So she cheated.

I disagree. Cheating implies intent, and if your intent was to help a candidate, you’d say something useful. What seems more likely to me is that she accidentally let slip something she didn’t even think needed to be hidden because it was so obvious. Then bad faith actors deliberately latched on to this innocuous event and blew it up into “cheating” because it helped their plan to depress the Democratic vote.

Given that Bernie definitely would have kept the Midwest in the blue column, I'm struggling to think of a state that she won which he would have lost. Virginia I suppose, but even that wouldn't swing the election if he'd held Ohio.

Still stating hypotheticals as fact. Can I borrow your crystal ball?

The burden of proof is on the person making the accusation. You want me to accept that Brazile tried to rig the election in the stupidest way possible. It makes as much sense as Trump’s belief that the FBI was so desperate to destroy him that they collected dirt on him but didn’t release it until after he was elected.

Also, my use of the phrase “seems more likely” should indicate I’m not stating fact.

Yeah the most reasonable explanation for someone giving someone test questions ahead of time is cheating.

And fine it "seems more likely" that Bernie would have won the Rust Belt and the election, because it took a uniquely terrible candidate on every front to lose those states and even in her terribleness she almost won them anyway.

Cheating by giving someone information they already had does not seem reasonable to me.

God, the Devil, and Ben Garrison posted:

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi loves money. That’s why she spends so much of her time fundraising. She is good at hitting up large corporations and wealthy donors.

As for her constituents? She spouts off the usual blue city leftist rhetoric to keep them placated. She represents California’s 12th congressional district, which mostly consists of the city of San Francisco. That city has degenerated under her rule. Its streets are littered with human feces and drug needles. The homeless don’t have money, so they don’t appear on Nancy’s radar.

Pelosi caters to the rich, limousine liberals who can afford to live there. She knows money is power and her wealth bought her a lot of influence in the Democratic Party. Just like Hillary did with her corrupt Clinton Foundation, Pelosi has amassed vast wealth as a politician—she’s worth well over $100 million. Some estimate her wealth is much greater than that. She made sure her son, Paul Pelosi Jr., got paid off, too. Like Hunter Biden, he was involved in kickbacks and Ukraine corruption.

Pelosi is growing very old. She will turn 80 next spring and she’s known for her moments of mumbling, confusion, and forgetfulness. Will she retire? Nah. She loves money and power too much for that. Nancy is a good argument for term limits.

It remains to be seen what Pelosi will do in 2020 to help thwart Trump’s reelection. Her Trump Derangement Syndrome will not be cured any time soon and her endless thirst for money will remain unquenched.

Happy New Year!
It’s weird how often he goes after people for being old when his guy is a 70-something that can’t go a day without uttering some senile gibberish. Attack them from your weaknesses, I guess.

Having a hard time parsing this cartoon. The champagne is the corruption and corruption is made on pelosis vineyard, she then drinks the corruption while celebrating with Jew-Satan - who doesnt have any corruption of their own, nor any particular agenda other than being The Devil.

Its just so meaningless.


I guess he realized if it was JewSatan champagne he'd be venturing too close to Zyklon Ben territory.

Garrison is actually just perpetually horny and confused at his own horniness so he uses right wing political commentary to try and cover it up.

I tried grabbing the Gaybies nominations last night but SA's search only would grab me a few posts. Doing a Google Search pointed at the thread itself seemed to work slightly better, but I think I'm going to have to manually Ctrl f search each page if I want to grab all of them.

Unless someone has a better idea/is not stupid with this poo poo?

If we can't figure out how to make search actually come up with all the results (:thanksradium:), I'll do the needful, hopefully by writing a bot to go through and at least grab permalinks for the posts with "Gaybie(s)? Nomination" in the text.

Seems like the easier thing to do would be to search a common root like "Gayb" and hand-sort out the no-doubt few false positives

There's a guy who posted a thread in QCS about the occurrence of words and phrases for word clouds. He's probably got a harness at least that would let you do it.

You could batch harvest in Postman/curl/wget, but I'd suggest upping your posts per page setting so you have to hit the server less often.

These are the same people who were convinced Obama was a secret Muslim supervillain lying about his allegiances. Of course they'd imagine Trump with a corresponding secret superhero identity.
