Mellow Seas posted:Hmm, Musk was born in '71 so a little old for our demographic, but he is extremely immature. Yes! I agree, totally not many other Gen-X fossils here, born in the late 70s! *tugs collar, sweating slightly* Slightly more seriously, back in the early days that would have been a slightly older than normal poster but nothing out of the ordinary. Lowtax for example was born mid-70s, and most of us back then were either a few years older or younger than he was.

Unrelated to RWM and possibly overly philosophical for D&D but it's interesting to think that if Lowtax hadn't become a rich, famous webmaster at a young age he probably would've been less of an rear end in a top hat and he'd probably still be alive. Whenever you feel disappointed about the way your life turned out, remember that it might've been even worse if you had achieved your dreams!

Panfilo posted:Man we can only hope Yes, you are wrong because we haven't tried radical left wing socialism. We've tried Joe Biden. Oddly, that's kind of sort of working. ... Hannity cracked me up today. He's clearly already worried about the 2024 election and was telling his audience that they have to enthusiastically embrace mail in ballots and early voting. You know, the two things that he and the GOP specifically told their voters not to do in 2020 because ELECTION FRAUD. I couldn't parse the whole spiel but something along the lines of how GOP voters have to embrace the "ballot harvesting" and "tactics" of the "radical left wing" since, unfortunately, that's the only way they stand a chance. Pretty sure by "ballot harvesting" he means "collecting the ballots in bulk", ostensibly from the mail and drop boxes and then presumably counting all of them. As one does. So basically getting Republican voters to vote however they can so that their ballots can be counted; as nefarious and diabolical as that sounds.

When they accuse Democrats of ballot harvesting they're implying that it's "ballot stuffing," i.e., thousands of fake ballots being submitted. What they're actually talking about is when someone drops off someone else's ballot, e.g., "Hey neighbor, while you're at the polling station, can you drop my ballot off too?" But when they say that Republicans need to embrace it, they're definitely talking about cheating at a large scale.

https://www.meidastouch.com/news/virginia-gop-official-displays-16-foot-penis-sign-at-youth-baseball-game-to-protest-woke Ron Hedlund, a Virginia GOP rep brought a 16 foot penis sign to a youth baseball game in Virginia that says Biden Sucks on it with Joes face on the head. He also had a wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man that said gently caress Biden. "On social media, one user wrote that police came and made Hedlund put away his massive penis sign displayed directly across from children playing baseball at the park. However, Hedlund then reportedly displayed "gently caress Biden" signs and the police refused to come back out." He made a video explaining why he did it calling anyone who bitched about it Karens and Darrens.

What they're actually talking about is when someone drops off someone else's ballot, e.g., "Hey neighbor, while you're at the polling station, can you drop my ballot off too?" I thought it was more to do with the process of gathering them all up and delivering them to the ballot counters all at once. Or, in some cases, things like voter drives where they'll get a bunch of churchgoers or senior citizens to mark up their ballots and take them in to be counted. There's nothing diabolical or illegal about it. Republicans are just pissed that Trump and his RWM mouthpieces told everyone that the only sure way their vote could remain sacred is to show up on election day like GOd intended for real patriots. I don't see how Republicans doing the same thing is going to lead to widespread cheating but if it's possible, I'm confident they'll figure it out. Knowing these morons, they'll start xeroxing them and white out the signatures.

My impression from local Republicans is that they can't stop doing actual election crimes. They were going after the County Executive, a slimy piece of poo poo and wannabe local boss, but the state AG must have botched the prosecution because he got acquitted.

The complaining about "ballot harvesting" is, at best, ignorant people assuming that, whatever it is, it allows people to cast votes that they shouldn't be able to. (It doesn't.) At worst, it's actively-malicious conservatives that want it banned because they think there is something inherently cheaty/unfair about anything that disproportionately benefits the Democratic Party, and they welcome to disenfranchisement of their political enemies. The second category needs to invent a cheaty-sounding term for it so they can get enough of the people that would be appalled by it to land in the first category and let it happen.

(It doesn't.) Reminds me of what happened to ACORN, who did absolutely nothing wrong. They were shamed and persecuted for handing registration forms with names like "Mickey Mouse" and "Indiana Jones" on them that were obviously fake but ACORN was required by a GOP written law that said they HAD to submit ALL the forms.

OgNar posted:https://www.meidastouch.com/news/virginia-gop-official-displays-16-foot-penis-sign-at-youth-baseball-game-to-protest-woke I had never heard about this guy until this story about the giant penis sign, but apparently he's been a local rear end in a top hat (for Richmond) for a long time. Couple years ago he was protesting a war memorial during a Veterans Day ceremony. https://www.wric.com/news/crime/capitol-police-arrest-two-men-at-the-virginia-war-memorials-veterans-day-ceremony/. quote:The department said shortly after the ceremony began at 11 a.m., a man in a pickup truck drive down Second Street. He then came to an area that had been blocked off as a special parking zone, drove onto the sidewalk and around barricades, back onto a prohibited area of Second Street. Heres another story about him, where he was "protesting" outside of a county managers home in Henrico, VA and had a protective order against him. https://rvamag.com/politics/conservative-group-protests-outside-home-of-henrico-county-manager.html I guess his antics were getting blase so he decided to get more shocking to get attention. The police won't come out for a F**k Biden sign, and I don't know about other people, but I don't even notice gently caress Biden signs anymore. There's not much more beyond violence at this point for this guy to get attention. It's kind of interesting to see this real time escalation from this guy though. Protesting Veterans Day isn't shocking enough anymore, so he switches to harassing politicians outside their homes, then he gets a protective order on him, so he starts to display genitals at kids' events for more attention. gurragadon fucked around with this message at 17:27 on Aug 19, 2023 |

Oh yeah he's a well known local weirdo, he's been showing up with his gently caress Biden sign on random street corners and bridges for a while. He's definitely out to get a reaction; I don't know whether it's true or not, but I've heard speculation that he's basically trying to bait people into giving him dubious grounds to sue. Whether that's the case or not, he does seem to be making bigger scenes as people get used to his bullshit.
