She drinks wine while playing with her niece. He steals from cancer patients. It all evens out. /s

The DNC is working for their rich donors and doing a pretty decent job for them. They shouldn’t act so surprised that people who aren’t benefiting from the economy don’t come out to support them.

Date who you want. Do what you think is best. But it’s weird that abortion is so often posited as a gender question when race is a better predictor. If white women stop voting for Republicans all of our rights would be safe.

Talk to your mothers and aunts, the rest of us can’t outvote them yet.

When I said “more data than is publicly available now”, did you think I was referring to a title on Lemmy?

The article includes someone they refer to as a “whistleblower”. The analogy with ACORN would be noted liar Jacob Wohl.

The article also includes a statement from FEMA Agency head, Deanne Criswell. I was talking about her when I said “idiot Democrats who fired the accused without even the slightest inquiry”.

On second thought, I’m not sure she’s a Democrat. I assume she was appointed by Biden. But the article does not indicate any sort of inquiry or have a statement from the manager involved.

Are you under the impression that only NC Republicans hate FEMA? This conspiracy theory is decades old. I suspect you are referring to Helene because you are ignorant of the long standing antipathy between Republicans and FEMA.

If you have any reason to believe Republicans aren’t threatening FEMA workers after Milton, feel free to share it. Otherwise, maybe wait for an investigation before jumping to conclusions.

No, you should not have any “takeaway” without way more information than is publicly available now. This is the same thing that happened with ACORN: Republicans made a bunch of false accusations and idiot Democrats were way too fast about accepting their premise and firing the accused without even the slightest inquiry into what actually happens. I see we have learned nothing.

My money says this was entirely about keeping their crews safe. It doesn’t make sense for them to just arbitrarily not help Republicans, so I want to hear from the manager before they are pilloried.

I get where you’re coming from, but the reason I disagree is because you’re assuming these people are acting in good faith. Why do they need a title?

Queer folk have always used symbols to distinguish ourselves and find others. We’re ~10% of the population and it’s necessary. Straight people do not commonly do so, and 100% of the people who feel the need to wear it like a badge are actually signaling their refusal to let the rest of us exist.

I, for one, would feel perfectly comfortable in an MMO with 90% straight people. (This is just called existing in public.) I would leave immediately if 90% of people wore a “Straight” title for no discernable reason.

53% of white women voted for Trump.

You need to learn to read graphs, bud. Whatever that is, it’s not what you’re claiming it is.

53% of white women voted for Trump.

21% of Black men.

And once again, the majority of white women vote Republican.

the person has to be able to fill out and sign it themselves.

This. If she voted, but it is postmarked after her death, it will probably be flagged, however, you haven’t broken the law.

Austin Powers was a war criminal!

I’m sure this guy operated his bulldozer with all of the due care and concern for innocent human life as the IDF bombing campaign that by their own reports have killed twice as many civilians as militants.

Both major parties and most US citizens absolutely condone this shit.

I went to private religious schools until my second year of college. None had the 10 commandments posted anywhere. I know we’re all in agreement that this is a severe violation of the first amendment. As a Christian I hate that these idiots are using my faith as a cudgel (as has happened far too often).

But also, this is incredibly tacky.

I can’t respect conservatives because lying is their first go to on any issue. Instead of trying to convince people that their plans are good, they just lie about their plans. (Which is unsurprising, because their plans have been proven not to work.)

I hope that every Republican angry that a Democrat might do something good steps on a LEGO tonight.

I’m sure the FEC will jump right on that.

ACAB

Journalistic ethics means disclosing this sort of thing. It probably is good to point out, just so that norms don’t get completely forgotten, but, yeah, this shouldn’t surprise anyone.
