  • Hey, what do I know?

    I thought growing up in a place that’s voted >90% Republican (with the exception of 08 Obama) populated exclusively by different flavors of Christians would give me unique insight into how much the Republican base would care the wrong title was used.

    Which is not at all because everyone uses their own title because it’s confusing as fuck and no one has ever given a single fuck.

    But apparently I was wrong, because it’s obviously not people down voting what they don’t want to hear, that would never happen.

    It’s kind of bad…

    A 20 year old and someone about to graduate is one thing.

    But she’s got another year after this year still.

    It might be legal depending on state due to Romeo and Juliet laws, but it’s still creepy to be 20 years old and picking up girls (literal, non adult girls) on the internet.

    Also they’re “just friends” but he can’t stop thinking of more?

    It’s fucking creepy, even if OP “just” continues grooming her till she’s 18

    I mean, Clinton just happened to be the ass in the seat when the Dotcom boom hit…

    Every economic action he took led us to today’s shit show, especially campaign finance reform

    And Biden was the ass in the seat after COVID.

    Stop acting like people who actively and quantifiably worse were great just because their poor policy wasn’t bad enough to stop things they had zero control over.

    Blind worship is for Republicans



  • Depends what you call Christian music

    NF got pretty big for a while, and pretty sure he never swore because of his religion and talked often about Christianity and his faith while promoting the Christian beliefs that are actually in the Bible and admitting his own struggles and overcoming them thru faith and hard work.

    That is Christian music to me.

    I mean, it’s not even really debatable, he’s signed to a label exclusively for Christian musical acts.

    But music that is explicitly all about Jesus is usually just cashgrabs with zero meaning behind it. It’s playing to the low denominator for things where “safe” is the most important part of music.

    So, TLDR:

    NF


  • It seems to be an issue with the DNC

    And the DNC chair resigned and was immediately rewarded with a spot on Hillary’s campaign…

    That’s the whole problem. The DNC and Hillary’s campaign was the same people.

    They were left vulnerable to financial influence because they were in debt from Obama.

    Obama neglected the DNC because in 08 they worked against him in the primary and abandoned him in the general… Because he didn’t name a chair as president after the general, Hillary’s people held onto the reigns.

    But Obama didn’t put the DNC into debt, that DNC choose to play favorites and when their favorite (Hillary) lost they didn’t support the candidate.

    The DNC went bankrupt betting the house on Hillary.

    She probably knew this as his VP and was able to use money to get assistance being the nomination.

    Do…

    Do you think Hillary was Obama’s VP?

    But god, is that fucking annoying that the political parties are just companies that can be bought.

    As of two months ago the neoliberals have been kicked out of DNC leadership, the new chair used to run Minnesota State Dem party and has a very strong track record.

    It’s great you’re asking questions though, and the silver lining is we already won the fight of the party. Shit was fucked at the dnc for decades, now it isn’t.

    So whatever you do, don’t start working against the current dnc because of what was done more than 2 months ago.

    So

    Does it make sense why so many Dem voters hate Hillary now?



  • New dnc chair:

    Hillary funding the dnc and requiring approval of dnc press releases and actions:

    Officials from Hillary’s campaign had taken a look at the DNC’s books. Obama left the party $24 million in debt—$15 million in bank debt and more than $8 million owed to vendors after the 2012 campaign—and had been paying that off very slowly. Obama’s campaign was not scheduled to pay it off until 2016. Hillary for America (the campaign) and the Hillary Victory Fund (its joint fundraising vehicle with the DNC) had taken care of 80 percent of the remaining debt in 2016, about $10 million, and had placed the party on an allowance.

    And

    The agreement—signed by Amy Dacey, the former CEO of the DNC, and Robby Mook with a copy to Marc Elias—specified that in exchange for raising money and investing in the DNC, Hillary would control the party’s finances, strategy, and all the money raised. Her campaign had the right of refusal of who would be the party communications director, and it would make final decisions on all the other staff. The DNC also was required to consult with the campaign about all other staffing, budgeting, data, analytics, and mailings.

    https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/11/02/clinton-brazile-hacks-2016-215774/

    But I recommend everyone read the whole thing because it even gets into how the “victory fund” bankrupted state parties leading to Republicans controlling the House today:

    Yet the states kept less than half of 1 percent of the $82 million they had amassed from the extravagant fund-raisers Hillary’s campaign was holding, just as Gary had described to me when he and I talked in August. When the Politico story described this arrangement as “essentially … money laundering” for the Clinton campaign, Hillary’s people were outraged at being accused of doing something shady. Bernie’s people were angry for their own reasons, saying this was part of a calculated strategy to throw the nomination to Hillary.
