That shouldn't be surprising, given his history.

Don't fucking stop. Don't listen to the polls, good or bad. Our republic depends not merely on winning, but running up the score, so that there's no doubt about who won.

And if that's not enough reason, every vote for Kamala is just 1 more Psychic damage that Trump takes after the election. He thinks everyone loves him; your vote is proof that he's wrong, and it will drive him MAD.

Vote. Vote. VOTE.

Well, shit. Now I can't unhear it.

I wouldn't either, because far too much is at stake, but anyone who takes our polling at face value is a fool.

I'm not worried about who's going to win, I'm worried about the ratfuckery that is going to happen to try to swing the result.

You're taking prisoners of the thaggoraki? A proper Dawi would just kill them all on the spot! That's going in the book!

My second saved picture is of me at a Halloween party, and ya'll don't need that. So here's a randomly chosen meme instead.

Dude, I'm scared in a way that only someone who has a history degree can be scared. We are currently in the lead-up to the next global conflict, and this time, we have the capability to destroy ourselves.

I'm seeing what is going on now, and it's the same thing that was happening in Europe in the 1920s. I've been saying that January 6 was the GOP's Munich Beer Hall Putsch. We're gonna find out in a couple weeks if we're gonna let the new fascists gain power like Hitler did in the 30s.

As parents, my husband and I have sole responsibility to decide how and when our children learn about the Bible and religious teachings

I'm actually surprised this is the first time I've heard this argument, because there's a lot of parents who don't necessarily object to teaching the Bible in school, but are concerned that the way it's being taught in school differs from how it's taught at home. A Catholic would naturally have a problem with Protestant teachings in school, not to mention all of the different Protestant denominations.

I think, ultimately, that denominational infighting is what's going to sink this.

While this isn't surprising, Green Forest in particular is a case where I'd be shocked if it wasn't happening. I grew up in the area, and I'd say that half of the town are immigrants and the Tyson plant employs twice as many people than the rest of the town combined. Lots of poor families who are struggling to make ends meet would definitely be desperate enough to send their kids to work there.

It's bad everywhere, but that plant in Green Forest is a particularly egregious case.

When I was in college, I found a hand-bound report from the Department of the Treasury, written in 1939, about the financial situation in Nanking during the Japanese occupation. I was writing a report about the Rape of Nanking for a history class, and I stumbled upon it while searching the university library.

I was shocked that it wasn't in their archives, and even more shocked that they let me check it out.
