Calling a man "Lady" is only an insult if the caller despises women and thinks they are loathsome and automatically inferior to all men. In other words, the caller is a bigot.
A few months ago I would have said no to the question "can a democrat win against _" fill in the blank for whatever deep republican strong hold gerried out the wazoo.
But then that Texas special happened, and that one in Florida, and even Empty's seat, while not won, came surprisingly close considering there are like five democrats even in her district.
When I saw the pic at the top and read the headline, I braced for some sort of smear campaign orchestrated by the Graham campaign with sordid accusations.
I lived in South Carolina for a few months to help my dad in hospice. Near my short-term rental, there was a gun shop with a big Trump flagged vehicle in the lot for advertising. Also in the lot was a big digital sign that advertised sales. One day I drove by and that sign said, "Flamethrowers back in stock." It was the word "back" that kind of got me wondering just how many flamethrowers were already out there in the hands of the locals. I found SC to be a very different place, churches absolutely EVERYWHERE and most people I met were very into hierarchies and "people knowing their place." The South had a reputation for hospitality but after how those states and their people acted during COVID, I am no longer convinced. Love thy neighbor? I heard a lot of Christianity down there but I just didn't see any of that. Had an Uber driver yell at me for saying that I preferred higher taxes and more government services like where I normally live. Frothing at my preferences, he was. I also was amazed to hear blatant antisemitism on local radio, like weird Rabbi characters doing film reviews and stuff, pitched as comedy but just derogatory stereotypes really. Tours of Charleston glorifying militarism and downplaying slavery. In the end, I was glad to know so clearly that SC was not where I belonged.
Come ON, South Carolina, it is 160+ YEARS past time you need to pull your heads out of the ass of the Confederacy and join the 21st century. You got that hate-flag taken down; now continue the Lord's good works by voting this Graham Cracker out.
there's no such thing as amorality
Forget it Jake, it's South fucking Carolina.

"sexennial" makes me think of a Millennial pleasure worker.
I apologize for the observation.🙇♂️
Ta, Dok. Yes, I would LOVE to hear a concession speech from Graham the Cracker.

So the no has become a ...maybe?

Whew.

There are Christians and then there are HYPOchristians. Guess which group is the loudest.
'although the Washington Post (that’s a gift link) chickened out on saying “warboner.”
Does "warection" work?
Warwangering!
It would be really bad if Iranian hackers shared what they found with the Dem campaigns.
It'd scar the psyches of readers for life.
....bring it on if it causes him to lose an election, tho.

Just yesterday I was asking here about Lindsey. I was told he's looking for his bubble wand.
He was picking ladybugs offa thangs....
DOJ is changing the classification of marijuana. Sometimes I forget that the government is still running, at least on some level.
In college once time ( I lie. More than 1.) A couple guys went to find 'Heysus'.
That's Jesus in Spanish. They did not at all seem particularly religious, but whatever.
They came back late, higher than a kite.
Jesus was their pot dealer.
Jesus is the neighbor who mows my lawn and takes out my garbage. I'm glad I found him. My street is much better now that I'm the only white one left.

NEW THREAD! NEW THREAD! The last time hours passed this slow I was visiting the NICU.
If today's blog went any slower, it'd be yesterday's?
My dudes, we read this blog way too many times a day!
