  1. Not really lol, more aww cool
  2. Braddock is hearing things And counterpoint
  3. A fancied up gin and juice it appears to me.
  4. I have no idea. Here's his response A number 228. Ok then
  5. Far-right North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, the Republican frontrunner for to become the state's governor, has far more extreme conspiracy theory beliefs than were previously known, the Huffington Post revealed this week. According to the report, Robinson has pushed a number of bizarre theories on Facebook, including that the music industry is controlled by Satan. He claimed that Beyoncé's songs sound like "Satanic chants" and that, "Her songs sound like they say stuff like 'satan laughs as you rot in hell' if play them backwards. SUPER WEIRD!!!!!" More from HuffPo Steven Greene, a political science professor at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, said Robinson simply “represents the culture war id of the Republican Party.” “He is the Republican Party writ large,” Greene said. “One of the major themes of Trump’s campaign could be considered a conspiracy theory, which is that the 2020 presidential election was stolen. Republican primary voters have shown they are very, very willing to, shall we say, be comfortable with their political leaders holding conspiracy views.” https://www.huffpost.com/entry/republican-mark-robinson-conspiracy-theorist-north-carolina-governor-race_n_64df8cabe4b0ce7f01203a6b
  6. In the search query by way of a statement. "David Brooks sucks" This one was well down the list. And Brooks is the king of no-context. In Brooks’ fantasy world, there is no economic power. There is no history. All that matters are performative culture displays. Because Brooks’ life is free from oppression, he believes oppression does not exist. In those rare moments when it does exist, it is practiced by liberal agitators and crafty postmodern academics. https://www.pastemagazine.com/politics/david-brooks/david-brooks-is-americas-most-clueless-pundit But, there's this from Magary. way back in 2017 You know what? Fuck your worrisome. You’ll pardon me if I find the fact that Donald Trump is in charge far more worrisome than whether or not his detractors rightfully assume he’s into some bad shit. Brooks has the whole Tasteful Objection verbiage down. Things are worrisome, or troubling, or raise serious questions, or give him pause. Meanwhile, the world is FUCKED! Freaking out is a completely normal and logical response to Donald Trump being President and Trump’s behavior in office. What is NOT logical is being the contrarian millionaire who steps back and folds his arms and points at the fire alarm and declares, “Now THAT might be the real problem here." https://www.gq.com/story/david-brooks-trump-whitewater That's two. There's so much more.
  7. They have been saying, "He tells it like it is" from the very beginning. These are not smart people. Plus they want to believe it. Enough of your pesky facts. He says what I want to hear and believe. It is true because I speak it into existence.
  8. Thinking about one of these. Edit: hell with it. Buy it
  9. If it's important enough to make the cut twice I probably should read it. Edit: that cuts to the bone. He got elected because he was, and has been willing to speak with no filter. That's contrary to the nature of the job. Instead of the measured words of the men before him he was willing to tank the markets or otherwise send shocks to the system because he can't be wrong. He's such a stupid fuck
  10. Killed because she had a rainbow flag outside her store
  11. Well, I'm done with it. It's Friday.
  12. Really? You are going to double down? Like it or not, Trump had a hand in whether or not his base got a shot, wore a mask, listened to good information, and generally took it seriously. Look at the death rates in Trumpy areas vs Biden areas. It diverged after the vaccine became widely available. Further, the more Trumpy it was the more they died. You can doubt it. Shit on the idea. Whatever you want to do. It doesn't matter. Graveyard don't lie. I mean we have actually studied this shit. Your tax dollars paid for it. Like a lot of other parts of the social contract you benefit from. Sweatergawd I thought I had seen some obtuse humans but it's still stunning when you run into it.
