    Rule 34, bro.

    Also, Oz looks lile he should be Sinestro in a Green Lantern movie. Fettermans head ate his damned neck from the back.

    Christ, swing states are a trash fire right now.

    Put a tux on Fetterman, he could do “Puttin’ on the Ritz” with Gene Wilder.

    That didn't take long: https://twitter.com/JohnFetterman/status/1585273092812709888

    They even used exactly the format I imagined, of running back and replaying "local political leaders" over and over.

    God I thought I cut the cord to get away from political commercials. Damn streaming services all have them. ‘No exceptions for rape, incest, or life of the mother, too extreme.’ On loop ad nauseam.

    I like how Charlie Crist called Desantis “the lockdown” governor because he’d been the only governor in Florida to do so then followed up seconds later saying we needed the lockdowns because science.

    Speaking of that debate, Desantis clutching his pearls at the idea that students could be taught that America is built on "stolen land" despite the fact that Florida itself was stolen from the Natives by the Spanish, and then from the Spanish by us. We literally built Florida on twice stolen land.

    So it’s canceled out. What’s the problem?

    The problem is the end result of what Florida now is: a meme for the rest of the world to laugh at.

    This is why I quit using YouTube and Hulu years ago. I got the same political add every other video. Their strategy was to trick me into paying them more to make the political adds stopped. Instead I just stopped using their service all together.

    If you use a web browser with an ad blocker, it keeps youtube clean. As for Hulu, I've never seen ads there, so maybe you're on the ad-supported tier?

    This was on my tv. I’m on no tier with Hulu. Because if they want to feed me political ads they get no money. This was years ago. I’m personally ok with not knowing how the handsmaid tale ends.

    I have Hulu on my TV and there are no ads. Maybe the person whose account I am leeching off of is just richer than you peasants.

    Finally got a chance to go vote today. Looked up where I was eligible to vote and there was a list of at least 50 locations. Stopped by one that was 5 minutes from me, easy as could be.

    There was an old lady — like 80s old — in line who, when it was her turn, couldn’t find her ID then was trying to convince them to let her vote because she didn’t want to drive home to get it. I forget what all they said were acceptable forms of ID, but there was an insanely long list and they were even asking her to go through her phone to see if she had anything on there and they could use that.

    See, this is why I don't get why people are so up-in-arms about voter ID laws. Texas accepts about EIGHT different forms of ID, some of which would be really easy to fake.

    Anyway, I have a question for all of you idiots in other states:

    What are the political ads like in your state?

    Because for this election, all the Texas ads basically say: "Vote for me, because the other guy sucks."

    NO ONE is saying what they are going to do to make things better.

    I have no idea. Historically many of the positions are candidates running as unopposed Democrats, so either a lot of them don't run ads or they don't spend a lot of money on them. The only one I actually care about it is the governor's race, specifically because the Democratic candidate the current state AG and she's pretty terrible. I'm not even sure what her views are other than ones that are self-serving. Our governor is great and is (or was) the highest-rated governor in the country. But like any decent politician, he doesn't feel like continuing his political career. Plus, he's so far removed from the current trend in the Republican party he probably wouldn't move up very far anyway. That's what happens when you have reasonable views.

    Two ad types.

    The republican wants to force you to deliver your incest rape baby under penalty of law even if you die because they are too extreme.

    Or

    The democrat voted 100% with Joe Biden and wants to drive your gas prices up.

    I thought I saw an ad for Tim Ryan, the democrat, that said he agreed and voted with Trumps economic policy. Let’s you know what a democrat is up against in Ohio.

    I think political ads have been like this for a long time, and here in New Jersey it’s similar to what you’re seeing- each party tries to convince voters that the other guy is the bigger shithead because abortion/Trump/spending.

    Beto wants to *gasp* take away ALL your guns

    Or

    Abbott killed babies during the winter storm! (which is accurate)

    I voted for every Dem on the ballot. I had to grind my teeth while doing it, but I still feel it was right. Just doing my part to un-fuck Texas.

    Says the man that we here all agree ain't quite right in the head.

    Just kidding... kinda... We do think that, but not because of who you vote for

    I'm the first to admit I ain't right. Like you know those old timey movies where the grandfather who has line three lines in the flick takes a dramatic pause and says "Somethin ain't right with that boy." I'm who he's referring to.
