Yeah, they've forgotten that the 'big tent' is meant to describe the voters, not the figureheads. You may need some of the people who'd vote for MTG to vote for you; that does not mean you need to embrace MTG herself.

"sympathy for some of the GOP's voters but contempt for their elected and appointed leaders" is the proper position for dem electeds, and instead we get "sympathy for GOP elected and appointed leaders, but contempt for ~Dem~ voters" it's truly insane fuck all these assholes

Bill Clinton's dick is the lament configuration that has cursed american politics for the entirety of my lifetime

"Your identity says nothing about your morality, which is based on active choices you make," is a very simple idea that people fail to understand because they want shortcuts and there's just not.

I hate that AI has made me approach cute animal videos with an air of suspicion. I resent having to harden my heart to the possibility of an unlikely friendship between a very large dog and a very small one

Answering the phone: "Heeey I was just thinking about you!" [Derogatory]

If you sexually abuse people and especially kids, you're dead to me, I don't care what your political affiliation was prior to getting that information. That this is seemingly hard for conservatives to understand speaks volumes.

“would you like photos of donald and girls in bikinis in my kitchen?” -Jeffrey Epstein

"BUT BILL CLINTON IS IN THE EPSTEIN FILES" okay man arrest him too

again i am perfectly fine with locking every one of Jeffrey Epstein's friends in prison, Democrat, Republican or Whatever.

Great filter for sane people still in the dating circus.

All the people in the replies bashing Harbor Freight simply don't understand Harbor Freight's place in the DIYer moral universe. How it works: you earn your right to purchase a DeWalt or Milwaukee only after wearing out or revealing the deficiencies of a Harbor Freight tool

Men just want one thing* and it’s disgusting. *To swim in the bass pro shop fish tank

This is complete hogwash

Every time one anti-vaxxer is quoted in the media, one million scientists and healthcare workers should also be quoted in support of vaccines. False equivalence in the media is killing us.

Republicans:

This is the ideal Dem candidate for next year, you may not like him but this is what peak performance will look like

I donated. :)

Also if you see someone stealing food right now, no you didn't.

my pumkin he is everything

Thinking of running for Senate. Do you think my tats are disqualifying?

There is a direct relationship between how often somebody mentions IQ and how dumb they are.

By the time you turn 30 you should have: - Three friends who had kids and fell off the face of the earth - Six active notebooks - One coworker who makes you want to quit in a fit of visceral hatred

I see it's day four? Five? Of arguing about whether Nazi tattoos are bad, actually.

If your buddies thought it would be 'hilarious' if you got a Nazi tattoo, you hung out with terrible people.

Sorry, there's only one bot that can stand in judgment of me

my paternal great grandparents got off a boat in Newark and were americans from the moment they touched american soil. my only objection to that pattern is that i think we should send a plane to pick up anyone who declares themselves an american.

Always a nice reminder that an important corollary to "You Can Just Do Things" is "You Don't Have to Do That Dumb Thing"

Updating my LEGO White House

once again: asking for a candidate without a Nazi tattoo isn’t asking for a unicorn you sound genuinely insane when you claim that it is

*sigh*

Happy logical Halloween

I can’t speak to his honesty (though desire to enter politics implies he’s probably not the most honest.) But, even giving him the benefit of the doubt, that means at BEST he got tricked into getting a Nazi tattoo and that’s not leadership material.

Nazi tat affair useful because anyone doing bizarre prevarications atm re how its totally normal to have a Nazi tattoo, good actually, not a big deal that'd matter in an election, if anything its cringe you care, etc etc, has revealed you never need to take their politics opinions seriously again.

It’s not great to see people say the Nazi tattoo is fine because he’s against Israel. Like maybe think about that position for a bit.

This version of "well im already apologizing for my comments about women and black people but for some reason pointing out my nazi tattoo is just dirty politics and it's not actually a nazi tattoo or something" is just a disaster

what's really weird to me here is the willingness to stake one's national brand and personal reputation on... some guy? that no one knew about a few months ago and hasn't held office before? what am i missing

If a reformed Nazi wants to be part of helping to make the world better that's fantastic. But I don't think it's unreasonable to say that I'd rather not hand *actual power* to someone who at any point in their adult life thought getting a totenkopf tattoo was a good idea.
