I simply don't want to make the moral sacrifices required to hold public office in the American empire. I make enough of those in my current job already.
And tbh, I wouldn't trust myself with that kind of power. I grew up in a deeply, DEEPLY conservative and racist environment.

This is on top of the absolute triumph for the incumbent Dem mayor over JD Vance's brother: bsky.app/profile/tani...
5️⃣ JD Vance's half-brother, Cory Bowman, was crushed in his challenge Cincinnati's Democratic mayor Aftab Pureval.
His loss was unsurprising in this blue-leaning city.
But he lost 78% to 22%: That's the biggest margin in a mayoral race in Cincy since it started electing mayors directly in 2001.

So I'm just wondering if all the people complaining about her getting her hair and nails done to appear IN LITERAL CONGRESS would be complaining about her appearance if she showed up like Fetterman.
I'm guessing yes.

Wish this was hyperbole, or a one off - but it’s part of a broader legislative trend I’ve been tracking since the end of Roe

immigrated and wound up working for the tobacco company in NC. In a previous life we would laugh at that Tom Petty lyric
Honey don't walk out I'm too drunk to follow
but turns out that is a literal unironic description of the butt rock audiences.. it was a shock

I'm confident that Epstein practiced all the tricks in "How to Win Friends and Influence People." Just a lot of head nodding, a lot of repeating the person's own words back to them, etc., until they leave the conversation believing he was a genius who understood them....
