Gas Bandit's Political Thread V: The Vampire Likes Bats

[Celt Z]

My great grandparents were 96 and almost 100 when they died, and they looked almost 20 years younger than McConnell. But when you spend so much of your time being an absolute ghoul, I guess you start to look the part.

Hope Klannie Oakley is ready to get up and leave her work meeting to drive to her kid's school every single time one of her rancid crotchfruit skins their knee on the playground. Oh you want the school nurse to do that? But "healthcare has no place in public schools"

"You cannot have a situation where you're closing libraries for some schools in certain neighborhoods and there are other neighborhoods where there are libraries fully equipped," Turner said during Wednesday's city council meeting. "What the hell are you doing?"

Oh, I think they know exactly what they are doing.

Three words. About. Fucking. Time.

Is there anything to this other than, “Can no longer be hushed up by superiors?”

Yes, it completely takes the "we investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing" out of the equation. Now he needs to do police actions.

According the the Twitter X whateverIDGAF fact check under his ...is this a Tweet anymore?-He's about 465 days too early to request this. But when is honesty or accuracy a factor in politics anymore?

The facts don't matter. 1488 is a racist and nazi dogwhistle.

Yes, it's not about accuracy, it's about the fact he snuck in 1488, which is a well known neo-nazi "dogwhistle" that white supremacists' use to find each other. Either he thought he was being super clever, or he just does not care and openly wants people to know he thought Hitler had the right idea.

 

[Krisken]

He's a piece of shit alright.

 

[PatrThom]

It says something about him that this wasn't put in the Milkshake Duck thread since there wasn't really anybody out there who thought of him as a pre-reveal MD anyway.

To be a milkshake duck, you have to first cultivate the impression you're not a piece of shit.

This guy's been a piece of shit from day one.

 

[PatrThom]

That’s what I thought I said!

[Krisken]

Yeah, it usually involves a heel turn at some point.

RFK Jr has always sucked.

 

[GasBandit]

JFK Jr has always sucked.

I mean, JFK Jr wasn't exactly a saint and his hubris did get himself and his wife and SIL killed, but at least he wasn't making nazi dogwhistles.

And his rally was indoors.

I just assume this is the equivalent of all the misspellings and other errors you get in those Nigerian prince emails, deliberately placed there so as to weed out the people who would be too smart to fall for it anyway.

Brain Drain in Florida

It's no surprise that professors are starting to leave after DeSantis and his goons spent the past year riling up their white trash voters against educators. Speaking as a history professor, I wouldn't want to teach at a Florida university. At the very least I'd have to sacrifice my professional integrity.

Desantis defeats Disney! By turning Florida into leper colony.

What a surprise so could have seen this coming?! (/s if not obvious)

Senator is a statewide election. He’s in there because a majority of Kentucky keeps on voting him in.

It's bizarre because Kentucky's Governor is a Democrat, elected in 2019, and before that he was Attorney General (elected in 2015).

So CLEARLY a majority of KY voters demonstrably CAN and HAVE voted Democrat. But mysteriously, that never seems to happen for Mitch's Senate seat.

Well a majority of KY voters on an off off year election cycle which can’t possibly be the majority of KY voters.

Also don’t think it’s overly mysterious that McConnell would be able to marshal significantly more resources for his re-elections than somebody with the name Blevins.
