I do not know much about this guy, but he seems kind of like an idiot here. I would prefer not to have him in the Senate, and I hope Michigan voters prevent him from doing so.
.@AbdulElSayed says it’s ok for MEN to be in girl’s locker rooms.
Why?
“Well because they are going to find out about it on the internet anyway”
Completely unacceptable.
I was born in Texas, and have been a Cowboys fan from the moment I started watching football. It's clear that the only way this team will improve is when Jerry Jones realizes he's not a good GM and retires, or...well...dies.

So hilariously revealing to see people who built brands the past decade by pretending to think some things are bigger than party loyalty now melting down when a Democrat valued something more than party loyalty.

It’s not the he disagrees with her, or is upset about her change of heart. He goes straight to calling her “evil.” They have to make her less than human, destroy her, maybe worse.

Has there EVER been a case where Democrats choose country over party? Ever?

Checking in on how fucking nuts Matt Lewis has gone now in pursuit of shilling for Democrats
I did not watch a single football game today. The @NFL needs to find a way to rein in the referees and stop the excessive penalties. The games are simply unwatchable with all of the interference.
I left the Republican Party when Trump became the presumptive nominee in 2016. I did not vote for him that year, or in subsequent elections. I grew up in the 80s, and my memories of Trump's repeated ego-driven attempts to make himself a celebrity did not leave me with a positive opinion of him.
When he ran for president, I thought it was a publicity stunt. When he started to win in the primary, it was disappointing but not surprising - four years before, GOP voters nominated a ticket with two of the most decent men who have ever held political office, and they were destroyed in disgusting fashion by the Obama campaign and the press.
Although I understood the motivation behind support of Trump, I simply did not like or trust him enough to vote for him at the time, or in future elections. His dumpster fire of a second term has validated my misgivings. His second term is a failure. His policy choices have hurt the economy, destabilized foreign policy, and increased the political polarization that Obama kindled and Biden stirred up.
That said, I am still a libertarian-leaning conservative. I have voted for Democrats (thank you for your service, Jared Golden), but will not do so this year. I cannot understand why people who claim to be conserving conservatism and protecting constitutional norms are endorsing candidates who have promised to pursue policies that are antithetical to their purported goals.
True principles are non-partisan, and one's dedication to them should not be affected by their opinion of a single elected official.
If disdain for one politician can so profoundly change your fundamental political convictions, you should not feign outrage when people question whether you believed anything you said before your 'conversion.'
I’ll never understand how disliking Trump sends disgruntled Republicans running straight into the arms of the Democrats. I’ve criticized him for years. Never voted for him. Never voted for a Democrat, either. They don’t represent me.
Some of you have the political convictions of a cheap date. Whiny little fools.

Wanting El-Sayed to win is both anti-American and antisemitic.
Libertarians once again reminds us that they’re both spineless and useless.

My big takeaway as well. It's all BS and self-flattering logic from these people. "I am putting country over party. YOU are a sellout whore, and a fool besides!"
What an act.

They have never at any point cared about any of the neutral virtues they claim to espouse. It's just power for their side all the way down.
Haley Stevens is being called a traitor, but by reversing her endorsement of Abdul El-Sayed, she is showing exactly the kind of courage moderate Democrats once cheered, writes James Kirchick. thefp.com/p/haley-stevens-ab…

Note, once again, how much of the political damage was baked in before the Iran war began. One word: tariffs.

The biggest give away in all of this is an ethnic genocide supposedly happened and they are making jokes about it. It's now just a punchline for clapter.
Every single one of these people know that an actual genocide never happened.
Michael Che on SNL Weekend Update just said Israel’s record voter turnout is great “regardless of if you’re on the right side, or the left side, or the genocide.”
That’s not a joke. That’s a blood libel dressed up as comedy, broadcast to millions while Israelis just voted in massive numbers after years of war and terror.
This election shows a free, functioning democracy one in which had the highest Arab Muslim Israeli turnouts as well.
Calling the war in Gaza “the genocide” is the same ancient libels recycled for the camera.
Comedy stops being comedy when it launders the same false claim used to justify attacks on Jews.

Wil Wheaton is engagement-whoring, yes. But this brings to mind (yet again) that neither artists nor fans of the art have control over who finds the art meaningful, enjoyable, worthy of praise (or criticism) and so forth. Once you put something into the world creatively, it kinda becomes its own thing.
And it's not that uncommon for the person making the art to have no idea why the art has taken root in the souls of other people. Certainly Gene Roddenberry didn't understand his own creation.
And I have no doubt even if what Wheaton says is true—and isn't it convenient to put a political shout in the mouth of a dead man?—Stewart didn't understand why anyone Right-of-center would enjoy Next Generation, or his portrayal of Picard.

Who could have guessed that people who feel comfortable pushing open bigotry aimed at Jewish people are also comfortable aiming their hate at Black people…
If you're black, I have the easiest Halloween costume for you. Wrap an Israeli flag around you, and just start calling everyone you see an antisemite. Voila, you're @VanJones68.

Start trade wars and impose tariffs on allies. They stop buying our farmers’ crops. Then you import beef and piss off our ranchers. Then start and drag out a war that raises gas and diesel prices and piss off everyone else and make the farmers even more mad at harvest. Then do midterms.
