I live in Montgomery County, PA (neighboring Philadelphia city/county) and have nearly my whole 43 years. I registered to vote at 18 and while I don’t recall exactly that process, I’ve voted for each presidential election since then and almost all local elections. I’ve moved more than a dozen times and each and every…

It is not, for the most part. But there are very rural areas in the north of the state, along our border with Tennessee, which are horse country. And he thinks it makes him look like a cowboy, which is a classic GOP urge.
Or people like my wife, whose parents falsified her Soviet birth certificate to say that she was born in Kiev and not Vilnius because the Soviet residency permit system gave a higher priority on large cities’ housing waitlists to couples with children born in that city instead of elsewhere.
The pause is amazing. And I love his eventual response is well Trump used a Bible...
I also wish that at least one significant press outlet would give their reporter free rein to stand up and respond to her bullshit in the called-for manner, while also leaving the room with a shot at their fellow reporters, reminding them of how they look like whipped dogs as they sit there and just take Suckabee’s…
Agreed. My favorite WWII veteran will always be Bob Feller, pitcher for the Cleveland Indians. On December 9, 1941, in the prime of his HOF career, he called up the Indians and told them not to expect him for 1942 spring training because he just volunteered for the Navy. He served on USS Alabama as a gunner’s mate.
We’re a mixed bag, politically. It just so happens that a lot of that mix are people who vote God, Guns, and (anti)Gays. I’d say please don’t paint us all with the same brush, but if things go badly when the polls close tonight I’m not going to try to defend my backwards neighbors in the media any more. If Moore wins,…
Can someone explain why “our” rich people are not doing this? Except for Bezos (who is hardly a leftist, but he’s not a right-wing lunatic at least) buying the Washington Post (where, along with the target-rich environment of the Trumpster administration, it has had a surge in importance and quality), why is it the…
Now I kind of want to manipulate him into a rideoff with Hillary. I have no idea what Clinton’s attempt would look like, but Trump is supposedly a germaphobe who hates animals. I can’t imagine him doing well even standing next to a large, unfamiliar one like a horse.
When George Wallace ran for Governor the first time he ran as an inclusive progressive and lost to a full blown racist. He reported to have said “I will never be out ni**ered again!”. This appears to be the motto of todays GOP. Lee Atwater expressed it perfectly in his comments before he died. (if you have not seen it…
I’m sure he’ll never understand the implications of the fact that he felt he couldn’t possibly win by talking up tax cuts for the wealthy, and instead had to make a bald appeal to racism. It’s like he just admitted the entire rotten core of Republican electoral politics for the last 50 years and doesn’t even realize…
Sure, but it’s a reminder that all of the symbols of rugged male authenticity in American conservative politics — see also “Sheriff” Clarke’s stupid fucking hat and flair, or grifter Zinke’s upside-down fly rig — are bullshit.
The ACA is, at its core, a massive give-away to health insurance companies, in that the ACA sets the boundaries of the healthcare conversation such that anyone who wants care must situate themselves within those boundaries, and those boundaries are determined by private companies.
Until the subdural hematoma kicks in.
Thrown off the Alabama Supreme Court: Fine
That’s why I don’t mess with them. I had a Christmas sweatshirt that my godparents had made when I was a kid. There was so much puffy paint involved in the creation of this sweatshirt. It was HIDEOUS. But I outgrew it long ago and I don’t have anything as an adult, and it feels weird to just go buy one and I can’t be…
Wait... he calls all pop tonic? Tonic is a very specific fizzy drink I put in my gin (contains quinine with means I’ve drunk enough I can never get malaria).
Dude! I almost responded the same thing. It’s pop in Canada and we are demonstrably better* in most way so we must be right.
