

Am I wrong to assume she had some kind of traumatic brain injury?

Bradthe๐Ÿค–'s avatar

Sheโ€™s an ill eagle immygrant. Sheโ€™s worried her name will show up on Millerโ€™s shit list.

Mysterysurf's avatar

Both her husband and a brother have issues.

Our_Man_In_Redneckistan's avatar

Thereโ€™s a relative she doesnโ€™t want deported.

Enter Ranting's avatar

The one who's a pedophile?

Aquaman, Real Estate Investor.'s avatar

Yep.

Edit to add:

IIRC, she actually has two relatives, one is a child sex offender, the other only did sex crimes against adults.

She wants her husband to be able to actually enter the USA.

I think he's the adult sex criming one.

Irritate a fascist ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚sounds good to me!

The Wanderer's avatar

Belt sander equipped with coarsest-grade grit, applied to bare buttocks, sounds like a great irritant.

Hamilton & The Crew's avatar

I'm so tired of these incessant calls and texts reminding me to vote that I'm about ready to just shit. And I'm expecting a call so I can't turn my fucking phone off. Somebody just kill me now. I even have canvassers coming to my fucking door.

I already voted, you neanderthals!

Bradthe๐Ÿค–'s avatar

I report each one as spam, helping train the filters!

Hamilton & The Crew's avatar

I add the number to my block list.

EyeQueue's avatar

I wish a shitbag Republican canvasser would knock on my door. They'll get an earful.

Land Shark ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€โšง๏ธ's avatar

The republican rep candidate tried canvassing our neighborhood. After dealing with us, he went off to MAGA corner and hung out with the chuds.

The Wanderer's avatar

My beef is the number of ads on YT for people running who aren't in my district.

Land Shark ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€โšง๏ธ's avatar

For all the damn personal data they have on you, you'd THINK they might know your zip code.

wobbly's avatar

Put your "I voted!" sticker on your door.

Land Shark ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€โšง๏ธ's avatar

I prefer the automatic "shotgun racking a shell" sound effect the moment they approach the door.

Biff52 Lost Canadian's avatar

That sound! Even if you've never held a shotgun, you instinctively fear that sound.

I had to get rid of my 12 gauge when this depression went into high gear in the late 2010s.

Don't the political parties get the lists from the registrars of voters? Around here, the parties are allowed to see who voted, ie. the lists. They don't bother harassing people who have already voted.

VaselineHabits's avatar

Funny enough I got a text last week, "Thanks for voting, please take this survey" ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Sorry, not sorry. I dont trust any of these things anymore except what the actual numbers say after election day

Richard S's avatar

"How satisfied are you with the cleanliness of your voting location?"

Hamilton & The Crew's avatar

Well, they are bugging me. This is Phoenix after all.

Hamilton & The Crew's avatar

VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!

Vote like a pregnant mote!!

Bear is Under-Cubbed's avatar

My late-in-the-workday brain read this as "pregnant motel" (despite the lack of rhyme), which I suppose has a logic in it!

Why Iโ€™m voting Republican in November:

Not a SINGLE Democrat has admired a single ass and bragged about it.

satch's avatar

"It's why God created asses..."

Our_Man_In_Redneckistan's avatar

FAKE NEWS! Iโ€™m not actually a Democrat!

Hamilton & The Crew's avatar

Well, I have. Butt that's just me.

JustPixelz's avatar

That's a good point.

zuludaddy (seamonkey!)'s avatar

okay ugh, Monday ugh

nao you can relaaaaaaaax moar because yrrrr

smoking lamp is lit!

It's nice to see decency win. Let's all do what we can to do our part here in the USA!

Our_Man_In_Redneckistan's avatar

Plus Lulu is a goofy fucker. I find him kinda relatable.

Hamilton & The Crew's avatar

OT Observation: Trump is focusing on asses because his is under a diapered exoskeleton. He's constantly reminded about ass.

SethTriggs's avatar

Every moment he toddles around it probably sounds like someone crunching Triscuits.

Hamilton & The Crew's avatar

Shit. I can't count the times I go to the store to get a box of Wheat Thins and I come home with a box of Triscuits instead. It's a curse, I tell ya!

Cardboard is less expensive and healthier. The salt can kill me.

Biff52 Lost Canadian's avatar

I thought it was just me!

My tastes have changed. I used to love Triscuits beyond all reason. Even some of the flavored ones like black pepper and sea salt. But what I really want now is Wheat Thins. Accept no substitutes.

SethTriggs's avatar

Yeah best thing to do is get the flavored varieties or otherwise set it up as part of charcuterie.

Hamilton & The Crew's avatar

Gottdamn! I could use some cheese & biscuits right now. With a nice hot glass of chamomile tea! And summer sausage. MMM MMMM MMM! I want summer sausage! (Not a euphemism.)

Sk8erChoi's avatar

The way he wanders off and can't walk a straight line, I'd say he's got an exoskeleton powered by Waymo.

Nolan_Mark5 - ไป•ไบ‹ใฎ้ฌผ's avatar

Q:

Is it asses or diapered exoskeletons?

A:

ยฏ\_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

Depends

Our_Man_In_Redneckistan's avatar

Plus he hasnโ€™t seen one in 19 years.

satch's avatar

Dare we hope that American voters will be as smart as they were in Brazil? Or Serbia? Or Hungary?

TerseNurse's avatar

it doesn't take that much. a little over 48% of Brazilians voted for Flavio

42tontom's avatar

Have you been to the โ€œheartlandโ€ to mingle with the common clay?

Yes, and they ALL have those giant fucking trucks. So you know theyโ€™re noticing the gas prices going up and up.

I'm preparing myself for a 2016-style disappointment.

My cyanide capsule has not arrived yet.

EyeQueue's avatar

My disappointment was way worse in 2024. :(

Hamilton & The Crew's avatar

I was numb with depression in 2024. Maybe my depression is getting better or something. I have mixed feelings about this.

Enter Ranting's avatar

WAAAAAAAAAY worse.

Sk8erChoi's avatar

The way things are right now, Serbia and West Virginia might as well just switch sides on the Iron Curtain.

VaselineHabits's avatar

I wonder if Brazil or Serbia's current government was threatening voters and throwing them them off "eligibility"?

Or does that not happen in other countries?

satch's avatar

Bolsonaro:

"Threatening voters? What a great idea! Why didn't I think of that?"

Land Shark ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€โšง๏ธ's avatar

In Brazil, they tried by cancelling flights and buses to limit the voters from reaching the polls. Didn't seem to work.

Brazil also has an independent election commission. Many other countries as well.

Kid 'n Nipple-Play's avatar

I'm hoping that the majority are. And that the majority of Israeli voters are as well.

Thesaurus Wrecks 2547's avatar

As the Japanese sayโ€ฆBol-sayonar-o!

Saviour of Bread's avatar

@Daniel: which is worse, failing to defend 430, or allowing a 90 run tenth wicket partnership?

Bradthe๐Ÿค–'s avatar

We mostly speak โ€œEnglishโ€ around here. Sorry I donโ€™t understand.

Saviour of Bread's avatar

It is a quintessential English dilemma.

James's avatar

I know this is a cricket referenceโ€ฆ but I have NO idea what it means.

C&A Bongo Man's avatar

Yes. Both. Neither.

Probably the second, where they decided not bowling at the wickets was the best idea.

Saviour of Bread's avatar

Apologies, I didnโ€™t realise you were about. I stopped following the game yesterday when the 9th went down because even England . . . Never mind.
