But wait! Gay has a second (or rather first before the currently common one) meaning! I can thus answer this honestly without triggering the trap, provided that I'm in a joyous mood at the time!

Foiled your dastardly plans again, Ra's al Gay!

what do you think publicly repudiating Israel would do for the democrats' chances of winning the presidential election?

Would probably improve them. Dramatically so if backed by actions such as stopping all weapons shipments

It makes sense for them to say nothing publicly while privately trying to tie down those loose cannons.

First of all, no. It doesn't make sense to publicly do the opposite of what a majority of the population, including an overwhelming majority of your own base, wants.

Also, "loose cannons" must be a new fucking record for downplaying 75 years of apartheid rule and an ongoing genocide!

Thanks, those are great too! 😁

I dunno.. Supposedly British naval tradition is "monstrous! Nothing but rum, sodomy, prayer, and the lash!"* and Trump is a teetotaler who would never pray to anything but a flattering AI rendering of himself..

*to use the longer version of the fake Churchill quote

No, that's not the best Gadsden flag parody. Far from it. Here's some better ones:

Guess this is a Cyanide week, not a Happiness week 🤷

Unfortunately, they caught him after the first two and then he was shot on the orders of a third 😮‍💨

A long time ago he did useful things before the brain rot set in.

Yeah, he made a Space Invaders clone when he was 11 or 12. Since then, though, he's just been a rich guy paying more competent people to do stuff and then taking credit for it himself.

Just because someone is a twat now doesn't mean we should erase all their past achievements.

Nobody's doing that. I listed all of them above.

Well at least you have some dragons to fuck 🤷

AccuWeather, which has a terrible track record when it comes to predictions.

Don't you just love it when people name their companies sarcastically?

Would be like if Alpha Romeo was called PractiCar or NextDoor was called ChillNeighbors 😁

This isn't the NSA snooping on your private conversations because it's a day ending in a y.

This is a search for corroborating evidence against someone credibly accused of inciting a fucking insurrection done with reasonable suspicion, court order, the works.

As for the "gag order" part, Trump is known to routinely delete evidence and there's no doubt that Musk would warn him to do so if it didn't put himself in legal jeopardy.

Tl;Dr: you're comparing apples and hand grenades.

When in fact the only reason why they still win any elections is because of their extremely effective messaging (read: gaslighting people already in the echo chamber) of absolutely radioactive hippo diarrhea.

Edit to add illustration:

Any idea how to find the instagram post with the dude butchering the pronunciation? My duckduck fu fails me..

Kinda awkward when you want to boycott something, but you weren't consuming it in the first place. Same thing happened with Chick-Fil-A.

You think THAT'S bad? I wanted to boycott them too, but can't even flip off the building as I pass it, owing to the nearest one being on the other side of the Atlantic ocean!

So free as in speech, not beer? Got it.

Polls aren't very indicative of election results in a state with as much voter suppression as Florida.

There'd probably have to be at least 10% more voting age Dems than Republicans to make it competitive.

Problem is that all of the states run by the kakistocracy of the American Fascist Party also contain good people who absolutely LOATHE them but are powerless to get rid of them due to gerrymandering and other forms of voter suppression and also can't just move to somewhere with competent non-villains in charge.

You'd think that the Speaker of the House would know what the word EMERGENCY means 🤦🤬

Hasn't for almost 50 years. You'd think a senator, especially one so preoccupied with the issue, would know about the Hyde Amendment 🤔
