I’ve always liked that one. On a scale of fanny to gash, how impolite is it considered over there?

Don’t worry, you agree with her words but not her intent. She doesn’t actually want to do it, she just wants to use the threat of it to keep Gaetz’s report secret.

It’s only two sentences. It seems clear to me.

My first point is 2.65mm is neither 10mm, like you originally posted, nor the 7mm you edited it to. My second point is she only needed a little more than 230k where it mattered most this time.

She lost by about 2.65mm.

And just a little over 230k in the States that mattered this time: Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.

Yeah, the young MAGAts I work with don’t like that old crew of Rs. People like Cheney campaigning with Harris was another reason for them to vote for Trump. Sane people know the whole “drain the swamp” thing is bullshit but a lot of his supporters buy that bullshit, and Cheney is definitely a swamp creature.

She needed a little over 230k (at last count) in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.

Edit: And the total popular vote gap is down to ~2.65mm.

It’s three hours of someone almost, but not quite, removing a splinter.

Couple things I’ve tried to watch recently that I couldn’t find anywhere. I was even willing to buy it (streaming, maybe they’re available on physical media).

Less Than Zero

Very annoying.

That’s funny. I’m watching it for the first time in a long while right now. I wanted to watch Less Than Zero but I can’t find it anywhere.

A “yes” vote means no slavery. See my comment in reply to lanik2000.

I think you’re misunderstanding them.

A “yes” vote means no slavery. This was a prop to make forced prison labor illegal. Our voter guides contain arguments for and against propositions and rebuttals to those arguments, usually. No group even bothered to make an argument against the prop or a rebuttal to the argument for. They’re also saying, in general not just this prop, if no one can even be bothered to make an argument for one side, they’ll probably go with the only side that did make one. In this case that would be no slavery.

This was weird. There are always arguments both ways unless it’s just some editorial change to some law that for whatever reason has to go before the voters. This was totally non-controversial, or at least it seemed that way. I don’t understand how it didn’t pass.

I’ve only heard that applied to foreign diplomats. Because the parents have diplomatic immunity, they and their children aren’t “subject to the jurisdiction thereof.”

I’ve already heard “it was the war and Holocaust that were bad, not necessarily the fascism.”

Keep fighting the good fight against the unnecessary \s. I appreciate you.

I’ve heard a lot of that, I’ve also heard that pollsters have overcorrected because of those misses and are now overstating Trump’s numbers.

I have no idea which is right. And I wouldn’t know where to start. How do you separate reasoned analysis from people saying smart sounding things with lots of numbers because they’re either scared what they’re proposing is true, or because they hope it is?

I remember my parents civilly disagreeing about H.W. vs. Dukakis, and later H.W. vs. Clinton. There was never a problem there, just a civil discussion and a difference of opinion. But if either of them was a MAGAt, I think they would be spending their last decade or two apart, and they’d be better off that way too. Shit has been on a while different level the last 10 years, at least.

You have an old favorite team-up of Germany and Japan?

I’ve got some bad news for you…

Wasn’t there also the thing where he offered a horse to a masseuse if they’d give him a happy ending? A couple days before the story broke he made some statements supporting Republicans then said “watch the left come up with a story to take me down now that I’m a Republican,” or something like that. All his political shit has been downhill and ever more unhinged since.

He was always saying side-eye worthy shit, but in a generic rich guy way. His political stuff, before the horse thing, was always progressive-ish. Whether that was what he ready thought, or as the biggest shareholder of an electric car company he knew which side his bread was buttered on, I’m sure I don’t know. But it seems like trying to preempt the horse story was the turning point for his public persona.
