They were the Boston Bomber, a white nationalist that shot up a black church in 2015, and a nazi that shot up the tree of life synagogue in 2018. So you know, mass murderers.

I think a lot of rich people don't understand that being rich precludes them from being a part of the working class. They think that because they're working, that must mean they're a working class person. And then that leads to shit like this, rich folk calling other rich folk working-class.

Obviously, there are more reasons for people calling the CEO a working class hero, but I think what I said is still one of those reasons.

Breaking news: Nazi expresses support for fellow Nazis. More at 11.

Just so everyone knows because the article headline makes it seem like it's a large amount of the GOP House Caucus, the 2 people who put forward this idea initially were GOP Senators and then MTG jumped on board of course. But Senators have no say in who becomes speaker of the house so this all seems rather pointless unless a large amount of GOP House members come out in favor of the idea.

Do the movies count? Cause I'm pretty sure it's Wild Green Yonder.

And many of them voted for the guy who said he had "concepts of a plan" to maybe fix it, if it can be done better. So them being unhappy about it doesn't mean much when we are about to get a government that is actively hostile to improving any kind of health care for anyone ever.

I wish this wasn't being framed with "Big loss for corporations" and instead was being framed as "Big win for consumers."

One guy said this “VP Harris failed to demonstrate she was ethically or intellectually capable of executing the office, repeatedly failing to detail out her policies..." It's infuriating that people continue to believe Harris never detailed her policies despite the fact that all she talked about was policy. All they had to do was pay attention to her and she would talk about her policies, it seems like they just didn't want to even pay attention to her. Or that because she didn't detail alllll of her policies then that wasn't enough. Add on that this person calls her intellectually incapable of talking about her policies, basically calling her stupid and it's just exhausting.

This whole article continues to make me believe in the fundamental problem with Democrat voters which so many people have shown. The democrats have to run the perfect candidate with the perfect policies or the charisma of Obama who promise the world, while the Republicans can run a guy who says immigrants are eating cats and dogs and because the Democratic candidate wasn't perfect, the Republicans win.

And then when the Democrats do promise signficant change and it doesn't immediately happen, Democrat voters punish them for it, they lose the midterms, and any change that was in the process of happening gets stopped dead. But when Republicans promise the world and don't deliver, Republican voters reward them for simply promising it.

"Democrats fall in love, Republicans fall in line."

Ya know what's great about this article? It opens saying that Mace says she was assaulted and that all the witnesses say that it was a handshake. Then says "Whatever the truth...". By using that phrasing, HuffPo is literally caving to Mace's threat of a defamation lawsuit. They're essentially saying "sure all the witnesses say this was a handshake, but we can't possibly know the truth" all because they believe her that she will sue the places that report it as the handshake that it was. The decision for this phrasing was likely made by an editor, but it still sucks that they're acting like we can't possibly know the truth.

Can't access the article because I don't want to make an account, but playing by the rules hasn't gotten the Democrats anywhere. If one party doesn't play by the rules, they will almost always win. The only way to fix things and take any amount of power back is to play dirty. And fuck off to people (possibly like the author of this article but not sure since I can't read the article) who say that that isn't the right way to do things.

If democrats had gerrymandered their states just like Republicans, things would have been more fair when it comes to distribution of power. But because Democrats decided to make gerrymandering illegal on the state level for their states, the Republicans benefit because of the better drawn districts in those Democrat states. The only way we should have made gerrymandering illegal was on a federal level, doing it on a state level just fucks over Democrats since republican states will either never pass the ballot initiatives or will have the Republican government ignore it when it is passed.

Fuck playing by the rules.

Missouri voters: Let's vote to enshrine abortion rights into law and also elect the people who want to make abortion illegal. That totally won't have any impact on if our ballot measure gets respected.

He wants to eliminate the federal use of "west bank" and instead use the biblical terms Judea and Sumaria.

But don't worry, republicans will be good for the Palestinians because they're anti-war.

Ah yes the old "government so small they can drown it in a bathtub" plan. They want all this cut. But also want to police abortion and trans people. Small but only in the areas they want.

Isn't it great that the only thing that has caused his nominees to drop out are either because they did something defended/held firm on the lock downstairs during covid, or had sex with a minor? So great.

There actually was a second season with an actual ending but it definitely deserved more.

Interestingly, Tate has been "trans-vestigated" recently. There are a lot of those fuckers saying he's a trans dude. One picture in particular is of him sitting in a speedo on a chair and the person circled his crotch cause there wasn't much of a bulge and said "looks like someone forgot to include their falsey" or something like that. Fucking hilarious that they're investigating everyone they possibly can because they dont know how to tell when someone is trans even though they're convinced they do.

Fuck Andrew Tate.

If Biden dropped out sooner, and we had a primary, and the candidate was someone from outside the administration who could say things that they would have done differently and had more history of passing progressive policy, maybe things would have been different. But who fucking knows. People would still have thought the candidate was constantly talking about trans people and pronouns even though they wouldn't have been, would have still wanted to punish the current people in power for inflation which could have extended to any other democratic candidate, and all the other issues the electorate punished the democrats for. Maybe, though, it would have helped democratic turnout at least.

Sadly we will never know and because some people decided to stay home and others decided to embrace fascism because of the economy, we get to deal with the ramifications.

Breaking News: RPG does what all RPGs do but we will compare it to only what one well know RPG does instead of simply saying it's an RPG that does RPG things.

They could have said any other recent RPG game and it would have applied. Using Baldurs Gate 3 is probably just because Avowed is in the Pillars of Eternity world which was another isometric game, but still it's just an RPG. It could just be channeling Pillars of Eternity instead of Baldurs Gate 3. Why do we have to use Baldurs Gate 3 for every comparison out there?
