Monday Open Thread

Vote you jerks. Get your ballot postmarked or dropped off by tomorrow (Tuesday). Please vote for the Democrat in all the races against Republicans. And there are good resources statewide if you’re still unsure. You can also probably still volunteer with your favorite candidate. Tell your friends to vote. It’s crunch time. Let’s do this.

And hey, wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

    To independent-minded voters:

    Shared power curbs the worst excesses of both parties, therefore I recommend voting for a Republican Congress, given that the Presidency is Democratic.

    Hardcore Democrats or Republicans never vote for the other side, so independent voters are the ones who actually decide who’s in charge!

    Take heart, libbies. Y’all can just wait for him to endorse a Democrat Congressin 2026, when President DeSantis is in office.

    But then Steve will have nothing to talk about.

    On Sunday, Hilary Rosen, a longtime Democratic strategist, predicted on CNN’s “State of the Union” that her party will have a bad night on Tuesday because they did not listen to voters.

    “I’m a loyal Democrat, but I am not happy. I just think we did not listen to voters in this election, and I think we are going to have a bad night,” she said.

    She faulted the Democratic Party for ignoring voters’ concerns about the economy, and implored them to “stop talking about democracy being at stake.”

  5. 5

    “When voters tell you over and over and over again that they care mostly about the economy, listen to them,” she said. “Stop talking about democracy being at stake. Democracy is at stake because people are fighting so much about what elections mean. Voters have told us what they wanted to hear. I don’t think Democrats have delivered this cycle.”

    She didn’t mention it but, Jesus H, STFU about abortion, too. Women who are starving because they can’t afford food are amenorrheic, and won’t get pregnant even if they can gin up the energy to fuck.

    We’d be better off if Trump had been re-elected.

    She worries about the future of democracy as much as YLB does.

    @hilaryr
    I worry about the “future of democracy” as much as the next gal. I just don’t think we protect it by demonizing voters prioritizing their family’s livelihoods. Voters of both parties need faith in the system.

    Opinion | My predictions for the 2022 midterm elections
    Republicans are likely to have a massive victory this year, allowing them to take both the House and the Senate.

    This you, Dean?

    Los Angeles County prosecutors have accused the chief executive of a small Michigan software company of compromising the personal information of hundreds of county elections employees.

    Eugene Yu, 51, was arrested early Tuesday just outside Lansing, Mich., after prosecutors alleged he improperly stored the information on servers in China, according to Los Angeles County Dist. Atty. George Gascón. Yu, who is the chief executive officer of a company named Konnech, is expected to be extradited to Los Angeles in the coming days, Gascón said.

    Los Angeles County awarded Konnech a contract in 2020 to store employee payroll and scheduling data using its PollChief software, according to Gascón. Under the five-year contract valued at nearly $3 million, Konnech was not supposed to store information outside the U.S., Gascón said.
    …
    In a statement, L.A. County Registrar Dean Logan said he did not learn of the the district attorney’s office’s actions until this morning. A spokesman for the registrar did not respond to questions about the county’s contract with Konnech or a request for a copy of the agreement.

    Yeah, motherfucker, he’s talking about you.

    WATCH: Whitmer Bails on Interview When Questioned About Pandemic Record
    Michigan governor cites audio difficulty during live TV interview

    Citing a technical difficulty, Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer on Monday bailed on a live television interview immediately after the host asked a question about the Democrat’s pandemic record.

    “Do you have any regrets,” the Fox 2 Detroit anchor asked Whitmer, who in response stared blankly into the camera. The governor then asked someone off-camera if she botched the audio by moving her AirPod, to which the person replied, “It’s okay.”

    Thank you, libbies, for the $53 million Democrats spent during the primary season in order to make this possible.

    Most Election Deniers Are Favored To Win Their Midterm Races

    One-hundred and eight-five Republicans running for House, Senate and governor seats in this year’s midterm elections have denied the legitimacy of the 2020 election. According to FiveThirtyEight’s forecast, more than half of them have at least a 95-in-100 chance of winning their races.

    Notable quotable from BIDEN pollster John Anzalone:

    “I think that this could be a paradigm-shift election, where Republicans are not only making inroads with the Latino vote, but they’re now making inroads with the African-American vote.” https://wsj.com/articles/gop-gaining-support-among-black-and-latino-voters-wsj-poll-finds-11667822481

    Larry Sabato’s Crystal Ball:

    — Our final Senate pick is 51-49 Republican, or a net Republican gain of 1 seat.

