  1. Have you ever seen a commie drink a glass of water?
  2. Ok. Two questions 1) but is is true? and if it is; 2) does the source matter?
  3. Mr Mamdani, call your office. It didn’t work apparently despite the fact that his dad is a professor at Columbia, but maybe those South African farmers’ kids should try this.
  4. This but unironically. Part of why Democrats need to center their identity around middle and working class economic interests and not on social issues is because there are core elements of the base that can be quite homophobic, transphobic and racist. And this is at least as true among black and Hispanic democrats as it is for white union democrats. those groups are tolerant enough to vote together with LBGTQ+ and other minorities, but the co-belligerents can’t stick together without working and middle class economic interests to glue them together.
  5. $1950?
  6. Black children being used as bait for gator hunting definitely wasn’t common in practice, and may not have even actually ever happened. But it was certainly a VERY popular and extraordinarily racist and dehumanizing trope. I like to believe that if Florida fans knew what the ‘gator bait’ chant referred to they wouldn’t use it, but I’m probably kidding myself.
  7. If by “swinging for the fences” you mean proposing to spend a lot on relatively few deeply affordable housing while tying up actual solutions to the housing shortage for years with the activist flypaper of comprehensive planning, you are right.

  9. Thomas Kinkade is the Normal Rockwell of Tophet
  10. it means a lot about NY, but nothing about the future of Democratic Party outside of NY. It’s just a local election.
  11. It’s not likely, but saying a Republican or independent could never get elected is like when people said Donald Trump couldn’t get a truly fair trial in New York City. The opposite is true. It’s probably the only place where he could get one. Likewise, NYC is probably the only huge city that is local enough for a Republican to win a partisan election for mayor. That’s why these takes about what the Mamdani win means for the Democratic Party so silly. It doesn’t mean anything. NYC is not representative of the rest of the country.
  12. 2013. But look, here’s the thing with NYC- the voters there are very diverse, very transactional, and vote on a very local basis, and the political structure rewards those who break from their party to get ahead. The default is Democratic but it is ALWAYS possible for a Republican or an independent to be elected mayor. It’s been that way for over a century.
  13. One of the Republicans was Rudolph Giuliani, so not really? if anything, the GOP has nationally drifted towards Staten Island.
  14. Two of the last four mayors of NYC were Republicans and one of the Republicans also won the office as an independent.

  16. And a good day to you too, sir. If you want to experience a small slice of the shit women deal with every day, tell people you don’t like Inception, and some middlebrow type will pop out of nowhere and start explaining Inception. Sure, it doesn’t help that Hans Zimmer decided to make the Oboe player the Oppenheimer of the woodwind section, but Inception didn’t suck because Hans Zimmerman is a bad composer. Inception sucked because at some point after the Prestige, Christopher Nolan apparently lost whatever trust he had in the audience to understand movies based on the combination of moving images and realistic dialogue between well developed characters. As a result, he uses expository dialogue and music the way less gifted directors use voiceovers: as a substitute for competent narrative filmmaking, which in turn makes him a little lazy in terms of pacing and plot points. Consequently, Inception drowns in self-evidence. Basically, the shouting ruins the visuals. It’s like porn for the blind, as described by Frankie MacDonald, cue Oboes on the money shot: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
  17. The irony of Rick Perry is that the two things that killed his career were the two best things he tried to get done.

  19. The problem with Northern Idaho is way bigger than this president. In some ways, he’s a symptom of the same problems that created the situation there. As soon as I heard someone was shooting at firefighters I assumed it would be Coeur d’Alene
  20. $2000?
  21. I think I’ve told you this before, but I would make Rick Perry Governor for life if it saved us one month of Greg Abbott. He’s the worst governor we have ever had, and no one is close.
  22. You mean the party that was exactly like this one but was too embarrassed to act like this in public?
  23. The hospital will be having a July 4 party later that same evening.
