    Are we sure it wasn't AI generated? I mean, the number of things companies lead to AI is astonishin(ly stupid).

    Good point, but that would be even more disgusting.

    Agreed: I hope no one thinks I'm defending or excusing it.

    I mean, at the very least, they could have assigned a proofreading bot and a cultural sensitivity bot to read over the message.

    It's a real 1984 moment.

    "We've always supported DeSantis. We never supported the former guy. Who was it, was it it Trump?"

    The mocking of a disabled person.
    Not caring about US service members being taken POW.
    The constant lying.
    The nepotism and grifting.
    Inciting an insurrection.
    And so much more.

    But it takes three failed elections for the Murdoch machine to decide to abandon TFG

    Am I misremembering or wasn't there a video of the former guy and his wife voting and he looked over at her ballot to make sure it was correct?

    They really do want women to be baby/pleasure machines and nothing more. Them and Saudi Arabia have much in common.

    You are not misremembering. His cocaine-addicted son did the same thing with his wife/partner.

    It looks like you are correct. Going back to the original article, @usscouse posted.

    KFC apologises after German Kristallnacht promotion
    The fast food chain said the "automated push notification" was "linked to calendars that include national observances".

    It added that it "sincerely" apologised for the "unplanned, insensitive and unacceptable message" and said app communications had been suspended while an examination of them takes place.

    Does that make this less awful or worse?
    I really don't know, but I guess it is less mind-droppingly tone deaf.

    Maybe one day he'll enter treatment for being a Trump. Might save his life.

    Somehow crime suddenly became less newsworthy on Fox.

    Apparently Tucker went after Pete Buttigieg for apparently lying about being gay (or at least for not coming out) back when Pete was in the military. Never mind he would have been discharged under Don't Ask, Don't Tell if he had not lied.

    Are you sure that wasn't before DADT? Because the whole idea was, you don't have to lie because no one is supposed to/allowed to ask...

    Wouldn't he have been too young before DADT was implemented? He was born in 1982.

    DADT was f'd up.

    "So, private, are you, you know..."

    "I can neither confirm or deny that, sergeant"

    "OK, carry on"

    A quick review tells me the policy went into effect in 1994. Before that, official policy was "we must hunt down and root out these unnatural people with the nerve to want to serve their country." DADT was a compromise solution-- the hierarchy was willing to stop looking, stop poking into things in search of straying penes, but they were terrified that drag queens would take it as license to do the merengue around the barracks while handing out poppers. So if one came out, if one accidentally got caught, one still got drummed out of the corps. That was their side of the compromise.

    So he shouldn't have had to lie-- except in the sense that not speaking one's truth is an implicit lie.

    It is quite true that DADT did zero to help gays get out of the closet-- it preferred them there. But at least they were mostly safe from active pursuit and incarceration. And the fact that it happened at all was a small step on the route to today's much more accepting society. People thought things through from a different perspective rather than swallowing the traditional line.

    As a white hetero male it is an astonishing and gratifying difference in the day to day texture of my culture, even though there is a lot of room for further improvement. YMMV and probably does, but real distance has been crossed and one can see it from over here, honest.

    If you break out the "F" word or do your impression of Liberace in random company you are no longer greeted with laughter and approval but rather active rations of shit from a plurality, even majority of bystanders. A generation more and it'll be over. We are going to leave a world that is better than we found on this subject, anyway.

    I've heard about these hosts but I don't really know anything about them. Was Judge Jeanine ever an attorney or was she a judge like Judge Reinhold?

    She was a Westchester County Court judge for two years, 1991-92.
    She then ran for district attorney.

    War. Lots of it. All over. Against everything we hold dear. Non-stop war.
