  1. "The News" ... "Pregnant man gives birth - that's a fact. Shakira shreds Barbie - that's a fact ..."
  2. It's been this way for a while, but there has definitely been a continuing slide. Everything is aimed at riling up the base - for example: Click on the link and it tones it down to: Does the base understand the difference between SS / Medicare (which they undoubtedly rely on) and the "welfare" programs that they get spittin' mad about? Hell no. To make matters worse, you have to "join Fox News" to even get to the content anymore. No worries - most folks just memorize the headlines and regurgitate them. We're soooo fucked.
  3. If he can start here: maybe we can give him a trial run in some small local role ...
  4. In a nutshell - The damage to the state is going to be irreparable, but the good news for the GQP is that most of their constituents are far too stupid to realize who's to blame so there won't be any blowback. Time to move north - Austin is going to be uninhabitable in the coming years anyway ...
  5. ... which explains why Powell got boatraced - MAGA ain't voting for anyone with grace.
  6. Leopards Eating People's Faces strike again ... Of course, it could also be a function of those areas being heavily populated with idiots that don't know how to work the internets.
  7. That's kinda spectacular. Buck and Gallagher rolling out on their last day like ...
  8. Why do I get the sense this wonk-eyed piece of shit has recently become heavily invested in a leveraged portfolio of VPN providers?
  9. That was a bad example. I'm thinking something more like this, but worse, cuz we're Texas ... Qualified immunity: Ohio police killed Luke Stewart (usatoday.com) In summary, a poorly-drafted, poorly-thought out law + loose cannons enforcing it + judiciary run amok = lots of innocent dead people. It's a completely foreseeable outcome, but the GQP (and Fatty) will still manage to act surprised when it comes to pass, despite repeated warnings.
  10. Bro, do you even qualified immunity? Alito will fall all over himself to rule that even militia members have been deputized by SB4 and accordingly are entitled to QI, just like the cops.
  11. Jesus H. Christ - this bumbling, fat fuck is the perfect spokesperson for SB4 - it was obviously as well thought out as it seemed. It's a fucking splendid idea for the USSC to let this sort of shit ride through, clearly encroaching on federal authority, just because the state GQP screams "INVASION!1!!1" / "EMERGENCY!11!" At least the 5th Circuit stepped back in, but what the actual fuck?
  12. So, if Tester, Brown and Gallego pull off the hat trick, the Dems gain control of the House and Biden is able to hold off Dotard, do we think that the Senate Dems will finally have the balls to kill the filibuster and start doing some shit? Lots of "ifs" in there, but there seems to be a fighter's chance of getting to a place where they can actually deliver on election integrity, women's rights, etc. After the low-hanging fruit, I'd love to see them take a crack at packing the Court and, if they can't get that through, at least shoring up the authority of federal administrative agencies (EPA) against the barrage from the Court's conservative wing. I know, I know ...
  13. This shit is fucking flabbergasting. It took them hours and hours to count 8,000 votes and finalize the results, during which there were issues at multiple stages. No worries though - just a few innocent mistakes: Close enough, right? I'm sure the GQP is fine with the counts being +/- 2-3%, right?
  14. I'm waiting for news of the mysterious warehouse fire in JYNA!!! that burned the entire 1M pair supply and the accompanying insurance claim that builds in a 50% premium over the original $400 asking price cuz they were so hot ...
  15. Yeah, but he is "earning" $25m per year for investing in an asset class in which, to my knowledge, he had no experience (which honestly might be a good thing given his real estate investing experience). Super ironic in light of all the crying about Hunter's board comp.
  16. Hey, look - it's Jane and John of "Jimmy, John and Jane" fame still doing the GQP's fucked up bidding ...
  17. I'm told that's the way democracy is supposed to work ... at least in Georgia.
