I'd have old Biden over any of the parade of authoritarian assclowns the Republicans would offer. And don't get me started on those third party wankers.
I remember the whole school being evacuated and us all standing around outside due to a bomb threat, back when I was in 7th or 8th grade in the mid 1950s.
This article from The Daily Beast made me so mad I dropped my gefilte fish and muttered "Oy Vey!"
"FOX NEWS STAR: BLACK PEOPLE WILL VOTE FOR TRUMP BECAUSE 'THEY LOVE SNEAKERS'
Leaning especially hard into well-worn racial stereotypes, Fox News pundit Raymond Arroyo this week insisted Black Americans will support Donald Trump in this presidential election because “they love sneakers.”
MSNBC ran the clip. Embarrassing to watch, the anchor should have hit him with a super blaster water pistol to shut him up. Yes, even she looked somewhat appalled.
Watch, next week Trump will start selling watermelons and fried chicken. Then in November, these Fox News people will sit around wondering why Tim Scott was the only Black person that voted for Trump.
At least I have recovered enough to be able to sleep at night, and only wake up irate part of the time. For the first few months, after 11-9- 2016, I was a zombie and if I slept I kept hoping when I woke up , I'd find out all this had not happenned.
I will be so mad forever. One, I have no religious so I don't see why these people think I have to follow them. Two, they can't answer why an embryo is a "person" but an already born woman is not.
A religion has no valid claim to demand obedience from people who aren’t members, and that includes members of other religions. A fundamentalist Christian who claims a right to discriminate against LGBTQ people might object to a fundamentalist Hindu claiming a right to discriminate against meat-eaters.
If a fetus is a person, and a pregnancy is threatening the life of the mother, wouldn’t an abortion just be self-defense? And in states where you can shoot someone for threatening your property, wouldn’t an abortion be valid under the theory that the fetus is threatening your financial wellbeing (I have kids, and they certainly do threaten your financial wellbeing)?
"Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) expressed no interest in being former President Donald Trump’s vice president during a call with supporters on Wednesday, according to multiple reports.
In the half-hour call, DeSantis also reportedly opined that it would be a “mistake” for Trump to consider “identity politics” when he eventually picks a running mate, according to The New York Times and NBC News, which obtained recordings of the call.
“Now, we have a diverse Republican Party. I want everybody in the fold, don’t get me wrong. But I don’t want people representing 10, 15% of the party being in the driver’s seat,” DeSantis said, per NBC News."
DeSantis can’t run with PAB unless one of them changes his state of residence, according to the 12th Amendment. Then again, the Republicans might overlook that part of the constitution.
I guess that would eliminate Byron Donalds, too. My guess, though, is that's its down to Noem or Scott, although I could see the shoe salesman pulling a "Chris Christie" on Scott.
I just got done spending 6 weeks, about 15 hours spread over that time, pulling a fire permit for a corporate event on Disney property.
Disney's always been a pain in the ass, but at least they delivered. I've always had to let them do everything their way, and as I've always said, "At Disney, everything is an illusion. Including the service."
But now that DeSantos has replaced the Reedy Creek Improvement District (Disney's weird private local government entity) with the "Central Florida Tourism Oversight District" run by his cronies, their system is broken. Something that used to take me a couple hours max., is now such an ordeal I've already turned down a couple gigs on Disney property later this year.
Which is, of course, what DeSantos wants. I hate to give in. But my clients don't want to pay me the additional money I need to bill to jump through these ridiculous hoops.
I pull fire permits all the time, all over the country. Clark County, NV used to be the most annoying process. Those were innocent times.
The personnel and the actual Fire Marshals are fine. I get along with them great. I know what they want. My diagrams all show what they want. The actual setup matches the diagram to the inch. We're golden. But man, getting through the process to get to that point is uckfayed beyond belief. And it's not accidental.
“Something about the way he never stops crying and openly identifies as a Nazi has really struck a chord with the GOP rank and file. They see a lot of themselves in Finley when he blubbers and gives his weak little ‘Sieg heil’ salutes.”
Who was it who had the stats on the numbers of the women who were getting fertilized via IVF? Some 92% of women using that method were White?
And in 2020, the number of White women voting for Donald Trump went UP, not down ...?
Was it Portia?
Yes, it was. Here it is
"92% of those using IVF to conceive are White. The majority of White women vote Republican and have for 60 years. Increased for Trump 2016-2020. Keep bringing the consequences of your actions on yourselves."
Article in WaPo about Kamala yesterday, and how she is an asset to Biden's campaign.
(Almost fainted, the WaPo does not seem at all like the paper I used to read.)
I commented I firmly believe Harris has gotten all that shit because she is the first female VP.
And she's black. 64 likes so far, I was surprised.
If Joe Biden for some reason can't make it to election day, it would be a travesty if Kamala Harris wasn't given the nod.
And Biden's superb staff would give her any help she needed, but I would have complete confidence in her.
I'd have old Biden over any of the parade of authoritarian assclowns the Republicans would offer. And don't get me started on those third party wankers.
In the meantime, they've just evacuated everyone from Queens College in NYC due to a bomb threat. Lovely world we live in.

