Implanting Bill Gates's Micro-chips In Brains For Over 20 Years!

My gripe about populists supporting Fetterman is he attracted a lot of the dim voters. People for whom residence is most important, and "lookin' like us." I'm more annoyed that the Commonwealth is so provincial, so parochial, than I am at Fetterman. He actually ran brilliant campaigns to position himself to beat Conor Lamb in the primary and then to beat Oz in the general.

Trump courted the same populists in 2016. Grabbed the "You can have a beer with me, and I'll bring your jobs back" vote.

The thing is, Oz is a snake oil salesman prone to weirdness of the right wing kind.

As to your thoughts Fetterman, look, we need to get dim voters as well as smart voters. Every vote is equal. If winning elections means, oh, golly, we even had dim voters supporting us, I'm on board. Republicans have made an art of chasing the dim vote, to the point where they now are overwhelmed with dim candidates.

My biggest disappointment this cycle is that instead of losing and riding off into the sunset on Lenny Dykstra, Boebert looks like she will go back to congress and continue to bring the IQ of the whole institution measurably down.

Yawn. Damn, that was a nice nap.

Hey, did we ever get a definitive answer on whether the Regis (solid color shirt with same color tie) was acceptable or not?

If he wasn't out there pushing the Big Lie and supporting the January 6 crowd, he's a moderate in this Republican Party.

It’s 2022. Mansplaining what Regis means? Really? Necessary because PLF is from Minnesota, and Sebby is from Pa and Ty is, well, Ty?


Hmmm. No, you know what, we need you back. I can’t fight their collective ignorant anymore on my own. Start with PLF and why wearing bike shorts on Zoom calls does require being mindful of camera angles?

Oz is a total huckster, but I don't think he's sincerely right wing. (I think Oz was an odd pick for Trump. He claims Melania suggested Oz. McCormick would've beaten Fetterman. Trump will withhold sex from Melania as punishment, cruel bastard that he is.)

I think I just have to come to terms with the fact that PA is a dim Commonwealth, and Oz and Fetterman might reflect exactly its voting public.

A thin GOP majority in the House is the worst of all possible worlds. The nutjobs get to play the Sinema/Manchin roles.

It's coming back, I tell you! Coming back! Just give it time.

Interesting story in the NYT this morning, election deniers held down R turnout; as in what’s the point of voting?

That is correct. Rejection of (or just not addressing) election denialism is the low bar for moderate right now.

But I also don't think any sane, competent medical professional (he has done loads of heart transplants and run a corporation/brand for some time) is able to actually tow a pro-life line. He couldn't agree on any federal prohibition during the debate or campaign and punted with the "leave it to the states" line. Which is easy for him, as PA is never going to outlaw or restrict the procedure.

I worry more about coordinating my tee shirts and fleece.

Yes. They read old school paper newspapers during Fox commercials.

I've become what I once loathed: Jeans and sportcoat guy.

The Post is the Walter Cronkite of conservative America. The sting of being treated that dismissively by it must have Trump in full on meltdown. Even worse, he knows Rupert is laughing to himself, "Well, that useful idiot served his purpose and then some. Lotta value there, for bargain basement effort."
