    Thompson “grew up in a working-class family in Jewell, Iowa,” a tiny farming community north of Des Moines, Amy Julia Harris and Ernesto Londoño report. “His mother was a beautician, according to family friends, and his father worked at a facility to store grain.” Thompson’s childhood was spent “going row by row through the fields to kill weeds with a knife, or working manual labor at turkey and hog farms.”

    is true… then he’s a class traitor; not a hero. he made his money fucking over the working class. that’s not heroic.

    I had a math teacher that was there to coach football… instead of the normal method for balancing equations and such he’d insist you use his wonky play call diagrams.

    Which made all the other algebra and trig teachers have re-teach kids coming out of his last class.

    Dude was a stereotypical jock that was going to give one of his athletes a free pass for stuffing a friend of mine into a locker. At least until i stuffed the tight end in his locker, instead.

    So. How about this. We swap the keys and go all strangers on a train?




  • They’re right.

    Democrats lost votes on Immigration , the Israeli genocide in Gaza and economic perception.

    There may have been some lgbtq voters that were reluctant… but they weren’t even close to the largest losses of voters.

    Ultimately, they fucked up messaging on the economy and tried to persuade unpersuadable “centrists” by taking up Trump’s own immigration policy. And then there’s the blatant and nearly unconditional support of Israel.

    Dems need to realize that centrists are already going to vote one way or the other. You can’t sacrifice your base for a small fraction of people who claim to be “undecided”.

    And you certainly won’t convince some idiot willing to vote for trump.
