IIRC the Affirmative Action Bake Sale was pioneered in the early 1980s by right wing Dartmouth Review student newspaper writers (probably including noted convicted felon Dinesh D'Souza and Laura Ingraham)

So yeah, it's a "joke" that is at least forty years old. Fresh as a daisy.

Yeah, that picture alone is pushing like 20 years old at this point. I seem to recall it was very 2006-ish, maybe 2008, around the time Obama started rising to prominence and the right wing in America just got super mask-off racist in response to Black President.

Hot take, McConnell is a the defacto leader of the Republican Old Guard. Terrible folks but still sane. Granted, this performance sucks but he's absolutely no friend of MAGA Republicans and desperately wants them to be gone. I think this is a small price to pay and now they're finally getting slowly pushed back out of the party.

Gabbard switched parties to Republican, not that she was anything else in reality. She ran as a Democrat because that's the only way to get elected in Hawai'i but she's always been a homophobic warhawk so she'll fit right in at Fox.

Disney is a pile of poo poo but :lol: at seeing settling a town of tax payers with their massive resort upkeep costs and billion dollar bond as a win and raising their property taxes by hundreds of dollars. Disney had already been paying the town their property tax without the town giving anything back to Disney. It was basically a free influx of cash for the town to use. What a win!

The Florida GOP's success mostly comes down to demographic changes + the Florida Dem party's incompetence. DeSantis's culture war bullshit won't fly outside of the reddest, chuddiest states.

does demographic change here mean, a poo poo ton of retiring snowbirds go there and wait to die while being as lovely as possible?

only two of these three legs will struggle in other places. note struggle still means an almost 50:50ish split.

But aren't the Hispanics in Florida mostly Cuban, rabidly anti-Communist, conservative, and have been strong Republicans for decades? It's been my understanding Cuban-Americans are among the voting blocs the GOP could always depend on.

Trump ages slower

"During a Fox News segment about the 2024 race, Perino noted that former White House Secretary Jen Psaki had recently pointed out that Trump is 76 years old while Biden is 79.

But Perino said that Trump's age might not be a hindrance like it would be for Biden.

"Eh, I don't know — everybody ages at a different rate," the Fox News host told Kellyanne Conway. "So, we can maybe set that aside.""

Exactly, and that's why it's so exciting. If they instead conclude that DeSantis won on messaging and strategy, they're going to double down disastrously.

And if not, it might be even worse for them because in swing states they'll have half weirdos and half moderate conservatives trying to maintain a unified message.