Feeling nostalgic.
I remember the whole school being evacuated and us all standing around outside due to a bomb threat, back when I was in 7th or 8th grade in the mid 1950s.
We were so avant guarde.
Some dumbass probably thought it was like clown college, only for drag queens.
OF COURSE....
"Embryos, to me, are babies," former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley told NBC.
A mild cranial emission shortly thereafter:
"I didn’t say that I agreed with the Alabama ruling," Haley told CNN.
Nikki effed around and got schooled in the same news cycle.
I like that she's staying in, essentially just to troll PAB and lay groundwork for 2028. But I have to shake my head at how BAD she is at this.
This is from the same woman who said that slavery didn't cause the Civil War and then backtracked like 5 minutes later.
She's already backtracking. Too late, Nikki, except maybe in your state.
You wacky assholes keep messing with women, families and kids.
We'll thank you after the election.
ETA: I realize the wrong people could read this wrong. I mean this from a supporting women's rights sort of way.
Watch her numbers go up as she does more of this.

Somewhat.
Did they steal that from The Onion?

I knew 2 Blacks for PAB guys. Both were religious wackos
"I don't understand. I thought they all knew each other."
I am gong to go open a bottle of beer now, but not before stopping and SMASHING a few empty ones into the garage recycling bin in blistering rage.
I am sick to gawd damned death of these bigoted fucking filth.
No mention of fried chicken and watermelon?
"Would you like 'Burnt' or 'Raw'?"
They'll never win over the Black vote because they can't barbeque worth shit.
I don't think I've stopped being mad since 2016.
I'd really like to breathe and relax sometime in the next decade.
At least I have recovered enough to be able to sleep at night, and only wake up irate part of the time. For the first few months, after 11-9- 2016, I was a zombie and if I slept I kept hoping when I woke up , I'd find out all this had not happenned.
Yeah, wish it was a nightmare. Worst nightmare I ever had until Trump started his four years.

I don't think it was. I think they'd have voted to do it anyway.
That's just insanely ridiculous now.
Might still do it anyway.
When confronted with the news the Fibbie informant was a fake, Jim Jordan said,
"Well, that doesn't change the facts!" What facts?
I will be so mad forever. One, I have no religious so I don't see why these people think I have to follow them. Two, they can't answer why an embryo is a "person" but an already born woman is not.
What's the point of even being religious if I can't force it upon you and tell you what God says?
A religion has no valid claim to demand obedience from people who aren’t members, and that includes members of other religions. A fundamentalist Christian who claims a right to discriminate against LGBTQ people might object to a fundamentalist Hindu claiming a right to discriminate against meat-eaters.
I do have a religion, and I still think they are nuts.
Exactly right.
I'd like to see one of those people actually have the guts to say, "Let's pass a law that says we can get rid of the female ones."
They're going to need objects to fuck and make them sandwiches, so until Elon perfects the robots, they're going to need women as chattel.
I'm honestly surprised that stem cells haven't come up again.
Wait till they learn about... Well, anything to do with tissue engineering or synthetic biology.
They'll lose their tiny minds.
since the Discovery Institute came up earlier, they're currently losing their minds over systems chemistry and origin of life-research.
If a fetus is a person, and a pregnancy is threatening the life of the mother, wouldn’t an abortion just be self-defense? And in states where you can shoot someone for threatening your property, wouldn’t an abortion be valid under the theory that the fetus is threatening your financial wellbeing (I have kids, and they certainly do threaten your financial wellbeing)?
Ah, but that's assuming the WOMAN is a person with rights.

Yes, it’s only “identity politics” when someone condemns bigotry or suggests that women, minorities and LGBTQ are people too.

I wanted to see Disney trick DeSantis onto the Small World ride, where he would be tied down and forced to hear that song for hours on end.
EFF HIM.
“Diverse racists of all ages”
DeRacist is full of this "diverse" party shit.
I was thinking more along the lines of Tim Scott.

Isn’t that basically PABOTUS?

Hope lots of those women are paying attention to what VP Harris has to say today ...
Problem is these Trumpy white women will never believe anything bad will ever happen to THEM.
They will want to talk to the manager
I'm not talking about them
I'm talking about the supposed "persuadables"

I think individual ladies should have rights too.
Team lady wrongs also, too!
