It’s so hilarious to me that people are trying to play the electability game with someone who is the sitting governor of her state

People who don’t like her because of her support of Israel have a strong and consistent moral stance but trying to cite her electability just makes you look real dumb.

You know she’s literally the governor right now right

I think “has in the recent past won a statewide election” is a pretty good case for electability barring any major falloff’s (and unfortunately in our political system “is literally 77 years old” is not a falloff)

Amazing that nazi tat still can’t top Tulsi for “worst Bernie endorsement”

Popheads and r/kpop are the only Reddits I actually browse somewhat regularly I think this is the best answer. General music ones are too broad and artist specific ones get too bogged down with fandom

“Can’t admit I was wrong online” is a negative trait you should try to fix or it might have you doing stupid shit like getting in arguments defending guys with nazi tats

The one who has won a statewide election in the state of Maine what a dumb question

Did you not comprehend “Currently Serving Governor”

Wow it’s almost like I quoted you directly for the purposes of irony because my definition of “not perfect” is “old” and your definition of “not perfect” is “has had a Nazi tattoo for decades”

Do I wish the best candidate were not 77? Yes, I hate how many old people who should not be in positions of authority our country puts in positions of authority. But since the other best option has to make a Nazi tattoo removal appointment she’s gonna have to do.

You know this is the primary and that the person he’s currently running against is the well-liked current Democratic governor who doesn’t have any Nazi tattoos

I think the rule on Nazi tattoos is that at a bare minimum they can define you for as long as they’re still on your body

Probably at least a bit longer

Mills was reported to have said “look I got real drunk in Johannesburg in the 1980s and woke up with it one morning. I never expected it to come back and bite me!”

Inside sources have confirmed to me that Janet Mills is now scheduling an appointment to have the big Rhodesian Flag tattoo on her upper leg removed

I bet a lot of right wingers think one or most of this administration is stupid but the million dollar question is “is it stupid enough to override the ‘gotta vote R for lower taxes’ impulse all of them have?”

speaking as a metalhead: the guy who hasn't removed his nazi tattoo is not a guy you want to be around. I don't care what he says about how he got it. if he didn't get it covered or lasered, you cannot trust him.

I was a libertarian for like 3 days in 2007 after my HS had a thing where supporters of all the candidates got to explain their choices and Ron Paul was a very easy sell to a 16 year old

Then I got online and saw all the racist shit and that was that, never been right of an average Dem again

i actually don’t think the “average” american millennial man had a nazi phase. it’s not some boys will be boys shit. this makes me side eye you and your friend group, sounds like a personal problem

The average American millennial man has been a neocon, a pacifist, a liberal, a libertarian, a communist, a nazi, and I believe now most of us are back around to liberal again. This isn't a defense of platner it's just weird how normal this shit is for guys that age.

Once again proving the theory that the most important qualifier for a member of the Trump administration is a complete lack of understanding about consent

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

Of course our moron electorate picked Trump we’re the country that watched kids get shot at school for over a decade and responded by not doing shit, creating an entire genre of guy who see violence as a game with no consequences where mass trauma is a thing you can get a high score in

Sliwa is genuinely much more representative of NYC and I hope all the polling is wrong and he out-does Cuomo on Election Day because it would be the funniest possible ending to this whole thing

when I say I miss blockbuster I mean I miss working at a place that averaged like 2 customers an hour and gave me unlimited access to a big room full of DVDs and video games

Yeah, I think I see the problem here - it's not that the video store was good, it's that you miss being a teenager

CAH is so funny to me they try desperately to appear super woke because they accidentally made the Be a Bigot with Your Friends for Points game and it sold like gangbusters because Americans love to be bigoted with their friends for points

And then the company was run super racistly too

I just looked at the years ending in 3 (until the end I did 22 because the 23 one was an all-timer list) and it’s funny that between the 80s, 90s, 2000s and 2010s there’s a bunch of artist turnover each time but the 2022 list is like 80% people who had been on one of the others

I can’t be objective since I saw her live on her Crash tour and it was one of my favorite shows I’ve ever been to but it rules and is just as good as brat or HIFN in a different way.
