You know how paying hush money to a pornstar means you definitely cheated on your pregnant wife?

Paying $78 to a demorat is the exact same thing except it means you cheated on Jesus and lied.

Except Puerto Ricans don't seem particularly interested in statehood. In their five referendums, the only time they voted for statehood was when the "status quo" party boycotted the referendum, and there was only 23% turnout.

And giving DC statehood is rife with issues. I mean...how can it possibly be anything but hilariously corrupt (even by 2018 standards)?

Were any of these referendums after they got nuked by a hurricane and left to die because they weren't "really a part of the United States lol"?

I honestly don't know.

I'm reminded of 2010. However, the difference appears to be not just a lack of enthusiasm (which Democrats had in 2010) but also a sincere belief on the right that up is down.

I guess that's the double edged sword of consuming everything via a propaganda network?

:siren: Okay.

Cop chat is fine, caveat emptor is that there will be some white noise posting which I will ignore if it goes under a couple pages. No threats of violence, calls for lynchings or mob justice, and anything clever or cute in that regard. Guillotine jokes are okay but when we call for real violence it creates problems. I'm going to start with a day off for that in the future. HCT is correct in that the forum rules sheet needs an update, which will be done when I have more time later this week.

Yeah, that's the scary part. You never really know for sure how many bodies a killer like him leaves behind. Bundy's been dead for more then 30 years and they're still not sure how many he killed.

Well in this analogy if the 65 are from Wyoming and the 200 are from California then the GOP wins by continuing to destroy democracy
