“It's never the Republicans who ever bring up race."
I remember when the Republicans never called Vice President Harris a "DEI hire" and said she was lying about being a black woman. They would never do that!
[...]and also because it was proof that Democrats support segregation, according to one of the Five, a guy named “Tyrus” who I know nothing about, but he was mad about it all.

Before I get to my main point, I need to address all of those Republicans and conservatives criticizing Democrats for having “segregated” fundraisers for Kamala Harris. When both your party membership and party leadership reflect the diversity of America, you can hold fundraisers called “White Dudes for Harris” or “Win with Black Women” and nobody thinks you’re racist. When your party could fit all of the Black Women for Trump on an iPhone merge call, you can’t.
Democrats celebrate our diversity. Republicans expect minorities to fall in line and assimilate into what they perceive as the dominant (i.e., white) culture. That’s the difference.
Did Jesse Watter's scientist once work at MIT and was the uncle of someone who is (allegedly) famous? If men who vote for women transition into women is a nationwide lesbian/trans apocalypse coming? What happens to men who vote for men? So many questions!
What happens to *women* who vote for *men*? I'm a cis woman, and I've voted for men, and I don't THINK I transitioned into a man but should I be worried??
Even for Jesse Watters, that was a *dumb* statement.
The chapter on Cheever is by far the best, probably because his tormented private life and slyly off-kilter fiction best suit the book’s procedures. For one thing, we forget the slightly hammy nature of Webb’s more novelistic mode when he’s bringing us, for instance, Cheever’s morning routine of taking the lift, freshly suited among other office workers in his block, only to descend to the basement and strip to his undershorts to hammer out his latest New Yorker tale. Or take the moment when he’s at a Broadway performance of Streetcar, watching Jessica Tandy play Blanche as she discovers her husband’s desire for another man – all the while nursing his own private desires, sitting beside his wife, pregnant with their second child
So, having reconsiderd my well-considerd choice of Mitt Romney for VP, either party, doesn't matter --- I do by (doo-be-doo-be-doo) hereby throw my complete support behind --- DAN QUAYLE (either party, doesn't matter).
Obviously Romney is the only smart choice now that Lieberman is dead? Though I'm not sure how they determined that Lieberman is dead since he's looked that way for some time now.
"Gentle reader, I really did watch the rest of the segment to see if he came anywhere close to explaining that thing about voting turning men into women. He did not."
Is it irony that the people with racism in their hearts have the most trouble understanding what it is? Harris has the opportunity to truly reach and unite all kinds of people and communities. If she stays tirelessly optimistic and talks only of hope and “turning the page” to a “new era” of American prosperity and unity, she’s SOOOO got this. Let Trump twist in the toxic wind and negativity. He’s going down and she’s going up.

Now, back to our regularly scheduled blog.

"“According to them, everything's gender-fluid..."
"when a man votes for a woman, he actually transitions into a woman.”
Make up your minds, assholes, is gender immutable or is it not?
It's very telling that the worst threat this troglodyte could come up with is "lady parts, because EWWWW ICK!!"
So Dems are "not the party of virtue." Odd. I was under the impression that trump was not particularly virtuous.
Repub family values must refer to the trump family.
I voted for Hillary in 2016. Does this mean I should be worried about Jesse Watters letting the air out of my tires?
Apparently it means you've been a woman since 2016. Odd that no one noticed, isn't it?
Also, why is being a woman inherently distasteful? I'm one and I like it just fine. Of course, I also have cats.
I just wish someone had told me. I'm sure I've violated all sorts of public restroom laws.
Ta, Dok. I only know who Jesse Watters is because of Wonkette.
What happens when a woman votes for a man? Do we get to jump the line for the bathroom?
ding ding ding🛎️🛎️🛎️ Best question of the day!
Please... after you.
Huh. I thought this show was called "Die Fünfen"?
A comma would make all the difference.
(For those knot in the know, die and dei pronounce differently auf Deutsch.)
( in German, Emphasis on second vowel )
InjUre man?
not a clue...
Jesse Watters almost makes J.D. Vance seem urbane and cool by comparison.
Further below the belt than that I cannot get.
As long as you're still above the knee.
Jesus, these people are children with the mentalities of school yard bullies.

I guess this is the right place for this. These men didn' turn into women.

Thank you. Wow.
I guess that's what his scientist is for. Odd that he didn't name that scientist.
Odd indeed. Very strange comment.

Also, the Repubs really are weird. And in an attractive way.
