    Well, these are the same people that brought you "The schools can't teach the ugly parts of US history because it might hurt little Kayden's feelings", so I'm not sure that we're going to make a whole lot of progress here.
  2. Gaaawd, I hate motherfuckers like Alito who drop the "I want a simple, clear-cut answer" to complicated issues like this. He's obviously equipped to deal with nuance, and she had just answered the question as clearly as it could be answered. It seems like he was looking for a "well, an abortion might be warranted in some limited mental health emergencies " so he (or Fox News) could scream, "Aha!! Mental health isn't 'real' and all those liberal doctors are gonna be using this as a basis for terminating pregnancies at 37 weeks!! SLiPpeRY SlOPe!1!!"
  3. Agreed. And I'd still probably trade him for Manchin given how frequently Manchin fucked the Dems.

    Plus, they're pretty good at border security, so it should be an easy plan to sell to the GQP ...
  5. I mean, maybe if it's by lightning bolt and it also takes out Alito at the same time ...

    Because of course ... I'm sure the GQP will still support continuing to stiff-arm Ukraine though ...
  7. Bro - we ain't "lumped in" with the dumbest states. We clearly belong.
  8. That's what I remembered. It seems like, in this sort of situation, the plaintiffs should be able to say, "This motherfucker shouldn't be spending a fucking cent on anything other beans, rice and a studio in East Austin until we're totally paid off." I know that there is a balance in trying to keep a debtor motivated to generate income to pay his debts, but I'd probably lean towards "fuck that, I'd rather see him suffer ..."
  9. By that same token, it would seem like a focused specialty PAC effort in those states would be sufficient to kill any real Biden losses. My sense is that the people that might vote for RFK Jr. instead of Biden are the low info voters that are just relying on his name. Getting all of the Kennedy family together on an ad saying "Don't vote for this loon - his dad and uncle would be embarrassed as fuck by him" is all it would take.
  10. I think you know where this belongs - let me give you a hint ...
  11. Cross-posting from the Downfall thread (credit: Tx 3 Putt) because it's too perfect ...
  12. "The News" ... "Pregnant man gives birth - that's a fact. Shakira shreds Barbie - that's a fact ..."
  13. 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.
  14. If he can start here: maybe we can give him a trial run in some small local role ...
  15. Screen cap on that ad is just ...
  16. 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 ...
  17. ... although I would love to see that theory tested literally ...
  18. ... which explains why Powell got boatraced - MAGA ain't voting for anyone with grace.
  19. 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.
  20. That's kinda spectacular. Buck and Gallagher rolling out on their last day like ...
