Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. (Politics General)

Stores (on and offline) also sell them for both candidates.

Honestly, I just want one to put next to my parent’s Trump sign.

News on KOSA:

From article:

Washington, D.C. — House Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) today announced a Full Committee Markup of 16 bills.

“The Energy and Commerce Committee is continuing its work to deliver solutions and make life better for the American people. At this week’s markup, we will consider more than a dozen bills, including legislation to repeal harmful regulations that are jeopardizing America’s economic and energy security, extend telehealth services for seniors, and continue to incentivize important innovation for pediatric rare diseases,” said Chair Rodgers. “We will also consider legislation to provide the most significant protections and safeguards to date for children online. The Kids Online Safety Act and the Children and Teens’ Online Privacy Protection Act are historic pieces of legislation that finally answer the call of parents across the country who are desperately looking for Congress to act to shield our children from the threats they are facing online. I look forward to taking the next steps in getting these critical pieces of legislation signed into law and ushering in a new era on the internet.”

WHAT: A Full Committee Markup of 16 bills.

DATE: Wednesday, September 18, 2024

TIME: 10:00 AM ET

Gas is down almost a full dollar where I am. Been waiting for it to jump back up per usual but the snapback is almost 2 weeks past due.

Biden must be hitting the “Lower gas prices” button on his desk.

Every time someone tries to kill that schicklgrubing tub of marmalade I get knocked off the internet

The last thing I saw was a CNN alert about the Florida incident being ‘extremely serious’.

Canada had two by-elections today that were considered referendums of Trudeau’s leadership.

Way too early right now, but the early Elmwood-Transcona results suggest the Liberal candidate (who was never really favored but the Liberals usually get more than 10% of the vote) losing by a landslide.

UPDATE: NDP candidate currently leading by around six points ahead of the Conservative candidate, which is far closer than in 2021. Meanwhile the Liberal candidate has a paltry 4%.

The Haitian migrant narrative has reached the point where MAGA is now claiming that the pets aren’t just being eaten, they’re being sacrificed in voodoo rituals.

It’s barely been a week and yet that’s all it took for it to reach literal blood libel.

Wait, where are they saying that? Most I could find (in the news at least) was Marianne Williamson’s “voodoo is real” tweet.

And of course it’s Tucker Carlson.

@Dustcan
Ah, it seems the degeneration of a society into bigotry and fascism is once again following the same decades-old playbook. Really, with how human history has gone up to today, this sequence of steps has become so predictable that it’s a wonder people continue to be caught off-guard or even ignorantly turn a blind eye to it happening within their own borders.

@Dustcan
A thread full of people whose parents shouldn’t have had sex.

Ukrainian special forces have destroyed a Russian UAV base, in Syria
The long arm of the Ukrainian army can reach anywhere it seems like.

@Dustcan
what an asshole Tucker is.

@igotnopicks
Utterly shameless

Trump called the immigrants “animals.” Yikes. Just…yikes.

@Dustcan
The US is a capitalist economy.

Ohhh of course. OF COURSE it was Tucker Carlson. And naturally it was Jack Posobiec boosting it.

Speaking of fascist dipshits, if you recall the “Libertarian Party of New Hampshire” tweet about someone killing Kamala Harris being a national hero, well the guy who runs the account got visited by the FBI for it.

@BlitztheDragon
Maybe next time don’t tell lies on the interwebs.

I think the FBI visited Elon Musk too.

@BlitztheDragon
Libertarians are shit heels, they are either well off bastards who wish to be kings, or no less delusional fuckers than the ones supporting fascism because surely a system that can only end in absolute oligarchy is a great path,

Man, the guy in the video sounds like a total @$$hole. And he looks like one, too.

@igotnopicks
Elon Musk is a billionare, so the bar for consequences is much higher. I mean we know this because of all the shit Trump gets to get away with.

@marinus18
Well, of course Biden isn’t ordering the gas prices to be lowered himself.

It’s just a tongue-in-cheek quip over the GOP’s past attempts at painting him as the responsible for high gas prices and their current drop putting a crimp in that narrative.

@Dustcan
Voodoo is 10x more positive as a religion than any branch of American Christianity so they can fuck right off with that

@marinus18
He’s also an immigrant.
