Wait.
That’s slightly different that other people have said is what he meant.
Because above, someone said that he meant correcting against the national average, but if the population makeup is different in Louisiana, then comparing to the national average doesn’t make sense, and if he meant the distinction you make,…

Ah.
Here’s how I believe moral choices work.
Something, that as a White person, it has taken me far too long to understand or accept, but when a moral choice is presented, say, to say I support trans rights, or to say I’m for BLM, and I do not do anything?
I am, unfortunately, supporting the opposite side, because NO…

All positions equals no position.
Several commenters have made this clear much more elegantly than I have, but to me, this sums it up, that by making no choice, by not making a stand, they ARE in fact, making a stand.
The cowardly back stabbing misogynistic racist one.
Below, Jhelter Skelter nails it re: bodily…

He’s the worst.

Manchin’s also the worst.
Hell, the whole lot of them, who ever turns to any other issue other than gun violence and police brutality and then instead spends their time restricting the rights of women and minority’s.
The worst.

I’m worried. Frightened.
Wait.
More frightened, than usual.
I’m not at all well educated on the subject, but I’ve read a few things highlighting what the rise of Fascism looks like, and this’s it.
I mean, yeah, the Fascists are totally using their racist and misogynistic platform to recruit into their platform, and it’s…

Hooray!
Came here for this joke, and I wasn’t disappointed!
Thank you!

FROYO, in case anyone is interested, when I worked at a FROYO place with a cheerful little penguin mascot, comes in half gallon jugs, like milk.
The cardboard ones.
In the morning, magical FROYO juice that also looks just like milk (maybe a little thicker, creamier, like heavy cream), only in a variety of different…

And people like you are so busy claiming the ‘left’ is doing this or that, and even in short screed, your main point of what the left is doing that is so bad is what, that people on the left are working hard to identify and respect each other, no matter those differences?
-
And yes, there can be no progress of any kind…

Ah, it was only the last little bit, really, in which I was worried someone might think I was actually looking forward to the coming water apocalypse.
When, I’m SO not.
I mean, that’s what they make Coca-Cola out of.

This.
Times however many.
Woe.
There is hope, however, I think.
There was an article in WAPO about how teaching conflict resolution, anger management, ethics, and how to recognize disinformation, doing those things?
Would automatically lower the amount of gun violence.
So, that means more money for education.
Divert from…

I know! Right?
It’s heart breaking.
But, part of that comes from how anything from a liberal is automatically viewed with deep suspicion, because the alt-right has done such a good job infiltrating Fox News, Breitbart, Infowars, OAN, etc.
Many would argue those places are now nothing but alt-right Chinese and Russian…

Right, right, that’s why the GQP are desperately passing White Fragility laws all across the nation right now, restricting the right to vote, banning books, attempting to protect Cis life, etc.
So: please.
While on paper, in theory, neither party represents any particular anything, moving as the whims of power move in…

Except only one party favors racism, bigotry, claims CRT exists where it doesn’t, claims trans people do things that they don’t, and then explains that gay people ‘recruit’ more people into their ranks, oh, and also believes that the entire Democratic power side is made up of Satanic worshippers who use children’s…

2008 Volkswagen EOS, the little hardtop convertible that looks like a jellybean if you’re being generous or a suppository if you’re not.
-
Both doors, the top of the door cards, have what I’m told is a very common Volkswagen problem: the black covering material has peeled away from the foam underneath, starting at the…

Right?
What IS up with those tires?
Everything else?
I mean, even the paint job?
Very pale, understated, even, dare I say, tasteful?
And then?
Those tires?
What the heck?
It’s almost like they got to the tires and then chickened out, worried that the build would be considered, I dunno what?
Weak?
I don’t know anything about…

I’m not sure where you’re going with this?
Do you mean that the current GQP is not a violent, racist, party based on Christian values?
Or rather, what they’re calling ‘Christian’ values?
That they don’t understand the constitution, the very thing they claim to support?
For example, the first amendment?
The SEPARATION OF…

THIS!
NFTs, the blockchain, all of the various crypto currencies, they’re all scams in search of suckers, a problem in search of solutions, creating yet MORE waste on top of a system already over burdened, all to support the WORST of the various systems of governance and goods exchange.

No, they’re just tired of repeating all of the ways that NFTs are horrible pyramid scheme scams for idiots.

Star Wars Squadrons was the first and only multi-player online game I’ve ever played, and it was a BLAST!
I wanted to play it so much that I bought windows for my imac and created a separate windows partition just for the game.

So. Much. Fun.
But then?
The developers stopped doing any support, as they had to move on.
And…

re: incivility.
You are incorrect.
Sometimes?
One has to tell the truth, and face the consequences for their actions.
Susan Collins, however friendly your relationship, has betrayed you and all women, all people, everywhere, and has consistently allowed herself, a servant of the people, elected for the people, and in…
