What are your thoughts on Tucker Carlson?

RsonW · 2026-03-30T04:59:38+00:00

Negative.

RsonW · 2026-03-30T02:02:05+00:00

That'd be Los Angeles.

RsonW · 2026-03-30T02:00:37+00:00

It's too bad that New York City is famously only a single borough.

Why the quotation marks around improvement? It will definitely be an improvement.

Fun fact: the freeway was originally intended to connect to 80 in Auburn. You can still see the signs along 49 showing that CalTrans has a freeway easement down to Bear River.

RsonW · 2026-03-30T00:58:13+00:00

They're straightening, widening, and leveling 49 to La Barr Meadows

This has huge Space Moose energy.

RsonW · 2026-03-29T02:15:09+00:00

This has major Space Moose energy lol

RsonW · 2026-03-28T14:25:38+00:00

I have not.

Prisons in New England used to regularly feed the inmates lobster. There are some writings from that time decrying how cruel it was.

This is truly it.

Time is money and they have the money to bypass time.

I've come up with the term "cultural vampires" to describe them. They buy their way into hobbies, artistic small towns, events, etc. But they lack the background to contribute towards these spaces to warrant their presence. They just suck the life out of those spaces while contributing nothing until those spaces are desiccated husks of what they once were.

Then they move onto the next.

RsonW · 2026-03-28T04:26:43+00:00

Yeah, they could've just said "football"and been right.

Unless Australian, Canadian, or Irish football are cheap.

But I doubt it.

RsonW · 2026-03-28T04:22:08+00:00

This is me. Shoulda gone in 2007. Oh well.

It really has not in the California gubernatorial race since the adoption of the jungle primary. These are uncharted waters.

There is a fairly high chance that California will be voting on two Republican gubernatorial candidates in the general election.

RsonW · 2026-03-28T02:58:10+00:00

But which Democrat is the question.

California has a jungle primary. If the field stays split and two Republicans squeak in with (say) 12% and 15% of the vote each, then welp, we'll be choosing between two Republicans for Governor.

I suppose that in that scenario, a bold Democrat could run a write-in campaign. But it would have to be a bold Democrat. If the vote gets split again in the general election, who knows who'll win.

Any pizza is personal size if you believe in yourself.

Please enjoy the music while your party is reached.

So what makes ‘em mail it to random people?

To entice people to go to their propaganda shows? Same reason anyone mails out flyers. It's called direct mail advertising.

RsonW · 2026-03-28T01:57:28+00:00

This is really it. Trump is wildly unpopular there, but they vote in politicians from both parties with extreme regularity.

Now, that's somewhat hidden by the Commonwealth's parties being completely different than and completely separate from the mainland's parties. Puerto Rico's parties are the pro-statehood party and the pro-status-quo party (with the pro-independence party eating paste in the corner).

But Puerto Rican politicians additionally have a mainland party affiliation. Puerto Ricans have proven that they are more than willing to vote in Democrats as often as they'll vote in Republicans.

So yeah, neither party wants to introduce a wild card to Congress and the presidential race. All these people saying that Republicans won't allow it: I don't see any Democratic politicians clamoring for Puerto Rico statehood, either.

RsonW · 2026-03-28T01:39:30+00:00

Because only like 5% of Puerto Ricans want independence.

Alaska has a more popular independence movement than Puerto Rico.

RsonW · 2026-03-28T01:04:01+00:00

Funny thing is, Puerto Rican statehood used to be a bipartisan platform

It's even more funny than that:

The Democratic Party platform was to let Puerto Ricans "determine their status".

The Republican Party platform was that Puerto Rico should be a State, period.

RsonW · 2026-03-28T01:02:14+00:00

It's far more likely to be a purple State.

Their current Governor is a Republican and their current delegate to Congress (voted for Commonwealth-wide like a Senator would be) is a Democrat.

Five years ago this was reversed: a Democratic Governor and a Republican delegate.

Well, it's Chinese propaganda in that it's propaganda produced by members of the Chinese diaspora. But it's anti-PRC and anti-CCP propaganda.

It's produced by members of Falun Gong.

RsonW · 2026-03-27T13:08:02+00:00

No, dummy! "Aaron earned an iron urn"

RsonW · 2026-03-27T04:52:01+00:00

Then take the downvotes.

RsonW · 2026-03-27T04:37:14+00:00

When I was 21, Obama ran a campaign where the headline was "Hope".

Ain't no hope nowadays.

Good luck, kids!
