They only want to "help" if it doesn't affect them. As soon as the going gets tough, they bail. Look no further than Skinned. He would rather surround himself with white people who overdose by the dozen on a daily basis than live next to a person of color.


It's been mostly psychotic people lately. You wouldn't even believe the day I had today. Kind of had it out with one of the sickest person ive ever met and he tried to command me multiple times for lack of a better word. He was the scariest combination of diagnoses, had a Glasgow smile, and that wasn't the most extreme thing he has done to himself. I'm trying to go to sleep but I'm still having to process the encounter. I'm in a weird sector of the economy. We're about to go constitutional carry here and I'm in the nut house/s

Now that hospitals are on the menu for shooter it's like wtf, why are people trying to make health care workers' lives any fucking worse. We're struggling. I got home like 2 hours ago, ate taco bell and drank some tequila and paced in my garden for 45 minutes and its almost midnight and I have probate hearings bright and early tomorrow because I'm a deputy clerk for the county and motherfuckers need probated.

My neighborhood is pretty diverse. It used to be redlined but that was way before I was alive. Blacks, whites, even high yellow here.

That's NOT fair.
I may disagree with some or everything says, but I would never use his job as any kind of put down... even jokingly.

I didn't use his job as a put down. I used his race, political ideology, and location. The rust belt is a shit hole and I'd rather live in Haiti.

I have a friend who is a long-term care ombudsman and another who is a public defender for youth so I can appreciate this kind of service. The shit that I hear from both of them is pretty insane and I'm glad that we have people like you doing stuff that's actually important. I hope you know that when I call you out it's all in jest.

Same difference. That'd be just like saying... everyone from the middle east is... bad or whatever.

Almost all of them are though...it's pretty rare to find a nice Christian or Jew from a country dominated by Muslims...

Kansas kept abortion as a constitutional right 60-40.

In the Arizona Senate race, Masters has a 4 point lead with 55% of the votes counted.

In Michigan, Rep Peter Meijer is down by 6 points with half the votes counted.

Remember when I was predicting in the Dobbs thread that even in deep red states there wouldn't be a majority for a total abortion ban, and that the radical fringe of religious zealots in the GOP would have to grapple with this reality sooner rather than later?

that’s because you made a sensible take on the situation. in this country (America) only knee-jerk, far left or right (aka fender or ghot) takes get attention

Yes, but I think we were in agreement on that. The disagreement was whether or not this would hurt the GOP electorally with right wing voters. This amendment was specific to abortion only so it makes sense that people voted the way they did. My argument was that voters were going to vote GOP even though they are pushing very pure pro-life legislation. I don't think moderate voters are going to vote Democrat or stay at home when there are so many other issues that they care about. Staunch pro-lifers though, WILL stay at home if the GOP betrays them by backing abortion under some circumstances because the parties will be identical from their perspective.

Right, but then again, I stressed multiple times that it would take time for persuadable voters to catch on to the radicalism of the GOP on this issue, and that it would therefore hurt them electorally at some point in the more distant future, but not so much in 2022.


Still not sweating my 3k fg though. :P
