  1. A trumper fellating Farrakhan. What a world.
  2. "Marjorie Taylor Greene points to 'common ground' between GOP and Nation of Islam." Wrong - Nation of Islam is non-violent when contrasted with today's GOP.
  3. I am long hydrogen and MSR reactors. On the storage side, we need to start choosing and building.
  4. How does one get lower than Larry Summers? Come to University of Austin and find out!
  5. Impotent grifting deserves a school song:
  6. "WE ARE DONE WAITING FOR THE LEGACY UNIVERSITIES TO RIGHT THEMSELVES. AND SO WE ARE BUILDING ANEW." — PANO KANELOS, FOUNDING PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF AUSTIN (emphasis in original). https://www.uaustin.org/
  7. . . . and deserves all the simping she receives. Gen X's Doris Day.
  8. She should shut the fuck up. Sounds like she may need more correction than a minimum security facility can offer in order for her to understand the magnitude of her crime.
  9. Can you find the flawed logic in your statement?
  10. Agree. As an alternative, perhaps send her to MCC-New York and she can solve the J. Epstein suicide.
  11. She wants to be at BOP Bryan. https://www.bop.gov/locations/institutions/bry/index.jsp I would put her at ADX Florence https ://www.bop.gov/locations/institutions/bry/index.jsp. She's got that aggy hive mind bereft of wisdom that requires monitoring. She needs to be scared straight.
  12. It's not unusual for a performer to control audience problems; don't know why Scott didn't stop.
  13. Kyrsten Sinema already ahead of you.
  14. Terry McAuliffe was a terrible centrist candidate. Progressives told you up front. Hopefully that is the last of the FOB's and their Third Way centrism. It doesn't work.
  15. Her voice would cure overpopulation.
  16. Progressives - keep this quiet. Don't want to worry suburban women while they brunch: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/nov/06/democrats-election-victory-loss-media-republicans?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other As for this week’s election, it swept in a lot of progressive mayors of color. The most prominent was Michelle Wu, who won the Boston mayor’s seat as the first woman and first person of color. Elaine O’Neal will become Durham, North Carolina’s, first Black woman mayor, and Abdullah Hammoud will become Dearborn’s first Muslim and Arab American mayor. Aftab Pureval will become Cincinnati’s first Asian American mayor. Pittsburgh elected its first Black mayor, and so did Kansas City, Kansas. Cleveland’s new mayor is also Black. New York City elected its second Black Democratic mayor, and Shahana Hanif became the first Muslim woman elected to the city council (incidentally, New York City and Virginia have about the same population). In Seattle, a moderate defeated a progressive, which you could also phrase as a Black and Asian American man defeated a Latina. A lot of queer and trans people won elections, or in the case of Virginia’s Danica Roem, the first out trans person to win a seat in a state legislature, won reelection. In Philadelphia, Larry Krasner, who in 2017 was the first of a wave of ultra-progressive district attorneys to take office across the country, swept to a second term with 69% of the vote. “I want to congratulate him. He beat my pants off,” said his Republican rival. In Cleveland, Austin, Denver and Albany, citizens voted in police-reform measures, and while a more radical measure in Minneapolis lost, it got a good share of votes. 2021 wasn’t a great election year for Democrats but it’s not hard to argue that it wasn’t a terrible one, and either way it just wasn’t a big one, with a handful of special elections for congressional seats, some state and local stuff, and only two gubernatorial elections. It is true that the Democratic Party is large and chaotic with a wide array of political positions among its elected officials, which is what happens when you’re a coalition imperfectly representing a wide array of voters, by class, race, and position from moderate to radical on the political spectrum. It’s also true the US is a two-party system and the alternative at present is the Republican party, which is currently a venal and utterly corrupt cult bent on many kinds of destruction. It’s the party whose last leader, with the help of many Republicans still in Congress, produced a violent coup in an attempt to steal an election. A friend who is an independent Democratic party organizer remarked to me: “Democrats are analyzed completely differently from Republicans, mainly because Democrats try to govern and to enact policies that affect the entire country. The media don’t cover the fact that Republicans don’t govern and can’t seem to report on what a party doesn’t do and doesn’t talk about.” Looming in the background, of course, is the fact that Republicans themselves believe they are losers, because they’ve hitched their wagon to the shrinking demographic of angry white suburban and rural voters. Their efforts to suppress votes and undermine voting rights, control or replace election officials, gerrymander like crazy and overturn election results are the moves of a party that doesn’t believe Republicans can win fair elections.
  17. Sprawling, preposterous, and rage-filled suburban drama. ~Virginia Gubernatorial Election, 2021

  19. the absolute worst
  20. Wasn't shitting on you. Those are progressive ideas. Status quo is not working for the majority.
