Iā€™m still driving a little sporty thing with a clutch. Itā€™s only way to drive.

Honestly heā€™s got a rare and serious disease, and if some of his personalities are violent thatā€™s not really great. Maybe not someone we want as a senator, by the way.

Iā€™m sure this will be obvious to say, but there is really no difference in the way the right uses black celebrities or supporters today and the way plantation owners forced their slaves to insist they were well treated and had plenty to eat. The evil of slavery never really went away, it simply retreated to a safe place to regroup and find a more palatable way for white supremacists to get what they wanted - so they created the worldā€™s biggest prison system and gave themselves a twofer - nearly free slave labor while simultaneously laying claim to ā€œlaw and orderā€ by locking up ā€œthose people.ā€ Then they get to trot out a black celebrity or two, the way they promoted one slave to overseer, and they get to say, ā€œSee weā€™re not racist. Liberals are racist because they want to keep these people dependent on the government.ā€ Itā€™s pure insidious evil.

Like all Republicans Iā€™m certain her cosplaying at patriotism is borne from the thought, ā€œHell they put me in danger.ā€ If weā€™re looking for any more motive weā€™re wasting our time.

I think theyā€™re trying to unionize, meeting when and where management is unaware. Iā€™m still in negotiations with my toasterā€™s bargaining committee.

Why do all these black athletes gotta embrace cancel culture like this?

How much common sense does it take not to put swastikas on your stuff? The excuse is that sheā€™s comparing pro-vaccine people to Nazis. I keep dreaming of an over-the-rainbow someday time when these people go back in their sewers where they belong.

Which all these? Thatā€™s an odd comment.

Alas, that so much COVID research may serve instead to prolong this plague.

Yeah, fundraising in Europe. What the hell is THAT about, when she represents Arizona?

So how do those get publicized without becoming too invasive of the personal space? I wasnā€™t aware of this but I donā€™t live in GA or follow celebrities all that closely. Is this something that is well-known in general?

Not sure if even Chris Rock in 2021 would approve of this 1996 Chris Rock bit.

Hey, I met Trump a dozen years ago and shook his hand. How do I get in on this executive privilege?

Thatā€™s not what your hand had to shake to get it.

I wrote elsewhere - this will become a self-fulfilling prophecy. The GQP will lose the election for lack of participation, but it wonā€™t stop them from screaming the elections (in 22 and 24) were stolen.

The logic of how something can be stolen when nobody showed up will be lost on the media and most Americans.
