This. Anyone involved with an MLM should be sent to prison, not made VP. I’ll allow Kelly to keep his senate seat, but that’s as far as he should go unless he promises he’s learned his lesson and commits to making MLMs illegal and also eliminating car dealerships. Because that’d show real commitment to destroying the real base of the Republican party.

Look, sometimes you just gotta tip your hat to... Joseph Stalin?

Seniority sucks.

"See Mr. Trump! I told you that I'd be just like you in every way! I even despise my children just like you despise yours!"

Peggy Noonan sucks and has always sucked.

I work with someone who is all in on RFK, Jr. She thinks he's only against dangerous untested vaccines. It's taking all of my self control not to forward her the latest Behind the Bastards episodes on him.

This behavior is the natural endpoint of TERFism.

This is one of those things they'll use to lock up black and brown women, while white women will never have to worry.

This is not the type of racism that helps in a general election. There's a reason Republicans spent decades coming up with all sorts of neutral-sounding euphemisms for the N word. Let's hope they keep this up.

I sure fucking hope not.

I’m pretty sure she stays at the hotel across the street from my office (not being more specific to make sure Icono doesn’t do anything stupid). Cops have the streets around it all closed right now.

Definitely not beating those illiteracy allegations any time soon.

That's pointless, because they won't let us set up shotgun traps BECAUSE OF WOKE!

I think it’s the dude who ran over his dog. What was his name?

It's incredibly funny to think that he might've thought this would go well because they fell for their own shitty push polls with insane cross tabs showing the biggest racial realignment in our country's history.

The thing about crimes punishable by the death penalty is that they have no statute of limitations on them because they shouldn't.

My two cents re the immigration talk: I agree with chainsaw in that I liked Beto's messaging better and the Dems behavior toward the border under Biden has been Dumb Politics by giving in to GOP framing on the issue. But I just don't really have a problem with Kamala picking up the "Trump is the one who fucked up immigration reform" message at this point. The sad fact is that even many Democratic voters are pretty low-key racist when it comes to immigration (because Dems have fucked the messaging on this so badly for so long). We've only got 100 days and we're not changing anyone's minds in that period. Saying "hey we had a solution and Trump fucked it up" and redirecting to other issues we're better on is the right politics right now. If we get a trifecta any immigration bill isn't going to be nearly as bad as what was agreed upon because Republicans won't have the leverage they had this year and it's known now that they don't believe in their own proposed solutions.

Beshear and Walz are 1a and 1b for me right now, with Shapiro well behind (though I'd still be fine with him, personally). I don't know this with any confidence, but I feel like Beshear can probably appeal to suburban/exurban and rural voters a little better than Walz can (tough I think Walz will be great at it, as far as Democrats can be). He's younger and that family photo could not possibly be more appealing to undecided voters who are somewhat racist but don't want to think of themselves as racist. Part of this is that I also think Beshear would also make a very strong future Presidential candidate, but he's term limited where he's at and running for Senate would be a step sideways at best. Walz seems like he rules, but he doesn't have the same political potential that Beshear has. But what the fuck do I know, I'd be extremely happy with either of them as the VP pick.

And the thing is that if you're a conservative who doesn't want your kid exposed to what you consider degenerate content, this is exactly the type of thing you should tell your kid about something like this. That's boring and they'll just go "huh, ok" and forget about it. But if you get angry and start ranting about how it's filthy and they're not allowed to see it, what the fuck do you think they're going to want to do?

No way Kelly's would stay that high with the public attention a VP nod would get him.

The funniest and most inexplicable fucking thing is how many Americans clearly see and have seen how weird and offputting the rest of the GOP is, but don't see Trump as weird and offputting the same way the others are.

AOC and Bernie get this. Shitposters do not.

Talking shit about Simone Biles should be considered treason and punishable by death.
