  1. I can accept the fumble, it’s the laying there lifeless with the ball a foot away that pisses me off.
  2. Those people and that dynamic existed before Trump. He just did the cookie trick to tap the pool of disaffected citizens as a voting resource. But you are right, it’s that context that allows someone like Trump to rise. I think the why to that is as simple as this: New census population projections confirm the importance of racial minorities as the primary demographic engine of the nation’s future growth, countering an aging, slow-growing and soon to be declining white population. The new statistics project that the nation will become “minority white” in 2045. The shift is the result of two trends. First, between 2018 and 2060, gains will continue in the combined racial minority populations, growing by 74 percent. Second, during this time frame, the aging white population will see a modest immediate gain through 2024, and then experience a long-term decline through 2060, a consequence of more deaths than births (see Figure 2). https://www.brookings.edu/articles/the-us-will-become-minority-white-in-2045-census-projects/ There is a reason conservatives are conducting themselves like it’s win in 2024 or die. Because if your goal is to enshrine minority rule for whites beyond when they become a voting minority, 2024 is the last best chance you have to do it. From this point forward, whites comprise less and less of the voting population. These numbers started emerging in 2012 after the 2010 census. In 2014/2015 Trump began his political rise. Those were also the years you saw conservatives like Jeff Flake start to opt out of future plans of the Republican Party because they were exposed to some abhorrent strategy, and when a cozy relationship between certain people in the GOP and Russia started surfacing. Why? Maybe it’s because Russia needed to neutralize the US as an opposition to their goals in Europe, and conservatives needed the tutelage from experts in consolidating power in a way impervious to democratic elections. No direct evidence, but it explains a lot that is otherwise inexplicable.
  3. Holy shit, the changing weather, the chem trails, it all makes sense!
  4. We’re going to re-examine Hilary’s 2016 campaign again, aren’t we?
  5. MTG: I’ve always liked Alex Jones. The judge ordering Alex Jones' Infowars to be auctioned off, to pay $1.5 billion defamation damages (a sum he could never pay), proves it was always really about destroying Alex Jones. The shooter was the one who horrifically murdered those innocent children... Alex Jones: No he didn't.
  6. FIFY and there is going to be a whole lot of this on the right...
  7. Only Mark Robinson did nazi this coming. Take it for what it's worth, but I have an in-law in Florida that drives a cyber truck and voted for Trump the first time around that assures me the state is very much in play. He lives in an area and travels in circles that are affluent, traditionally conservative and were very strongly for Trump in 2016. He said there was a trickle away in 2020 (when he "defected"). He now calls people leaving the Trump voter fold "a flood." He says that most of the people who he knows that Trump is losing today aren't going to vote D, but they aren't going to vote R either. He only fears some crazy October surprise that brings them back to being motivated to vote against the Dems. That'll be $9.95.
  8. Lol, if this was game of thrones, Laura Loomer would be the proselytizing red witch that squeezed a shadow demon out of her vagina.
  9. I bet she gives great (whale) head.
  10. I am optimistic because there's an inverse to Trump's somewhat accurate belief that he "could shoot someone on 5th avenue and not lose a vote". It's that he apparently can be shot on 5th avenue and not gain a vote, either. There does not appear to be that many people who were not already going to vote for Trump that are open to voting for him under any circumstances given a non-vegetative alternative
  11. Guys, this is high art like the little girl in the red coat juxtaposed against the monochrome black and white of the holocaust in Schindler's List. But if it was in a movie called Swindler's List.
  12. I'm late to the whole pager/device attack discussion, but it strikes me that this is how we should endeavor to "bomb threat X into the stone age." Compare this to the monetary and human expense needed to take down the leadership of Al Qaeda after 9/11 using more conventional means. Bravo.
  13. Vote for your my pocketbook!
  14. That mud shark ain’t pressing any charges. It was reportedly “Stoopseque”
  15. That mouth is adapted to sift krill from seawater.
  16. Such complete and utter hogwash, an egregious display of fabricated information that seems to have been concocted purely for the purpose of titillation! She reached out to him via a provocative late-night call, her voice dripping with a sense of urgent allure as she recounted a rather sordid tale of an unfortunate animal, seemingly struck down in the throes of passion, now lying sprawled and lifeless in the secluded embrace of a dimly lit, shadowy alleyway. The details she shared were almost too vivid, painting a scene so vivid that one could almost smell the desperation in the air. Her insistence that he come immediately, that he drop everything and rush over, held a tantalizing hint of something more—something almost lascivious. Driven by a heady mix of curiosity and an undeniable arousal at the tantalizing possibilities, he hastened through the night, navigating the twists and turns of the city like a man possessed, until he arrived at the designated location. And there, bathed in the sultry glow of a lone, flickering streetlight, stood she, a vision of pure, unadulterated temptation. She was clad in nothing but the top half of a costume—though calling it a mere 'costume' scarcely does justice to the spectacle before him. It was the upper section of a two-person horse outfit, the kind that, when fully worn, requires two bodies to move in perfect unison, to synchronize their motions in a dance that is as intimate as it is absurd. Yet here she was, alone, the lower half conspicuously absent, leaving her exposed in a way that was both tantalizing and bewildering. He could barely contain the surge of thoughts that raced through his mind, each one more provocative than the last. What could she possibly want from him in such a state, presenting herself in such a way, the exposed seams of the incomplete costume hinting at possibilities both wild and erotic? His mind, now gripped by a salacious and relentless brain worm, wrestled with the situation, a fitting metaphor for the intrusive, throbbing thoughts that wriggled their way through his consciousness. What could such a cerebral parasite do when confronted with such an enticing enigma? Was this a test, a seduction, or merely a bizarre invitation to indulge in some unspeakable form of intimacy? Every angle, every shadow seemed charged with the electric potential of what might happen next. The absurdity of the scene only served to heighten the surreal, almost orgiastic atmosphere, as if the alley itself pulsed with an unspoken desire, urging him to step forward, to close the gap, to discover just what she had in mind for him, standing there half-dressed as half a horse. In that moment, with the night pressing in around them and the air thick with possibility, it was clear that the question of what a brain worm should do was less important than the burning question of what he was going to do—and what, exactly, she was going to let him get away with. @immamac I'll subscribe again if you can set up a YGIFs-post trained LLM to randomly post here (only half-joking)
  17. Bullshit, fake news. She called him and told him of a roadkill incident in a dark alley. When he arrived, she was there wearing only the top half of a two person horse costume. What’s a brain worm to do?
  18. Goddammit, Farva!
