Cheers, no idea what intersex is and not going to Google at work. Still needs a new name though as while I get everyone needs represented just sticking a new letter on the end is getting ridiculous.

It means biologically non-binary. Different chromosomes, atypical genitals (both sets, or something like internal testes, etc)

Also, it was my understanding that the kids are using queer to basically mean bi now? Or I'm out of touch.
Edit - yes I am. It's basically anything other than cis hetero. Which is pretty vague.

Yeah it's getting too long now. I just stick with LGBT. At some point, adding more is diminishing returns.

Queer really just identifies that sexuality is a broad and mutable spectrum. Also a reclamation of what was previously a derogatory term.

When it goes past 13 letters the name could switch to all the ones it isn't, with a minus sign at the start, and then start taking them away, until it's just '-H' .

Still free on appeal

His appeal doesn’t stand much of a chance. His gamble was to try to delay it long enough to get a GOP President who would pardon him, but by all accounts they’re going to speed through the appeal in record time.

He'll have to sober up in there, with potentially the unfortunate side effect of prolonging his life

Early voting is looking not so great for Dems. Not as terrible as forecast but still not great. The challenge here though is the Dem strategy was to campaign for the more extreme GQPers during the primaries, with the logic they’d be easier to beat. So they may lose less than forecast, but end up filling those losses with batshit insane Congressmen. It was a risky gamble that I’m not sure is going to pay off long term.

You can't really beat the crazy ones because their base already balls deep into the insanity. They don't even care if they're absolute monsters who are thick as shit as per Herschel Walker. The big R comes before anything, even logic.

The gamble was that the crazy ones enact undertow voting, where moderate Rs secretly vote D, but:
A) if it doesn’t pay off we’re left with proper crazy people in places where they can directly impact future elections
And
B) if it pays off it’ll just add fuel to the fire that elections are stolen, because early polls go off voter registration.
It was always going to be a tough midterm but this is quite a lose lose situation.

Boringly the Democrats started doing well when the economy turned earlier in the year, it's now turning back the other way. Rather than anything else.

It does also weaken their (valid) arguments about election deniers and whatnot being a threat to democracy. "This person is crazy and dangerous! But also you guys should totally put them up in the general election, so we can win more easily" |

It beggars belief that this was viewed as some sort of valid tactic when the likes of MTG, Boebert, Gaetz, that Texas Governor cunt, Cruz, De Santis etc. are already in office and being absolutely "here's my bumhole" insane all over the shop without, apparently, any sort of backlash outside of twitter

Allegedly MTG is being touted as a running mate for Trump in 2024. It’s definitely a doomsday scenario right there.

I hope he does pick her
His eventual loss will be even larger. MTG might make the dribblers remember what it was like to get hard, but she’s a massive turn off for anyone else
I also hope she runs as the dirt digging that will result of her running at that level oughts to be fantastic.

Trump isn't running, he knows it'll give him no relief from the avalanche of litigation he's already under and he's afraid he's going to lose again, which he absolutely will.

That one is a bit of a weird one. Temporary stays on these decisions prior to being evaluated by the full court are routine and almost always expected, so from a process and legal viewpoint it’s administrative business as usual - Clarence is responsible for claims coming from that circuit so he got it by default. It’s just an optics issue as arguably he could/should have recused himself from it and handed it over to a difference scotus justice. It’ll be a more broader issue if the full court decides to uphold the appeal, but for now it’s really just serving as a talking point.

It almost feels wrong to call the guy a nut job. The political discourse over there has become so overblown and toxic that this kind of thing can now be expected. It's not some random, inexplicable act. The attacker can simply point to Fox News and Tucker Carlson and claim to have been completely morally justified.

Lots of people with Bible verses on their profiles absolutely gleeful about the attack on local news pages yesterday. Today they will be decrying vicious democrats for saying mean things about conservatives, such as how bloodthirsty many of them are
Really, we’ve had multiple social media platforms released to allow the cunts in society to talk vile among each other. How’s about one that has algorithms that push puppies and rainbows and unicorns and civility?
