Let’s talk about why you need to stop acting like domestic abusers w/ your daily & usually bigoted vitriol towards Democrats who are in the MINORITY of the House of Representatives & Senate, don’t control SCOTUS, & aren’t in the executive office. This is a long thread.

Posobiec is hosting virtual “poll challenger” training tonight for the NJ GOP. You know him from pizzagate & from fake protests at the 2016 inauguration w/ signs encouraging people to sexually assault Melania Trump. He did this for the RNC last cycle. There’s also questions about his residency btw.

Not seeing it as much here but that mayoral candidate seemingly lying about how well he knew the violently homophobic Ugandan politician he took a pic with because of his dad’s history with her seems like a big problem.

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

Holy crap.

For non-Jews, please understand that Yom Kippur is THE most important & solemn holy day of the year for us.

It's a Big Fucking Deal, and there's no way that the Post didn't know about it.

The Post laid off seemingly the remaining of their liberal-leaning staff members on Opinion last Thursday, when some of them were observing Yom Kippur.

I hope so. Framed them pretty specifically though. First for Sherrill, second for Jack, third is to both.

Reminder that the last NJ Gubernatorial debate is tonight at 7. If we have to hear more about the Navy stuff we shouldn’t even know about I hope they ask Jack about his brother & murdered sister-in-law, but I doubt that one’s coming up.

Seems like it’s the usual bait framing of that to say stuff most of us already know or to cause other people to fight since Republicans are in shambles at the moment. People should just watch Jaime’s podcast ep w/ Ken from last wk & focus on ongoing elections & ongoing issues thanks to Republicans.

Didn’t read the article but the snippets on the DNC 2024 autopsy make sense. Switching midway through handcuffing the time isn’t a reflection of the candidate, the late spending we already knew was an issue from past reporting on staffers, & not focusing on some issues goes back to the consultants.🤷‍♂️

I just shout into the void & hope that eventually someone will just adopt me like a golden retriever or something. 🤷‍♂️😂 Convo on an app for it gets redundant quickly & I can’t actually carry convo when I’m not interested enough or just depressed. Plus I’m way quieter & way more anxious in real life. 😂

Gallego & Kelly bodybagging Mike Johnson over protecting pedophiles & refusing to negotiate to give people health care better be a leading story everywhere today. 🤷‍♂️

So does she have to drop out or does that only apply to Jay Jones? I ask because beyond this commentary, her Lt Gov running mate’s associated tumblr account with the nazi & chattel slavery fetish content interactions is also still largely getting a pass.

This 1 inc Kamala Harris’s terrific policy on expanding Medicare to cover in-home healthcare, campaign stops, Biden-Harris action on making drinking water safer, porn site campaigns against Project 2025, Trump getting wrecked by Janet Mills before the time that went viral earlier this year, & more.

Things happening about this time last yr re the Harris campaign (10/8/24):

On The View, VP Harris broke down a new policy proposal of how she’d expand Medicare to cover in-home health for seniors. x.com/theview/stat...

This received about 35 seconds of MSM coverage over the next few weeks.

The call was supposed to be about focusing on winning a district’s electoral votes. Gov Mills had a great reply, saying “He better get used to recognizing women. He’s about to get beat by one.” x.com/janetmillsfo...

She’s been fighting him since & is expected to announce a run for Senate next week.

In other words, yes the electoral college sucks & shouldn’t exist, but everyone has to vote anyway. It’s the hand we had & still have.

Pierce @pierceah66.bsky.social · 3h

It was framed as Tim Walz calling for the electoral college being abolished but at a Sacramento fundraiser, he said it needs to go & simply acknowledged the reality that only going by national popular vote isn’t the world we actually live in. x.com/aaronpellish...

It is still accessible. handsoffmyporn.com/facts/ They also have a testimonial page featuring actors, directors, and other people you’ve definitely never heard of anywhere before this post.
