US Politics, June 2020 — You have to dominate.

dick gephardt is a concept
by which we take out our bad days
i'll say it again

hence my turn to the writing of Ossoff slashfic

I was born in lville and lived there til I was 18, most of my living relatives are there and I have tons of friends there so I pay pretty close attention, and I gave $$$ to the Booker campaign. There is no question that Booker excited Louisville, but also he was entirely obscure until the murders of Breanna Taylor/ David MCAtee. And there is no question that a white woman is going to do better throughout the state than a black man in a senate contest. Should McConnell persist, which is more than likely, I would tend to think that Booker has a much brighter future than McGrath, who most people on this thread must know is consulted within an inch of her life and is from the part of Kentucky that is more or less part of Cincinatti, alongside the lunatic Thomas "Dr. No" Msssie and those dick kids who fucked with the native american man at the washington monument.

I went to school with and knew well McConnell's eldest daughter and knew her two younger sisters. It is clear to me that they plainly despise him and were particularly humiliated by his role shephereding Brett Kavanaugh. The middle daughter is a DC do gooder of some note.

xp I'm from Missouri and even I have no interest in defending the honor of Dick Gephardt.

In other news people are just going to shrug at and ignore, Arizona GOP official Paul Peterson pleaded guilty to selling Pacific Islander babies https://t.co/FMorZoX67P

hey isn't this the shit all the QAnon folks are supposed to care about

Hey, who hasn't sold a few babies here and there

frogbs, you seem to not understand that they only care about babies who lack melanin

oh, you don't get that I was being SARCASTIC !????

Point taken, could be read as non-sarcastic, too.

sorry, my brain is totally broken by all this shit

it's one thing to see the right wing conspiracy machine get more and more insane and implausible but it's something else to see all those crazy conspiracies manifest themselves inside the Republican party and nobody giving a shit

It's like the whack-a-mole of giving a shit, because no matter which one you focus on there will be a different one popping up in a few seconds, which is 100% by design

The GOP is literally a dude pointing at an aghast bystander and howling 'MURDERER!' while actively murdering someone with the other hand.

Literally. They are literally that.

I think we may have covered that everything they accuse Democrats of doing is projection, hmm, let me see

that does ring a bell...

but despite how eternal nature of the issue, it does seem to be bad that republicans literally kill people every day by refusing to expand medicaid so that rush limbaugh won't get mad at them

gotta love those little npr segments where they lightheartedly note that a lot of people think mcconnell is really evil and that his nickname is "grim reaper" and "darth vader", then everyone does the quick short npr laugh and moves on. but actually...mitch mcconnell has the blood of hundreds of thousands of people on his hands imo

hi, i'm steve inskeep. senator mcconnell, by any measure you are a remorseless bloodthirsty murderer of hundreds of thousands of people who must be stopped by any means possible. but let's talk about your recent support of face masks...

I stopped listening to NPR about a week after the 2016 election, highly recommend

I should say, too, that NPR was a vital source of news where I was living. I just couldn't stand the equivocating nature of the programming any longer, and then their reporting on the national tragedy where a bunch of friends died sealed the deal.

(heard about that latter reporting from friends)

it's nice that this NYT bounty story gave another oppty for organic-lifestyle liberals to sound like chest-thumping cold warriors day after day.

Leon Panetta was just on BBC America and seemed confused whether such bounties would be "murder" or "an act of war." As he would be.

My wife has our car radio set to NPR and two seconds between starting the ignition and turning the radio off is easily the worst part of my day. Would honestly rather watch Fox News.

oh cmon, it can be annoying but it is not that terrible. you must have never seen fox news.

The constant he said/she said on NPR is like nails on a chalkboard.

NPR voice/editing is the worst radio voice.

I gave up on NPR after getting ragingly mad about Diane Rehm gladhanding some Bush-era monster circa 2012.

Is Terri Gross still the worst interviewer on Earth?

Is it fashionable to dislike NPR?

That honour goes to Geraldine Doogue who does Saturday morning on ABC radio national in Australia who combines a lack of preparation with a careless conservatism and an inappropriate guffaw that sounds like someone strangling a goose.

i was on a long drive maybe 5 years ago and they were re-airing an interview Gross did with Trent Reznor and the contempt in his voice was undeniable. and he had every right because it was a laughably bad interviewing.

xpost
NPR is Fox News for people who will watch Fox News later in life, but don't watch it yet.

don't agree

maybe she lost it over the years but Gross's interview with Nancy Reagan about the AIDS crisis was great

don't listen to NPR anymore because I'm not commuting, but c'mon - worst radio voice, worst interviewer on Earth, ragingly mad, nails on a chalkboard, would rather watch Fox News - they are not that bad

I’m serious. NPR radio’s national news coverage is sonically very unpleasant to listen to, it’s politically vacuous at best, and you learn nothing from it if you’re even modestly informed. I’d rather watch Fox News.

As someone who is forced to watch Fox News regularly, no, no you don't

don't know much about you caek but I can't imagine you watching Fox News

Cop Rock, then

I would rather watch Fox News any day of the week—at least it has comic/shock value.

I find NPR insufferable not just for its patronizing pseudo/neolib politics and desperate both-sides-ing but as w/ caek its relentlessly beige tone and production values...I listen to a minute and feel like my phone has died and I’m stuck in an dentist’s waiting room with the last six issues of Time magazine

At the request of many great Americans who live in the Suburbs, and others, I am studying the AFFH housing regulation that is having a devastating impact on these once thriving Suburban areas. Corrupt Joe Biden wants to make them MUCH WORSE. Not fair to homeowners, I may END!

Great timing with this one fuck was

Is it fashionable to dislike NPR?🕸

Hickenlooper wins the primary, will take on Gardner in CO

"I find NPR insufferable not just for its patronizing pseudo/neolib politics and desperate both-sides-ing but as w/ caek its relentlessly beige tone and production values"

right

"I may END!" for July thread title.

This motherfucker has only ever studied a McDonald’s menu

coulda sang the mcdonald's menu song in the 80s

Jfc at that tweet about AFFH and FHA.

he is such a dumbass and such a piece of shit aaaaaaaaaa

I googled AFFH and one of the first returns was some vile trash from earlier today in national review, which presumably was turned into a Fox News segment that became a meme that trump halfway understood

I like NPR

He retweeted a guy who calls himself "Trump's Black Grandson".
