So I just went and revisited that whole thing. I remember it vaguely, but not any details.
The gist was that Murphy was deciding whether to have the baby or abort it and the Republican vice president says she's terrible for having it because she's not married.
Of course, I guess the intent was that she was supposed to marry whoever got her pregnant, but it presents as she should have aborted it. Interesting in today's forced birth environment.
It started in earnest with the Southern Strategy, ramped up with the evangelicals in the eighties, fermented with AM radio hosts like Limbaugh, and finally birthed itself in the form of a pussy grabbing con man who benefited from decades of name branding.
It's always been there. I think back to a particular adult of my childhood and two direct quotes:
"I don't hate black people. I just hate ni@@ers."
Upon seeing Kim Bassinger on TV while sitting next to his wife - "I'd give my left nut just to smell her pee."
Trump let all these people say shit like this in public. That's the substance of his cult of personality.
Somehow he'd still have a voice in prison. Kinda like all those interviews with Ted Bundy and Charles Manson et al.
His biggest misery would be to be alive and completely silenced.
Tailgating. It's gonna kill you eventually so let's streamline the process.
Also fuck you, especially when I'm in a god damned exit lane.
Michelle: When they go low we go high.
Kamala: Let the meme trolling begin!
If we do end up descending into a Draconian hellhole of an autocratic dictatorship at least the election run-up is going to be exponentially more entertaining than it was going to be with Joe.
I say that dictatorship part because don't think for a second that the GOP is gonna just roll over and die. Expect hard-line challenges to vote counts in every single swing state.
I'm not sure if this is the same case I read about recently, but it was something along the lines of there being some other much more minor conviction and the AG is arguing that the thirty years spent on the wrongful conviction shouldn't count towards the time given for the other conviction.
I'd suppose the real motivation is hiding from the enormous civil lawsuits that will be coming in.
Unlike the Democrats who had not yet put forth a candidate, the GOP has officially nominated theirs. The Democrats could turn the tables and get a successor off the ballots
I haven't watched that guy for a good while but he sure has given Leon a better life than a dinner plate.
Big pivot from the Republican outrage over Terry Schiavo
That's how I try to describe growing up with it when people ask why I don't to to church or subscribe to any religion.
Aside from the many other aspects of it, even as a child, I couldn't understand why I was supposed to be so enthusiastically smug that I belonged to this thing that seemed to exist only to impose rules on everything imaginable and that those rules would invariably be against anything even remotely fun or pleasurable. Hell we couldn't even use most spices; thanks Dr Kellogg.
At age six or so I legitimately perceived it to be sinful to smile or laugh for fear I'd be punished because there would be some arbitrary rule that whatever caused me to smile or laugh was too worldly.
Fuck that. I'll be miserable and curmudgeonly on my own terms!
I thought the violent misogyny was a feature not a bug
My best guess was VP under FDR, but he had three vice presidents.

In double checking my work, it looks like the alphabet got reduced and the name of w changed.
Now it's doble uve doble uve doble uve
There's a whole thread about it somewhere on Lemmy. I don't think anything is too ugly a look, especially after attempts to keep Trump off the ballot in Colorado because of his thirty four felony convictions. It'll be all both sides rhetoric again.
And naturally it looks like Mike Johnson will lead legal challenges to a new Democrat candidate being on the ballot in battle ground states.
Right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones on Thursday moved to liquidate his personal assets, agreeing to demands from the families of Sandy Hook victims whom he owes more than $1.5 billion in damages over his lies about the 2012 school massacre.

A Texas judge has ruled in favor of a Republican candidate challenging the results in a 2022 judicial race and ordered that a new election be held in the nation’s third-most populous county, a Democratic stronghold that’s been beset by GOP efforts to dictate how ballots are cast.
