Don’t listen to those weak-kneed pencil-pushers, Mark! Stay in the race. You’re helping deliver the Governor’s mansion to Josh Stein and hopefully NC’s electoral votes to Harris-Walz!

My money's on the classic “dead girl or live boy.”

As odious and obnoxious as Cruz is, let’s face it: he’s running for state-wide office in Texas. I don’t want him to, but he’s pretty likely to win.

LaCivita is probably looking at some internal polling for DJT that looks pretty terrible. He’s probably figuring that if he bails out now, he can avoid having a loss on his resume, and also gain a win.

“bOtH sIdEs!” - The leader of a religion that has a well-documented, 1000-year history of sexual abuse, torture, turning a blind eye to genocide, and actually committing genocide.

Is it the additional data you give them to enter the giveaway?

Basically. You’re telling TP-Link that you’re a business that’s interested in selling their products. In return, their Sales team now has your information and can pester you tell you all about the latest TP-Link products.

Additionally, they’re putting their products directly in the hands of customers who could become even bigger customers. If you, as a company, decide you like the product, then you’re probably going to buy more of said product.

Finally, TP-Link is being selective about who gets the freebie—they’re not just handing them out willy-nilly. From the fine print:

Offer valid only for SolutionX partners. One Insight S445 (2.8mm) camera per qualified SolutionX partner. Approval is required, and TP-Link reserves the right to verify applications

So there’s probably some sort of “legitimacy threshold” you have to clear in order to get the goodies.

Everyone on the left who complains about the lack of choice in elections should take note of which party these three politicians are from.

I assure you, Republicans are happy to let first-past-the-post and two-party rule continue until they’re finally able to seize all the levers of power. The only feasible way to give third parties any power whatsoever is to take your medicine and vote for Democrats.

More conspiracy theory bullshit about Hunter Biden.

Why does this motherfucker keep getting to interrupt?!!

“Spheres of Tara”

Leave Tara alone! What did she do?

Is he saying immigrants did Jan 6?

Now he’s about to take the bait on the former Reupbs who are voting for Harris.

Fuckin dummy took the bait on the rally size thing.

The moderators need to stop Trump from talking out of turn. So much for the mute button.

MF is on tranquilizers. And he’s still an asshole.

When he’s not talking, his eyes look like he’s falling asleep.

This is Portland AF

Why do so many drivers get pissy when cyclists do an Idaho stop? Is it just the lizard-brained “I have to stop so you should too” mentality?

I live in a state where it’s legal, and I have only ever done it when it’s completely safe and logical to do, and yet I’ve had two incidents where drivers (one in a car and one on a motorcycle) screamed at me and literally tried to run me off the road with their vehicles.

I’ve also had a couple incidents where I’ve been fully stopped at a light where I could have done an Idaho stop, and drivers have said something along the lines of “Thanks for stopping. You’re one of the few cyclists who actually stop,” which draws a fake smile and an eye-roll from me.

Edit: Downvoted for sharing my experience and following the law. Cool cool cool.

Europeans seem to be happier, healthier, and to have a generally better standard of living than Americans. Small towns in Europe have much more personality than US suburbs, which largely consist of strip mall after strip mall. Food in Europe is focused on quality, whereas in the US the focus is on quantity.

I didn’t realize he was that old. In my mind, he was one of those figures that was stuck in time, perpetually middle-aged.

It’s sad that he’s gone, but he’s lucky to have lived such a long life.

It’s so sad that this could easily be a real tweet. Only the consistency of the punctuation errors tips me off that it isn’t.

This is not the first time Watters has talked about straw use on air. His implication is that straws are somehow phallic and a man using one is gay. Watters’ strange obsession tells us more about his own phallus than anything else.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.

How many Stanley Nickels to a Trump Buck?

Judge pls tell me magic words

I wanted to list Florida, but that state has disappointed me too many times in the past.

It’s a pretty good list, honestly. Having abortion rights on the ballot could help Harris in Arizona, Nevada, and Nebraska’s 1st District. It might also be enough to save Jon Tester’s hide in Montana.

The economy of selling worthless things to cult members.

Tattoo ink from Amazon? Gross. Never buy anything from Amazon that goes on or in your body.

You spent your life peddling party drugs to kids and surfing, and now you want to play with the big boys. Bad news: everything you say is absolutely insane. Your own wife wants to leave you over this.

He really is IRL Connor Roy.

Maureen Dowd of the failing New York Times, wrote incorrectly that I was making the calls. WRONG!!! I don’t have to make calls to go on TV, or anything else — They call me!

Got it. So he absolutely, 100% without a doubt called them first.

A bear in Central Park

Wow, you’re being incredibly insensitive to the executives who stand to make millions off this merger and the resulting price hikes it will bring.

The question is can you get in and out before the dump?

Is your last name Trump? If not, you most certainly can’t get out before the dump. I guarantee it.

I’m guessing Secretary of State. He obviously has a ton of future potential, and any lower position undermines that. What’s your guess?

Is he OK?

Mentally? No.

Physically? Also no.

“These ratings are fake ratings. The best people are telling me this. And I know it’s true because I’m very intelligent—my uncle, MIT guy, very smart, good genes. This is the Marxist, fascist media trying to take Trump down, just like they did to the late, great Hannibal Lector.

Just yesterday, a TV executive—big, tough guy, never cried before in his life—came up to me and said, with tears running down his face, he said, ‘sir, I’ve never seen ratings as fake as these.’”

— Donald Trump, probably

Welcome… to the real world.

</morpheus>

I agree. And I guarantee that the Republicans will pull some false equivalency bullshit in response: “oh, so January 6 was sooo bad, but it’s fine when the Dems do it?”

Forget the Swifties. Don’t mess with Taylor herself. Donald has stepped in it, and now Taylor is all but required to correct the record.
