The one who knocked up a 12 year old when he was 19, and who claims their son (that he raised) is her brother.

Lemmy has terrible UX too. I only find it useable because of third-party apps.

Mate I've got briefs that are two decades old

I don't think I would do that. I kinda like having new-ish underwear.

Who do you think is pushing the climate change denial agenda?

Rupert Murdoch.

But if it came to it, if my death in a bayonet charge contributed to the destruction of Russia, sign me the fuck up.

And the deaths of your loved ones? Your sons, your nephews, your brothers? Still worth it?

Not to mention the lives of the soldiers you kill in battle. Every one of them as precious as yours.

Yeah, exactly.

They last two or three years and I throw them out as they wear out. Six briefs is my annual top up. They come in packs of six.

Fruit of the Loom men's briefs.

I buy a six-pack from Walmart every year. I don't think I've ever been so loyal to a brand.

Hey, quick question. Are you male and old enough to be drafted?

You seem a little eager for WWIII, and I'm wondering if you're going to be one of the people fighting in it.

This is Guam erasure.

Instead of releasing a huge number of these insects into trash sites (which isn’t practical)

Try it anyway!

The Democrats have now had two black presidential candidates (one who became president, and one who didn't), both of whom had fairly exotic backgrounds.

We had:

Barack Obama, who had a Kenyan father, and was raised by his white American mother, in Indonesia.

Kamala Harris, who had a Jamaican father, and was raised by her Indian-American mother, in Canada.

Notably, neither of them had African-American parents, and both spent much of their formative years outside of America.

I've been wondering for a while if there was any significance to this coincidence, and now I've realized what it is.

Because of their backgrounds, neither Obama nor Harris speak with any trace of African-American dialect or accent. I think that's what Democrats are after.

The Democrats are averse to African-American dialects and accents. They want a black person who sounds "white".

Would an African-American person who grew up in an African-American speech community ever have a chance of being the Democrats' presidential candidate?

All the people who were saying "But logically, Harris is still the best option" really misunderstand how people vote.

People vote with their heart. They have to be enthusiastic about their candidate. If they aren't enthusiastic, they stay home.

There was a burst of enthusiasm for Harris when she was nominated, because people thought she might do something about Gaza. That enthusiasm evaporated when we realized she probably wouldn't.

The New York Times predicts a Trump victory. The say the probability of a Trump victory is 90%.

Edit: Probability has dropped to 89% now, if that makes you feel better.

Edit: Now it’s 93%.

 

I can't wait for Democrats to accuse one of their own of being a Russian asset.

 

In case it wasn't already obvious, there clearly isn't a single Arabic speaker on AOC's team.

 

As far as I know, she is the only Democrat challenging Joe Biden for the nomination.

 

That’s weird. I thought they said it was because he had a cold.
