A New Politics Thread

[Geowhizzer]

So... my county has proposed to become a "Bill of Rights Sanctuary."

The ordinance:

Collier County has the right to be free from the commanding hand of the federal government and has the right to refuse to cooperate with federal government officials in response to unconstitutional federal government measures and to proclaim a Bill of Rights sanctuary.

In 2020, 62% of votes in Collier County went to Trump.

[General_Failure]

Can't a man be insecure about his wrinkly orange neck folds and all the pictures of him mocking other people that make it look like he has no chin? So much for the tolerant left.

[Geowhizzer]

That picture looks like AI to me for some reason.

This story matters more than most.

Sorry, I sub to WaPo.  You'll have to find your own way around the paywall.

Fox News prints outright factually incorrect shtein....does not correct it.  This is some of the most basic shtein in all of civilization.  The printing press got us out of the muf.  People who scrupulously print truths and facts are among the superheroes of humanity, and we honor them highly for it.  When a "news" organization is this egregiously incorrect and refuses to retract, admit, etc...it can't just be ignored.  If you know anyone who defends Fox news, this is an acid test:  they agree with you that Fox is anti-socially wrong in the this case, or you are talking to someone who should be excised from your world, cast out, expunged and ejected.  These people must be repudiated.  They have forsaken facts.  Their next move will be worse.  Identify them, watch, be prepared for them to do worse.

not the retraction that it ought to be they were forced to pull it and apologize

This guy (and Feinstein too) need to be put out to pasture.

Can't a man enjoy a remote controlled vibrating butt plug in public without everyone jumping to conclusions?
