I gotta say dem primary voters made some pretty good calls this year in terms of which candidates were going to be serious general election candidates and which ones were egotistical nightmares, as shown by the behavior of the losers
Defenses of the New York Time's handling of the Dans Sullivan are *extremely* uncomplying not because the story is *inherently* unnewsworthy, but because it badly fails a proportionality test: It is far less important than any number of other things given less coverage.
Jamison Foser@jamisonfoser.bsky.social · yesterdayIf the NYT is so interested in the Alaska Senate race they should ask Dan Sullivan, who in 2016 said he could not support Trump due to "reprehensible revelations" about him, what he thinks about the latest rape allegation against Trump. Oh right I forgot: The NYT hasn't reported the new allegation.
I don't think Boomers should be gay with your dad. I think when they do it they're reinforcing Sinophobia.
the actual election scandal is the fact that the president of the united states is waging a whole of government effort against free and fair elections.

Getting blocked by the mens wear guy because you keep sending him this picture and asking “thoughts?”
A former Miss Switzerland who accused the president of rape isn't a trustworthy media source, but a disgruntled former Mary Peltola staffer who retracted her story is
This appears to be a recurring problem for Ossoff, which suggests that his backside is larger and rounder than what most brands account for in their trouser patterns — even with them building a longer back rise for the higher-end of this spectrum.
In Milwaukee, there's an invisible line between hands that allows beer to travel thru time and space from one hand to another
Thank you New York Times, the rest of the MSM, and the Democratic staffers who want to help Republicans destroy the country.

I just want the Pope to excommunicate JD Vance specifically.

Focus on the Family in the 90s: "Here's how you make good, obedient kids who will do the right thing because they're scared shitless of you beating them." Focus on the Family now: "There's an estrangement epidemic!!"

I really don't think it's going to change the outcome in Alaska but it's pretty clear to me that NYT leadership is desperate to prove they can swing a senate race and are trying their very best to do so in Alaska no matter the damage to the country that results it's reprehensible
NEW — I spoke to Tom, the guy at the South Carolina Trump rally who compared the president's supporters to the Jonestown Massacre. We talked about his loathing for Trump, his love of death metal, and where he learned his impeccable comedic timing. Read our full chat here:

He planned to make good trouble. But he didn't expect to be handed a Fox News mic.

“shut the fuck up” is the only response to anyone complaining in any way about the dan sullivans in alaska
The single worst thing we have going for us, I think, is that the political press is going to be spectacularly eager to believe that this sort of thing is up to Trump
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoQ: If Peltola wins, should Republicans refuse to seat her in January? TRUMP: It's hard to believe that she can even be allowed to run

I find it offensive to list people making 150k a year and who allegedly can’t afford concert tickets alongside someone who makes 27k and can’t afford a cost. One of those people is affluent; the other is genuinely struggling; good progressive politics can’t conflate them.

i don't think anyone should run explicitly on banning online gambling but i do think that a democratic-led government should just quietly take steps to undermine the industry and create an inhospitable regulatory environment
