That’s a lot of dudes and I’m just sick of dudes. Also who keeps voting for Jim Jordan? Get your shit together Ohio. Even my BFF’s conservative dad hates that dude.
Gosh am I supposed to feel bad?
‘We will never forget’: Texas rattlesnake handler dies from bite at South Texas festival

May the fourth be with you!
I noticed on twitter that the right wing talking points were using “insurrection” and “violence” in mentioning anything about any peaceful protest for RvW and the leaking of the ruling. I know I’m in tinfoil hat territory here but I think it was leaked to try to goad the left into their own Jan 6ing of the Supreme Court. I just hope everyone keeps a cool head and stays peaceful because the right is looking for any excuse to both sides the term insurrection.
They’re calling the leak itself an insurrection, saying it was worse than Jan 6. And they demand a full investigation. The actual violent coup attempt where both participants and LE died? Not so much.
I also read a plausible explanation that conservatives leaked it to “lock down” the votes. Once all the outrage is over, the justices who might have changed will say “fuck it, I’m cool with this.”
You’ve got a point though, because when all is said and done, you don’t see liberals or women conducting terrorist bombings or mass shootings. That’s strictly a white male conservative endeavor.
Oh and May the 4th be with us all!
Two DOTs? Merciful heavens! I must retire to my fainting couch.
It makes me nervous, like I have to decide if I want to live with mom or dad.
Right? I have to divide my time between threads. Okay, you’ve got me for half an hour, then I’ve got to head over to dad’s so he won’t get his feelings hurt. AAAGGGGHHHHH
FWIW it’s impossible to hurt my feelings (not that I am mom or dad or anything)…and I wouldn’t expect anyone to worry too much about my random toss up. I was merely trying to help out.
I know, lol. It was just a feeble attempt at humor. Notice I went with mom. She lets us have junk food.
Not my mom.
I guess the snake handler didn’t believe in antivenin? I mean, that’s just … strange. Eh, fuck around and find out.
Look, do what you like, Eugene, but yeah, to quote Camper Van Beethoven: “Bring to me the antivenom.”
Apparently “what he loved doing” was dying from a snake bite?
It’s like I always say – H died doing what he loved…living.
Two DOTs?!??
Phew, talk about violating norms! Democrats would be fainting at the idea of two DOTs!
Based on who Trump typically endorses that’s a lot of handsy dudes with female/penile issues.
in memoriam et gratiam
its remembrance day here today
feels more important than usual this year
For what it’s worth, I was listening to NPR in the car the other day and a lot of those Ohio races were ones where EVERY republican candidate was endorsed by Trump.
