The OSHA Violation known as Soft Machine

Can't believe Gwen has to put up with this youtube.com/watch?v=Bibskx…

In the hard days ahead, I will take joy in the knowledge that I can ruin your day merely by getting out of bed in the morning.

@MelissaWegman3 @ettingermentum Had an issue in the rurals but better urban and suburban gains

The rural shifts towards Trump in states like Georgia should not be killer for Democrats. Warnock saw the exact same thing in 2022 and managed to overcome them with metro area shifts compared to 2020. Kamala just isn’t seeing what he saw among the base.

@Elvis_Bob @vodkasnowflake Like geez it's almost like being on the right makes you bad and the concept of a sane and reasonable conservative opposition that doesn't hate life and the concept of happiness is completely delusional or something

@Elvis_Bob @vodkasnowflake Ever heard of the southern strategy? 1. Didn't start with Reagan 2. They deliberately courted the christian nationalists and white supremacists, they were not co-opted by them. 3. Did this literally as a basis for their modern existence as a party.

“a normal Republican Party” wanted to ensure you and your husband could never get married

@Elvis_Bob @vodkasnowflake Oh okay he wasn't opposing gay marriage he was just deliberately carrying out a genocide of the gays which really backs up your point that the GOP was a sane and reasonable force in politics at any point in modern history

@vodkasnowflake Absolutely nothing. He was hoping AIDS would wipe out "the problem" for him. But he didn't ban gay marriage nor even comment on it.

@shinosarna @vodkasnowflake Where were those homophobes and racists hanging out before maga energized them exactly?

@vodkasnowflake Look if you pretend that modern Maga movement didn't energize violent racism and queerphobia you have your head in the sand.

@Gallus11B @vodkasnowflake Then we don't want the normal republicans that fucking love MAGA to stick around.

@vodkasnowflake I agree with that. Conservatives have always had regressive policies that I strongly disagree with. Basically every thing they espouse lol. And certainly the venn diagram between Maga and "normal Conservatives" has a lot of overlap. But Maga is objectively worse.

@lefttwick @ettingermentum There hasn't been a single time in my life where I had to deal with a regulatory agency on an individual level and it made my life less convenient or free, except maybe customs at the airport

@fearsythed @MarxNotNarcs @souljagoytellem I mean other than the fact those clowns did a hostile takeover by deliberately sabotaging their electoral chances in 2019 in order to scapegoat Corbyn for the loss and then sailed to victory last year because the Tories were historically unpopular?

@MarxNotNarcs @souljagoytellem Surely there a structural reason clowns keep getting into power in the party?

Embarrassing lolz

@maxo531 @TERF_Father @detranslaw Someone's perception of themselves and expectations of your behavior because of that self perception is, in fact, useful information. Even if you don't fully understand the exact concept that the perception is built around. You're asking all communication be cross qualia lol

This is amazing #DeTransLaw! I can't believe I missed this part! Sabrina Sellers hits back on @detranslaw's insane amount of concurrent detransitioner lawsuits that they confused Morgan Hale with Soren Aldaco in their Brief in Opposition to the Motion for Summary Judgment! 🙈

@blockchaineco22 @Pro__Trading @WillRabbe @TheWeekendMSNBC Good thing Trump is promising to blow it on the economy then

@Pro__Trading @WillRabbe @TheWeekendMSNBC I lived up in that area for 11 years. They will vote for economic policies b4 anything else. Also it is heavy traditional catholic and traditional Lutheran communities. Harris isn’t winning Iowa.

ANN SELZER on @TheWeekendMSNBC: We don't have as much data as we might like about why this is happening. But our consensus from the reporters who work this beat is that the abortion ban went into effect this past summer... I think it has gotten people interested in voting.

@dakplswin3 @Kanusfoot @fizzbhau @sam_d_1995 @ettingermentum @ImNotOwned Apparently a pac of Clinton or Bust voters from 2008

@Kanusfoot @fizzbhau @sam_d_1995 @ettingermentum @ImNotOwned What are PUMAs

Warren highkey being terrible electorally is such a funny minor subplot

@CollinRugg @VetBruce None of Megan Fox's kids are trans, she has never claimed her kids are trans, her kids have never said they're trans, they like dressing like that and you're a weirdo trying to police the outfits a bunch of children wear

@VetBruce Is it just by chance that all of Megan Fox's kids are 'trans'?

NEW: JD Vance explains the new phenomenon where white progressives are encouraging their children to be trans so they can virtue signal. Rogan: "There has to be some reason why there is an enormous percentage of Hollywood kids who are trans." Vance: "It becomes a social signifier for a lot of parents." "Look at where the gender craziness is the most common. It's most common among upper-middle-class to lower-middle-class white progressives." "Now, you could believe that there's just something genetic going in the mind of a wealthy white progressive or you could believe that this is a cultural trend we should be questioning a lot more than we are right now."

@ettingermentum You can either have a healthy marriage or be a republican.

Perfect messenger for this statement

@theRedLefty @AnaKasparian Oh she wants to do that, published a whole article about jumping into it head first because she didn't like getting criticism for hating the homeless.

@AnaKasparian Ana please put the phone down. It’s okay to not think Trump is technically a fascist. But this is exactly how people end up going down the right wing pipeline. You don’t want to do that. Take a breather

Ok. Fine. I'll bite. Fascism requires a militarized citizenry, conquest/imperialism, the elimination of our governing bodies (like Congress) and the notion that anyone who isn't part of a master race should be *massacred*. Weird thing to label a guy who brags about not starting any new wars. He also passed criminal justice reform and personally pardoned black inmates who were serving life sentences for drug crimes who Obama was unwilling to pardon. But I'm the "fucking stupid" one. Okay.

@esjesjesj By this definition Hitler and Mussolini were not fascist because Hitler didn't abolish the Reichstag and Mussolini's takeover was a legal process within the preexisting liberal framework.

“Trump isn’t a fascist when I use my own personal definition of fascism.”
