I LOL'd at "I take insignificant things and I discuss them as if they are significant and I believe that exploring the significance of the insignificant is in itself significant."

Whoever put that together was channeling Kamala.

I'm hopeful that Republicans run some ads about Kamala's opinions on Catholics. Back in 2018ish, she all but said a judicial nominee was unqualified to sit on the bench because he was a member of the Knights of Columbus.
That could backfire given some of the recent rulings handed down by the court along with some of the statements made by various justices during the confirmation process.

Would be pretty easy to deflect and redirect the conversation to then focus on those decisions and make it all about Roe v Wade and personal freedom.

What statements?

Here’s why JD is a crappy politician — you can do the *exact same thing* but say it’s “larger tax credits for people with children” and it would be popular / inoffensive.

Instead he phrases it as “more taxes for this group of people.” Easy to attack, gets you no votes.

Does he wear eyeliner?

In head shots he always kinda looks like a bass player from an early 2000’s emo band.

If I’m remembering correctly the three Trump appointees stated Roe was “settled” law or something along those lines during their confirmations.

One could draw a clear distinction between say Sotomayor (who is Catholic) and the other justices who are Catholic. Make it about extreme positions or issues like abortion and not religion per se.

I would need precise statements. But all law is settled until it isn't. Precedent changes. Cases are overturned. Anytime senators ask nominees about specific cases (to see if they will affirm later challenges) I cringe.

Sotomayor acknowledged Heller in her hearing and sought to overturn it within a year or two. That's how it goes.

Are you disagreeing with what was said or hating on the eyeliner? I would think your side would applaud and vote for an emo man wearing eyeliner, pick a side, lol.

I don’t disagree with him and we already “reward” and incentivize having kids and families. I would support supporting it even more.

I would stick to climate extremism, border failure, equal outcomes ideology, banning fossil fuels, abolishing ICE, banning employer-based healthcare, and forced gun buybacks. None of these are >50% viewpoints. Drive them into the ground between now and November. Just like this.

This is a funny post. I've wondered the same. I am guessing he doesn't but who knows.

One of my buddy's had super thick and long eyelashes. We gave him grief. The girls all wanted to know his secret.

Dude could be in Fallout Boy or Green Day or something lol

I think the top of the GOP ticket wears more makeup than a KISS cover band. The Dems’ candidate also wears eyeliner. 😉

Speaking of makeup, I saw this guy making rounds yesterday. He's a satirist on Tiktok, but apparently he has people on both sides of the aisle fooled. People on the right calling him Jussie Smollett, people on the left saying "MAGA is violent! etc etc." Sad.

I’m just making observations and asking the hard hitting questions Mike Wallace style. Lol.

Anyhow, I don’t hate the eyeliner per se. More that I hate emo for the most part I guess.

I’m more partial to the edgier/more rocknroll eyeliner and or makeup crowd like Darkthrone, Twisted Sister, Ny Dolls and Turbonegro.

If makeup is their biggest complaint, we're doing OK.



John Edwards...

This can’t be good for Trump

“Giles argued that President Biden and Harris have delivered for Arizona, pointing to infrastructure investments and new jobs, while Trump turned away from immigration reforms.”

Delivered a whole lot of illegal immigrants, for sure. This guy is no conservative. Whatever gets you excited.

This whole "JD Vance and Donald Trump are weird" messaging campaign that the left and their media are running on is weird when you consider the social beliefs of the DNC are ostensibly weird to the majority of Americans. Unless you consider segregating people based on sex and race for political fundraisers to be a normal thing to do
