Like drink the beer, and then flip the horse.

That was the first thing he did. You might have trust issues.

Except then I don’t share anything with my friends and slowly lose them anyway because I’m boring.

Imagine living in a time when you weren’t sure if eating a moldy piece of fruit was going to make you experience euphoric hallucinations or violently ill. I’d probably believe in gods, too, while we all figured out the pattern.

Carpetbagging Idaho state senator…

Ok, Trump and Giuliani are lecherous creeps and at least one of them is a rapist. I’m not defending them in any way.

But it’s not weird to have a type, and if you have kids with someone who is that type, your daughter is going to look a little like her mom. I’d bet if you compared the mistresses of creepy shitbags to their adult daughters, you’d see a lot of similarities.

Many thanks!

Just go to the link, which is a long string of numbers displayed as text in an image so as to be as cumbersome as possible.

Anybody have a link to the image? Article is paywalled.

History is written by the victors, sort of.

Nah.

Common clay of the new West.

Here’s one of Walz’s Falses

Walz: “Their Project 2025 is gonna have a registry of pregnancies.”

False.

Project 2025 recommends that states submit more detailed abortion reporting to the federal government. It calls for more information about how and when abortions took place, as well as other statistics for miscarriages and stillbirths.

The manual does not mention, nor call for, a new federal agency tasked with registering pregnant women.

That’s some hair-splitting bullshit if I ever heard it. How is the federal government going to collect information on abortions, miscarriages, and stillbirths if they aren’t tracking pregnancies? Walz did not mention “a new federal agency” at all. Just that they want to collect the information about pregnancies and how they end.

The other lie was that Trump paid no federal income tax, which is mostly true except for when he paid back taxes in 2016 because he was running for President, and then while he was President, his taxes were paid for him.

Meanwhile, Vance is like “Walz passed a law allowing doctors to murder babies.” These false statements are not at all the same.

No, but that one is rough, too. Stand By Me has the story or the obese kid at the pie eating contest. That one can be forgiven for being over the top, because it was a campfire story being told by one of the kids. So of course it would be exaggerated.

That’s a really good point I never considered. If it’s played for laughs, you want people laughing. If it’s not, you want people grossed out, but not so much they need to mop up in theaters.

The world will be better off when he’s gone, but that doesn’t mean things can’t get worse. Having him face prison, to serve his time and live with the consequences, that’s the closest we have to justice, and it will be the best possible message to his acolytes.

I agree with that. People need to vote like democracy is at stake.

I don’t want him to die before he gets to prison. If that happens, he becomes a martyr. He’s in the ground never having faced any consequences for his littany of crimes.

Sure, but at that point it’s no longer dog whistle.

Yep.
