Dubya and his dad were probably the least racist Republican presidents ever. I'm sure the Bushes dropped the n-bomb, but they weren't campaigning on welfare queens or immigrant rapists.

I missed the details and didn't see it here, but I guess there was some nothingburger case up before the Supreme Court yesterday, and all 6 conservative justices recused themselves, so the remaining three didn't have quorum and the case had to be thrown out.
What's the likelihood they pull some poo poo like that with some or all of Tmurp's cases?

Trump could drop dead tomorrow and he'd still be the Republican nominee


Lots of times you guys post these clips and I read the little text blurb and roll on by, because I can't stand listing to that fat orange gammon blather about bigly yuge, but this time I clicked it and I just gotta ask: What the gently caress!? I know Trungus is a tea-totaling weirdo, but he sounds like the last person to give a speech at a trashy wedding rehearsal dinner with an open bar. I've heard more coherence from teenagers recovering from having their wisdom teeth out. He points at the crowd like he's waving away a fart. How the gently caress is this one of the front-runners for our next presidential election?

Anyway I'll have a number 5 with an unsweetened iced tea.

Couple things:

2) What are the odds that the Repubs were so desperate to get RUSSIAN SPACE NUKES ZOMG declassified so that Trungus could campaign off it immediately? "Russia NEVER would have put nukes in space if I were president, which I am because rigged and stollen, but also I need to be again so they de-launch the space nukes!!!" and so on.

...but a major problem in this strategy is that their frontrunner is absolutely besotted with Putin. Wouldn't the automatic assumption be to support someone who shows backbone to such a strategy, as opposed to someone who rolls belly-up with a snap of the fingers?

Oh, Trump supporters don't care that he's actually got the strings on him, only that big daddy tromp YELLS that he's tough on Russia, and HOLLERS about how no other presidential candidate is respected by Putin, who will absolutely do terrible poo poo because of how WEAK Biden is! But someone else pointed out it was just one Rebub asking for it, and I guess I had mentally glossed over that part. I was probably just tired and thinking of everything as a facet of the "Trump wants to campaign on X issue, so we as the Republican Party have to clear the way for him to do so" thing that happened with the border deal.

I know the answer is "stupid loving Republican poo poo", but how the hell is it legal or accepted that some millenial failed real estate agent/ turned terrorist in loving NYC is making decisions for school boards in Oklahoma?

Like don't you actually have to live in the state to be appointed/ given a state job? Fell like that's a given.

Does she do all her work remotely or something? What qualifications does a Tiktok Kiwifarms troll have for education policy?

Holy gently caress Oklahoma government even bigger joke than I thought.
She's head of the "Library Media Advisory Board", for what it's worth, so she's supposed to be the one that decides what books get banned. However, she's already used her platform to oust a principal who did some drag shows a long time by outing him and getting his school paralyzed with bomb threats until he resigned.

I'm noticing a trend with her targets getting swamped with bomb threats, and that poo poo's unusual in Oklahoma, so I wonder how hands-on she is with that.

Her position lets her keep her hands technically clean insofar as she has never interacted with a student. Ryan Walters, the rear end in a top hat who appointed her, is a danger to the state, and since he has a prominent role in Trump's re-election campaign, he's made it obvious his ambitions will not be contained to just the dust bowl.

All of the anti-IVF posts on twitter (ugh)X have made me wonder if anyone has come at Elon yet, since like, almost all of his (acknowledged) chilluns is made that way.

Anyway, Libs of TikTok is probably not going to get in any real trouble for her role in the death of Nex Benedict, as much as I would like her to. Coroner report is saying Nex didn't die from injuries sustained in the beating, and the guy that hired Chaya or whatever is also a huge piece of bigoted poo poo who will probably just fire LoTT and then figure out how to spin that firing into yet another stepping stone toward national politics through his psychotic anti-LGBTQ+ platform.

Also, I'm in Oklahoma, and I'm seeing a lot of stuff about Nex from 2 people on the reg, and everyone else is either radio silent or unaware. Most of the alt-communities that I interact with in this hellhole made a lot of "Non-binary kid got killed, because of loving course they did" posts, kind of sliding into this resigned, bitter acknowledgement that this state is a dumpster fire, then they moved on to organizing get-togethers for anyone who knew a middle-aged punk who passed away recently.

Stupid nothing state.

I'm going to a vigil for them tomorrow. The trans community is fully aware of what's going on and plenty of us are deeply upset about it. The problem is that this poo poo happens on a weekly-to-monthly basis now. If you ever go to a Trans Day of Remembrance get ready to be there for a solid hour while they read the names of all the people who were murdered the year before, and that's just the ones who get reported.

They were also, as it turns out, a Choktaw living in the Cherokee Nation. The local chief is requesting that his Marshal Service be allowed to participate in the investigation due to their residency. The police are very very obviously lying to sow just enough doubt to make the national attention go away. The search warrant they issued very clearly states they suspect foul play.

This isn't even the first vigil I've been to this loving year.

I am so, so tired.

I'm glad that Nex Benedict is getting some attention outside of my own limited slice of worldview, because this whole thing is loving awful.

Native law enforcement does not gently caress around, so that is heartening.

I'm currently involved in a conversation where the other party is asserting that even though the Heritage Foundation directly aided in Trump's transition into the White House, and selected hundreds of cabinet members for his administration, as well as co-authoring the list of SCOTUS nominee picks that Trump used to make his three selections, they have no direct influence over Trump. All those positional picks were just suggestions that have no weight as to policy or directives, and any perceived influence is coincidental.
Additionally, I am being 'hysterical' for showing any concern whatsoever about Project 2025, which was authored by several members of said Heritage Foundation, including a few lesser members of former President Trump's cabinet. This is just the pendulum swinging the other way, and out constitutional republic is, in fact, too durable for Trump's machinations.
Furthermore, no one should vote for Biden, because he allowed Roe v Wade to be overturned, and Alabama's IVF ruling happened while he was President as well.

I just do not get people.

My almost 75-year-old moderate as gently caress hardcore christian mother was just spitting mad about that Nancy Mace interview today. She never gets angry, so it was really bizarre.

My chud dad was a big fan of the super-creepy lady's SotU response, and we had to explain to him why we all felt it was weird and creepy, and he thought we were being hyper-partisan.

Fox News repeatedly displays a header that reads "Biden's Border Crisis" with scary barbed wire imagery and a menacing red font, and today they were talking about a helicopter crash that killed three service members, and I jokingly asked "Oh no, how did Biden make the chopper crash?" and my dad started to explain in earnest before I just goy up and left the room.
