Colorado Republican Brutally Grilled By Local News Anchor: ‘Why Is Abortion Good For Your Girlfriend? Bad For Other Women?’ (www.mediaite.com)

Colorado congressional candidate and sitting State Rep. Richard Holtorf ® received a tough grilling this week at the hands of local 9News anchor Kyle Clark over his apparent hypocrisy when it comes to abortion rights....

He was a moderator of a Republican debate the other day and ran it fantastically. Jimmy Kimmel picked it up because it was soooo good. Just look up Jimmy Kimmel Kyle Clark.

Side note, as a Coloradoan, I just want to say that Kyle Clark is a state treasure.

I recently started a new Stardew playthrough after leaving it for a couple years. Damn that game is so good. It’s like a perfect little dose of relaxation.

This looks like a Stardew Valley comic. Harvey is a doctor and I’m assuming the other character is Maru, who works at the clinic with Harvey.

My guess is the joke is something about how businesses celebrate Pride Month, but Harvey is like “what do you want to do, practice gay medicine?” Because it makes no sense for a clinic to change their business practices.

But yeah, that’s just my guess. I don’t really get it either.

Anyone smarter than me know how to pull the video link from that article? I’d love to share it with some folks but don’t think they’d read the article and scroll down for the video.

This article is 6 years old, but just shows that Trump’s strategy has remained exactly the same. He plays off our media’s weakness to want to report on a spectical, so he gives them exactly what they want in order to dominate headlines.

Hitler, Childers writes, became not just a political leader but “a national celebrity, easily the most recognizable — and controversial — figure of German political life. Even his enemies — and they were legion — were obsessed with him. His habits, his tastes, his background, his personal life were the topics of endless speculation, gossip, and analysis.”

I recently discovered adding red pepper flakes to broccoli and holy shit it is delicious.

Trump plans to claim sweeping powers to cancel federal spending: In a second term, allies said the former president would look at funding cuts for the World Health Organization and green energy (wapo.st)

Classically, Congress held the power of the purse, able to both bar and require spending. This imposed a significant limit on Presidential power. With a bought court supporting him, Trump would have significant ability to essentially chart power as a king.

S&P downgraded its credit rating first from AA+ to AA in August 2014, due to a budget that analysts described as structurally unbalanced,[52] and again in February 2017 from AA to AA−.[53]

It bugs me that credit ratings follow the eBay review policy of “AAAAA+++++ excellent service!!!”

Isn’t Ronny Jackson that doctor who famously said, with a straight face, that Trump was the most physically fit president he has ever seen?

Can’t wait to see someone seriously say, “what’s the big deal if he’s a felon? I heard that almost three quarters of presidents commit a felony.”

Maybe he’s a heroine addict. He needs to have sex with women who have saved someone’s life.

Edit: the downvotes must have missed the Mitch Hedberg joke in reply to another Mitch Hedberg joke.

“He wants to know before he sentences someone what the typical sentence is,” Aidala said, and would consider other factors, like Trump’s age and lack of a criminal record, while also taking into account the lack of injury caused by the crime

Lack of injury?? He literally committed crimes to get elected, which he did. 340 million Americans had to suffer this dipshit being president for 4 years. A million of us died during his piss-poor response to COVID!

I don’t think he’ll go to prison (would love to be proven wrong). I don’t think these charges have mandatory jail time. Plus I think he will appeal this until he dies.

I’ve been rear-ended while driving three times over the years. Two were minor, one totaled the car. I have to think that all three of those would have been exponentially worse if I was on a motorcycle instead of in a car.

I wish I had your confidence that he’ll face any consequences. I don’t think his supporters know anything about the trial, other than it’s “a deeply unfair politically motivated witch trial in a kangaroo court”.

I’m just hoping that the remainder of voters aren’t too far gone and realize what a POS he is. The polling being as close as it is concerns me.

Yeah, the stock market is doing great. Companies are making money hand over fist. Meanwhile, I got a 1% raise this year, but my cost of living expenses have ballooned, especially for things I have no control over.

My mortgage escrow payment just went up $300 a month, but I consider myself fortunate since my brother’s went up $900. My health insurance premiums are up. My grocery bill is eye popping. I’ve drastically cut back on eating out because it costs me an arm and a leg to get decent fast food. My kids are still a ways out from college, but I looked at tuition trends recently and nearly had a heart attack.

And I want to be clear, I am 100% voting for Biden because I have more than 2 braincells to rub together and understand that this isn’t his fault and a Trump administration would be disastrous. But the phrase “It’s the economy, stupid” will always ring true. And while technically the “economy” is great for rich people, it fucking sucks for the rest of us right now.

Trump is such an obvious con-man that it frustrates me to no end that he continues to get away with it and people cover for him. Look at what he said:

“We’re looking at that and I’m going to have a policy on that very shortly”

When pressed he said:

“Things really do have a lot to do with the states, and some states are going to have different policy than others”

He literally doesn’t know what the fuck he is talking about! He’s just basically smiling and nodding - and this dumbass was president and is trying to be president again.

@jballs@sh.itjust.works avatar

What’s crazy is that the news treat this as if he’s staying a serious policy instead of calling it what it is. They phrase it as “Trump says he’s open to restrictions on contraception”. They should be saying “Trump clearly flounders and doesn’t know what contraception means.”

This man does not have a single serious policy, other than his own personal goals.

I like to shit on Trump as much as the next guy, but this actually seems like an honest mistake. It’s part of a background headline from this vintage newspaper video template: …envato.com/newspaper-vintage-history-headlines-p…

Though I have no doubt if Biden’s campaign did the same, Republicans would be up in arms about it.

Edit: I guess it’s easier to click the downvote button than it is to watch the video.

This came out during the Michael Cohen testimony today. He admitted to skimming money off the top of some payments that Trump was making to a company called RedFinch to bump up his poll numbers through bots. I’m kind of surprised that admission in court wasn’t bigger news.

I never really put too much stock in polls, but did you all see the Michael Cohen testimony today? He admitted to skimming money off the top of some payments that Trump was making to a company called RedFinch to bump up his poll numbers through bots.
