Ta, MM. As always, it's a great service to those of us who don't watch TV. We started canvassing for upstate Democratic candidates in the nearest small town yesterday. We shall continue today, after errands. We made sure everyone we spoke to knows that the last date to register is the 24th of this month, which is when early voting starts. We shall both do our civic duty, as we do in each and every election, each and every year. Yes, we're voting a straight Democratic ticket (although I frequently choose Working Families Party on the ballot), as we always do. When we vote, we WIN!!
So a CBS correspondent who is overtly, transparently partisan, even unto congratulating planted political operatives, is instantly rehabilitated by issuing a simple apology, "I'm sorry. That I was caught". Ya think Bari would be so magnanimous if a similar transgression were made by a liberal reporter on behalf of John Ossoff? Ya think you'd be able to shut up any MAGA or republican or "centrist" asswipes - like Scott M*****F*****G Jennings or David M*****F*****G Brooks of all people - about rampant "liberal media bias" for the next year if it had happened that other way?
Abdul is even more genuine in person. He's been up here to Cheboygan twice, spoke at the No Kings in Petoskey on Saturday, and I had a couple substantive conversations with him when he was here. Fuck Mike Rogers, fuck Elon Musk, fuck the entire disreputable Republican Party and all their ilk!...
refresh my memory, did Jan or anyone at See B.S. get hot and bothered when Collins in Georgia refused to dis-avow a Nazi who literally lives in his house?
OT but apropos of Nice Times, I just got an email from LinkedIn with the subject "Barack Obama, President of the United States of America, is popular in your network."
Two things: 1) If only he were still POTUS; and b) I knew I chose my network wisely. :D
Note the way that the MSM segments of the rightwing media human centipede framed Dr. El-Sayed's proper response to that paid shill. Now think about the millions of normie voters that carry that framing.
El-Sayed HAS to win or that's going to open the floodgates for even more vile sadopopulism. There would be no defense for it.
How I feel about the campaigning in Texas, ALL the ads for the Dems saying something like, "Spent/Approved tax payer money for sex changes! Everyone is friends with pedophiles!"
OT ish
I live in a light red ditrict. GOP dude must be absolutely shitting his pants based on the volume and insanity of the adds he's running everywhere.
Good
No complaints here
Tommy, a tenth point for being honest about writing your xtian doctrine into law. Minus ten thousand for wanting to do so.

Good piece by Amanda Marcotte on why the GOP is scared of El-Sayed (and it's not MUSLIN, EEEK!!)

“Diatribe”? That polite, patient take-down was a diatribe? Do these arrogant fucks think we can’t see or hear them?
It's one of those irregular verbs: I declaim, you diatribe.
I for one welcome our new Muslim Socialist overlords.
Yeah, about this traitorous Republican asshat:

The master class that El-Sayed gave in the art of the clapback is the only kind of public execution I want to see.

He's the real.deal, that's for sure.
Slightly OT, but I just have to say, I've been having so much fun traveling around and voting this election season!
I hope Little Dog is registered this time.

I guess we could normalize asking Christian candidates if they disavow the Klan.
We need to ask EVERY candidate that question EVERY debate... until it is no longer necessary.
Jon Ossoff did. Publicly. During a debate.
Of course the Klansman wouldn't disavow it
Exactly... we've got some great reps that are trying to hold their feet to the fire.

And that's a reflection of a hateful electorate. They wouldn't do that if it didn't work.
Shouldn't be allowed, IMO.
Our 1A is trash for protecting lies. It's pure trash, IMO.
Fuck this shit. People GET KILLED over this shit.
There should at least he some sort of penalties for openly lying to the American public, especially if you're in a position of power.
We've let them get away with it for far too long
Yep. This right here.
OT

Catchy!

Oaky butter?
I assumed, given all the geographical references, it was Okie butter.
