    This shit can’t be real, it’s like we’ve been living in some shitty reality TV show for the past 8 years.

      It started decades ago, just now it’s more obvious. Like cartoonishly obvious, because there are no consequences.

        I was born in 85 and I don’t remember it ever being this bad. The whole thing with Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky was a circus but that only lasted for like a year or two. GWB was just constantly made fun of for being a idiot, I don’t really remember Obama doing anything worth lampooning.

          Right, it was never this bad. But if you go back just to Obama, look at the rights response to his very existence. Questioning his birth certificate. Then one day he wore the wrong color suit. He wore like a tan suit or something and everyone shit a brick. It’s always been there, underlying. Just now it’s so much more blatant.

    Not head of ‘election integrity’, they’re the subject matter expert on election integrity, working to destroy all election integrity for the benefit of the RNC.

    Like if Sony had a head of piracy. They wouldn’t be a pirate, but they’d know about pirates, and would be working to destroy, imprison, and fight actual digital pirates. For the benefit of Sony.

        Pretty much this. They realized that all they have to do is say they won, and get enough people to either earnestly believe it, or at least go along with it. Then, you can challenge literally anything the winning legislation does, regardless. You can say “well our election integrity committee found that blah blah blah mail-in ballots” or whatever - this is what they did in 2020 with the “suitcases full of fake ballots” thing in Arizona.

      I guess someone has to be the one to make the absolute dog shit comment in the thread.

      She looks like something that shambles out to protect the temple when one of the adventurers makes a loud noise and awakens it. Like her mouth can unhinge and open wide without limit like a snake, and her shriveled fingers do cold damage when they touch you, all while her eyes have that exact same unchanging lack of emotion like in the photo.

          I’m not trying to tell you right or wrong about your opinion, just to me, totally independent of her political views her face has the look of insanity and death about it. IDK, maybe I am letting the story color my view but that is my assessment

            I can see that. I knew a chick with her general look a long time ago and she was flat out gorgeous. I think she just reminds me of her big time.

              Yeah that’ll happen. I still get my heart thumping sometimes looking at some girl that just looks vaguely similar to some person that I knew
