Keep in mind that after Romney lost in 2012, the autopsy report indicated the party needed to broaden its base to continue competing and the 2016 reflex was to double down on the existing base to the exclusion of all others.

He immediately followed that up with a second tweet all but saying it was sarcasm.

Happy birthday @ohmond!

It won't stop people already intent on it but it can't hurt society to get a better firsthand picture of the complete collapse of youth mental health, and it forces the perpetrator to have to reckon with what he did.

I'd just rather know for certain than speculate, the gun things won't happen and non-gun things are just us shooting in the dark

I feel like they need to take advantage of catching one of these school shooters live for once so they aren't trying to piece together his mental state in the past tense

that is squirrel abuse

Happy birthday @//>wagz./ and/or @wagz !

I assume he got fired because he effectively leaked internal deliberations that weren't supposed to trickle down to the volunteer level. Like even if the actual decision makers pulled the plug on NH, you're not supposed to admit it out loud.

If these numbers are accurate, Trump campaign is basically ceding the airwaves for virtually everything on the table (268-D) and staking the entire election on PA/GA (on the assumption of holding NC).

General warning (regarding posts that have been removed) that we need to dial back direct/personal insults. If you want to do that, go to TD. Second general warning, we aren't going to intentionally otherize/butcher names. Whether we intend it or not, the dog whistle gets blown. Third warning: if RFK jr drives by with a severed whale head strapped to his car, please run in the other direction.

isn't that just called masturbating

here's the new indictment overlaid on the old one to compare the changes https://www.muellershewrote.com/p/trumps-superseding-indictment all the charges are the same, but they took out any reference to the DOJ conspiracy and rewrote bits to make clear that everyone still in the indictment was acting in a private capacity etc.

that is a dang big ol' kitty

The screenname sounds vaguely familiar but I can't say I knew him. My condolences.

Washington was a consensus candidate and Tyler got kicked out of his party after his VP election, otherwise iirc in any case where a new party's candidate won it's because that party had already absorbed a prior main party's infrastructure/base.
