He is full of shit, for sure. But let’s say we take his claim at face value, that level of stupidity has no business in political power. So, lose-lose.
That is on par with most of political scandals and the defenses given, they are either clearly in on the fuckery, or so monumentally stupid that they were unaware of it happening around them or that it was illegal/immoral. There is no answer that gets them off the hook and provides confidence in their abilities.
Hey look, a foreigner actively engaging in voter fraud!
Exactly. 20 years of samey power in a porkier, blander, body. What’s not to love? I just can’t imagine a 22b would appreciate the glance into the future.
Just my snarky, subjective take.
Throw the WRX up there too
Stochastic terrorism. That’s what he and Vance are knowingly exercising. That seems like something that should be dealt with, regardless of the political implications. People have died because of Trumps liberal and deliberate use of this form of communication to his batshit legion.
But then again, nothing makes sense any more. The reality that this race is as close as it is sums it all up, I suppose. To quote NOFX, The idiots are taking over.
Would they really have the time to fact-check the gish-gallop Vance will ejaculate on them? That’s just not even feasible to get through the more egregious lies. He already said he just makes shit up. This will be the largest public face-time he will ever have (hopefully) and it all but guarantees he will shamelessly dial the horseshit up, if not just for sound bites.
And yeah, I decided to use that word.
He sure seems to be ignorant of a lot of critically fucking important things within his own party/cabinet. I should want someone with slightly more curiosity and awareness if I seriously expect them to handle being the president of the goddamned united states.
He’ll be lucky to be able to walk by then.
I didn’t know Slagathor was still making noise. The bigger question is, why are we listening?
I had totally forgotten about Veat. But you also reminded me about the Morningstar riblets. If those were around in the late eighties, early ninties, that would be my answer. It would have made me rethink the whole meat industry.
Of course the barbarisim and inefficiencies of meat/dairy production as a whole should be enough, but I wasn’t exactly the deepest thinker when I was younger.
That’s a good question but hard to nail down. In terms of nutrition, I was in decent shape as an omnivore in my late teens, early twenties, but nutrition was miles away from any thoughts I had on my diet. And even then, back in the late 90s/turn of the millinea, most substitutes and otherwise interesting plant-based foods didn’t exist, had limited availability or were pretty rough (cheeses, burgers etc…). Best we had was Morningstar corn dogs, boca and tofutti slices.
I think Soy Curls were hitting the market up in Portland around that time (2k-ish), and that would have been mega when I was younger. But I was in Sac/San Diego at that time and distribution wasnt as widespread, or at least I hadn’t seen them. Though, now that I think of it, you could get big tvp chunks in 16oz bags at Trader Joe’s in that timeframe, so I guess that’s my primary answer.
That said, I suppose I would have loved to discover Sunflower Cafe in Fair Oaks (Sacramento CA area) earlier on before going vegan. The super nut-burgers are amazing and that might have driven me to joining the dark side a lot sooner.
Brave Sir Donald ran away. Bravely ran away away!
The amount of destruction logging causes here in Oregon is sickening. Just came back from the coast and where hundreds of acres of beautiful trees stood is now a desolate scar.
I get that we have an addiction to wood products, but there has to be a better way. All you see are patches of land that look like Calvin’s head when Hobbes cuts his hair, and monoculture “reforestation” efforts that ignore the amount of nutrition and fungal/floral/animal diversity that have been removed/destroyed. It just sucks. It reminds me of Costa Rica. I just hope we can choose, like much of Costa Rica, to try and embrace conservation and make an industry around that instead.
He sure has been a big disappointment. I admired and even respected him and what he was driving, but once his PR team decided to not exist any longer, I guess, his behavior was instantly and incredibly immature and off-putting.
I want to appreciate everything he has had his booger-hooks in for what they are (apart from Twitter), but I just can’t imagine supporting them until he simply isn’t in the picture at all.
As horrific as this is, it was made worse by the title also being interpreted as him raping his daughters remains. Do editors even exist anymore?
So does every republican get their balls returned to them upon retirement? It’s like they sign an NDA to be associated with the party.

Maybe he’s full of it. Maybe it’s Maybelline.
She just wants him to remember to put the eyeliner back where he found it or buy his own.
There is a time and a place for n-parties in this crappy political environment we are subject to, but this election is simply not it. Voting green or indie in this election dramatically increases the chances of there being only a single viable party for all future “elections” from here on out.
It’s easy to get jaded, but it’s best to push Republicans out of the picture and foster a more progressive green party in future elections.
Nothing sustainably good happens quickly in politics, but conversely, our actions in this election can have abrupt, and irreversible consequences.
I’m not telling to to sit this one out or whatever - you do you, but I do ask you to think of what party you are actively trying to cannibalize and then consider the fallout that may be blowing our way.
Oh, and for conversations sake, I don’t care about this shame game they are playing right now. This is trivial nit-picking and neither newsworthy nor thread-worthy. Both sides, sure, whatever. There are greater topics like democracy, human rights, voter rights, labor rights etc that are on the table and this "both sides’ nonsense doesn’t not hold up.
You know, I am starting to think this feller doesn’t like to follow convention.
