Narrator: He definitely knew Nick Fuentes.

"Fuentes can't be a racist. His name is Fuentes!'

TBF, he expressed no anti-Semitism.

BTW Fuentes says De Santis is his guy now

Lord Pickles (Boring, Maryland), Sunday, 27 November 2022 00:20 (one year ago) link

Apparently that’s a misquote? He was saying Ye was his guy, I think.

nothing Ye can say
can take him away
from his guy

I'm glad West is running for president. I want Tulsi Gabbard and Ron DeSantis and every single right-wing nutbag I've ever heard of to run for president in 2024, too. All of them. And I want them all to sucker their idiot followers into setting up automatic donations, month after month after month, until every mouth-breathing knuckle-walker in the country is dead broke. Fuck all these scumbags.

As a congressman to one of the largest Muslim-American constituencies in the country, it’s with immense pride that we watch the first Arab-hosted #WorldCup. The play on the pitch has been phenomenal — but it’s been matched by Qatar’s showcasing of the region’s religion & culture.

— Rep. Eric Swalwell (@RepSwalwell) November 26, 2022

thanks, Swalwell, you're making me agree with Stephen Fucking Miller and Christina Pushaw.

Yeah, that’s not really the lesson to take from this event.

The Senior Senator and Junior Senator from Texas must share the same digital firm, and maybe one or both need to find a new one. pic.twitter.com/lYxMs7eIQG

Maybe it was really Cornyn looking at milf porn on 9/11 all those years ago...

Swalwell's just acting like a mirror that his constituents can gaze at and see themselves reflected back. I'm pretty sure the preponderance of his Muslim-American constituency is excited about and proud of the Qatar World Cup and don't see anything bad about the glowing puff pieces that are being aired in conjunction with it. It's no different than a politician wrapping themself in the flag on July 4.

Aimless, you often come in and explain the logic behind such repellent statements. Trust me when I say I understand the logic and political calculus happening, but that doesn’t make the statement any less repellent. If anything, it makes it worse, in my eyes.

Goose Bigelow, Fowl Gigolo (the table is the table), Sunday, 27 November 2022 21:08 (one year ago) link

Lucky for all of us almost no one pays attention to such statements. They are part of the coin of politics, but they are of such small value in real terms that they get thrown around like pitching pennies. It's not worth getting het up about them because they carry less weight in the world than a late night ad for a cut-rate mattress store.

more difficult than I look (Aimless), Sunday, 27 November 2022 23:51 (one year ago) link

Right! No need to explain them then. We've all read them, we get it.

Malevolent Arugula (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 27 November 2022 23:53 (one year ago) link

akm seemed to be a bit hot about it and wasn't acting like one of the we who 'all get it'.

more difficult than I look (Aimless), Sunday, 27 November 2022 23:57 (one year ago) link

swalwell represents the district I lived in before I moved to Barbara Lee's district, and even though Swalwell acts like an annoying baby sometimes, in general, I like him, which is why I disliked that statement so much.

While Republicans say McCarthy will undoubtedly stick to his vow to ban proxy voting — which they’ve used to accuse Democrats of not showing up to work — privately some GOP lawmakers acknowledge they’re worried about their small margins, given that there’s bound to be at least a few absences from each floor vote.

as a citizen of the united states and, more importantly, a minnesota vikings fan i will die with a white hot hatred of that man

This sucks

As a proud pro-labor President, I'm reluctant to override the ratification procedures and views of those who voted against the agreement.

But in this case – where the economic impact of a shutdown would hurt millions – I believe Congress must use its powers to adopt this deal.

I didn’t vote for Biden!

Waited an hour and a half to early vote for Warnock on a Monday at 11am. This is after two weekend days of early voting! I guess that’s encouraging?

Cow_Art, Tuesday, 29 November 2022 14:17 (one year ago) link

I heard that the first day of voting alone there was something like a 10,000 vote boost among new voters aged 18-24. That's gotta be good.

Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 29 November 2022 14:20 (one year ago) link

Promising:

According to data from Georgia's Secretary of State office, 46% of that weekend's voters were Black and 57% were female.

Early voter turnout for the runoff has been highest in several Democratic leaning counties around Atlanta such as Fulton, Gwinnett and DeKalb County.

Malevolent Arugula (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 29 November 2022 14:24 (one year ago) link

GOP voters gonna be happy to pretend Walker never happened imo.

If you don’t mind my asking, is part of your 90 minute wait in an area where long waits are used as a tool of voter suppression?

Lord Pickles (Boring, Maryland), Tuesday, 29 November 2022 15:22 (one year ago) link

Same-day voting is likely to favor Walker.

immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Tuesday, 29 November 2022 16:50 (one year ago) link

Election-day voting, I mean to say.

immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Tuesday, 29 November 2022 16:50 (one year ago) link

yep

I predict Herschel will still get his 49%.

Vampires 51.7%
Werewolves 49.3%

Andy the Grasshopper, Tuesday, 29 November 2022 18:28 (one year ago) link

lol. As long as they have a shot at Werewolves 50.1% I think they'll keep rolling the dice on getting their brain dead candidates elected rather than find better candidates.

Three Rings for the Elven Bishop (Dan Peterson), Tuesday, 29 November 2022 18:44 (one year ago) link

iirc Werewolves cannot run for President, since they were born in London.

It’s stunning how awful a candidate Walker is.

How did it get this far? I refuse to believe that they couldn’t have found a better black Republican anywhere in the state of Georgia.
