  • Considering evolutionary time scales, this trait may have been a response to something large and dangerous that’s extinct now.

  • Tucker Carlson credits demons for the invention of nuclear technology

  • It was called the ‘Demon Core’ after all.

    What a lunatic. Yeah, demons scratched him in his sleep – in the bed he was sharing with 4 dogs.

    He and his compatriots have completely lost the plot. It would be funny if they didn’t have such a large and rabid following. Instead it’s sad and terrifying.

  • 24-year-old man punches election judge in the face while waiting in line to vote

  • I really hope I’m wrong, but I fully expect at least one shooting incident at a polling place today. I’ve seen multiple posts by redcaps claiming they plan to go armed, and they seem to be spoiling for a confrontation. I really hope everyone can stay safe.

  • He’d have to go to the same polling place though, right? Seems unlikely the people he assaulted would be keen to let him back in.

  • Yeah, we all saw it. It was very public.

    I’ll be glad to finally see some sort of comeuppance in a decade or so, maybe.

    e: Perhaps he’ll even be fined 0.0000000000000001% of his net worth. That’ll show him.

  • Arnold Schwarzenegger endorses Kamala Harris: ‘I will always be an American before I am a Republican’

  • Once he’s back in office, though, this will be one of their main foci again. They’ll go all in on Patriot Act II, barring all foreign entry on the grounds of national security. They basically say that now, just with different words. No more asylum seekers, no more immigrants (which will crash the economy, and they’ll somehow blame that on immigrants, too).

  • Michelle Obama Asks Men to Please Not Fuck Us Over

  • Because that’s ageist. You’re operating on stereotypes. Everyone over 70 I know is socialist, and my dad, who’s 88, is the most socialist person I know because he remembers this rhetoric from when he was a child. He was the first in 2015 to say to me he’d heard trump’s rhetoric before, and it led to very bad places.

    Why should my dad, who says he doesn’t vote for himself, but for his kids and grandkids, not be allowed to vote?

    Plenty of people of all ages have empathy. You only hear from the most obnoxious bastards because their insane ramblings get clicks and eyeballs, but painting all people of any age with a brush dipped in the most unhinged is not productive.

  • MAGA is fascism, full stop. That’s not just my opinion – if you can read this list with honesty and not conclude they’re fascists, you’re lying to yourself:

    1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism
    2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights
    3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause
    4. Supremacy of the Military
    5. Rampant Sexism
    6. Controlled Mass Media
    7. Obsession with National Security
    8. Religion and Government are Intertwined
    9. Corporate Power is Protected
    10. Labor Power is Suppressed
    11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts
    12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment
    13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption
    14. Fraudulent Elections (or claims thereof)

    It’s outright fascism. That is not hyperbole. And fascism is always a suicide cult. It destroys everything it touches, including itself.

  • Harris vs. Trump spoiler’s supporter says the quiet part out loud

    Jump

  • And to punish his perceived enemies, don’t forget that part. And give unchecked power to cronies who openly want to get rid of ‘undesirables’.

    The Nazis didn’t go full Jews-in-ovens at the beginning. First they came for the socialists, and the queers, and the political dissidents, and then everyone who wasn’t white, straight, and christian enough.

    Fascists eliminate everyone until the only ones left to oppress are themselves. They need an enemy, and if you don’t think they’ll eventually come for you, you’re wrong.

    If trump wins, it’ll be historic, all right. Children in 2060 will learn about the 20s and 30s in school as a cautionary tale, and if they’re lucky, some holocaust survivors will still be alive to speak at assemblies. Hopefully those survivors won’t be showing the scars of a nuclear bomb like I saw in school as a child.

  • Florida teen with machete arrested for voter intimidation at polling place

    Jump

  • We’re going to see much more of this in the coming days. At least one shooting at a poll place will undoubtedly happen, and more than likely an actual shootout old-west style where multiple people show up armed and it escalates.

    I’m not just guessing – this is based on what people have actually said. Some idiots have proudly proclaimed they’ll go to the polls armed and sound to be spoiling for a confrontation.

    I hope nobody is actually killed, but I won’t be surprised. This election is already hotter than I’ve ever seen, with bomb threats, election offices being shot at, drop boxes set on fire, etc, and it’ll only get worse. The fascists are itching for bloodshed.

  • Michelle Obama Asks Men to Please Not Fuck Us Over

  • Is this sarcasm? What about people who are infertile? Take away their vote? I had to have an emergency hysterectomy at 28 after my only child was born. Should I not have been allowed to vote after that?

    Yes, selfish sociopaths exist but, believe it or not, most people are able to use empathy to put ourselves in others’ shoes without having to literally be in their position.

    If your comment isn’t /s it’s pretty offensive.

  • Roger Stone was behind that madness, as well as J6 – he was so confident in their J6 plans, he had a legitimate documentary team following him that day as they did their ‘war room’ fuckery at the Willard hotel, and some of their footage was used at the J6 congressional hearings.

    And good news, everybody! Stone is still walking free and doing more of the same fuckery as we speak! He’s still, to this day, a main operative behind trump’s campaign. Will be wild!

  • For four hours, Christians in Georgia gathered to worship Trump. I was there.

  • As opposed to all the times in the past where it had more to do with zealotry towards a figurehead (kings, saints, martyrs, etc) or outright heinous acts. This is what Christianity has always been. It was only ever about peace and love on paper. It’s always been about idolatry and control in practice.

  • My ex took my last name, because he had siblings with children and my family name would have died with me. It was a gift to my father that his* grandson would carry the family name forwards. And no, that wasn’t a red flag – we were married for 30 years.

  • I can easily imagine that, too. I saw an early concept render that went around a decade ago or so when I worked in a design office, and we half- joked they’d accidentally released a low-poly model by mistake. Or it was some sort of weird joke we didn’t get.

    It’s so ridiculous and broken, it has Musk’s fingerprints all over it (and good luck; fingerprints are near-permanent on that ludicrous metal finish they chose.)
