On Sinema at the Sinema: October 2021 US Politics thread

do you understand my desire to show up where these people show up and scream my guts out at them, maybe even just tackle some of them, get my ass kicked by older white men with sunglasses?

anti-masker threatens a woman, pushes an older guy, all while threatening to “fuck them up,” then gets punched in the face and cries about “assault” - very satisfying 🤙 pic.twitter.com/9idiEXN5oq

I guarantee that asshole will think a bit longer before he tries that stunt again.

or be like the Terminator and bring a truck through the door

That works out better in movies than irl. Even I could figure out how to trace a truck with massive front end damage back to its owner.

Wow, that video is Dopamine Spike City.

What if he was wearing a mask?

Charlottesville back in the news

Seeing the NJ Gubernatorial race tighten despite a horrible Republican candidate by any standards is not encouraging.

idk I've read Murphy is gonna pull it off?

I'm not worried about it. I'll be voting in person on Tuesday; apparently when I voted by mail in 2020 I forgot to check the box reading "send me mail-in ballots for all future elections."

it's just uncomfortably close for my liking. I'm in a solid blue county so it's hard to gauge what's going on.

a tight gubernatorial race in new jersey is probably not a great sign for the national environment in general

voters are so fucking stupid

New Jersey's had a lot of Republican governors. Most of them weren't pieces of shit like Chris Christie. This current Republican nominee is clearly a repulsive piece of shit, and he's gonna lose.

yeah he's really bad it's amazing

NJ is going to be fine. Virginia is going to be close!

I saw a minute of a national news interview with a Biden to VA guv Republican swing voter - Democrats made her kid wear a mask in school, etc.

A decrepit ghoul from the Clinton admin might not be the inspiring figure needed for these times, though.

"WE WANT TO DIE. JUST BRING US DEATH. WE WANT FRAPUCCINOS AND LIBERTY AND DEATH AND GUNS."

Yeah well we had a whole primary about that

a Biden

how many is the Oval Office breeding?

Hunter is waiting in the wings.

now go scare National Review with that blind item!

Grandmaster Bash and the Seditious Five

:) I know 4 of them, but who is the guy with the tuft of hair on top?

Matt 'Jailbait' Gaetz

matt gaetz is the one above on the right, who is the one on the left?

never mind I don't even want to know

Oh wait, the other one. He's the 3%ers guy, right?

voters are so fucking stupid

Collectively, I think voters are like cats. They know what they like, they respond positively to warmth and affection, they can be grumpy and spiky, and they are wary of change and unfamiliar things.

so in other words, so fucking stupid

Re: that photo I am sad to say I know exactly where they are, just from the beams in the background.

Wish I didn't know this but I do

This seems very bad.

got a good email from Ron Paul today. it begins:

Dear Patriot,

You can tell a lot about a person based on how they treat animals.

I do not think the word “horrifying” is strong enough for what’s coming out now about the authoritarian hero of the COVID tyranny, Dr. Anthony Fauci.

I think it’s safe to say that most people would look at Snoopy, the beloved beagle character from the Charlie Brown cartoons, and NOT think about what kind of medical experiments can be done on the real-life version of him.

But most people aren’t like Dr. Fauci.

https://www.peta.org/blog/fauci-niaid-puppies-animal-testing/

Accurate or no, a press release written with the hyperbole of political propaganda spam culminating in an embedded video of an interview on Tucker Carlson's show is ... not a great way to ingratiate me to PETA.

PETA hasn't historically been great at ingratiating people to PETA.

You must hate animals.

lol PETA are probably the most effective issue advocacy group in American history, they hold a press conference and then enraged carnivores repeat their talking points at dinner for the next hundred years.

succeeding at messaging by being consistently annoying?

wow, great idea, maybe someone could become president that way

When a press release scans like right wing agitprop (eye-roll at "*Fauci’s* National Institutes of Health"), even if it's for a purported good reason, I tune right out. I suspect a lot of these people are also anti-abortion and anti-vaccine, and have more than just eating habits in common with Morrissey.

Ron Paul should choke on human flesh

but he likes it

"My little state has never complained. We’ve done all the heavy lifting -- we’ve done the mining, we’ve made the steel, we’ve done everything it took for this country to be the superpower of the world," Manchin said. "And all of a sudden they took a breath and looked back and we’re not good enough, we’re not clean enough, we're not green enough, we’re not smart enough, so to hell with you. So, they said, 'Well, to hell with you, too.'"
