Look, I agree with you, but you are giving the maga crowd far too much credit. The maga crowd.

Imagine for a second a single person who is going to vote Trump in November forming this thought:

one they are eating pets out of starvation/need, or it’s some kind of cultural miscommunication. Either way it’s a failure on our end to provide or educate.

My favorite was when she clearly (very clearly IMO) seemed about to say "...but this motherfucker..." and restrained herself.

Clearly no government agency is going to do shit about the price gouging, so why would they stop?

Surprised the US didn't block it somehow.

After the debate ended Tuesday night, Republican Rep. Mike Collins of Georgia posted to X, "You want to know who won? Find out who refuses to do a 2nd debate."

I know some folks are falling all over themselves to fawn over the various Republicans who have the, um, courage to come out against Trump now, but all I can see is a bunch of self-interested rats leaving the sinking ship.

I figure the "I was never really a supporter" will start from both elected officials and your Republican neighbors and family members about 1 day after the election gets called for Kamala.

And if Kamala somehow loses, it will be "I knew he could do it all along."

That might be fake smile one. This one?

He had only one of three expressions anytime she was talking, and it was fucking creepy all on its own.

  • I want to fuck the cameraman (seen in OP)
  • I want the cameraman to fear me greatly (such as seen in his famous mugshot)
  • Punchable, fake, practiced smile (as seen in some common Trump memes)

Not investigated by the NYPD though. I agree it's bad that these complaints have been vetted and they still threw them out, but based on the bit you quoted, it's accurate to say the NYPD didn't look at them.

Until this moment I did not sexualize Kamala Harris. Now I'm a little afraid of what fantasies you have awakened in me.

Great point and apologies for glossing over that. I guess my reply just blurred into my general opinion about people dismissing or being grumpy about "celebrity" endorsements or political statements.

My personal entry point to LL Cool J - and I think best song on his best album.

There's a remix that actually has bells, but I thought I should go with the one most will have heard.

I have the unpopular opinion that aside from a couple specific songs I've been lukewarm to every LL Cool J album later than Radio (which was such a banger), but this is so eyebrow-raisingly off the path of what I tend to expect from LL Cool J that I had to post here.

I literally came blind to this new album, and just before hitting play I thought - well unfortunately I can predict I'm not going to get any hard social commentary like from dead prez or etc...

30 secs later it felt like that thought had personally offended him. Track 1 no less.

A retired Aurora police sergeant faces criminal charges for raping his daughter and continually sexually assaulting her and his two adopted daughters, but he remains free from custody while his ex-wife is in jail for objecting to court-ordered reunification therapy meant to repair his relationship with two of his sons.

 

JODIE: The reason it has been difficult for the United States to understand the Palestinian side is not only because of the media but because colonialism is in our history. We can’t face the fact that colonialism is wrong and that it steps on a lot of toes and hurts a lot of people.

“I have spent my career inviting diversity of opinion. I think it’s important to have people at the table when some of the most important decisions are being made that have different views, different experiences,” Harris said. “And I think it would be to the benefit of the American public to have a member of my Cabinet who was a Republican.”

If someone asked me what the theme song was for 2020 as I watched videos day after day of cops abusing protesters and bystanders, this is undoubtedly the only choice. Came up on shuffle last night and immediately took me back.
