The words are bad enough. But if you can, definitely watch the video because the overall delivery makes it so. much. worse. Owen literally finger-wags at her employees as she yells at/lectures them. Her voice is shaking she’s so angry that employees have the temerity to ask for/expect bonuses. Then she tells them to…

A year ago, I was legit terrified of DeSantis becoming president in 2024, but his determination to go hard right on culture-war issues while making embarrassing gubernatorial gaffes make him seem way less competent as a national candidate.

Believe it or not, guns aren’t allowed to be carried at NRA conferences. They even have checkpoints with metal detectors. Kind of blows that whole “more guns = more safety” argument out of the water.

Holy shit, with that headline I thought you were saying there was a mass shooting at an NRA conference. And you know what, I thought maybe we would actually see some people ready to talk about sensible gun laws. I mean, the NRA is like, “fuck kids, use them as target practice” but I wonder if they’d change their tune…

They aren’t stupid, they just know that their words are meaningless and everything they do is in service of maintaining power, so they say whatever they want because they know their target audience will believe it without question regardless of how overtly wrong it is.

The most ironic part about this to me is the fact that the Republicans thought they were sticking it to those troublemakers, who did get reinstated to their seats, but according to an AP article on the original expulsion (https://apnews.com/article/tennessee-lawmakers-expulsion-d3f40559c56a051eec49e416a7b5dade).

On the plus side, I’ve been lead to believe that there is a long-standing recycling program in place. Apparently, they toss it, and leave it,

Don’t forget gerrymander the fuck out of states they controlled ever since Project Redmap in 2010. Why bother appealing to the majority when you can achieve supermajorities with only 40% support?

B.S. that the survival of the party is at stake. They’ve done nothing for how long now except pander to their most extreme base of voters, and each time they’ve lost the party does nothing but double-down on extremism rather than taking time to think that maybe they’re on the wrong side of things.

Well, am i the only one to think it is a TINY bit nice that Mic Jagger still cares enough to answer a call and send a guy over to cut the cameras?

Exactly. They’re young. They’re both in the entertainment industry. And they’re both wealthy.

I mean, marrying at 19 is almost never a good idea but I kind of get the feeling MBB grew up with shitty stage parents who made her grow up too fast and she was probably the one supporting the family, and the Bongiovis seem like a lovely family so maybe this is what she needs.

Apparently he’s 20 years old, so at least she’s not marrying one of the many older creeps who were being way too groomy with her when she was still sixteen (COUGH Drake is a predator COUGH).

Anyone who stays in, or was in, that orbit gets what they deserve.

Both Jones and Pearson delivered powerful, moving speeches about democracy amid the blatant injustice.

“What they did today was equivalent, at least equivalent, maybe worse depending on how you look at it, to doing an insurrection in the State Capitol,” said House Speaker Cameron Sexton (R).

And that's what I don't understand. Why wouldn't insurance companies be all over this shit? They're paying out more for doomed pregnancies than they would for an abortion. 

This is a good start, but those that voted to oust these representatives need to be voted out themselves or they will think they can do it again.

I don’t want to minimize any of the other big issues surrounding this, but we shouldn’t let the economic impact pass unacknowledged. A bunch of money and other resources were expended, becausecorrect and timely medical care was denied.

It’s a matter of time before a woman dies due to being denied abortion services for these situations.
