U.S. Politics, November 2024: GARBAGE DAY!!

And yes subsequently it’s hard to do anything, but not mentioning it seems problematic

Trump Justices took away Roe and made abortion a state issue

If your expectation is that voters will be avenging angels for judicial appointments for a decision that came down after the appointer was no longer in office, you are doomed to disappointment.

The federal Democratic Party not (being capable of) doing anything about it, maybe? Absent a willingness to pack the courts and reverse Dobbs on the national level, abortion is a state issue and voters have routinely turned out to defend choice at that level but outrage alone isn't going to be much of a boost for a national candidate.

There are hundreds of tik toks by women who voted for trump using this as the reason they did not consider or looked past abortion/repro health when voting. Said it was a non-issue now that it's state level and since KH wouldn't haven't been able to anything about it, it was a non-issue. Genuinely get the impression this is how a ton of people reconciled their votes.

“I will pack the court with teenagers to protect your rights” - maybe not a winning argument but at least an actionable promise instead of banking on residual anger.

There can/should still be a national reproductive health law! Granted you’d need control of White House and Congress, but it’s emphatically untrue that the president can’t do anything about it.

I agree with you completely! I am not one of those women and it drives me nuts but I keep seeing women saying exactly that excuse.

I keep editing my posts but messing up. Stupid phone. I meant to say 'using" that excuse.

this is going to be a cabinet full of rapists isn't it?

Are ballots still being counted?

CA is still 88% counted

Interesting-- at this point Trump is beating his 2020 total by about 2 million votes. Harris is 8 million behind Biden's 2020 total.

Maybe we need to do one o them "Deep States"

“The stuff that he eats is really, like, bad,” he told marketing industry podcaster Joe Polish at a live recording of his “The Joe Polish Show” published Tuesday. “Campaign food is always bad, but the food that goes onto that airplane is like just poison. You have a choice between—you don’t have the choice, you’re either given KFC or Big Macs. That’s when you’re lucky and then the rest of the stuff I consider kind of inedible.”

Wonder how long it's been since Trump took a normal dump.

they've got to be grinding up laxatives in his McFlurries to keep him from dying

this is going to be a cabinet full of rapists isn't it?

Kavanaughs all the way down

wait they've discovered something more inedible than KFC?

Golden Chick

Church’s

Popeye’s anywhere outside of Louisiana

popeyes is good where i am but i'm not a popeyes expert.

good enough that i wish there was one in my town here. there is no decent fast food here. and no fried chicken! shameful, really.

KFC is gross. I've never been to Popeye's or Church's. The best fried chicken I've had is the salt and pepper chicken from a couple of Chinese restaurants in SF - Capital Restaurant in Chinatown in particular. It is crispy but is not breaded and there is no flabby skin. It is served with sliced hot green peppers

Popeyes is great.

Popeye's is good but I prefer Church's and I feel weird for that. There's a Korean wings spot near me that has my actual favorite fried chicken.

awesomeness

I mean, why not?

Rahm Emanuel weighs bid for DNC chair

I guess it's time to stop thinkin' about tomorrow, because it'll be here all too fucking soon and it's written somewhere that "sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof".

America to Democrats: “We ARE going back”

Democrats to America: “What the fuck do you want from us?”

Rahm is dying to hoover up all the troops who get tossed out by SecDef Fox News

Love forcing Mr. alt-health RFK Jr to eat McDonald's from the jump. You signed yourself up for obedience and humiliation.

^^^ excellent short piece, thanks.

he preferred what he learned from a 25-second TikTok video made by a spiral-eyed homeschool casualty who'll be hospitalized next month with an illness that hasn't sickened a human being since the Bronze Age

Pretty good turns of phrase here

the art of invective has flourished in the age of the internet

It’s worthy of David J Roth, the master of such invective
