Ah yes, it's definitely not Nigel who looks foolish!
Lefties furious at stunning result for @Nigel_Farage who outmanoeuvred them again by denying them the opportunity to stage stupid stunts at the count. They look extraordinarily foolish today.
Ah-ha! I knew I remembered there was another lady. I remember reading about Schumer wanting McDonald Rivet. But 4th choice yikes. No wonder she turned to be full on crazy ex girlfriend material. Damn.
Yeah, I'd still vote for him. The key thing for me is that even though I really dislike some of his political opinions he appears to have a clean personal life and that matters. Character matters. Even if I'd been 100% aligned with Platner politically he's still a piece of shit.
Do you realize how rare these types of accidents are? You're doing airborne NIMBY. Sad.

Abdul will win but none of this schizo-nonsense will happen. You sound ridiculous
That's called tax farming and was how the French monarchy funded their government under the Ancien Régime. Then came the guillotines. Just saying.
This is what the beginning of the surveillance state looks like in America
Americans in Connecticut received a bill for additional taxes on their car because cameras spotted it in a different city
A private company called Municipal Tax Service (MTS) is hired by cities to drive around and use automatic license plate readers on cars parked in different cities
It then makes connections if that car lives in that area and sends the owner a bill for new taxes on that vehicle for being in the city
The owner of this vehicle says she doesn’t live in that city, provided proof and says her car was only in a different city because her kid drives there for school
MTS didn’t care and said that the proof didn’t matter and they had to pay it. They appealed to the city, the city said they had to deal with MTS
But here’s the problem, MTS gets paid 38% commission on tax revenue they recover + $50 per vehicle billed to the owner. They made $9 million in commission in just one year from sending people additional tax bills
So this company has no incentive to ever help you and just deny you, which they did
Only after the mainstream media got involved would the city drop this one new tax bill which was false to begin with
In America we now literally have private companies driving around scamming our license plates to tax us more money
This is insanity and it needs to end
I mean, why wouldn't they? Trump is telegraphing that the war is back on after the midterms.
Maybe, she's gone so far with this it really seems like some kind of psychotic break is going on here. Not sure if AES can really make much out of her losing her marbles.

If you are a mod dem, here's why this is bad:
AES is going to claim prog strategic victory when he wins, and you should want him to have no ammo for that claim.
Everything Stevens is going is loading him up with ammunition and making his narrative bulletproof—she's hurting YOU!
I love the idea of Yglesias, one of the most disingenuous assholes on the Internet, complaining about someone's debate style. Like he tried to claim his father (who has a Wikipedia and IMDB page) isn't successful because his interlocutor couldn't name of one of his novels.

Hi Matt, this is getting a little pathetic now. 1) what you should have done is maybe not admitted to the world that you think we should be silent as innocent people are being mistreated, or that protesters of ICE shouldn’t protest ICE. Or maybe remembered that you called Sudan a genocide, but not Gaza. 2) you wrote an entire post about me and my debating style last year, and you turned up with a stack of notes to debate me but now pretend to be discovering new things or claiming to be unprepared. 3) I’m guilty of sophistry? Are you kidding me? You’re infamous for being the guy on this site who responds to almost every argument with snark or sarcasm or a rhetorical question, and you’re upset now because you belatedly realized that doesn’t work in a live, in-person interview format, with an interviewer who has read your stuff and asks follow-up questions for over an hour.
Thanks again for doing it though. I admired you for doing it. I don’t admire whatever this self-pity party from you is right now.
Why did Google go ahead and fuck up maps also of all things? I'm searching for Rona hardware and it's showing me all these Home Depots and shit too. Like, if I wanted that I'd search for just hardware. They promised us super intelligence and it's the stupidest shit imaginable.
And thus hath commenced Woke 2.0.
Wherein, we must let Republicans tell us what to do if they're disabled now.
Haley Stevens’ fiancé says he’s received backlash over his decision to vote for Mike Rogers during Fox and Friends interview
“What I see online today is a response from a Democratic Party that I thought is meant to be a big tent, that brought me into its tent because I care about disability rights issues.”
“I'm a person with a disability, I'm legally blind and I represent tens of thousands of disabled folks across the country, my law firm. 90% of what I read today is attacking me for my disability or how I look.”
All tax and spending bills have to start in the House. So, I'm not so sure about that.

I hate the term “ratfucked” in politics. It takes something beautiful that happens between two or more rats and makes it disgusting
You guys keep showing that one train station that got shut down as if that proves some kind of general thing. I think there's just way too many people moving to Johannesburg. It's the kind of thing that happens when your country starts to go urban. Same thing in NYC 100 years ago
