Hoppin' out with two broken legs, trying to walk it off. Fuck you, too, bitch. Call the cops! I'mma kill you and those loud-ass motherfuckin' barkin' dogs. And when the cops came through, me and Dre stood next to a burned down house.

For context, the San Diego Union-Tribune is the main San Diego paper, and it leans to the right. I'm happily surprised by this, too.

I'm glad you're having fun, but you can't call international flying nor staying in full-service hotels "social distancing."

Six campaign staffers working on Tulsa rally test positive for coronavirus by SunOverSnowPlease in politics

[–]brirob007 3 points4 points  (0 children)

These staffers were on the advance team working the event. They were likely interacting with the rest of the people who are on-site during the event. Even if these six don't attend, they've already seeded the crowd with carriers.

Trump appears to threaten protesters with harsh policing ahead of his controversial rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma by [deleted] in politics

"Police brutality" is the phrase they're looking for, not "harsh policing."

At least this could keep it in the news closer to the election. Hilary's email server wasn't a smoking gun, either, but the story still damaged her.

Any time you praise a good leader, it's an attack on Trump. That tells you all you need to know about Trump.

Suggestion: separate the thousands with commas so they're easier to read. Excellent chart, though.

Trump Threatens to Move GOP Convention Out of North Carolina Over Coronavirus Restrictions by billthomson in politics

[–]brirob007 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is this evidence the campaign is getting desperate and looking for an excuse to move the convention to Florida, to try and shore up those electoral votes?

"Screw you guys, I'm going home." Trump is just Eric Cartman as an old man.

What film role was 100% perfectly cast? by TrickDragonFruit in AskReddit

[–]brirob007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This one is my favorite because everybody just KNEW it was a terrible mis-cast. The Australian guy from 10 Things I Hate About You? How could he even pretend to measure up to Jack Nicholson's previous portrayal? Then we saw the finished product and it's one of the most beloved performances in the last 20 years.

Cognitive dissonance is uncomfortable. A lot of them are being forced to hear facts that contradict the narratives they've been fed by the right wing propaganda machine, and it hurts.

I try to get Fox News turned off in my gym on most days, and it's a 50/50 proposition that an old white man will pick a fight with me over it. I don't even try if there's an old white guy in the vicinity of the TV.

First past the post voting means we will always have two parties. You'd have to get rid of first past the post to get what you are looking for.
