good ol' Martha couldn't be bothered to ask the followup question, "How many embryos did YOUR family destroy in their quest to have a child through IVF? you realize anyone who uses IVF will create and probably destroy one or many more embryos in their treatment." And see that ol' white haired fly attracting MF-er squirm. They all need to be asked this. cuz, according to their "faith" they are baby k#llers and should be made to admit it. In public on the airwaives. Can't have it both ways.

"Is we is, or is we ain't?" Can you name the movie?

Allow me to sympathize, Michael.

I walked into first grade, and Sister Mary Andrew said, "What's your name?"

I said, "Dan."

She pointed at a chair and said, "Okay, Dannie, you can sit there."

Guess what I was until I started public high school in ninth grade?

"ROUNDS: What I have said is, is, Tim Scott was my first choice. I thought he'd make a great president." Enough said.

I assume Rounds has met Tim's girlfriend. The Canadian one.

It IS a binary choice. And they’re going with the fascism option. Fuckers.

When it comes to Mikes, some, I assume, are good people.

I bet. Seems like all the Mikes I meet are pretty cool and all the Mikes who go into politics (Flynn, DeWine, Johnson, Pence, Turner, Rounds, Lee) are pretty shitty.

"It becomes a binary choice. Either you want to continue with the economic policies that we have got today, or you move back into a position where we actually don't have the world on fire and where our economy is moving forward. […]"

Why do none of these worthless pundits ask a follow-up, such as, HOW is the world on fire? What is so bad about the economy and what do you think should be done differently? Make them defend these bullshit statements! They want us to believe that 4 years ago was all rainbows and puppies instead of the hellscape that was COVID with 14% unemployment and the many GOP fuck ups that got a million Americans killed. But no, these comments just waft on by without being challenged. If you're going to insist on having only Republicans on these shows, actually ask them a question worth asking!

FFS it is so frustrating and mind-numbing. Sorry, needed to vent.

Yeah, I agree. My first thought was to ask a follow-up like, "So this 'moving forward' you speak of ... that would not be, for example [and then list the accomplishments of Biden on the economy -- low unemployment, economic growth, lower inflation -- basically all the ways it's improved since 2020 and compare that to 2020 numbers] ... because that is the current state of the economy and how it's changed since 2020, so that would definitely not be what you mean by 'moving forward.' Correct?" And then watch him try to word salad his way out of that one.

If the talking head did that, they'd be gone. Stating the facts of the Biden administration would be a clear indication of liberal bias, and that's about the worst thing you can say about a talking head.

"Ohio Republican Governor Mike DeWine has a checkered political past."

It remains pretty checkered.

Someone should just ask him straight out if any of his "children" were killed as a result of his wife's "fertility treatments" and who believes should go to prison for their murder?

And as predicted, Republicans are coming around to the "I literally cannot admit that I support Trump but it's more important that my side win than anything else"

Just an inconsequential teacher with an English degree here, and I am constantly pissed off by the inarticulateness of the ruling class. So, like, have. you, like, listened to, like, a musk interview lately? His inherited bucks combined with a bit of compassion and vocabulary could do wonders for the World. Instead we "got" him.

"I'm a Republican. I certainly will do that."

Living in an ultramarine area of a blue state, I was stunned in 2004 to learn that a colleague had voted for George W. Bush. I wasn't restrained in my reaction, but when I calmed down and asked her why, she replied, as if this adequately explained everything, "Because we're Republicans."

For whom, obviously, party takes precedence over country.

"Because my father was a Republican". From a female correctional officer, as they like to be called. About as good as "it's the way it's always been done".

"Mickey-mike" used to be a term used by electrical engineers.

Not sure how that is relevant.
