What's even funnier are the folks who are trying to go after Haley because of this article, when even before the editor's note the article didn't really have much to do with her or her decision making

I've been online most of the morning.

I have a friend who is a right winger in Berkeley. I hurt for him when he tells me about the folks where he lives. especially when he tells me about the people on his dating apps.

"Not to mention he was removed from active duty helping people after a hurricane"

muhhh our feelings are more important than someone's life

I can't talk about politics here, really

and my views aren't even as far right as most Republicans

"Republicans don't care about women."

I've been mostly busy with volunteering rather than talking about it online, especially since I've been doing volunteer work for more than one candidate.

I'd be willing to try and help some. Alaska is my home state and I still have tons of family there. None in Anchorage, sadly, but they know tons of people there.

@SilentCal1924! @Yellowhammer! @reagent! yay!

it's hilarious how much weight people are putting into her taking a polygraph

i mentioned this elsewhere but for someone who supposedly didn't want to be in the spotlight, her actions since coming out have sure been attention seeking

I'm very tempted to buy this for my dogs.

how does someone come forward claiming they're willing to talk, then come up with all sorts of conditions, and expect to be believed?

most places I'm in are only talking about Ford receiving death threats. I guess it's only unacceptable when its directed towards someone they like.

"Your cavalier treatment of a sexual assault survivor who has been doing her best to cooperate with the Committee is completely inappropriate."

get the fuck out of here with that bullshit

honestly her behavior is an insult to sexual assault survivors who would kill to have the chance to tell their story and have at least someone believe them

I can when I get home. I just got off work.

💀

I still don't see how it's hard to Google it or ask your parents

I'm sure if they did Google it, they'd cry about needing to pay for a stamp and claim that the government should cover the costs of mailing back their ballots

would it actually be under penalty of perjury?

wouldn't it fall under this instead:

because they aren't actually under oath

morning

https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/senate-democrats-investigate-a-new-allegation-of-sexual-misconduct-from-the-supreme-court-nominee-brett-kavanaughs-college-years-deborah-ramirez

my local news is talking about the study that found millenials don't send their absentee ballots because they don't know where to find stamps.

since that focus group was local to here

they're talking about "why don't we just do everything online?"

I'm still fighting with VA Dept of Elections regarding my registration location

I've changed my address 4 times to my current one. done it online, by mail, and when I had to drive all the way out to my old address to vote in the primaries

and they still haven't updated my registration

they most recently sent me a letter saying that i was listed under protected voter status and because I don't have a PO box they can't send me my registration, but if I don't reply in 2 weeks they'll automatically make my info public

even though I told them numerous times I'm not a protected voter

someone is getting a very angry phone call tomorrow

this Jennifer Wexton ad is gross

lemme see if I can find a video

https://youtu.be/bIzcQscm1UY

@reagent

there was also a really dumb anti-Comstock one by the DCCC but I can't find it

ooo, I'll have to look. I normally don't read YouTube comments because it's usually a hot mess.

I won't be home for another few hours

one of the biggest criticisms the left has given that the first two accusations won't ruin his life, just his SC chances. now that this Avenatti and Swetnick BS is out with something that actually can ruin his life they still don't care.

she looks like the cryptkeeper wearing a wig and pearls

not 100% related to what she's saying or the hearing, but who the heck goes to couples counseling over a disagreement during home remodeling?

she's dodging the question about anything else contributing to her anxiety and PTSD

yeah that was a good hole to poke

SHE GOT HER COKE

not really. just got back from a break. but it's basically dems spending their time grandstanding and Mitchell asking actual questions

Kamala Harris grandstanding time

no big surprise moments or anything

I teared up a bit when he talked about his girls wanting to pray for Ford and when he talked about his dad

I've been avoiding the atlas forum echo chamber

and certainly avoiding twitter

not a single person who is actually human would have shamed her for crying talking about something traumatic. like actual humans, not subhuman scum.

but of course, she didn't get emotional

imagine being accused of something you know you didn't do, of course you'd be mad. of course you'd be upset

especially when it affects your name and your family

even if she were to say "nevermind, I was wrong, it wasn't him" Dems would still be like "well, he's obviously still a rapist"

Ted!

local for me

@PiT let's get started on how Dianne Feinstein sexually harassed you

Kamala Harris saw it all and did nothing

I remember when you told me last summer

Tim Kaine once flashed his dick at me

I was traumatized

I'm seriously tempted to try to switch with a coworker to go to this event I was invited to at Corey Stewart's house on some real news

yeah she's in it

I didn't even know we were in the same group

and it's very small

so I'm surprised we hadn't crossed paths

lmao

where I am? not so good, despite living in his home county

everyone here, even for the R's, seems confident Kaine will win

RIP McCaskill 💀

And Manchin if he shuts down Kavanaugh

prepare for the inevitable meltdown

and muuuuhhhh integrity of the court

yes

I wasn't aware that there was some arbitrary Eharding litmus test that somehow decides how Republican I had to be to join a Republican server.

I voted R for VA Gov, LT Gov, AG, and wrote in for House of Delegates rather than the unopposed Democrat. I voted in the Republican Senate primaries back in June. I'm currently volunteering for and assisting with more than one Republican House campaign in my state, and work with a group that supports conservative women running for local offices.

the only arguable definition critics would have is that I'm fairly uncaring about social issues because I don't see them as the federal government's business. let people do whatever they want as long as they aren't harming other people. the government's job is to ensure our finances are in check, ensure our people are safe, and keep important things running smoothly. all the extra shit can be left to state and local governments.

so someone who is more socially conservative doesn't like that I'm fine with things like gay marriage and marijuana legalization.

and I think the bathroom issue has been blown up to be bigger than it should be.

both sides are really taking it too hard imo.

It's just a bathroom. If you're worried about your young child, go with them to make sure they're safe. I have no shame in resorting to using the men's room sometimes if the line for my bathroom is too long and I really have to go.

the left tends to take anything like that to extreme levels. you remember when I got accused of supporting Nazis because I said assaulting someone because of their political beliefs is wrong @PiT

on Facebook a bit ago

but muhhhh this isn't a courtroom

💀 Heitkamp 💀

a decent chunk of atlas would call it a junk poll cause they're convinced Dems will take the Senate

💀
