Or, there’s some uber elite family out there currently raising a ten year old not-too-white but not-too-dark, not-too-masculine but not-too-effeminate man, whose social media accounts are curated to be believable but not at all offensive to anyone at all. He’ll be the unstoppable force in the future of politics. Or porn stars. I’d prefer porn stars.
If you can take that kind of a pounding, you can handle some criticism and a Twitter storm. I'd vote for Nina Hartley to run some shit just to watch her stare down a few senators on CSPAN and make Bernie Sanders visibly uncomfortable.
He’s probably lying. He lied about being left in the car crash to die by his friends, they pulled him out. He lied about the military, he lied about being straight. What’s next?
Whenever there is an excellent speaker at the DNC or RNC, and it's somebody who's served in a lower public office, or maybe some other kind of public service office, and people are all, "hey, that Kathy Smith should really run for Senate / be a VP candidate / whatever" and they don't ever run? I immediately think, oh yeah, there's video of them doing something really fucked up that they don't want out.
I like how he's doing the all "that was a long time ago, that's not who I am blah blah blah." Like nah man, you're late 20s. That was a few years ago. You're just a prick, own it and go away
Going back to this: phrases like “assuming my gender” and “questioning my sexuality” are so played out. I like this change of pace. How dare you use my genitalia as a vector!
The Louisiana House just voted a bill out of committee 7-2 that defines personhood as beginning at "fertilization" which would outlaw all abortions at any time for any reason, as well as criminalizing miscarriages and some types of birth control. All such activity could be prosecuted as murder. It also contains a bonus endorsement of nullification, so all the greatest antebellum hits are coming back.
Assume I was able to google a picture of Susan Collins wearing dark sunglasses and carrying a white cane.
I often wonder what he would have done if it all came out, put on TV. It was no secret how hard this dude partied, it wouldn't surprise anyone in our town. But this was a bigger office, far beyond town. He had two DUIs, the second he got before he got convicted of the first. There was a 16-17 year old girl when he was 22. I literally told him to GTFO of my house when he brought her over. He had all kinds of stuff wrong with his past, no shortage of things to fuel outrage from the opposite political spectrum.
I wonder about that. Remember the guy who ran against DeSantis, who was later found OD in a hotel room with a male escort? Is that something he suddenly decided to do, or an old secret habit. And if the latter, how did the Republican team not catch wind of it?
If it is something new, I'd bet it is something that person always desired, the new power, money and connections just made it possible. I also wouldn't doubt that a small number of them actually were set up. These politicians are playing chess, not checkers.
Sigh. Twitter is meth for attention whores. I wish they could adopt healthier habits, like cocaine (Instagram) or crack (Facebook). This meth shit is gonna take us all down. For the record, Reddit-heroin, and 4chan is fentanyl, the evening news is beer, NPR is pretentious wine, LinkedIn is coffee, Snapchat is MDMA, and MySpace is cigarettes...used to be everywhere, only really lives on in comments sections and random places you'd rather not need to be.
I know it sarcasm, but from what I read, there is a lawsuit to block the sale to him. It might not happen after all.
That lawsuit’s chance of succeeding is near zero. I don’t know how shareholders can argue that the BOD breached their fiduciary duty by agreeing to a sale with a nearly 20% premium on the stock price.
