The idea of being 1/3 or 1/4 or 1/1024 of any 'race' is just an absolute lunacy because there is no scientific concept of race and these ancestry dna things that tell you if you're 20% or 2% Jewish or Native or Black or whatever is pure snake oil.

Modern day phrenology but this time we measure arbitrary base pair sequences for smug costal liberals.

It's not "pure" snake oil. They sell the data to cops, that's the purpose of the whole thing. So it's more a smokescreen, made out of snake oil.

e: Also the DNA tests are good because they gave us idiot youtubers asking the question "but, like, how am I not any percent American?"

Dude hosed up the easiest layup of an election with the primary cleared of viable opponents and a hand-picked opponent in the general, lost House seats in an election where the top of the ticket got the most votes in histoty, and there is a 100% chance he'll still be involved in 2022/2024.

His job was to make sure money flowed the right way among the patronage networks and parasites. He did his job just fine.

mrmcd: Feb 22, 2003; Pictured: The only good cop (a fictional one).

When Erdogan tricked Trump into letting him do an ethnic cleansing and then when Trump realized he was tricked he wrote the "Don't be a tough guy! Don't be a fool! I will call you later." letter. Then Erdogan announced he threw the letter in the trash.

Ok the ethnic cleansing part wasn't funny but the rest of it was.

no

though it is (barely) more votes than obama got in '12, that's not notable and in fact kinda lovely when you look at the portion of the electorate and after 8 years of population growth

what? Biden got around 78 million votes which is the most votes in history for a presidential candidate by a wide margin. Trump got the second most. A lot of people voted.

Yes but in a country where the population is growing the raw number of votes isn't that useful of a statistic. Most presidential elections set number of votes records because the total pool of possible voters keeps growing.

a friendly reminder that the only reason he wasn�t forced out of office by his own party was because the two dudes in line to replace him had a rape scandal and a blackface scandal of their own (and the other guy with the blackface scandal actually told on himself unprompted i guess to get ahead of it??) and the fourth guy in line was a republican

virginia politics are dumb as gently caress and it rules

e: to clarify, his own lieutenant governor (fairfax) tried to get him to resign, and he had the VDP backing him (in no small part due to the fact that he was a black man and it would�ve been A Good Look), and then he got credibly accused of rape and proceeded to immediately back down, and then the AG who would�ve been next up was like �hey before you pass the buck over here, i have also been known to dabble in the ole shoe polish�

the cascade of blackface revelations gave me more energy than almost anything else in my entire loving life and i'm so sad they've petered out. must be some kind of MAD thing these days.
