Brutal Anti-Cruz Attack Ad Just Candidate’s Photo Displayed Without Any Text, Voiceover, Music

If we can dump Fled Cruz, maybe Cornyn will retire in '26.

You forgot to add a red circle around the author's name...

Geeze, jokesplaining.

I'll add to the meta here:

but - that's the joke.

America - and look at what has become normalized over the last 8+ years.

Damn, the Onion is just not screwing around.

Seems about right. Id put more red in Texas though.

It's interesting that Canada has so many independent voters.

I like Lydic. But I couldn't sit through it. I guess it's still too soon for me. Back in to my hole.

"You ever go to the clinic thinking you have herpes, and then you find out you do have herpes, but it's kind of nice because now at least you know".

[Max Peck]

Heh, I just extracted myself from a conversation with a couple of people who apparently are emphatic about not wanting to know that they have herpes.

[hepcat]

Hopefully it wasn't a family reunion!

[Max Peck]

Nah, just an ill-advised foray into a post-election discussion on a Discord server. And, as it turns out, saying I had "extracted myself" turned out to be a tad premature. There was still at least one bridge left standing.

Dozens of Black people across the country said they have received text messages telling them they had been “selected” to pick cotton “at the nearest plantation.”

The messages came just hours after the polarized presidential election came to a close this week.

On Wednesday morning, Monèt Miller, a publicist from Atlanta, Georgia, was reeling over Donald Trump winning the White House when she received a text message from an unknown phone number.

“Our Executive Slaves will come get you in a Brown Van,” the message read, “be prepared to be searched down once you’ve enter the plantation.”

It's not dozens though, it's hundreds and probably thousands. Someone got ahold of a phone list and fired it out and there have been copycats or follow-up spams. Some kind of accelerationist shit, possibly Russia involvement too. They really really want a race war.

This has probably been shared before, but it remains relevant. It's a classic for a reason.



I'd have loved to have heard his take on the last twelve years.

Sounds like the path requires a lot of courage, integrity, and sacrifice. Good luck with that here.

More than half of America chose this piece of shit. I hope they get what they deserve in full. Unfortunately we're all along for the ride against our will with the deplorables.

More than half of America chose this piece of shit. I hope they get what they deserve in full. Unfortunately we're all along for the ride against our will with the deplorables.

Just remember that not only less than half of America, but less than half of the *voters* chose this shit.

Trump got slightly under 50% of the popular vote. Harris just got a little less than him. The rest was third-party static.

Corrected version:

Almost half of America chose this piece of shit. I hope they get what they deserve in full. Unfortunately we're all along for the ride against our will with the deplorables.

[Blackhawk]

Take three (four?):
1/3 of Americans actively chose Trump.
An additional 1/3 of Americans passively chose Trump.

[LawBeefaroni]

We've already done this.

I think it depends what is the major parts that caused Democrats to lose the election.

There isn't a message I can spin or a plan I can offer when ~50% of the voting public decided they wanted a felon for President.

Trump got around 50.5% of the popular vote in an election with 63% turnout.

Which means that ~32% of the voting public affirmed that they wanted a felon for president. 32% affirmed that they didn't (if you're doing the math, that's Harris at 30.5% plus all other candidates at 1.5%). 36% cast no vote. The plurality winner was "can't be bothered."

Preach.

That was an excellent comic.

To be fair, a lot of them aren't what you'd really consider to be "Christian" in any meaningful sense.

[hepcat]

Try telling them that.

[GreenGoo]

To be fair, a lot of them aren't what you'd really consider to be "Christian" in any meaningful sense.

Exactly. The election didn't help their case either.
