If anything, I fully expect this cemented him as the pick. If you have any respect for other people, you’re a liability for them.

Doesn’t surprise me at all that they’re sweeping it under the rug.

So glad that my fellow queer women haven’t spilled the secret of our ceremony like these guys did.

Wait, shit. I’ve already said too much.

The article is okay but I’m struggling with the author’s conflation of misanthropy and misandry. Both are mentioned, but only one applies. It could be that the author made a typo, but the tone of the article to me suggests otherwise.

Fixed my own typo.

I wonder if this will swing the Dems to State rights. It seems California is at least thinking about it, given the governor’s new goal of Trump-proofing the state.

I wonder if, in a hundred years, the US will look more like the EU.

Now Israel can definitely get through their final solution.

And fuck them, too. They’re just as responsible.

My first thought was also M&M-Peep chili; glad I’m not the only one about to go to the bathroom, forever.

It’s a (neo-)nazi thing.

The survey would target women of child-bearing age, between the ages of 15 and 49

A fifteen year old girl is not a “woman,” she is a child. All of this is appalling but that line stood out in particular to me.

Hey, hey, since we have sharknados, it’s important to specify what kind of hurricane we have. Could’ve been a furricane - much more damaging to Trump and his ilk.

Not sure if you’re joking, so wanted to clarify, just in case - It’s not that I “saw the light”; I was never in the dark and am not a conspiracy theorist. My initial comment was meant to not be taken seriously.

Cannon has shown herself to be inept enough in her position before; I could see her ‘accidentally’ messing up and needing a mistrial.

Or could take it even crazier and have him go to prison and quietly squirrel him away somewhere under a new name. (Even better if he were to “die” in some method where his remains wouldn’t be pristine so as to make it easier to falsify its identity.)

Ugh. Typing that made me feel like I’m making arguments to treat this seriously; feels gross. I don’t understand how people can genuinely believe conspiracy theories; if you pull at any one of the loose threads, the whole theory falls apart. My 5% has decreased. 😂

(Don’t take this seriously. Or do; I’m not sure it would make a difference in all the insanity in the world.)

The conspiracy theorist in me says he’ll disappear into the woodwork and, effectively, go free because it was a false flag.

My ‘reasoning’:

• Trump wasn’t in the guy’s line of sight.

• The guy didn’t shoot.

• When it happened, wasn’t Trump having some struggles with his publicity? I forget the details, but I wanna say he wasn’t getting as much attention at the time.

• Trump didn’t get much lasting attention from the first attempt, and it certainly didn’t cause the country to rally against around him. Why not stage a second one to gain sympathy?

Again, I’m only maybe 5% serious here but, if the other side gets to have their insane conspiracies, I think it’s okay for me to have this one.

Edit to correct me using the opposite word I meant.

You are missing literally all of the context. WaPo has endorsed in every presidential election since 1988. Suddenly, weeks before an incredibly contentious election, and right around the time Bezos-owned businesses met with Trump, this Bezos-owned publication decides to “return” to its “roots” (after three and a half decades). Even if it’s not actually sinister (debatable, but we may never know), the appearance of impropriety is a serious issue and damages WaPo’s credibility.

It’s a good thing I’m a Pink Floyd fan because I am comfortably numb.

Or is that the dissociation talking so I can get through the next week, at least? Eh, six of one, half dozen of the other.

What’s terrible is that it’s the right hand that keeps covering us with shit while those of us on the left hand try desperately to get the soap. Not enough soap for all the shit. :(

There’s no “trading” of insults and the article didn’t even provide any examples of insults Harris may have made. Sure had plenty from Trump, though.

This type of reporting drives me insane and it’s always these news sites that don’t allow comments to point out their obvious bias.

Yeah, I read that and wasn’t sure if it was supposed to be a joke about her murder.

I’ve seen a mirror; I think it was xcancel.com. (I just checked that and it does seem like a mirror.)

Unfortunately, when “politics” equals “whether certain people deserve basic human rights,” it’s not a minor issue. I don’t keep company with people who think I’m subhuman.
