Additionally, you can't say that without hearing it in Bart Simpson's voice.

OMG I found the. perfect. mugshot for that

DeSantis is selling tshirts that say "make America Florida" which, in addition to being a shot directly at Trump, is a *terrible* slogan because you are going to associate Florida Guy stories directly with Ron DeSantis and wind up with stuff like this.

Any documentary that doesn't go into the polycule thing they had going on is a failure in my book.

" Well, it depends on the man. I had a man around. He used to wake me up every morning by flicking lit cigarettes at my head. He'd say, "Hey, asshole, get up and make me breakfast." You know, Mrs. Buckman, you need a license to buy a dog, or drive a car. Hell, you need a license to catch a fish! But they'll let any butt-reaming asshole be a father."

>Still think the zuck went rogue and did it on his own?

Abso-fucking-loutely. Remember after Trump got elected he started acting like he was going to run for President *really* hard, visiting national parks and political organizations really publicly and trying to drum up a lot of positive attention for him? And remember when all of that stopped when Cambridge Analytica broke? My guess was that he was intending to use Facebook that way in 2020 to try to get elected and when the story broke he had to pretend to do something else and eventually just lost interest.

They can but supposedly according to the GOP it's a cluster fuck trying to get ready for the runoff election and can't run early voting, because the GOP passed a law in 2021 that cuts the runoff lead time from 9 weeks down to 4.

Which creates precisely this kind of chaos and undermines the entire election to people only tangentially paying attention.

FTA:
"The time-crunch election workers now face can be traced back to the controversial 2021 election law passed by the Republican-controlled Georgia legislature, which cut the time allowed for a runoff from nine weeks to four."

​

I'd say "if it wasn't the consequences to our actions" but let's face it, this is precisely the kind of cluster that the GOP want.

Let's go to one of the fathers of modern conservatism, Paul Weyrich, co-founder of the Heritage Foundation:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GBAsFwPglw

"As a matter of fact our leverage in the elections goes up as the voting populace goes down"

Seems pretty straight forward. That was 42 years ago and nothing has changed since.

The GOP: "We don't want you to vote, but if you have to, vote for us!"

It's not but nobody will probably be punished for it.

Why do you think they're kind of pro-authoritarian charismatic dictator in the last few years?

Isn't that like... what all politics are? Doing things so you get re-elected?

I mean, I know the GOP has convinced half the country that good politics is to beat you with a baseball bat, take the money from your wallet and give it to some billionaire, but this argument of "you're just buying votes by doing things that people need" has always confused the fuck out of me as missing the entire point.

As I understand it the foam is more or less okay unless you use an ozone cleaner or UV or something gets into the foam to break it down.

The replacement Philips devices are not as good I've heard.
