The quote skeet:
A Trump supporting, anti-trans, anti-gay Republican was elected commissioner of the county where I grew up. He won despite being in jail on election night for a sexual assault in Vegas.
It’s now come out that the woman he assaulted was his daughter.

I guess all the tough talk about executing pedos doesn’t refer to their own pedos.
They’re just looking for an excuse to kill Democrats…
Apparantly, I’ve talked to you too much, cause the system is yelling at me and telling me to send you a PM instead!
You know how they feel about “evidence” and “facts.” The more evidence there is against someone, the more innocent they are. The only facts are those that are unproven.

As expected, he’s nothing but spite.
I’ll never understand this recent incessant need to govern bathrooms.
Without question, they have been in a bathroom before with someone whose underwear contents differed from theirs and they were blissfully unaware as they stared into space and tinkled.
All he had to do was nothing. Pretend it was like his normal governing job.
It’s not a genuine concern, or disgusting, or whatever. It’s whipping up the passions of their followers by dehumanizing and demonizing an Other.
I know weird, right? Why can’t I keep talking to you? How many replies is too may replies? I think I’m having an existential crisis over this now!
The cruelty is the point. They absolutely know that trans women are not men pretending to be women to rape women. They just hate trans women and want to hurt them.
Yep. 
Even here in the Chicago area, most of the political messages I saw were about the border.
We’re nearly 1500 miles away from the Mexican border (because you know they aren’t talking about Canadians). Yes, we have a lot of refuges here because we offered to host them plus we had Abbott busing extras here, which was only his fault (and, again, no consequences), but that was the #1 message we heard.
It would have been nice to hear more about the progressive topics. Both sides here talked border border border immigration lost jobs all the time.
A definite “hear! hear!” for that one (posted here previously, i think) That guy comes off as properly empathetic, utterly rational, and as ‘traditional’ (for those who like that sort’ve thing) as possible. I wish that could be widely media dispersed; if for nothing else as a admonishment of sorts to the 51% of the voters who have endangered us all.
It’s almost as if some people want an issue to run on and are afraid to fix it; thinking they’ll lose support after it’s done.

A far-right, pro-Russia candidate is set for a shock victory in the first round of Romania’s presidential election, with preliminary results leaving the prime minister, his main pro-Europe rival, out of the race.
Almost all of those numbers seem absolutely nuts to me. Like, “do people even know what a percentage is” level irrational. I realize those are averaged, but that just means everyone with a reasonable guess was balanced out by people with even higher estimates, which only feels more inexplicable to me. Is it possible that whatever method they used to make it a weighted average rather than a regular average is throwing off the accuracy? Whatever ignorant ideas people have about minorities, I have a hard time imagining anyone really thinks one out of every five Americans is a millionaire.
Yeah, it’s wild. 40% veterans? 27% Muslim? 30% live in NYC? Each one of those percentages makes absolutely no sense if you think about it for even half a second.
