Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect -Frank Wilhoit

Aw shit. My kid is constantly on Tumblr :/

JD Vance is from Ohio, he’s not a Southern.

These are the folks that don’t understand King Midas is a cautionary tale.

Some things -and I know this is wild- do not need to be profitable! Courts, fire departments, schools… There are segments of a functioning society that have nothing to do with making money! I know it sounds Cuckoo bananas and like some woke Marxist shit but those beloved Founding Fathers they talk about on Fox News wrote about weird ideas like “Common Defense” and “General Welfare” and “Pursuit of Happiness” Not so much on profitability.

Ah yes, it’s the Democratic party at fault that the Republican party while they still had a veto proof majority ram thru changes.

So many people seem to forget Obama nominated him for the open Supreme Court seat because he hoped he was so the GOP wouldn’t block his nomination.

It keeps getting reported he voted for Trump but unless he was registered to vote in another state he did not vote in 2016 or 2020. Imagine a guy making claims on social media that were untrue.

He is registered Unaffiliated in NC but did vote in the Democratic primary in March but for all we know it was a protest vote against Biden.

We do know he was coo-coo bananas and should not have had access to firearms.

All I can say is Ryan Wesley Routh of Guilford County NC born 1966 did not vote in NC in 2016 or 2020. https://vt.ncsbe.gov/RegLkup Maybe he voted in another state or just as likely is just a nut bar that says things that don’t match reality.

According to NC voter rolls he did not vote in 2016 or 2020. Voted in the Democratic primary in March but social media post were all over the place. Unwell mind

According to the NC voter rolls he was registered unaffiliated. Voted in the Democratic primary in March. Voted in The general election in 2008 & 12 but not in 2016 or 2020. Garden variety nut bar

Would be interesting to see how the map compares to abortion restrictions

Small government seems to find it’s way between folks & their Dr

First sit down interview should have been on Hot Ones.

They better make a decision pretty quickly - I know here in NC absentee ballots get sent out early September.

NC governor is a Democrat (and was on Harris’s short list for VP)

While the legislature is Republican run our AG & Secretary of State are both Democrats and it will be quite difficult for Republicans to gum up the election I’m sure they will try though

You are correct, he didn’t want to talk about economic plans but his advisors are begging him to give them something to try and change the narrative because he is sinking bigly. The crowd there was maybe 2k tops but they (the professionals running his campaign) need sound bites and clips of him looking if not Presidential, at least coherent for the nightly news. But of course Trump can’t stay on message so he keeps slipping further in the polls and will be blaming everyone around him and attacks those trying to help him get back to the White House.

You love to see it.

The goal is not only to support the Harris campaign but also to raise the visibility of Mastodon including possibly an official Harris for President presence there. I believe the fundraiser has already convinced ACTBlue to include a share on Mastodon link.
