And the rightwards pivot chasing the “regretful Trump voter” and that stellar Cheney endorsement.

Republicans voted GOP just like they always did. People who wanted anything resembling change stayed home. Unfortunately they’re going to get that change…

I voted Harris, but the Democrats need to abandon neo liberalism and embrace economic populism. People need affordable housing, healthcare, affordable healthy food, and a plan for the climate that doesn’t involve mass extinction.

That being said, these people won’t live long enough to see the worst of it. I hope that I don’t. I don’t have children, but I imagine that if you’re under 35 right now, you’re going to live long enough to see the water wars.

I think some of this comes with age?

I used to be more willing to watch that stuff 20 years ago, which was almost half my lifetime ago.

But it’s personal choice.

There were some pretty horrendous stuff on TV, particularly an episode of Law and Order LA where they were dissolving a guy in lye in a bathtub and an episode of Medium where a guy was putting out lit cigarettes on the belly of a dog. I noped right the fuck out of those. These were both years ago at this point but I pretty much refuse to watch cop shows anymore as a result.

One aspect of sex in media is probably the accessibility of pornography. It’s not special anymore to see a butt or a nipple, so it’s not driving people to the theaters. When I was a kid the closest thing that I had to a Playboy was the Lane Bryant catalog, so seeing Cindy Crawford’s side-boob was pretty awesome, even if I had to endure Alec Baldwin’s hairy ass for the privilege.

The social acceptance of things seem to be like a pendulum rather than a continuous movement too. It’s definitely swinging towards the prude at the moment. It will swing back eventually.

I mean you wash it. Little vinegar in there is a great fabric softener. This isn’t that guy with the Kleenex box

The lies started on day one and kept on going. My grandmother was a narcissist and a pathological liar. Trump reminds me of her quite a bit…

So tp breaks up too easily. I guess maybe if you’re just catching it? Tissue is okay but it’s not really flushable. Pop the socks in the washer and reusable. Dark colors work best. Or maybe don’t wear shorts/short pants.

As a man with an egg allergy, Itchy…

Socks seem normal.

I draw line at food. That guy with the melon was on another level.

I would tell you but I’m not signing up for the legalese involved in an Adobe Premiere Cloud Subscription. Fuckers reserve the right to use my art as AI training data?

I draw the finest chocolate starfish.

Can we file joinly against the Girl Scouts?
There has to be some kind of violation of the Mercantile Act.

Somoas indeed…

My girl only speaks limited English. She is currently in a panic attack and we’re about 8 miles away from the fireworks. She agrees.

In addition to the other people who replied, the answer is simple:

Fear.

Look at Kinzinger.
Look at Cheny.

You’re labeled a rhino. Your career in politics is over. And then maybe Trump retweets that there should be a military tribunal to try you for treason.

It’s worth noting that treason is one of the few crimes enumerated in the constitution.

Why?

The founding fathers were all guilty of treason to the crown. And virtually anything could be charged as treason under King George.

You have to TRY to commit treason in the US.

Trump at one point asked for a list of our spies in the field. A few weeks later they started turning up dead. Trump had met with Putin between those two events. Trump refused that any records be kept from those meetings. Draw whatever conclusion you want from that knowledge, but I personally find that disqualifying. Let alone whatever he was wanting to accomplish by keeping national secrets in his bathroom in his country club.

He also happily hosted LIV’s golf tournament at Maralago. Who owns that organization? The same folks who paid Jared Kushner 2 billion dollars to “invest”. The Kingdom of Saud.

You just need to pull the “it was in the best interest of the United States” card and it’s an official act.

I really hope that they do.

Because I am worried about the camps.

Tucker Carlson cancelled by big healthcare before he could get the check from Philip Morris.

I am seeing way too many ads for diy shipping container homes. Yep, Amazon is going to corner the market when they age out their containers.

Pathetic.

50% of people are below average intelligence. This is by the definition of averages. Republicans don’t have a monopoly on stupid. They do seem to have a vocal majority of them though.

The waste from this, the people who died needlessly from not getting vaccinated, from drinking bleach, it’s sickening. That sentiment would likely not be shared should the situation be reversed.

That’s 17,000 people who will not be voting in 2024.

More than Trump needed to flip Georgia.

Capitalism!!!

What’s the model of your axolotl?

We really need to come back to reality as a country. Unfortunately it will take another thirty years.

It’s really too bad that Covid wasn’t deadlier. Can we get Covid Classic back?

Super Covid?

Airborne Ebola?

Well, given that the vast majority of these folks are aligned to a particular political party… And it’s an election year during covid/flu/rsv season…

Carry on!
