MagicShel , in Vance calls reaction to Trump’s attacks on Harris’s heritage ‘hysterical’

Confusing hysteria with hysterical laughter over how weird it is to think you can tell someone else what race they are.

grue ,

No, he’s just being misogynist (look up the etymology of “hysteria” – or “hysterical,” for that matter).

MagicShel ,

Yeah I know where hysteria comes fine. But there is also a pejorative form of hysterical (in hysterics) and’s non-pejorative (hilarious, which is what I actually meant to have typed above to avoid confusion, but my brain went in autopilot).

catloaf , in Vance calls reaction to Trump’s attacks on Harris’s heritage ‘hysterical’

JD Vance once convinced himself he was gay. And he’s changed his name twice. So he’s really not one to judge for this, even though it’s imagined.

Not that either the bullshit nor the hypocrisy would lose him any votes.

FlyingSquid OP ,

J.D. thinks it’s “hysterical” because J.D. became an Appalachian hillbilly when he thought it would benefit him politically. So if he can become a hillbilly, of course Kamala can become black!

“I’ll never forget the time I convinced myself that I was gay. I was eight or nine, maybe younger, and I stumbled upon a broadcast by some fire-and-brimstone preacher. The man spoke about the evils of homosexuals, how they had infiltrated our society, and how they were all destined for hell absent some serious repenting. At the time, the only thing I knew about gay men was that they preferred men to women. This described me perfectly: I disliked girls, and my best friend in the world was my buddy Bill. Oh no, I’m going to hell.”

When he brought up the issue with his grandmother — known to Vance as “Mamaw” — she replied bluntly: “Don’t be a fucking idiot, how would you know that you’re gay?”

When Vance explained his reasoning, she laughed.

“JD, do you want to suck dicks?” she said, according to the book.

The young Vance, apparently “flabbergasted,” said: “Of course not!”

“Then you’re not gay. And even if you did want to suck dicks, that would be okay,” she replied. “God would still love you.”

MsPenguinette ,

Ngl, that last line does cause me to involuntarily feel a warm flutter in my heart but then I remember that she says “god” would still love them instead of “I’d”

Cadeillac ,
@Cadeillac@lemmy.world avatar

I mean, she said it would be fine, not that only god would still like him

NoIWontPickAName ,

Agreed, he was worrying about god judging him from church, not about mamaw.

cybervseas , in Chuck Schumer’s ambitious plan to take the Supreme Court down a peg

Senate shenanigans are always fun to read about.

Also, we learned that they’re “separate but equal” branches of government in school. Let’s see if the legislative branch can claw back some level of influence.

…we learned that they’re “separate but equal” branches of government in school.

Samsies. But then again, I don’t think normal people (our founders included) ever expected a willful collusion by a party to stack those branches of government in their favor.

SteveFromMySpace ,

“Separate but equal” was Plessy v. Ferguson which upheld segregation laws in Jim Crow states.

dohpaz42 ,
@dohpaz42@lemmy.world avatar

Thank you for pointing that out. It is an important distinction that carries a lot of weight for a lot of people.

alcoholicorn ,

The founders didn’t intend for the SCOTUS to be an equal branch of government. They just kinda started doing constitutional review, and multiple founders were explicit about how that’s not what they intended.

SteveFromMySpace ,

Uhhh couple of y’all are using the phrase “separate but equal” way out of context.

That was the key phrase for Plessy v. Ferguson aka the basis for the formal establishment of segregation in the US.

“Separation of powers” and “checks and balances” are the guiding principles for our 3 branches.

cybervseas ,

Oy, of course you’re right 😅

“Coequal” I think was the term I remember learning.

Nobody , (edited ) in Biden Slams Trump When Asked About Ex-President’s Claim He Could Have Saved Russian Hostages

Stable genius: “Vladimir Putin is a great friend of mine. We’ve been dealing with each other for several years. All you have to do to get a favor from Putin is agree to do 10 favors for him then suck his dick. That’s how business is done is Moscow, and I’m a businessman. The best many say.”

mox , (edited ) in No plan for US House to take up KOSA despite Senate passage

I often worry that citizens check the content and consequences of legislation before voting even less than social media users check the content and context of articles before commenting. Put a “protect the kids” title on it, and you almost get a free pass for whatever nonsense you’re pushing, regardless of how harmful it might be.

JPAKx4 ,

To be fair, in the US you don’t vote on bills, you just elect representatives. The names are only there to manipulate people into agreeing so they don’t call up their representatives to complain.

some_guy , in 'Unacceptable': Court Blocks Net Neutrality Rules During Legal Battle.

The problem is for people entering USA by cars, millions of canadians per year! A lot with their dogs, going camping and all. I go in the state maybe once or twice per month, I will need to fill a CDC report every time? It does not make sense.

some_guy , in 14 arrested in human trafficking sting at comic convention in US.

As a result of the three-day operation, 14 sex buyers were arrested, nine adult potential victims of sex trafficking were recovered, and one 16-year-old was recovered. According to the statement, support services, child welfare services and juvenile support service advocates were on the scene as needed.

The rightwing nutjobs are always freaking out about little kids getting trafficked and the reality is it’s mostly adults.

ouRKaoS ,

Rightwing nut jobs: “See? They’re trafficking adults because of our efforts to stop child trafficking!”

Normal people: Why not just stop trafficking altogether?

Trump just had Biden hitting at him before.

Now he has Biden and Harris at the same time.

I’m not the 4D chess type, but I’m starting to think this was all intentional.

cranakis ,

Depends on what “intentional” means here. I think pressure from a number of groups with different motivations caused this to happen but it doesn’t seem to be planned well in advance to me.

Seems like they would have warmed Kamala up sooner in the media if it was planned far in advance also.
