That’s everyday sun exposure with no sunscreen. He supposedly lives on a ranch

OTOH, it’d be fricking hilarious to start reporting showings and readings of Cinderella, Snow White, Beauty and the Beast and Frozen (among others)— all of which far, far more prominently feature a hetero relationship. 

I hate to do the “this is a double standard” post but....good god y’all would not be nearly this chipper about this if say John Mayer went on a podcast and rated Perry vs. TSwift on their skills....

This^. And frankly most of the right wing doesn’t have the discipline to stick to 15 weeks in their messaging or policy— see Florida where the lege passed a 6-week ban on top of their existing 15-week ban despite it potentially ending Desantis’s hopes of ever winning the Presidency.

I mean....it’s the John Roberts’…

No, no it’s not. That map in no way overcomes a veto. 

That the right didn’t see this coming years ago is fucking hilarious.

Trump has no fixed fucking values or ideology other than pathological narcissism. Everything else- relationships, morality, loyalty— all that other shit that normally forms the core of a person— all of that is transactional and at best a passing…

This.  And to be honest-- even in places where it’s done at it wasn’t a total gutting for infrastructure, the results can be real weird-- in a way that say factory floor to lofts aren’t (right before the pandemic I looked at a an apartment in an redeveloped bank build and....it was a bit odd in terms of layout and…

This^. It’s also an example of something that was never going to go over well but would have landed better if she’d added “and that’s why I’ll be returning my own bonus” as an example.

It’d still hit poorly (and be an example of the difference between voluntary and involuntary action, etc) but it’d soften the blow at…

This^. Now he really feels like the 2023 version of Scott Walker-- terrifying until you realize he doesn’t play the same way outside of his home state. 

In what way is this ahistorical non-sense true- the two most recent Senatorial examples I can think of (John McCain and Ted Kennedy) famously returned to the Senate to cast votes as they were literally dying (to save and to pass the ACA respectively), and neither of them were preventing their respective parties from…

Also....at the school in question staff already had ability to carry guns and some chose to do so....it didn’t stop 6 people from being killed...

Literally the only silver lining to this dystopian bullshit is that signing a broadly unpopular 6-week ban will essentially kill Desantis as a Presidential contender in the general election.

I mean...you joke but-- I think that was actually a part of the confederate memorial thing-- it’s why half of them broke when getting taken down they weren’t sculptures, they were churned out by makeshift factories and cast.

Seriously, and I get that she was aping another show pony in McCain, but at least he had the excuse that he was basically dragging himself to the floor as he was dying and wanted a final moment. 

In retrospect, the Nader thing is a pretty huge red flag. 

What vetting could have been done here— other than her obviously being a bit of a flake (she her party migration even prior to this) she’s gone way, way to the right of how she voted as a State Legislator and pretty far to the right of how she voted as a Congresswoman.

No, Manchin is the last blue dog Dem Senator; Sinema is a Dem-leaning flake.

There’s a difference-- if they were Republicans Kentaji Brown Jackson isn’t confirmed to lift up just one of them. 

Eh....yes for Manchin; not so much for Sinema-- look at Kelly-- Arizonans can do better than Kyrsten. 

Joe Manchin is a massively different case— we can do better than Sinema in Arizona, Manchin is probably the last Dem who will be elected statewide in West Virginia in the forseeable future.

For value over replacement-- Sinema may be the worst Senator in America (potentially Feinstein) while Manchin is one of the…

That’s not fair-- attention no matter what is a principle of a sort.
