Helping people is a good thing. These people needed help and the pastor helped provide that crucial assistance in a dire situation.

Is that not enough?  Why is it something so blatantly good/necessary so sharply scrutinized as to prevent that critical service from being provided at all? (Yes I know govt can fuck up a puppy party so it’s not surprising)

It’s a NIMBY cocktail with a faux-Chrsitianity floater. I’m not a religious person in way, but seems the pastor is doing actual Jesus things.  Make it make sense.

and if shitting in the corner is so bad, why hasn’t my state mandated psychologist said anything about me doing it in my padded cell?!

For the last time, I'm your landlord, not your Doctor.  Stop shitting in the floor, I'm taking it out of your deposit.

We need to spread the rumor that it’s jobless welfare types being paid by Soros.

My Qanon sis-in-law briefly followed him around prior to 2021.  She made it sound like a Grateful Dead thing, that she knew “regulars” that were following the rallies around.

Maybe we’ve found the source of some of these syphilis outbreaks @safe sex has talked about.

This country is fucked.  48%?
The thought that my kids have to live with half of the citizenry being this messed up is depressing.

These New Hampshire voters don’t love everything Trump says. But here’s why they’re planning to back him

https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/22/politics/new-hampshire-trump-voters/index.html

Some highlights:

Quote

“That’s obviously a fault that I have,” Konchek said about the former president. “I don’t like the way that he speaks sometimes. He can be a little ignorant and rude.”

His loyalty causes tension at home. Konchek’s wife supports Haley now and has never been a Trump fan. But when a Trump flag came in the mail late last year, Konchek quickly and proudly flew it from his porch.

“She said I was ruining Christmas and wanted me to take it down,” Konchek said. “And she took it down and I put it back up.”

Unwelcome drama, and lots of it. But no other candidate repeatedly talks about a livelihood Konchek loves and sees as threatened.

“He’s kind of a bully,” Konchek said.

“But you think he fights for you?” we ask.

“I do. Yep.”

So Trump gets his vote Tuesday.

Quote

She’s not a Biden fan, she says, because “he’s been caught in a lot of lies” throughout his 40-plus years in elected office.

We remind her, in a polite understatement, “Trump’s not known as the world’s greatest truth teller.”

No disagreement.

So how is conduct that disqualifies Biden acceptable from Trump?

“I don’t like politicians,” Katsanos said. “I don’t think one term made him a politician.”

Her bottom line on Trump: “Sometimes he just doesn’t know when to shut up.”

But he will get her vote Tuesday because of her bottom line on what she wants most from Washington.

“Close the border and get this economy moving again” is her list. “He’s got faults,” she says of the former president. “He’s not a saint. He doesn’t walk on water. I think he relates to people. He’s relatable.”

McIver makes $40,000 a year, enjoys the work and is grateful his commute is just a few miles so he has more time with his family.

It is a paycheck-to-paycheck life and inflation is especially tough on those with little to no margin in the family budget.

“With Trump, I was doing pretty good. I was able to save more,” McIver said. “Right now, it is harder. … Your groceries are expensive and the cost of everything you purchase is expensive.”

It is that blue-collar bottom line that keeps him ready to vote for Trump even as he concedes it is beyond unusual to acknowledge your choice needs guardrails and is likely to test the rules and norms if given power.

“I know what I’m going to get,” McIver said. “I know he will fix the border and work on the economy.”

I think it's still a good move, no matter the age, to ask the family for permission.  It's a worthless custom, but it doesn't hurt anybody and shows some respect.  When somebody asks me one day for one of my daughter's hand in marriage...I'd appreciate the gesture.  If they didn't ask, wouldn't care either.  But it shows a modicum of consideration.  

That said, I was in Manhattan a few years ago right before Covid, and ran into a bunch of Texans I knew that were in town for a MavPAC conference.  We ended up getting shitfaced drunk and some elected officials were with them.  One of whom was Tim Scott.  And after the lightweights passed out (this was when I could hold my own), it was Tim Scott, me, and another person.  And I was starving, but somehow---we were in the only part of Manhattan where you couldn't get a decent slice of pizza after midnight.  This was in the Chelsea for those of you scoring at home and know what's going on in that area.  And I said, "Damn, we gotta find some pizza before anything else to drink."  And sure as shit, Tim Scott, "Fuck the pizza and drink, let's find some dick."  /csb    So congrats on the engagement, Senator.

I saw another NH guy on TV today who said his biggest issue was the border.

Why do people in a state thousands of miles away care about "the border" so much?  Especially when they live so close to Canada?

Bush v. Obama?  

Seriously, that's what he said. 

 

Remind me which election cycle that was our choice.  Was the running mate, Dennis Castro?  Dennis?  Uh, Dwayne!

So, did y'all find some dick?

He’s 58. He’s married to his second wife and has three young adult sons. He was in the Army for 22 years — he retired as a lieutenant colonel — and now he is a senior project manager for an IT security company and works from home. He lives in a classic three-bedroom house he bought almost four years ago for $485,000 that’s now worth roughly a quarter-million dollars more. He’s originally from Centralia, Illinois, a town like too many towns in the more rural interior of the country that isn’t what it was. He was born in a hospital that no longer delivers babies. His father’s gallbladder several years back broke during a snowstorm and so he couldn’t be airlifted to the closest suitable medical facility in St. Louis. “So we just watched him die,” he said. Before he voted for Trump twice, he told me, he voted for Barack Obama twice. By September of 2023, though, he was thinking he was ready for someone else and so he went to the event for Haley.

Because with a "porous border," Abbott and DeSantis will send browns to NH.

Yep. It’s way too good for a piece of shit like him. He should be doing forced hard labor and then dumped into the north Atlantic in a cage.

It's really amazing to witness the selfishness of these people. 

"So you're going to risk American democracy and vote for the guy who tried a coup last time around?"

"Yeah. I'd like to pay a little less for groceries." 

It's also just stupid as hell from a purely self-centered standpoint. A double whammy.

Trump can draw decent crowds at his rallies but I assume that 75% of his rallies are these crazies that follow him around the country like groupies. Maybe 25% of the crowd are locals, some of which are crazy.

So like a less boring Grateful Dead tour.

Are they doing this because there aren’t enough workers?  If only there was a mass of people that wanted to come to our country and work jobs for a better life.
