Most of the right wing personalities couldn't qualify to run a McDonalds.  Shoving a dildo in your ass, being a drunk, crying and raging during interviews, is what passes for republican thought leaders.

So if inflation has been defeated, does that mean we're going to have deflation? Because.... That doesn't go well. At least that's what the economists tell me. But what do they know.

I wonder what % of Charlie Kirk's shares and engagement are well meaning, reasonable people who disagree and ridicule his horrendous bullshit. Either way he gets paid, and the more engagement he gets only stimulates the algorithms to spread his garbage even further

a guy i’ve known basically my entire life, who is a huge republican donor, posted this to his IG story:

can’t wrap my head around it. not even one little bit. it’s surreal. i mean, we live in TEXAS. what better living example is there that the republican party is the one that insists on being all up in your shit?!?! how can you live here every single day and think that the republican party is the party of small government? i don’t know if i will every get used to how many of my peers are the dumbest, most gullible fucking chumps on the planet. 

Whenever Rex or whoever the fuck calls CR an echo chamber/cabal and you start questioning if they’re right just go look at that comment section full of retards.

When you see people as they are it really makes you think back to growing up in Texas. Seeing what my hometown of Lampasas now is made me think back to if there were signs of this when I was a child that I would not have paid much attention to because, you know, I was a kid. I thought back and many things I saw as a kid made me realize that most of what I saw growing up was a complete farce. 

Same here.  

I didn't realize it at the time but very few of my 1978 classmates from Corpus would ever leave town.  Half of them went to aigy, with the rest split between UT and a smattering of other schools.  Looking them up now on Facebook is, uh, interesting.

This is the future buckle up, elections delayed when dear leader is unpopular, elections when he starts a war and spaghetti forgive wins it. Most likely after extreme handouts like during covid. Elections cancelled after he has totalitarian power.

The argument isn't invalid though, to align with other standard election cycles in an attempt to boost voter turnout.

This is correct. And I’m an alarmist, but this sort of thing isn’t unprecedented. Lots of local entities have/had May elections. They either delayed or moved them up in some cases to align with November elections, meaning they are much cheaper to run (the state was already going to have polling places set up). Some officials might see their term extended slightly, or shortened slightly.

Now, will THIS admin pull some other shenanigans? Of course.

I thought about posting this. 

I go back and forth about if why they did it is a good reason because putting the elections the same time as other election cycles sort of makes sense to me.

I actually think there should be no off cycle elections unless election days are going to be moved to Saturday or made a work holiday

double off year elections are really anti-democratic, so i'm in favor of getting rid of them. 

Yeah, there's been a movement here (Seattle) to switch to even years; the state lege forced all municipalities into off-year elections in 1969, so both municipal and state law would need to change. Turnout in off years even in a vote by mail state like WA is about half of even-year elections. That said, terms would be shortened by a year at the bridge rather than adding an extra year as Miami is doing.

Oh well, at least we're going to ranked-choice primaries in two years.

Work holiday to vote.  Good one.

I like it. A few years ago we did this in Austin. The local Democratic machine tried to stop it because (and this argument was made out loud, in public) there was a risk that a Republican would wind up on the city council. 
That’s not a good reason.

As I was catching up, I was planning to mention that I thought Austin had switched from May to November municipal elections a few years ago, although I didn't realize there'd been opposition to it because it made complete sense to me at the time.

This will work because people have been desensitized and are used to prices now. And they are fucking morons.

It’s not a good reason but you can damn sure bet the other side plays these fuck-fuck games when it benefits them.

Intense opposition within the kingmaker class of Austin politics- the clubs, David Butts and his crowd, the ANC executive committee, that one guy who calls himself “Save Our Springs” while openly advocating for sprawl, various Eastside shakedown artists, etc. The roughly ~100 people who effective chose every member of the city council from 1994-2014.
That cartel relied on people not paying attention to local government and moving to November elections is how that cartel was broken.

But it wasn’t about party or the other side. It’s oligarchy. Parties don’t mean anything and ideology is bullshit. Politics is about who, not what.

I know several non-horrible (not racist or nativist) Republicans who have empathy for other people and are not hate fountains.  They live in all-MAGA families (and neighborhoods), and are people who place more value in not destroying relationship with those family/neighbors/church members than they do voting against Republicans and losing the societal acceptance that they feel they cannot live without.

I am unaware of any requirement to divulge one's vote to their friends and family.  One could even . . . lie.

Sure.  But you may have noticed that the easier thing is to ignore facts that oppose your worldview and accept facts that confirm it.

I had a work colleague who was very Catholic and would use his lunch hours to go pray for his various deceased relatives.   I kept asking him how he could support the GOP doing all these bad things, and he literally looked me in the eye and said I have to support family values.

He was not being snarky.  He had simply fully adopted the bullshit party line from the 90s and felt comfortable ignoring any negative - as he viewed himself as a family values supporter - which allowed him to disregard any critical thinking about the policies the family values party was actually adopting.  He would probably be OK with concentration camps as long as there was no abortion going on at them.

SIAP but this pile of shit is abruptly cutting off NOAA’s access to DoD satellite data as of July 1 to forecasters who depend on it for accuracy and track forecasts. 

Taking the half glass full route, maybe this leads to a bunch of maga deaths in FL/TX/GA/MS/LA.

But will accuweather get it? Or whoever his butt buddy is?
