The guys of Alternet and the Philadelphia Inquirer really suffers from TDS.


The Philadelphia Inquirer Editorial Board this weekend published an op-ed that includes a list of debate questions the editors say is the only possible way for the moderators "to hold [Donald] Trump accountable."
"Given hisappalling record, Trump has no business being on a presidential debate stage, let alone one in the shadows of Independence Hall," but since the debate against 2024 Democratic nominee Kamala Harris is two days away, and "roughly two months to go in what is expected to be a close election, voters need the media and debate moderators to treat Trump as the serious threat he is to the future of the country and the free world," the board writes.

I mean this is insane. The Democrats are literally going on about how the big corps all love them now. The switch from dems being for 'working class' to 'big corp supporters' was almost overnight when most of the corps when woke around 10 years ago.

They have been so mask off in this year alone to a shocking degree. They have trampled over every principle the DNC was founded under. It's been quite the sight.

Demanding more options in an open election is an ego? Being tired of partisan bullshit where both sides happily throw you under the bus to make a few extra dollars is an ego? Expecting your representatives to represent you is a selfish thing now?

I’m sorry you still have the establishment cock in your mouth. don’t get mad at me that I don’t. You sound just like the losers at college who said I wasn’t voting in my best interests and looked uneducated for not voting Clinton.

I’m glad you don’t have a sister since you apparently would only think of her as a sex object, freak.

Is "Harris Wins" an ironic account? Sounds like a pretty big L to me if you admit you're the preferred choice of rich megacorp CEOs.

Although we've known this for almost a decade now, it makes me wonder more of the details of how corporations turned Trump into Super Democracy-Slayer Hitler 9000. I understand they couldn't use the "fear sells" thing for the right wing because Fox News and Rush Limbaugh had that market locked down (plus it wouldn't be politically correct given the truths you'd need to tell about Obama), but surely someone had to think "is it really a good idea to make our political team fearful and insane?" Even tobacco companies had executives who thought the marketing and additives they put in cigarettes went too far, so you'd think SOMEBODY had to say "nah, let's not."

You realize that to be a blind lawyer takes a fuck ton of money right? You are not going to read a braille transcript of a law text book. Text to braille is like a 20x expansion. He grew up in the 70’s, he likely had someone read shit for him and then he memorized it that way.

@AnOminous was a lawyer, I don’t know when, but Daredevil is some bullshit. Without access to technology of the last 20 years a blind guy would never become a lawyer unless they were blinded during the end of their education. Computers have made that shit a lot easier as has text-to-speech.
But AnOminous could probably spell out the difficulties if he thought about it.

These days there are a lot more options besides just text-to-speech, the blind community has specialized computer operating systems and 'refresh-able braille displays' that use little movable braille posts to create a tactile monitor to access the electronic files. They aren't cheap, but with this specialized technology a 100% blind person can access all kinds of digital resources and the internet pretty easily, albeit typically with special compatible files/websites/modes. Until cybereyes are a thing, these systems are pretty fucking cool and the top of the line in sightless technology.

There could be someone on the Farms posting RIGHT NOW in braille, that is dedication to being a based shitposter.

Alabama city council meeting comes to abrupt close after questions about Haitian immigrants

A Sylacauga City Council meeting was cut short after only 20 minutes Thursday following questions from several residents about recent Haitian immigration to the area.

Council President Tiffany Nix brought the meeting to a close after several residents asked questions about how the city knew workers coming there were legal immigrants, who had determined this, and what effect they were having on crime and housing.

After three residents asked questions during the meeting, Nix brought it to a close. “I’m going to cut it off,” she said.

One resident, saying she was concerned, asked “who is heading up watching over this situation?”

Councilman Ashton Fowler said the first he was aware of immigrants in Sylacauga was when he saw them at church. He knows people are concerned, but immigrants can’t be watched as though they have committed a criminal act.

“We found out when everybody found out,” Fowler said.

“The first time I saw them, they came in our church. They wanted to come to Sunday School and church with us. That’s the first time I knew they were in town, and then there was three, then six, then eight. The ones at church with me are great people. They wanted to come to church, haven’t asked for a thing, worship and go home.”

Another resident asked why council members had not attempted to learn where immigrant workers are coming from on buses. Nix asked if anyone had actually seen anyone bused into town. From a video of the meeting, it did not appear anyone said they had.

“I also went by where they’re living, some of them, and they’re just sitting around there, not working,” the resident asked. “They supposedly came here to work.” Someone pointed out people work night shifts.

“I want to welcome anyone to Sylacauga that wants to come to Sylacauga,” Nix said. “If you’re here stimulating our economy, thank you. That’s how I feel about it. If people aren’t breaking the law, they’re not causing any problems, I don’t...I don’t see what the issue is.”

Another resident said, “the attitude of the council throughout this process is entirely unacceptable.”

“Do we know where the individuals we’re discussing are coming from?” he asked. “Where their point of origin is? Because you’re treating them like lawful U.S. citizens, which they are not.”

Nix jumped in at that point. “OK, so I’m going to cut it off...again, we have no reason to launch an investigation or to treat people differently because of how they look.”

“These individuals came here from Haiti,” the man said. “Haiti is a failed state. Their president was assassinated in 2021. There’s no way the State Department can vet these individuals...”

Immigrant workers have been a contentious issue in two Alabama communities this summer, with city officials in Albertville and Athens facing questions, such as the effect on crime, school overcrowding and housing.

In August, photos of Haitian immigrants in Albertville being bused to and from work at a poultry processing plant prompted questions on social media, leading to what city officials called “baseless accusations, and hurtful rhetoric.” This led to a series of community meetings and the formation of a non-profit.

Officials in both Albertville and Athens say Haitian immigrants make up a small percentage of the population, and they have seen no increase in crime since larger amounts of immigrants began arriving this year following unrest on the Caribbean island.

On Aug. 26, Sylacauga Mayor Jim Heigl released a statement saying that the city is not a “sanctuary” city and does not have any plans to “pursue that option in the future.”

“As many of you know, current Sylacauga housing would not accommodate large influxes of population whether they are immigrant or citizens,” the statement read. “Year-to-year we struggle to accommodate new teachers and the general influx of local workers to house in Sylacauga, any additional increases in population would make those accommodations even difficult to attain.”

The statement continued, “As with most tightknit small towns, new faces out among our stores and restaurants are easily identifiable. Sylacauga has recently had an influx of legal immigrants come into the area. Employment was the primary draw for these individuals when obtaining their visas for legal immigration to the area. As you go about your regular routines of living in Sylacauga, please be sure to extend our small town hospitality to these new faces.”
