He can't just say supportive things. He has to know the most about IVF, and he has to be the father of IVF, after a two minute conversation where it was explained to him what IVF is.

Just wait until all the people who lied about "Gore inventing the internet" hear about this. They will be outraged.

Some of these splits in similar voting states are drunk af.

Quinnipiac has Georgia Trump +7 and NC Harris +2. 

They will not vote 9 points apart.... and all of the Blue Wall will be within 1-2 points of each other.

The old joke around here is call me Alpharetta because I'm 10 minutes from Cumming.  

So.....what place is only 90 seconds away from Cumming?  Asking for a friend.

Yep. I'm an over-50 white dude with a salt and pepper beard and a pickup truck. They just assume I'm one of them. 

Ditto.  I've heard some wild stuff while visiting Texas for business (sorry, Texas, but I do not hear that stuff in CO).

I get this quite a bit too living in East Texas. People are outright shocked when they get push back. I think it's just something they very rarely encounter in their day to day.

This is essentially the story of my Jr. High/High School experience...until I was able to leave.  It's still there when I go back, just a little tempered because times have changed.  But the underlying beliefs haven't.

Remember when Al Gore made a sort of awkward but largely accurate statement about his role in the early development of the internet that got misrepresented as him claiming that he "invented" the internet and it almost ruined his political career? Yeah, I 'member.

If East Texas is anything like Alabama, the old fossils haven't changed (but sometimes know when to shut up) and the under-40s are comparatively enlightened. Barring Fraternity Row.

Listen, I've seen some wild shit.  You ever have ambrosia

But with god as my witness, I have never seen raisins in potato salad.  Also German hot potato salad is the shit.

 

For a 2-3 year period in 79-81 or so, my mom and dad would have these revolving dinner party things once a month in the fall and winter, where co-workers came, parents of co-workers, extended family, etc.  It was a wholesome thing.  Had it at our home a few times, went to other houses as well.  

There was one woman;  mother of someone.  Probably in her mid-late 60's at the time.  Came by herself.

She always brought a big mixing bowl of this concoction.

As a 12 year old, I was repulsed by the sight of it.

Yep. That book really lays bare a frightening truth: the real fuel powering the engine of fascism is not the extremists. It’s common people too blinded by normalcy bias to see where all the baby steps lead. They aren’t what you would think of as evil or even bad people. They’re just optimistic or stupid or not paying attention, and it’s easier to assume things are under control and will always be fine. These frogs get slowly boiled until they have blood on their hands. 

 

 

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.

Did your parents keep a basket by the front door for everyone to put their keys in?

Nah.  Hell, there wasn't even booze.  House full of Baptists.

On another note, here's another gem from Trump's whatever that was earlier today:

My immediate thought as well. I'm not sure ol' Francisco's parents were as wholesome as he thinks. Good for them.

I mean, if they were Baptists statistically at least one of them was probably fucking or trying to fuck a minor.

Basically, people that have no issue trampling someone else's liberty, but will scream bloody murder the second they are inconvenienced.  

Which all goes back to the core cause of our utter brokenness: a complete lack of empathy.  We worship the "me" 100%, the "we" 0%.  

So long as we get ours, we don't give a shit if the leopards eat everyone else's faces.  But even that meme is problematic.  You shouldn't be upset when the leopards get around to eating YOUR face.  Any decent human being should be disturbed and called to action when the leopards show up to eat your neighbor's face.  Someone else's face being eaten is just as bad as your own face being eaten.

But in America, 2024?  Fuck everyone but me.  If I could vote for someone who would kill the half of the country that doesn't look like me, and then give me all their stuff so I am more prosperous, I'm all for it.  Not just okay with it, but FOR IT.

We are one fucked in the head society.  Mr. Rogers would kick all our asses.

With all the talk of dumping Trumpy friends and acquaintances.  Let's talk about Twitter.. and it's continued prevalence here.

Elon Musk gave $75M to his pro-Trump super PAC

Musk launched the group over the summer.

Billionaire SpaceX CEO Elon Musk poured just shy of $75 million into his super PAC backing Donald Trump’s presidential campaign last quarter, according to a new campaign finance filing.

Musk, the richest person in the world, was the sole donor to the pro-Trump America PAC, according to the filing submitted to the Federal Election Commission late Tuesday. Musk launched the group over the summer and has funded voter contact across key presidential states and more than a dozen House races.

Lots of GOP cope - I don't think they're that confident.  The GOP statewide requests were a little less than 500k ballots and Dems were over 1 million. 

They can't reverse firewall with 500k ballots that don't exist.

Remember when Dan Quayle followed an incorrect flash card and told a kid in a spelling bee that he had spelled "potato" incorrectly, and it DID destroy his political career?  I remember.

Quayle misspelled potato, and it ended his career.

Trump IS a fucking potato, and he's going to be elected POTUS.  Again.

This fucking timeline.

That's a terrible idea.  Vance does not get rattled like Trump does.  He'll just spew his lies ad nauseum.  Zero upside for Harris to do such a thing.  

She should be mentioning his mental decline every day, though.

Yes on the second part.

Though trying to frame it as Harris v Vance isn't the *worst* idea because H2H polling, she crushes him.  

Like, look - if Trump wins, Vance will be president faster than you can blink.
