If he really wants to standardize voting at the national level, I think this might actually backfire on the GOP in the long run. Mail-in voting and early voting is extremely popular across the political spectrum, while lazy ignorant old people, the life blood of the GOP for over fifty years, often don’t carry ID or even know where theirs is.
Reagan being president. No, not even now.
Hell, I’ve been waiting for 99942 Apophis to swing by us since Stargate was still on the air. Still got five years left on that one, but 2004 when that was first called out as a concern was the first time I really started contemplating the idea of the actual end of the world, in a bang not a whimper.
Sure, Y2K was supposed to cause some chaos, and 2012 was fun from a “what if magic is real” sort of angle, but everything else has been a gradual dawning realization that the world as we know it is probably going to be gone in my children’s lifetimes – not over yet, but profoundly changed, more difficult, the slow closing of the book on a golden age for humanity we didn’t fully appreciate while we were in it.
It is fenced off on the grounds of the Royal Hospital in Chelsea, but some good aim with a small catapult could still get the job done.
Give it to me.
I hope you’re referring to the unfinished compilation Salmon of Doubt as the sixth, and not that weak sub-fanfic tripe by Eoin Colfer.
Lamb was great! Really does a fantastic job of highlighting the hypocrisy inherent in modern religious constructs.
Godel, Escher, Bach
Infinite Jest
The Lord of the Rings
The Demon-Haunted World
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
Slaughterhouse-Five
Small Gods
Master and Commander
and everything else written by those authors.
The first two or three on that list might take several fits and starts to get through, YMMV, but they are WELL worth the effort, and you will come out the other side changed by the experience. The others are all pretty easily digestible, but no less transformative.
That they hate America? Yeah, I gathered that.
Hey Nikki? Hey, maybe that’s not a good thing. Maybe that’s something you shouldn’t be happy about, and something you should push back against if you actually care about your party or your country.
What’s that? You only care about your own skin?
A sound bite of him soiling himself on mic would be fun.
Saddest thing is nobody is going to watch this who hasn’t already decided.
The people who voted for him in the last two elections, who would gladly lick the diaper leakage dribbling down his leg off his lifted loafers, will not watch this. They will watch the clips of Fox News sycophants highlighting the two or three gotcha lines and declare him the victor, regardless of his performance.
People on the fence will tune it out, as they have everything else, because they are absolute fucking morons who don’t give a shit about anything outside their own sight line.
Harris supporters will confirm that she is a competent orator and debater who won against a gibbering human suitcase full of soiled laundry, and nothing will change.
Ask a Palestinian in the West Bank if they think Hamas are terrorists or freedom fighters.
“Terrorist” is a thought-terminating cliche.
Both Israel and Hamas are religious extremists who exploit and murder innocent civilians. Neither one is worthy of our aid or our defense. Send aid to the poor people caught in the middle of this shit and stop sending weapons.
The other side gives bribes too. The only difference is that Israel has a stronger lobby and a bigger pot to finance their payoffs.
This will never end until we get the money out of politics.
The lobbyists getting fat and rich off their layouts from weapons manufacturers will ensure it never gets done. Who do you think Israel is getting all their guns and drones and missiles from? Guess what? It’s the same place Hamas gets theirs from. The only difference between them is the number of bank accounts and off-the-books deals on the way there.
Those bombs will keep flowing to both sides as long as money keeps flowing back. Ideology has nothing to do with it. It’s all about the cash.
If the US stopped taking sides in this ass conflict, maybe the corrupt fuckers running the war from both sides would have a harder time profiting from it and knock it the fuck off.
There’s a YouTube short that strips out the autotune. Might be useful for driving away rodents from inside your walls.
You say you want a revolution, well you know…
Elections are not the time to be “fixing things”. Elections are for deciding on who has the best tools at the moment to fix things once the election is settled. Jill Stein doesn’t have any tools at all (unless you want to be crass and call her and her supporters tools), so all she can do is criticize what the other guys have and hope maybe they’ll get mad enough to drop some at her.
The GOP really hates the working class.
