Supposedly Portland has something going on today for the first time in a week. I checked the air quality index and the fires shouldn't be a problem. Starts in half an hour.

It's not like I had anything planned this weekend anyway. Brb, going to the store for popcorn.

My most sincere apologies, I'm not a racist biologist so I'm bad at telling the species, I meant to say racist ELK statues.

I see, it was something vandalized. Fuck, elk are one of my favorite animals and that was a nice statue. These people ruin everything. (well, it was cleaned and is in storage for safekeeping now but still).

"I wasn't going to bother voting for Biden because they fucked over Bernie twice but we can't let Trump destroy the court."

It puts the left in a stronger position. They just solved their enthusiasm gap problems and all they had to do is hold off announcing her death until the right time.

Maybe, but then again, both sides are out for blood. I would worry about it swaying back dems who were switching because they were upset about the riots. Then again, if he gets the appointment in before the election, that ship will already have sailed. They might want to leave some dem power in some branch, but will it be the president? I'm not sure. Everything's gotten a lot more interesting, and this season of reality was already off the rails.

My avatar is the replacement for the old, racist deer statue. There was an Elk statue on a fountain in Portland, but the BLM rioters destroyed it. Well, they damaged the statue and it was removed, but they destroyed the whole fountain where it had stood for 100 years.

I really don't understand why everyone thinks you can't nominate someone because it is an election year. If Trump loses, he doesn't even leave office until January. It's not like he will physically leave the WH in November if he loses. Plus, why wouldn't you want to make sure you got someone you approve of on the bench while you still can? If Dems and Repubs are indeed mortal enemies, why would you ever let your enemy be in control of filling such an important position?

If Dems are willing to burn everything down to get a shot at stacking the supreme court, what makes them thinks that Repubs aren't equally as willing to do the same thing? Imagine if someone said "Dems better let us replace RGB with our pick or we'll burn the place down". I don't think Dems would be okay with that kind of language.

Threatening/employing violence if you don't get your desired political outcome is pretty much the definition of terrorism.

What's her message here (besides the obvious)? Is she an RGB hater? Because if not it seems rather disrespectful and all.

I see the news article plastered all over now. Still waiting on the freakout from the really radical left people I know. They never disappoint me.

She's mad RBG died so the Senate Republicans can nominate a conservative judge. She said fuck you to RBG for not retiring under Obama so I assumed that if RBG were to retire under Obama in 2016, the Democrat-controlled Senate can nominate a liberal judge and none of this would be happening. But it happened anyway. And my god is it glorious.

It's the first I've seen of the wheat emoji thing, but I don't spend a lot of time on social media -- so I'm always out of the loop.

The wheat emoji just makes me think of biblical passages about separating the wheat from the chaff. According the bible, God likes wheat -- so, I'm okay with the wheat emoji. I give it like 2 weeks before wheat becomes an alt+right hate emoji, though.

Isn't the passage about that, about Satan descending from the heavens, and sorting the righteous from the wicked, and it being referred to as "they shall sift thee as wheat"?

If they get to use that, can we use a picture of a raccoon or something??

Let's all take a moment to think of the cancer devouring her and how it's finally at peace. It did it's job well. As they said in Chernobyl, "Comrade Soldier, you are done".


RIP Comrade Cancer.

I believe they're still under the impression that those on the right have some kind of "gentleman's agreement" deal going on still, and a few months ago, they were correct. The leftists would kick you in the balls, bite your ear, spit in your face and laugh about it, but if the right struck back in a similar fashion, it's always "THIS IS ABSOLUTELY SHAMEFUL, THESE RIGHT-WINGERS HAVE NO DECORUM OR MORALS!"

They might still be partially correct. Some on the right are still very much dedicated to that whole "they go low, we go high" bullshit but the riots have made an increasingly large section say fuck that bullshit, we'll hit back next time.

We've gotten to a point that openly and brazenly announcing your plans for actual terrorism on Twitter is "acceptable" to a lot of people. It really is terrorism, too. Threats, violence or implied violence to achieve political goals, intended to demoralize and brow-beat others into doing what you want. How is that really any different than Al-Qaeda saying "get your troops out of Afghanistan or we'll blow people up"? The only difference is how competent the terrorists are. When Al-Qaeda or ISIS says some shit like that, you treat it as a genuine threat because those guys are somewhat skilled in carrying out violence. When the average Twitter antifag says it, you laugh at them for being retarded.

I think its push back because after Justice Scalia died (at least the narrative was) the GOP tried to block Obama from replacing him.

I was at a mostly peaceful Trump flag wave today and the boomers are angry. Cops had to stop a dude in a Harley jacket from stomping an entire BLM protest of the event. The church blue-hair types were trying to get everyone under 50 to go start a fight.

Edit: I'm glad I'm not the only one who played "Never Come Down" after they heard the good news today. Boomers (literally) cheering the death of a Justice is freaky as all hell though.

Back in the early days, the idjits tore down a statue of a deer like the trigger happy animals they are back when tearing down statues was cool (can't remembering this was before or after someone got brained with ome during tear down). They ended up replacing it with a statue made out of crap metal (in the shape of a deer).

Just goes to show how much these people devolved. There was a point in time when that was more common.

I'm not one to celebrate when one passes like how the left did when Scalia passed, but it was coming sooner or later (I thought RGB has had a body double since January when she had a bunch of issues. Or that she was being possessed by demons).
