I think Harris could have had a more nuanced answer than, “Fracking, fuck yeah!” But it’s a damn shame that, to win the electoral college you have to be all drill, baby drill.

Although that’s politics… “It’s great to be here in Chicken Fark, Arkansas! I know, in the past, I have been accused by my opponent of being opposed to chicken farking. But I’m here today to tell you that, if elected, I promise to fark more chickens than any president in history!”

Still voting for Harris, obviously.

Leopards eating faces is exactly what this is, though. “Muslim who supports Christian Nationalists because they hate gay people shocked that Christian Nationalists also hate Muslims.”

I would say Mastodon already has. I’ve been spending a lot of time there over last few weeks and there’s more content than I can consume. Breaking news stories are covered well, including live blogging, although a lot of that content is cross-posed from Xitter. Plenty of people to follow, including authors, photographers, journalists and scientists. An increasing number of media outlets have a presence there, as well.

Xitter still has an order of magnitude more users, but Mastodon is mostly Nazi-free (which is nice).

Came here to say the same thing. The tone of the debate is not going to improve with the bomb-throwing toddler onstage with the rest of the clown show.

It’s a cult. MAGAts need deprogramming, not negative ads.

And this particular group are not good guys, either.

What did you expect the fine people in his district to do, vote for the Democrat?

The only strategic thinking that McCarthy seems capable of is, “How can I keep my job today?”

He could have been more bipartisan, he could have made deals across the aisle, he could have reigned in some of the clownshow investigations his side of the aisle have been promoting. He might have been able to put together a centrist coalition that would have neutered the Freedumb Caucus. But McCarthy, like most Congressional Republicans, is incapable of complex thought.

And now he’s stuck. If he makes a deal with the Democrats to avert a shutdown he loses his job. If there’s an extended government shutdown a lot of Republicans are going to lose their jobs next year. Not to mention the pain a shutdown will cause to ordinary Americans (as if any Republican cared about that).

Yep, nothing but the best snake oil for the rubes. Republicans love their crooked businessmen.

Now come on, she wasn’t actually on her knees in the theater. Unless there’s some unpublished photos out there (asking for a friend).

The entire Freedumb Caucus is still on board. The “shocking” revelation that Biden hasn’t committed any impeachable acts isn’t going to deter the GQP at all.

Trump demands a lot of things.

72 million Americans lived through four years of Trump and liked what they saw so much they wanted four more years. We ignore him (and his cult) at our peril.

I’m not surprised at all.

Reminds me of Anne Romney trying to relate to ordinary Americans by saying she and Mitt also struggled with living expenses when they were newlyweds. In fact, it got so bad that they were forced to sell some stock to make ends meet.

That’s Gym Jordan to you, son.

Coach as in, “Coach, I have a cramp in my leg right here. No, not there. A little higher.” That kind of coach?

I think this is where Biden’s decades of congressional experience shows. He does the same bipartisan dog-and-pony show that Obama did, but Biden has been more effective at actually getting legislation passed.

My argument to progressives who were reluctant to vote for Biden was that he would sign progressive legislation if congress could pass it. I think that’s been borne out.

The article addresses that. Because the media doesn’t report on Biden supporters, the public gets the impression that no one likes him much. I also think approval ratings are not contextualized well, because you rarely see how many people who disapprove of Biden’s presidency are right-wing and how many are leftists.

From a personal perspective, while I was not a reluctant Biden voter (would have never voted for Trump), he was far from the top of my list in the 2020 primary. I think, considering the obstacles he’s faced, Joe has been a much better president that I expected. That’s in spite of Republicans ratfucking student loan relief and robust electoral reform.

I guess the reviewer doesn’t care about software updates, because Motorola’s support is abysmal.
