Okay but hear me out: Who gives a shit?
AMY CONEY BARRET: *pretends not to know if voter intimidation is illegal*

FECKLESS REPORTERS: Oh my god she isn’t using notes. She is our most impressive thinker since Aristotle!
If a liberal black woman showed up at her SCOTUS confirmation hearings and said she didn’t know something as basic as whether voter intimidation is illegal you can be damn sure the media wouldn’t hyperventilate about how her lack of notes means she’s brilliant.
Hell they called Sonia Sotomayor dumb based on nothing at all except their own racism.
Maybe she should have brought some notes.

REPORTERS: Oh my god Amy Coney Barrett is amazing she doesn’t even need any notes.

SENATOR: What is the First Amendment?

AMY CONEY BARRETT: Ooh. Gosh. Who knows?

Nobody asked Garrison Keillor a damn thing.
He’s wrong about the basic-human-rights part, and he’s wrong about the we-can-all-agree-about-education-and-taxes part. He’s a fool with neither moral compass nor the most basic understanding of topic he’s discussing and he can fuck right off. Image
Keillor’s position is basically that if the womenfolk and the gays would just accept their subjugation, the men could get the economy on track. Like I said: nobody’s looking to this clown for guidance, and that’s a good thing, because he’s wrong and bad on every dimension.

Is Lindsey Graham raising money in a Senate office building?

Who’s gonna dig up the old Lindsey Graham quote about Al Gore making a fundraising phone call from the wrong building?

I don't think you're supposed to rush through a Supreme Court justice in the middle of a pandemic, 20 days before Election Day, just so you can use the hearing to raise money from a Senate Office building, but what do I know?
Oh look there’s a law and everything. Who knew? (Everyone knew, Lindsey knew, he doesn’t give a damn.)

This article contains no actual data. If you click through to the Gallup poll it links, you find a negligible gender gap, and *89 percent of men wearing masks.*

Women are doing better than men, but this article badly exaggerates the gap & normalizes Trump as typical of men.
Stop linking to bullshit articles that make broad claims without offering any data to back them up and in the process make the deadly behavior of our asshole president seem like an inevitable and natural result of genetics. Thank you!
Screenshots 1-3: The New York Times pretending that men reject mass wearing in large numbers, while presenting no data.

Screenshot 4: Gallup poll finding *89 percent of men wear masks,* which NYT links to as though it supports NYT’s point.

Extremely dishonest!

The Commission on Presidential Debates has had a Republican who worked for Ronald Reagan as its executive director for every day of its existence.

But thank you for the reminder that the aspiring fascist in the White House is losing Republican support.

Incidentally, Bob Dole not only voted against creating Medicare, he *bragged about it* while running for president in 1996, a campaign in which he also compared smoking to drinking milk.

Bob Dole is very bad, and has always been very bad.

Oh okay one more Bob Dole tweet. Here’s my all-time favorite campaign ad:

Every single reporter demanding that Joe Biden answer a question but not demanding Pence/Trump answer a perfectly straightforward question about abortion bans in a post-Roe world is demonstrating their own bias.
The question Harris didn't answer last night was a question that *Mike Pence asked her so that he could duck the moderator's question about abortion rights* and the entire news media is helping Pence, revealing their own biases.

This little feeding-frenzy is a wonderful example of how reporters carry water for Republicans.

Pence ducked a moderator question about abortion, asking Harris an unrelated question to distract from it. Reporters privilege Pence's dodge by making the story about Biden/Harris.

1)Trump has never had a net positive approval rating for a single day of his presidency so I don’t know what this guy thinks “popularity” means.

2) there are actual polls that tell us what “regular” people thought of the debate, and they thought Biden win.

3) projection!
If you mean white people, just say white people.
Also Wikipedia tells me this guy grew up in New York City. I grew up in a rural town of 300 people. Fuck this.
