"Sure, me and millions of other Americans are done with corporate democratic candidates chosen for us by the DNC."

100% oops:

-> Georgia voters ousted two Republican members of the state's Public Service Commission in favor of two Democrats - the first Democrats to win statewide nonfederal offices in decades.

-> Democrats in Mississippi Break the G.O.P.'s State House Supermajority

-> Every single county in Virginia - even deeply red counties - saw shifts TOWARDS the Democrats, as opposed to how they voted 1 year ago.

-> Dems flip Wichita School Board from a 4-3 GOP majority to a 5-2 Democratic majority. Democratic candidates Amy Warren and Amy Jensen defeated Republican incumbents Hazel Stabler and Kathy Bond.

-> Two of Tuesday's school board elections were in Bucks County, Pa., which was considered "ground zero" for right-wing groups' takeover of school boards in 2021. A few years ago, conservatives on these boards in Pennbridge and Central Bucks districts were using their roles to pass policies targeting LGBTQ+ students and banning books.

---> Democrats flipped control of both boards in 2023, and on Tuesday, they ousted every Republican from both of these boards, except for one. The Pennbridge school board is now 8-1, with Democratic members in control. The Central Bucks school board is 9-0.

-> In Texas, we even won in Lockhart, which sits in a district so red that Democrats normally don't even run. We had a clean sweep in Cy-Fair ISD, another deeply red area that not even Greg Abbott could save your party.

-> In SD-9, another red district, we saw an 8 point shift for the Democrat

-> Eileen Higgins elected as first Democratic mayor of Miami in three decades

"Millions of Americans" have no idea what you're talking about Clown.

For most Americans, it is a Democrat versus a Republican.

'Tis clear you prefer the Republican ... more self-righteous for your comfort, nes pas?

#29 You should take your beef walk outside, as the phrase indicates.

You're welcome, Left Hind Turds.

#28 All of a sudden, it becomes crystal clear ...

Left Hind Turds is a Resting Douche Face

It's similar to resting bitch face, but instead of looking bitchy"your face looks like a douchecanoe. It's the resting face equivalent of a pop-collared frat dude named Thad. This face may be accompanied by a sideways baseball hat, because turning your cap sideways is just cranking the douchenozzle.

Much like resting bitch face, you don't have to be a douche to have RDF. You could be a nice person, who just happens to have the resting face equivalent of a finance bro on the 3rd hole of a golf course.

"Some people have a problem with the word douche, because it's turning a feminine hygiene product into an insult. But the vagina is a self-cleaning oven that doesn't need a douche. And the world doesn't need douchbags, so I consider it apropos.

I report, you decide

#1 The "important" people don't care about active shooters anymore...

... not that they ever did.

#65 Should have kept your ignorant mouth shut, bj boi ...

1. HIPAA Privacy Rule exceptions (specifically related to permitted uses and disclosures of PHI)

Daniel J. Daly: A Marine who received the Medal of Honor twice

The Medal of Honor is the United States' highest award for military valor in action. And while over 150 years have passed since its inception, the meaning behind the Medal has never tarnished.

Piggy landed in a plane in Iraq.

Piggy is disgusting in countless ways.

But this is a singular vile act.

This belittles the sacrifices, sacrifices often ending in death, of those who chose to defend their country.

Any normal human being would respond with reverence and humility.

But, no, not our President.

Just another spit in the face of our country.

This man cannot die soon enough and rid the world of his stink.

The vid is actually quite well done; it starts out briefly hitting China's massive Surveillance and Control of the Population program, and their shipping it to the US via Tic Toc... then quoting Musk and other AI types on the dangers of AI.

I've done everything but watch the 15 min video for you.

Of course, some people are afraid of new information, and that's... not really understandable.
