This one’s pretty stupid:

@Alabama: y’all are embarrassing the rest of us.
They’re trying to get the title back from Florida.
Hell, I live there; I really expected better from the folks around here, lots of professional and military people from all over the country have moved here for work, wouldn’t call it ‘progressive’ but I expected better than a ‘Rural-South’ knee-jerk. Hopefully it was a FUBAR by some clerk and will be corrected instead of doubling-down.
But geez, trying to defend this place sometimes…
My experience is the same as @Stratocaster .
I think the legacy of a dysfunctional family is not so much that you think (intellectually) that it’s normal (at least not past early childhood), but that your ingrained experience of relating to close family in a dysfunctional way means that it feels normal in the sense of “what I expect emotionally”, and it makes it challenging to learn to relate to people in a healthy way.
Next on the “save our children” agenda:
Ban transatlantic flights, stop letting the European perverts into America.
Ban the nonbinary number system that is taught in the liberal curriculum from early grade school. Per God there are only two numbers, male and female (and the Bible tells us who gets to be number one).
Ban cross dressing.
(The last one might work.)
I’m not sure that’s true. I don’t know that I’d say my family was dysfunctional, but as I grow older, I learn more ways that we differed from other families. A friend of mine (someone I met on the Dope, in fact) described a trip she took with her parents to visit colleges while she was in high school. I remember thinking “parents actually do that with their kids? I thought that only happened in movies.”
I was hoping to get a zombie flash mob together, with somebody playing “Thriller” on the boombox.
Community Notes is just about the only good thing left about Twitter these days.
In these times of international crisis, Donald Trump is focused on the things that matter, like how Forbes magazine is conspiring with China, Letitia James, and Rosie O’Donnell to make it look like Donald Trump is not very very rich.
So, Forbes is
- Irrelevant
- knows nothing about me
- fake
- antique
- dated
- discredited
- China owned
- participated in an election interference scam*
- attacked me
- has really dumb writers.
Personally, I think I’d prefer not to be on a list like that. But you do you.
*really leaning into the ‘every accusation’ thing here.
And also the basket of grapes that they sent him was sour.
And yet he desperately wants to be on their list.
What a cry-baby.
Vivek Ramaswamy says Antifa stalked him and totaled his car.
The cops say an old woman accidentally bumped into him while backing out of a deli she had stopped at for lunch.
I don’t suppose he filed a police report.
She “stopped there” for lunch but did she get lunch? Old ladies can become violently radicalized if they miss the blue plate special.
I want to know if she was wearing all black and had an anarchist symbol on her person. I bet she was the crazy, leftist, old bat.
I know it’s all comic exaggeration, but there actually seems no reason to infer from the linked article even that the woman in question was old:
I bet our intrepid candidate will never admit that his claims were wrong (or a lies.) In fact, if he follows the republican script he’ll insist it was all true, call the cops liars, and possibly dox the woman who hit his vehicle, which if I’m not mistaken was not totaled.
And it’s not like it was his vehicle. It was a rental! That’s what insurance is for.
