And if we're lucky a ex-pizza junkie who looks like a rat version of a human will be president

ex-McKinsey wonk who looks like a human version of a rat (Eric H.), Thursday, 3 November 2022 14:07 (one year ago) link

Fair point, I was idly daydreaming about the remote chance of a semi-functional democracy in two decades.

Buttigieg is pretty much the only talking head Democrat on TV who knows how to answer a bullshit question effectively, and since cable news is 100% bullshit questions he's pretty much the #1 Democratic media personality

Some people like humans who look like rats, what can I say

I honestly would love for a Dem candidate to run on a platform of promising, if they win, mandatory drag queen story hour, critical race theory, woke nightmare horror shows.

GOP messaging is pretty clear: If Dems win, it’s going to be a Drag Queen story hour, critical race theory, woke nightmare horror show.

To be completely fair the “he looks like a rat” thing was kind of the last hurrah of those extremely helpful reflexively anti-Dem left Twitter trends Table is kind of mindlessly repeating in a sad pathos sort of way.

Great news that stands no chance of hell of enforcement:

n Monday the Supreme Court left in place a ruling that allows the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to issue mask mandates on planes, trains and other forms of transport, as it had for more than a year during the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Supreme Court denied a California attorney’s request to overturn a U.S. Court of Appeals ruling in the D.C. Circuit from December, which found no merit in his claim and affirmed that the TSA does have the authority to maintain security and safety within the transportation system, including imposing the masking requirement.

California attorney Jonathan Corbett had claimed that the TSA did not have the authority to mandate masks on airlines and other types of transportation during the Covid-19 pandemic. The Court of Appeals had disagreed, ruling that the agency “plainly has the authority” to address transportation safety and security

lol I remember in like 2004 there was this controversy b/c some political ad was flashing the word "DEMOCRATS" across the screen and at certain points it (maybe unintentionally?) cut off part of it to just say "RATS". whereas now political ads are like "Mandela Barnes will personally send criminals to smash your baby's head in" while playing riot footage against a picture of his face digitally altered to look darker

I'm thisclose to throwing out my tv set the next time I have to see an ad with a red-faced Joe Rogan shouting misleading bullshit about Pritzker. Not a campaign ad development I've welcomed. Less Rogan, more Dick Bigger Jr.

Greg Abbott has a commercial with a twentysomething woman talking about how much she trusts him to keep her safe blah blah blah and then she's like "oh yeah, he's my uncle - Tio Greg"

You don’t have to think he’s great obviously but Pete Derangement Syndrome is very much a thing that’s indicative of larger ways the same people who embrace have let themselves become dumber and get played by stupid bullshit online that helps republicans.

“Big” Don Abernathy, Thursday, 3 November 2022 20:45 (one year ago) link

it is pretty crazy here in WI though you will see a commercial claiming that Evers let loose thousands of violent criminals and then immediately after one fact checking it saying "no the governor can't even do that if he wanted to". was watching some daytime TV while working out and I swear it was like 80% political ads

Every McKinsey consultant should be cast into a pit of vipers.

papal hotwife (milo z), Thursday, 3 November 2022 20:47 (one year ago) link

I'm not sure what bugs ya. Biden'll be the nominee unless he croaks, and if he loses in '24 we don't have to worry about Pete or any Dem winning anything again.

Don is overestimating the importance of the Secretary of Transportation imo, but more importantly nothing I do online helps or hurts republicans

The last words the jury heard before the prosecutors rested their case - Defendant Elmer Rhodes saying: “We should have brought rifles. We could have fixed it right then & there. I’d hang f**king Pelosi from the lamppost.” In the courtroom, you could have heard a firing pin drop.

polling shows that 25% of straight ticket Republican voters turned because BasedLenin69 tweeted "mayo pete lol"

That “ oh yeah my random posts mean so much” thing doesn’t work and it’s just being dishonest. The navel gazey “blah blah McKinsey” nonsense like it fucking matters given the stakes of everything. In retrospect it will seem insane to norma people that everyone wasn’t just cringey “blue no matter who” wine mom while all this stuff was going on.