    — Our final House pick is 237-198 Republican, or a net Republican gain of 24 seats.

    — Our projected gubernatorial picture is 29-21 Republican, or a net Republican gain of 1 governorship.

    Thanks, Democrats!

    @17 et al. – Tomorrow, for better or worse, we’ll all have to deal with real poll results. I do not see this turning out badly for me personally, given that the Dow is currently up 445 points.

    How Elon’s adventure started:

    “I believe in unrestricted freedom of expression.”

    How it’s going:

    “I’m the world’s richest man.
    And if any of you express an opinion about me that is unfavorable, I will spend whatever it takes on greedy, unscrupulous lawyers to destroy you with lawsuits.”

    For a company trying to work off $20 billion in debt, that should turn out okay, I guess. All he needs is for each and every one of them to send him a check for $1000.

    No problemo.

    My big prediction is that Republicans in the House will hold at least two votes to impeach President Biden before they ever pass any legislation to help working families struggling with inflation.

    And that Chuck Todd will ignore this completely.

    lol! lord kreepshit is well acquainted with “the pain”…

    everytime mary kay writes a check to a liberal cause – heh.. pain…

    When that redneck zoomer rolled the head up its ass boomer and “finished” by putting a junker on blocks.

    heh… not since it confessed to its frat bros its vote for Carter after the real miracle on ice has a shithead endured such “pain”…

    yawwwwn… ogling a zoomer redneck’s baby momma is only one of many ways lord kreepshit gets off to its sins and then suffers the consequences.

    heh.. karma, baby!

    @25 I predict a GOP House takeover in 2022 will remind everyone how awful Republicans are in sufficient time to help Democrats sweep the 2024 elections.

    I’d rather voters find out in 2023 and 2024 what voting for Republicans gets them, instead of running that experiment in 2025-2029.

  28. 28

    Goldie, maybe you should have never been on Twitter in the first damn place.

  29. 29

    @28 For once, I agree with you. Trump was there. It’s a bad neighborhood. I avoided it.

  32. 32

    About half of Republican voters now describe themselves as “Christian Nationalists”. About 80% of these voters say they regard being a Christian and believing in the divinity of Christ as an integrally important part of being a true American. About 70% say they believe the federal government should pass laws making the United States a Christian nation formally recognizing Christianity as the official religion of the United States.

  33. 33

    @32 To be followed by Catholic vs. Protestant religious wars, inquisitions, heretic trials, and stake burnings.

    Unfortunately, Catholics have a 6-3 majority on the Supreme Court, so it appears the rack will be constitutional again.

  35. 35

    In the last 24 hours Twitter mods began issuing permanent suspensions to parody accounts mocking Elon Musk that included the magic word “parody” in the Twitter handle, including one account named “ParodyElonMusk”.

    So now even Elon’s mildest critics are banned from his platform.
    Which is entirely his choice to make as the owner of the platform.
    But it does raise very reasonable concerns among users and advertisers about the utility and value of his platform going forward. And maybe that’s why most of his advertiser dollars, content creators, and many passive users are now fleeing.

    But I’m sure it feels more comforting for Elon to believe that he is being persecuted.

  36. 36

    For reference purposes:

    https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1518623997054918657
    “I hope that even my worst critics remain on Twitter, because that is what free speech means”

    and,

    https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1519036983137509376
    “By “free speech”, I simply mean that which matches the law.

    I am against censorship that goes far beyond the law.

    If people want less free speech, they will ask government to pass laws to that effect.

    Therefore, going beyond the law is contrary to the will of the people.”

    But not apparently contrary to the will of the billionaire crybaby.
    And to be perfectly clear, parody is not only protected expression within the United States, but there has never existed any legal, constitutional requirement that it must be identified as such. The Framers were not nearly as concerned about stupid, gullible people as Elon Musk. But then again, The Framers were not emotionally dependent upon the stupidity and gullibility of 50 million 13-year-olds.

    We’re watching a $44 billion investment go to zero. If Musk doesn’t want to lose everything he put into Twitter, he’d better fire himself and hire a competent CEO.

    Two of them are filthy rich and can claim some accomplishment in life. One is a vain fucking liar, business failure, con-man, tax cheat and pretend billionaire. The last is a silly jerk whose entire life has amounted to tending to liberal wifey’s horsies and trolling a website with maybe a dozen participants.

    None of them get a nanogram of the respect they crave.. craved their entire miserable lives. And they HATE that.
