The Greens and all these other parties should - in addition to running someone nationally just to get the party advertised out there - really concentrate on winning some small local races, first.

That's certainly what they should do if they are interested in building a real popular base for socialism/social democracy.

On the other hand, just acting as a spoiler for the national Dems is easier and more fun.

We should tell him that passing it means that he is qualified to stand trial.

See also Real Housewives of Atlanta felon, and MLK niece, Angela Stanton-King.

She is a single issue 'Save the Babies' candidate because there is no other part of Trump's record she can use to appeal to the district's mostly black voters.

I wonder how many days between RNC finding out about John Lewis's pancreatic cancer, and Trump pardoning her for 'reasons'.

this is what happens when the world stops paying enough attention to crazy narcissists who are so thirsty for any kind of attention that they'll do increasingly crazier and crazier things to try to get any little bit of people talking abou them. this applies to kanye and trump

As an Australian who knows wombats are pretty lovable, I feel sure no wombat would be caught dead as Rachel George's pet, unless maybe it's a pedophile wombat immortal on adrenochrome that was instrumental in bringing Covid-19 to the human population because paid by Soros.

I loathe, detest, and despise that untalented turd West. And I knew from the start that Trump's people were behind his fake run for president.

“Trump does think Black voters are pretty fucking stupid, though.”

It’s so normal when the current President pseudo-endorses someone else running for President technically against him.

You know what? I think that Kanye will end up taking votes away from Trump. Especially from Black people who voted for Trump.

"wombats are pretty lovable"

Only if you don't go near them. They're actually fighty little bastards, especially as teenagers, and would make terrible pets. On the other hand, no animal deserves to be owned by sociopathic idiots, not even a brick with legs*

*I love them, I really do. I just don't think anyone should own them

If a singer performs a line really well, with a pitch issue on one out of several dozen notes, is it better to have him/her redo the entire phrase, or tweak it slightly to make a good take great?

I mean, where do you draw the line? Reverb and delay smooth out vocal issues in similar ways, and nobody ever complains about those tools. I use a fucktonne more reverb and delay (and compression, EQ, etc..) than I use AutoTune.

It's a tool in the toolbox, and I'd be willing to bet that if you listened to that album 1000 times, you'd never even have a clue where those 3 autotuned spots were.
