What the hell kind of site did you link to? > Lindell can’t seem to let go of his orange pissdaddy, Donald Trump, and it’s getting embarrassing. He’s kind of like that drunk guy you see on street corner waving his dick around. He really needs help. ---

“Orange pissdaddy” is definitely an insult I need to incorporate into my lexicon. ---

There are not many fights I’d pay to see, but I must say, Sean Hannity vs Tucker Carlson would probably be one of them. I can’t decide who I’d want to see Trump go up against. I’m stuck between wanting to see him get knocked out with one quick punch or sort of the opposite of that. ---

Trump’s in worse shape, but the force of any punches he lands will be concentrated in those tiny fists. ---

I wouldn’t want Obama to touch that ugly mass of orange with any part of his pretty self. Unless he wants to, I guess! ---

There is no indication of the politics of those who attended this party, but I think that it is reasonably clear: > [@](#): > > One man had his throat slit, another had a finger severed and a woman was choked following a fight over a blanket [https://mixmag.net/read/redneck-rave-us-violence-kentucky-festival-news](https://mixmag.net/read/redneck-rave-us-violence-kentucky-festival-news) Bonus points: > [@](#): > > Sheriff Doyle said: “The first vehicle that came through, we found meth, marijuana, and an open alcohol container, and then one of the occupants had two active warrants … We were like ‘well, this doesn’t bode well for the weekend.’” ---

Some more juice from that rave: The man who was impaled on a log drove over the piece of wood, which broke through the floorboard of his vehicle and impaled him in the abdomen. He was flown to hospital. “When it tried to come out through his back it was stopped by a steel plate behind his seat,” said Sheriff Doyle. Holy Cow. And for anyone interested: Another Redneck Rave event is planned for October, due to run across October 14 to 17 according to a [Facebook event](https://www.facebook.com/events/521556409048385?ref=newsfeed). ---

I’m involved in politics and consider myself kind of informed in the things I want to be informed about, but was surprised to learn this morning that 1988 was the last time a Republican presidential candidate won the popular vote to gain the _first_ term of their presidency. ---

[The 2010s could be the first decade when the nation’s white population registered an absolute loss.](https://www.brookings.edu/research/all-recent-us-population-growth-comes-from-people-of-color-new-census-estimates-show/) > …annual white population losses over the four years between 2016-17 and 2019-20 were 129,000; 252,000; 290,000; and 482,000. Together, this loss of more than 1 million white people outweighs the white population gains of the decade’s six earlier years, leading to a likely first-ever decade decline of the nation’s white population when the final 2020 census results are tallied… Clearly it is past time to raise the immigration limits on Norway. ---
