@cnn.com this is why I don’t watch your bullshit news anymore. You are no longer a credible, impartial source of news. How about interviewing any of the legions of people who marched? Ask them what their values are. My values are healthcare. And science. NIH/CDC, USAID, education. Get bent.

CNN: Do you really believe that the 7 million attendees who participated this weekend hate the United States of America?

REP. LISA McCLAIN: Well, look at what they're standing for. They're standing for communism. They're standing for antisemitism.

“Hi, my name is Andy Windsor. I moved in next door. As required by Oklahoma law, I’m required to inform you that I am a convicted sex offender, I’m on the registered sex offender’s list.”

“No problem Andy, so am I. And so is the guy on the other side of you. Hey, where you from? You got an accent.”

I’ve heard from people who insist he continued to use that insult at campaign stops, but the media stopped reporting on it. Which would explain why he disappeared in the home stretch. They failed to cover him.

When he was a legislator and lt gov, he was in favor of a lot of legislation that hurt marginalized people. I want to see evidence that he’s grown as a person and will fight to protect those same people. And a guarantee he won’t switch parties. In writing.

I’m not saying all of them are Nazis. But I will say all Nazis probably voted for Trump.

One second now. WATER ice? Or WOODER ice?

I’ll have to watch this simply as a 4 year veteran of working at the Lincroft Acme.

I’m very left, and my college entertainment center involved milk crates.

There are so many exurban Atlanta towns in DEEP red counties that had incredible turnout. GA is not a red state it’s a voter suppression state.

My wife and I did Cartersville GA on the previous one (the day the MN legislator was assassinated). Bikers for Trump watched us the entire time, lots of middle fingers. But lots of honks as well. Even a honk and thumbs up from a female Bartow county PD officer. It felt good to go there.

My in-laws protested in Rheinlander WI. Mostly red, Sean Duffy represented that district. They’ve had good crowds at their rallies, lots of pissed off farmers and retirees afraid of losing social security and Medicare.

Neither Leavitt nor Cheung are from New Jersey, so this is absolutely cultural appropriation.

I bet if someone started a rumor that the remains are one of Killary’s Whitewater victims, the Governor would cut a check immediately.

Honestly it would be easier to just make millionaires and billionaires pay their share in taxes and make all associates degrees and pre-K free for everybody. And THEN offer the lottery-funded hope for the balance of the 4-year degree.

The Hope scholarship is a game changer. My family and friends outside of GA are shocked that we have it.

A (German) cousin of mine owned one of those (called Die Ente in Germany….The Duck). Weirdest ride I’ve ever been in. But, in retrospect, so damn cool.

Hard to believe that company makes a very damn good Rally race car.

The first one who took a swing at someone, and they all would’ve gone down in a bloody heap. They might not have been alive to be taken to jail. Such incredible discipline. I lack the words to voice my admiration for kids like that, and the Little Rock 9, and all the others.

To be technical, I think he’s thinking about teenage boys jerking off into Petri dishes, and then handing it over so that someone can count the sperm.

I wish just one reporter would point out to her why it’s actually illegal.

If JD Vance ended up in my house, with my wife and daughter…..remember the end of Ghost, where the dark spirits appeared and dragged the bad guy to hell? That’s what would happen to Vance.

I feel like a lot more people needed to watch Mr. Robot.

But then again everybody my age saw Terminator and Runaway yet we still crave AI robots and those stupid robot dog videos.

We warned ourselves decades ago and then ignored our own warnings. We don’t deserve nice things.

I would’ve gone with “sorry I couldn’t hear you over your mom’s moaning” but I make no claim to being a bigger person.

That’s nothing. Look at Dan Crenshaw’s district, TX-2. There are parts that distrust that have maybe the with of a street.
