I don’t buy new (or used) cars from a dealership, but if I did this would sting. My family have been Toyota people my whole life. I own two of them now.

I stopped drinking Yuengling entirely when they backed 45. I know corporations give money to all sorts of terrible politicians but this is extra shitty. I’m not going to go through all the hassles of selling these and buying Honda’s as a statement but damn it wrankles me.

I hope it ripples out to them not listening to him and not, as I fear, some new more ludicrous version of him taking his voting base and running with it. The comments on a different article about his β€œrally” were mostly, β€œI love (the former guy) and all, but this was just the same old same old.” Basically, he has nothing to say, but they still hold this insane loyalty to him and β€œlove.”

eta: Maybe it’s just me, but that probably violated some spending rules?

Lying under oath. Hmm.

No no no, she β€œdidn’t testify accurately”

That means that even Mother Jones has adopted the NYT standard of passive voice acquittal of fascists.

So β€œshe perjured herself,” or just simply β€œshe lied,” was off the table, I guess?

Full NYT passive voice would have been, β€œan inaccurate statement occurred during Ivanka Trump’s testimony”

In 2015 Walker told ESPN that he used to play β€œRussian Roulette” when guests came to his home. He described these encounters as part of a test of wills, where he would demand that anyone who wanted to challenge him in an athletic endeavor first demonstrate their strength by participating.

So I take a bullet, put it in the cylinder, spin it and tell you to pull it. People would say β€œHerschel, you’re nuts.” I would take that gun, put it to my head, and snap it. That is what it was. I was so fired up that I could overcome anything.

Walker survived the gamble of performative self-harm and he went on to do a series of interviews discussing them during his various post-football promotional endeavors. β€œRussian Roulette In Front of House Guests” became, along with β€œworst trade in NFL history,” part of his brand identity.

You know, he sounds like a perfect fit for Trump’s GOP.

There arent rules about needing to be a resident of a state for a certain amount of time, before you can run for that state’s Senate?

If not, there should be.

What a fucking asshole. It has nothing to do with β€œovercoming” anything and everything to do with being dumb-lucky (or palming the bullet and putting on a toxic show for your own sick pleasure).
I had a friend die pulling this shit in Highschool. It’s sudden and tragic and no one should be making light of such β€œgames.” I already hate this guy.

That would be my bet, if he’s not actually mentally unstable.

He’s from GA, but I don’t know how long it’s been since he lived here full time. I’d suspect he has a house here, at least, as he probably still has family here.

But yeah… people don’t need residency for living in a particular district even. When Ossoff ran for the 6th district, he was actually living right across the line in the 7th. And of course MTG just bought a condo up in Rome, GA when she decided to run in the 14th because the 6th was too sane for her.

(practically mission patches at this point; I should probably order a metric tonne of these because 2021 so far is acting like three 2020’s standing on top of each other in a big trench coat)
