Correcting myself. I was glancing at headlines before coffee. When will I learn?

Piker (who as far as I'm concerned can go pound sand) said he'd vote third party over JD Vance and Newsom. How about you move to MO and help some democrats win in these fuckin Trump districts or STFU, bro?

But how'd he like the movie?

Hasan Piker defends saying he'd vote third party over Gavin Newsom in 2028 Piker said this week he'd back a third party candidate over Democrat Gavin Newsom in a 2028 matchup against JD Vance.

Sorry, I misread. This idiot said he'd vote third party if the candidates were *JD Vance* and Newsom. (Coffee hadn't kicked in). He can still go fuck himself, btw. I'm voting for a slab of raw meat in 2028 over JD fuckin Vance.

Here's the screenshot from a story; link follows. What a smug asshole.

I'm going to start dreaming in curse words now.

Just read that Hasan Piker will vote third party over JB Pritzker and now I want to smash everything I own with a fucking hammer.

You know what fuckin kills me every MO election cycle MO? That Dems put up a slate of badasses to run for state House and Sen. Not all the time, but mostly. Impressive, credentialed, passionate, smart. And they'll lose to total fucking idiots b/c of dark money.

Kills. Me. Every. Fucking. Cycle.

Reminder that I had a podcast for four years that covered (mostly) leaders in MAGA country. We didn't talk about Burgum a lot, because there wasn't much to say. He's boilerplate MAGA.

However, when we did dive into stories about him, one thing was abundantly clear: He's a fucking moron.

I have all day to talk about what a fuckin dingbat he is. I wouldn't care about him or his dingbattery so much if he hadn't pushed into tech/speech/COVID. But he did, and I do, and fuck that guy.

By collaborating with someone who worked for The Daily Caller? Taibbi is himself a pompous right wing gas bag.

Did someone just learn how ChatGPT works? This image has LLM 2022 vibes. So lazy.

I posted this somewhere else in the thread, but Taibbi deserves nothing less than being forced to file for personal bankruptcy. What a shill.

Nothing says "I'm a deeply curious investigative reporter with an eye for the truth" quite like collaborating with someone who tried (and failed) to sniff out the debunked lab leak theory while working for (checks notes) The Daily Caller. I hope bro eventually is forced to file for bankruptcy.

Oh, JFC. Taibbi must be so proud right now.

The headlines about Bad Bunny's "woke" performance really makes me want to rewatch Kendrick, J-Lo ('member the cages???), Gaga ("This Land is Your Land" made me cry) and Beyonce where she straight up celebrated the Black Panthers.

Media? Your memory is garbage.

I mean seriously...it makes me feel less like a crazy person that you confirmed that we keep seeing the same stupid comments from ridiculously racist people in my lifetime. Thanks again!

Darrel, it's still maybe too early to call it, but I will anyway: You made my week. Thank you.

And also "voodoo" with "Jane Seymour is for some reason that has something to do with the plot...a virgin?"

"So anyway, somehow Jane Seymour is a virgin...and?"

I watched it with my husband in something like 2010 or 2011 because he'd never seen it. We kind of couldn't believe it. We tried to describe it to friends and we even sounded unfathomably racist in the retelling of the racist plot.

Does anyone else remember that time that Rush Limbaugh had dinner at a Black-owned restaurant or maybe just ate in a predominately Black neighborhood and his genuine response was, "Wow, these people are so nice! Who knew?" This was in the mid 00s I think?

Crypto super PAC group expands war chest to more than $190M The PAC network, known as Fairshake, reeled in new contributions from the crypto company Ripple and the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz.

Oh good. The PAC that spend $1.4M to unseat Cori Bush has $193M this cycle. I'm sure that's great for democracy. Because nothing says "healthy democracy" like Andreessen Horowitz pumping $24M into a PAC.

Drunk, cavorting and making out in an Uber. Sloppy. Messy. Like me in college only she represents a political party and a far right religious movement that says such things are both sinful and worthy of stoning or whatever.

I really just want this to hang in a frame somewhere in my house because nothing is more Missouri than this. A story broke a couple of years ago about the most conservative woman in the MO House--yep--who was openly having an affair with another married man. I think she was married, too?

And now what remains of the St. Louis Post Dispatch.

YouTube video by Democracy Now! John Brennan Faces Calls to Resign After CIA Admits to Spying on Senate Torture Probe

Brenan helped to sustain (didn't want to go down this rabbit hole) the surveillance state. He resigned only when Trump took office. What does this have to do with Wyden? This is the guy I can't stand. Here he is in his own words:

Oh great. The St. Louis Post Dispatch has entered its billionaire ownership phase...said no one ever.

A nutter with a gun would do it for free.

According to Ballotopedia, he confirmed one: Marco Rubio, whom (nearly) everyone in the Senate confirmed.

So, in short "some" = 1.

I'd give an entire limb to send a Wyden (or my previous senator Claire McCaskill) to senate from Missouri.

Do you mean Brennan? Not that I want to go back down that particular rabbit hole but how is that scary and to whom? (I'm not a big fan of Brennan.)
