“I start kissing them. You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful ancient texts. I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the tablet. You can do anything.”
I’m surprised Alito went with the majority on this one. And a little surprised Kavanaugh did too. I’m also surprised it was an 8-1 ruling.
I’m not at all surprised Thomas was in the minority.
I’m pretty sure I know what his play book said, based on his career up to this point…
Step 1: be a total shitheel in college so everyone there hates you.
Step 2: enter politics through family connections, but make sure to lie about your name so you sound more Caucasian and win over your racist voter base.
Step 3: grandstand so much over stupid shit that you become the target of meme conspiracies.
Step 4: run for the presidency against a vindictive, malignant narcissist conman. Make sure to disparage him at every turn to try to make yourself look better.
Step 5: grovel and ingratiate yourself into abject humiliation to said vindictive malignant narcissist conman when he beats you to the party nomination and unleashes political hell on you (and calls your wife ugly).
Step 6: become despised by your own children for continuing to be a total shitheel and a failure of a parent.
Step 7: run away to Cancun during an emergency and when your constituents need you most. Side note: make sure to drag your kids there with you in case it makes them hate you any less. (Spoiler alert: they will just hate you even more for doing that, but oh well!)
Step 8: align yourself with the lunatic fringe of your party, even though they despise you and mock you behind your back.
Step 9: cling on desperately to your current political office for the rest of your pathetic career, knowing you have already peaked and that nobody outside some gullible constituents currently or will ever like or respect you.
It was just Democrats expressing their (accurate in this case) analysis. And Republicans projecting, as per usual.
She does. The problem is nobody knows to look for her office under bridges or in swamps.
Alternatively, would teaching all his red neck lackeys how to use guns more responsibly and effectively be a good thing or a bad thing?
I guess they would be slightly less likely to shoot themselves in the nuts accidentally. But they would also be more effective in murdering more Innocent folks when they have one of their conspiracy-fueled mental health crises.
Good for her. She’s facing a steep uphill battle because she’s not the GOP’s preferred candidate. But the party needs more smart, moderate, clear-thinking representatives like her. Hopefully with this campaign she will be an example for others.
I just assume he’s actually the evil spirit of a white ultra-racist guy that managed to possess the body of some poor black dude.
Ah yes, the party of ‘keep the government out of my business!’ is all for sticking their noses into other people’s business. Fucking hypocrites.
Well, nobody is able to hold him accountable. So he can do shot like this with impunity.
Good thing with this design is it also commemorates most Congress Reps and Senators too.
I don’t have a direct answer to your question. But I advise caution in putting your creative works online in the way you are planning. Between people plagiarizing it (either word for word or just the broader concepts) and AIs doing similar things, you could find that your work gets stolen.
Self-publishing might at least give you a bit of inherent copyright protection. Then at least you will have an ISBN associated to it, and you can always host your stories somewhere (WordPress, Medium, etc.).
If you want to self-publish your stories a free service like Smash Words would work.
One of the saddest things here is that being associated with this shameful racism will be a badge of honor for Collins and the braindead dipshits who were verbally abusing that lady.
This is the state of our society.
In other words: conservative edgelords
Their convention sounds like a gathering of incels looking to implement Gilead, just so they can get laid.
NatalCon’s emphasis on childbirth notwithstanding, there are very few women in the cavernous conference room of the LINE Hotel. The mostly male audience includes people of all ages, many of whom are childless themselves.
It’s just another permutation on the ‘quiverfull’ evangelical doctrine, but weaponized for alt-right politics.
Because what a world facing a climate crisis really needs is more demand for the already stressed supply.
It didn’t work out so bad for Biden last time.
All that said, one way or another these debates are going to be an absolute shit show.
I like this article’s sentiment, but realistically it’s wishful thinking. Trump will still be the GOP presidential candidate November.
We’re too far along in the primary process, there’s too much obstruction in the courts, and there are too many people who are convinced he’s their messiah (for some inexplicable reason) for him to drop off the ballot now. And let’s face it, he’s been ranting incoherently and breaking the law for 8+ years now and it only seems to energize his base.
I hope I’m wrong. But I highly doubt I am.
Is she just trying to churn through speakers until she’s made the speaker?
Either way, I wish she’d fuck off for good. Her inane, toxic ranting is incredibly annoying.

Yes Sunak failed dismally as a leader. Though there are other factors at play as well. He inherited a poisoned chalice, due to the several factors, some of which were:
He did, however, manage to expedite his own political demise with his clueless detachment from what regular citizens are dealing with and the aftermath of Brexit (which his party was mostly responsible for).
