Q: Why shouldn't Alaskans find it insulting that the administration is suggesting they can't read the word 'incumbent' on their ballot and know to vote for Sen. Sullivan?
JD VANCE: People are busy. People have lives. People have jobs.
I can't read the ballot right in front of my face, in this voting booth, that I came to, specifically, to cast my vote! What, you think I have time for that?
Alaska has ranked-choice voting -- couldn't people just make sure they're ranking all three choices in front of the scary democrat lady or is that too hard?
Last few years I kinda lost track of shit. So I'm not gonna renew my credit card on shit I don't want anymore. Maybe pare down a service or two. So if you don't hear from me for a day or two, probably some Bot has me tied up in the basement. Do I even have a basement?
They don't still torture, do they? Probably Russian Bots do. Damn Putin.
BTW: if the Coalition of Change does win (Please, God!), there will be some right-wingers in the government. Just like in Hungary. But there’s a hell of a big difference between right-wing democrats like Bennett and Liberman, and the fascists, religious fanatics, and Qatari spies in the current regime. Before I hear “Oh, the new PM is just as bad as Bibi!” No.
This tone-deaf buffoon could be bound with wire to a wooden hurdle and dragged towards a horrible death and display of his mutilated corpse and he still wouldn't understand that "the little people" are pretty pissed...
OT : I have to get this of my chest. This is in response to a documentary about polarization. If you think trickle down economics works you are dumb. If you think housing undocumented children in jails with horrific conditions is ok, you are a BAD person. This is why I can't make peace with the right. They are in fact bad people.
OT: reports coming from news outlets in Israel and from my friends are saying that voter turnout is incredibly high-the highest in the last 50 years, in fact. This is very good news-the current government slithered into power mainly because of low turnout four years ago. I’m cautiously optimistic that the Government of Destruction is on its way out.
That is good news. I don't see peace happening in Israel with Netanyahu / Likud remaining in power. Both them and Hamas need to be kept away from any political power whatsoever.
It seems that citizens all over the world are fed up with the authoritarian governments. I read about the Knesset and how members are not really elected, but are appointed by the party that won the seats. Maybe Israelis should take a look at that in today's world.
When Israel was a new country with a small population, this mechanism of elected officials made sense. Now Israel is a more populous nation and should have representation of the citizens.
I feel that a change in the representation in the Knesset would usher in new, different parties. I do admit that until this week, I didn't (couldn't) understand how so many Knesset members, who are at odds with much of the Israeli population, could remain. Now I know.
It’s proportional representation-whatever percentage of the vote you get, that’s the percentage of Knesset seats that you get. 2022 was a low-turnout election, so the small number of fascist and ultra-Orthodox fanatic votes were over-represented.
Teh DEATH COVIDS FLUS has still got me knocked flat on my back in bed.
Don't feel as hot burning up feverish though now. But damn! It feels like living under 2G, my bones and body are soo heavy it takes monumental effort to move.
When I was a kid, we threw pennies into hot asphalt in front of a steamroller.
They thought it was funny, then someone started throwing in rocks and pop bottles. They got pissy and called the cops. We scattered like rats with a cat.

Todd Blanche is to Trump as Nikolai Krylenko was to Stalin.
May Blanche wind up the way Krylenko did...

Nope, with Lapdog Todd running the DOJ, this is now SOP.

And you strike out on all three counts there J.D.
Sort-of on-topic: I saw an “86/47” bumper sticker on a car the other day.
It was written like the AC/DC logo, the slash being a lightning bolt, etc. Pretty neat!
8 days to go folks...if you haven't cast your ballot yet please vote like your life depends on it.
Because this time...IT REALLY DOES!!!!!!
Le Chat is gone! Did we hit a milestone?
Whoop, new one up. Something about the Moors. Or the Moops, perhaps?
I did feel a bump. Check if we hit something.
I want that Wonkitty on a T-shirt!
YASSSSSS! Me also too. On a long sleeved cotton tee.
Yay us, maybe?

This lapsed Catholic prays for the citizens of Israel to have a government that represents them.

Wouldn't that require Israel and its Muslim neighbors to work together? Money and influence flow across those borders seemingly unrestricted.
Yes, it would.
It seems that citizens all over the world are fed up with the authoritarian governments. I read about the Knesset and how members are not really elected, but are appointed by the party that won the seats. Maybe Israelis should take a look at that in today's world.
When Israel was a new country with a small population, this mechanism of elected officials made sense. Now Israel is a more populous nation and should have representation of the citizens.
I’ve been thinking that, myself. It would probably mean the end of some of the small parties, and severely weaken the religious parties.

I approach these things with "hope and feel good about it" now. Dejection can happen when the time comes and not before.

Daily Reminder: Laura Loomer is still a raging piece of shit.
Why hasn't she found her perfect Aryan soulmate/locksmith partner?
She hasn't started her new gig yet?
In other news, water is still wet.
A shondeh fahr de Goyim.
She attacked Amy Acton as lying about her rape by her stepfather.
Her and Megyn Kelly should be airdropped onto the Pacific Garbage patch.
Drop ‘em in the South Pacific with a rubber raft, and tell them, “Go find Amelia Earhart!” Give ‘em something useful to do.
Through a spokesdiaper, the Pacific Garbage Patch said: "Hey, even we have standards!"
I wish she would handcuff herself to a large, moving object. I would watch and give a 👍🏼.
I wish she were stuck in wet concrete in front of a steamroller a la Fish Called Wanda
