  1. Not just slaves, but slaves that were Christian. It pisses off some of the Southern Heritage types when you point out that maybe the Civil War was God’s punishment for owning Christian slaves.

  3. Wait, this shit from earlier on this page is real? and she retweeted this stuff
  4. https://www.kxan.com/news/texas/texas-gov-greg-abbott-named-to-the-2024-time100-list-of-most-influential-people-in-the-world/
  5. If it was actually Mitch, is Mitch trying to see where everybody really stands by having Johnson make them vote on it? If you get a small number that votes against it, it helps diminish the power of the MTG/Gaetz wing.
  6. This? “They are catching undercover Liberal Activists lying to the Judge in order to get on the Trump Jury,” Jesse Watters
  7. He posted this earlier: Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump ·11h Crooked Joe Biden wants PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY to be protected perhaps more than any other living (barely!) individual because if it isn’t, and having absolutely nothing to do with me, he will surely be Indicted and Tried for many of his Dishonest, illegal, or Incompetent Actions (Afghanistan disaster, Southern Border catastrophe!). A President should not be placed in that position - MUST BE FREE TO MAKE DECISIONS, HOPEFULLY CORRECT ONES!
  8. It’s different in the book if I recall right, less of a joke and more of a story, which either way the Trisolarans didn’t quite understand it, but they knew she was conveying information to him, which is why they tried to kill him. I think the show did it much better. The Dark Forest gets into cosmic sociology a lot more. I have confidence they’ll pull it off.
  9. Must be nice to get within 500 feet of Jessica Alba without having to worry about a restraining order.
  10. Could be that they are seeing really bad numbers, worse than we see, or they are worried that she and the other Russian allies in the House are becoming more and more of a bad look for the GQP, and they’ve decided she will be the scapegoat. It helps that she’s out there threatening Johnson and making statements and filing dumb fucking legislation that support Russia..
  11. Fox News and others on the right are probably getting nervous that she’ll turbofuck the House with the speaker bullshit just over 6 months out from the election, resulting in the Republicans looking even worse than they already do, or getting a Speaker who drives Dems or the polls, or even ending up with Speaker Extreme Hakeem. They are losing a Republican on Friday as it is, making the margin thinner.
  12. I feel like in the short term, we are going to have to do something to reduce consumption. Whether that’s stopping water-thirsty non-native lawn grasses, or doing something about companies and people running automated big-ass sprinklers when it’s raining, or scaling back on water-hungry companies moving to Texas, or a combination, I don’t know. We are not even really trying to educate people on the coming water crisis either, so a shitload of them are going to melt down when it truly hits.
  13. Couple of things - first, they know quite a few in toss up races might be willing to “donate” more money for his endorsement. And make no mistake, this is him selling his endorsement. Sure, if you send only %5, that just means you get to use his words or his photo (I’m sure the RNC has a press kit with ready-to-go photos), but if you send more, you might get a truth.social post, or if you send a big chunk, you might get a video. Second, a lot of races are not competitive for Republicans, the (R) next to their name is more important than a Trump photo, and their budgets can be pretty thin and/or they want to save as much as they can for future campaigns. 15-20% is a hefty fee for something that might only get them a few points and MAGA won’t be donating to them personally to help make up that 15-20%, they’ll be donating to Donnie. It would be embarrassing if they asked for 10% or more and a lot of Republicans said “nah, we’re good”. 5% minimum is a decent sweet spot, given how many will probably toss in more for some special attention, and how many won’t care about 5%. I do love that even if you took a photo with Trump a year or two ago, or got an endorsement for the last election, you now have to pony up 5% of everything you take in if you want to continue using it. That’s brilliant and is such a shitty thing to do, but completely on-brand for today’s GQP, and I think it’s pretty savvy.
  14. Yep, he’s counted votes and been told by the Dems to do it or get his fucking shine box.
  15. Yeah, it’s hard to find data on actual regular attendance, but anecdotally from what I’ve seen from my wife’s former church, and from various churches of relatives/friends over the past couple of years (either in-person events or watching livestreams of nieces/nephews/friends kids performing in the choir or whatever), I think attendance is down quite a bit depending on the congregation. The church my wife goes to now is actually booming, so it’s possible people are just moving away from the batshit churches. I don’t see how going after birth control is going to be a winner for Republicans, but it’s the truly batshit Republicans who hold power over the rest of the Republicans, so they will make a run at it next year.
  16. Between Kari Lake and abortion, Arizona should be solid Dem for years to come.
  17. But he won’t be replaced by somebody as competent as him.

  19. Gonna have to toss another one on the pile pretty soon….
  20. Watching the Republican Party reduce its self to doing political theater for the dumbest fucking people in the country is interesting as well. It’s like if TexAgs somehow elected dozens of its users to the House of Representatives.
  21. Good job Republican legislators in Arizona! That Soros money is working efficiently to defeat Republicans there, https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/17/politics/arizona-house-abortion-law-repeal/index.html Lawmakers vote against hearing Arizona bill repealing abortion ban on House floor
