Spot on. There’s no winning for McBride here; if she does kick MTG’s ass, then that’s all the more reason for Republicans to go after “men” in women’s sports.

It’s people who vote based on vibes rather than facts and consequences. They saw both of them as “outsiders” who “tell it like it is” and want change.

I didn’t know latine had its roots in the language. As an Asian American, cultural appropriation bothers me and I want to be respectful to the language/culture/people. Thanks for the explanation, I’m a bit smarter today thanks to you.

Color me old and decrepit but why use 2 new terms when the language already has 2 terms that seem fine, Latina and Latino? Is this something akin to negro -> African American -> Black? I can kind of get Americans feeling that Latinx is more gender neutral, but Latine seems very redundant.

Power is more useful than morals for getting what you want.

Mr Fish caution NSFW & icky

It would probably need a lot of internal cooperation, and he just doesn’t go into that. But the excessive bullet ballots only being in swing states is pretty weird, honestly. I wonder how hard it would be to recount/reverify in maybe 2 states as a pilot.

From the article, a little realization that the leopards are gonna eat some faces:

Hassan Abdel Salam, a former professor at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities and co-founder of the Abandon Harris campaign, which endorsed Green Party candidate Jill Stein, said Trump’s staffing plans were not surprising, but had proven even more extreme that he had feared. “It’s like he’s going on Zionist overdrive,” he said. “We were always extremely skeptical…Obviously we’re still waiting to see where the administration will go, but it does look like our community has been played.”

But seriously, how would anyone imagine that the guy who banned Muslim refugees from entering the US wouldn’t be anti Muslim?

I’m totally for this and I bet it would work, too. We’ve seen the level of ignorance that went into how people chose to vote. If OnionWars puts up those kinds of stories, along with the occasional article declaring Jones actually still owns InfoWarts and any news stating otherwise is fake, they could ease these nutjobs back to sanity.

But is pronounced to rhyme with rubber.

Fuentes, Gaetz, MTG, Miller, Boebert, Lake – none of these people are boomers. GenX at most and a lot of millennials. A quick glance through the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Leaders of the Radical Right show a lot in their 30s and 40s. Boomers vote and spend money, but they’re largely too old to be activists in the traditional sense.

I swear for every positive story about something Biden did, there were 3 or 4 about Trump just being Trump: saying some outrageous lie, gaffes, and of course all the crimes. He’s sucked all the air out of the room for 10 years and now we’re going to have another 4. All news, positive or negative, is publicity.

Some percent of chicken already does, for sure. I’m saying that percentage is going to go up, probably a lot. Iirc chicken packages have a processor number printed on them, and you can look up statistics on how many times salmonella was found there.

Here we go

They also plan to kick away the safeguards around chicken processing so while that price might come down (also hard to say, since undocumented also make up a chunk of that workforce), the chances of it having salmonella are probably going to go up.

Here’s a comic that covers the worst parts. 21 pages iirc

It’s absolutely ridiculous but apparently there are people who didn’t know Biden dropped out

He’s lost it. First getting ripped up by demons, now he says abortions cause hurricanes? It seems like his brain has turned into a Swanson frozen dinner.

“Voting for Harris is like having an affair”? That extrapolates into some pretty creepy implications about how they see their and their wife’s relationship with Trump.

They think it’s okay to do because they think they need to “balance out” the enormous amounts of voter fraud they’re convinced is being committed by Democrats. The problem is, that’s a complete lie, the Dems have done nothing. Every news story I’ve read about voter fraud in this election cycle (3 or 4?) where they actually mention the party, it’s been a Republican.
