I was super confused as to why his name appeared on my California ballot as the Vice Presidential Candidate for the American Independent Party. But it was definitely there.
Edit to add: it’s pretty dang weird that, per the linked article, West could be selected as the VP candidate for the party of uber segregationist George Wallace without his knowledge or consent. California ballot rules are apparently really lax about that sort of thing. But as long as they were picking someone without their permission, why not choose someone more popular who actually has a chance of gaining them votes, like Michelle Obama?
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
I wasn’t calling you out as wrong, maybe yours didn’t have him on it, I don’t know. And you were definitely correct that he missed the deadline to appear as a presidential candidate as he wanted to. I simply meant to say he was definitely and unexpectedly there on mine, and the fact that he did appear on mine was really weird to me.
New York, Portland, Ore., Washington, D.C., and Seattle could lose funding for a wide swath of programs that serve their poorest, sickest residents after the president moved last month to restrict funding, escalating his political battle against liberal cities he’s sought to use as a campaign foil.
The White House is considering slashing millions of dollars for coronavirus relief, HIV treatment, screenings for newborns and other programs in Democratic-led cities that President Donald Trump has deemed “anarchist jurisdictions,” according to documents obtained by POLITICO.
Surely the pro-life people will object to this victimization of the newly-born. Oh, yeah, they are already born, they are now disposable. Assholes.
Only problem is that William was a bit of a fash as far as I know. Most right wing intellectuals* from Churchill to the Austrian school thought Mussolini was god’s gift.
