this episode seems familiar hmm i wonder why that is...

https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/she-the-people/wp/2013/08/01/north-carolina-gov-pat-mccrory-gives-protesters-cookies-seriously/

quote:

North Carolina GOP Gov. Pat McCrory hand carried chocolate-chip cookies to abortion bill protesters outside the Raleigh governor’s mansion in a let’s-make-up gesture. The surprised recipient said he told her, “‘These are for you. God bless you, God bless you, God bless you.'” The cookies were returned, and it wasn’t because he forgot the milk. The note on the untouched plate read: “We want women’s health care, not cookies.”

The Tuesday scene, described by The News & Observer, was fallout from McCrory’s Monday night signing of legislation that, among other provisions, will make clinics adopt some of the regulations that apply to ambulatory surgery centers, and allow health-care providers to opt out of performing abortions if they object. Opponents say the new law will limit access to abortion by forcing clinics to close, while McCrory and the bill’s supporters say the health and safety of the state’s citizens, not politics, are what’s at stake.

not to eviscerate the joke in the crib but it hits too many points to not be satire, and I wouldn't do this but multiple people in this thread have taken the bait and goddamn SA is better than this

1. THREAD:
2. Hamiton_Fan_76
3. 1/
4. Deconstruct
5. Racsexism
6. "Corncob"
7. Outrageous connection between "corncobbing", soul food, and cornbread
8. "Not for me!!"
9. "The bros"
10. ""Wolf whistle"" (vs. dog whistle, to make it even more clear)
11. "We have to analyze the gender perspective"
12. "Phallic"
13. Rape implication
14. Triple :thinking: vs singular

That is to say:

Especially dumb since Obama himself said Libya was his worst foreign policy mistake, even if his take on the how/why it was a mistake just demonstrates why American foreign policy keeps failing so hard.

the nexus of the better deal seems to be this site: https://democrats.senate.gov/abetterdeal/which which rehashes schumer's op ed, tax credits for employers and all, and promises they'll have more "in the coming weeks" (i dont think theyve announced anything new in the past three weeks or so since the schumer op ed)

This all seems like there's the potential for hypocrisy given the blowback the GOP governor of North Carolina is getting for offering protesters cookies, his repugnant policies aside.

I mean either food bribes are okay or they're not or we can all understand why people do not want to accept them or we can be outraged by them but let's be consistent

or maybe this is all just political theatre and some people need to make mountains out of minor events to stay relevant.

Nina Turner posted:

'You’re not good enough to be on our property — and, oh by the way, we’re just gonna hand you donuts and water over the barricade.'

This sentiment seems reasonable? They're trying to make it look like Nina Turner is irrationally offended to be given donuts, when it's actually about not being let into important places. It's like they don't expect people to be curious about how the whole donut meme originated once they start it. When I go back to the root of it, this one sentence tells the story.

tldr meme wars are tastier to tweet vampires than donuts
