  1. Yeah, but did he call you the "enemy from within"? A "very bad person"? A "very sick person"? A "radical lunatic"?
  2. He's doing this Nazi crap on the sixth anniversary of the Tree of Life shooting.
  3. I'm old enough to remember when Walz mentioned white people tacos.
  4. The point is the outrage. They know they can't win this without cheating. And they need their cult behind them when they cheat. Get everyone not in the cult outraged, and no longer speaking to their trumpy friends and family. Silo their people off even more from real news.
  5. What's concerning about this isn't the endorsement itself. No idiot who is somehow undecided at this point is going to be reading the WaPo, never mind swayed by what its editorial staff thinks. The problem with the lack of endorsement, and why I canceled my subscription today, is that it's a huge danger sign of what's happened to free press and the First Amendment in this country. Either because of fears of retribution from the government or because the boss is in bed with trump for even more billions, the suits stepped on the editorial board and journalists. So much of the news industry has gone to shit in this country, and WaPo was one of the few remaining semi-responsible media outlets left that actually did some investigative journalism. And now they've just shown that because of either fear or money or both, they're going to bow down to MAGA.
  6. Your love for America is based solely on how many flags you hug or bald eagle pictures you post on Facebook.
  7. Remember when he was going to hire the best people.
  8. He literally tried to overthrow the U.S. government. And then sold state secrets to Russia. And he's the Republican candidate for president in a close race. Nothing will make any difference.
  9. Anecdotal, and I've posted about my Republican friend in NC who seemed weak in her dotard support, but I'd figure she'd probably still quietly vote for him, even if at this point she was clearly too embarrassed to admit it to the rest of us. But after the lies about FEMA, she is PISSED at trump and is openly and vocally supporting Harris.
  10. A million times this. It's not the obvious, blatant bigots who nearly everyone agrees can get fucked. It's the people who turn a blind away or explain away the bigotry and let it flourish.
  11. Hah. That is nothing. When dotard was president, I worked down the street from the small commuter airport he would fly into to golf at Bedminster. Every Friday at 4:30 pm in summer he would fly in, and all the roads would shut down. Without fail. I know it's far from the worst thing he's done, but the selfishness of shutting down all those roads at Friday rush hour to get a game of golf in was infuriating.
  12. I don't mind boring policy discussions. God, I miss the days of boring policy discussions. But I'm not drunk enough to watch boring policy discussion vs. soulless smooth liar pretending to engage in a boring policy discussion while nonstop gaslighting.
  13. What the fuck? Why was the lieutenant governor at a campaign event while large swaths of the state he was supposed to be governing were being decimated? Not that he was a serious person before, but how can anyone support this crap?
  14. I remember saying the first time I saw a trump flag that it was creepy as fuck. It's cult behavior.
  15. The projection is amazing.
  16. For only $60 a knife. And you get a light up display case. I am so in the wrong racket. I should be making a killing selling crap to morons.
  17. Anyone have any recs for a place to stay that's somewhat budget friendly for 4-5 days, maybe in Arenal? I'm going with some friends to Parador, and already spending 5 days there. And I'd love to tack on a few days in another part of the country. But, honestly, most of my budget is blown with Parador, so not looking for anything fancy.
  18. So the leopards ate her friend's face, and she's considering maybe no longer publicly supporting the Leopards Eating Faces Party, just only voting for the leopards to eat people's faces.
  19. Why not both? Yes, they clearly fucked up. But you're okay with asking doctors to find the exact right time when something's a "medical emergency" as a patient becomes septic and then enters septic shock? Just because the doctors also fucked up, doesn't mean the government should be legislating this crap. Maybe the Georgia legislature could write a law that doesn't allow the doctors to use the law as an excuse for their malpractice.
  20. No. But they can't get a D&C to remove embryonic or fetal material unless related to a spontaneous abortion or for a "medical emergency."
  21. Read the article. Georgia only allows D & C's for spontaneous abortions or "medical emergency." Because she admitted that it wasn't a spontaneous abortion, but that she had taken an abortion pill, Georgia law didn't allow the D & C. Or at least that's how the physicians, who were risking jail time, interpreted Georgia's poorly written law on the subject.
  22. This is simply enraging. https://www.propublica.org/article/georgia-abortion-ban-amber-thurman-death?fbclid=IwY2xjawFVnqJleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHTvOGh_zzOaPWHoQypY5qvcRQ_XPT5FskBLEPizhbRbEmJqN-mP7Kqyorg_aem_uXC0oM9XD506siicK1w-Xw In her final hours, Amber Nicole Thurman suffered from a grave infection that her suburban Atlanta hospital was well-equipped to treat. She’d taken abortion pills and encountered a rare complication; she had not expelled all of the fetal tissue from her body. She showed up at Piedmont Henry Hospital in need of a routine procedure to clear it from her uterus, called a dilation and curettage, or D&C. But just that summer, her state had made performing the procedure a felony, with few exceptions. Any doctor who violated the new Georgia law could be prosecuted and face up to a decade in prison. Thurman waited in pain in a hospital bed, worried about what would happen to her 6-year-old son, as doctors monitored her infection spreading, her blood pressure sinking and her organs beginning to fail. It took 20 hours for doctors to finally operate. By then, it was too late. The otherwise healthy 28-year-old medical assistant, who had her sights set on nursing school, should not have died, an official state committee recently concluded. Tasked with examining pregnancy-related deaths to improve maternal health, the experts, including 10 doctors, deemed hers “preventable” and said the hospital’s delay in performing the critical procedure had a “large” impact on her fatal outcome. Their reviews of individual patient cases are not made public. But ProPublica obtained reports that confirm that at least two women have already died after they couldn’t access legal abortions and timely medical care in their state. There are almost certainly others.
  23. Why can't the media fucking call them "lies"? Trump and Vance didn't "claim Haitian immigrants are eating pets." They "spread lies about Haitian immigrants eating pets." This shouldn't be difficult.
  24. Oh, no. The leopard is eating Tillis' face.
