    Since @Raoul the Red Shirt needs his hand held to some evidence. Here you go. You were personally tagged with this evidence of as right wing freak out. I know it is huffpoo but they do reference the statements directly and have compiled them for you.

    I knew someone would eventually do it for me, so here it is. It does not get much simpler than this click and if this is too much effort for you, then you really belong on twitter and you are like the boy. I will either accept your surrender or your argument.

    Thought I should mention: I was only against calling for Biden to step down because it was a distraction from "don't vote for the fucking fascist" and I didn't think he'd actually do it.

    Now that he has... Harris, AOC, Mitt Romney, one of the miniature Cybertrucks my dog drops all over the back yard... I don't care, I'll vote for them. Just not the fucking fascist!

    So Megyn clone 236567876 is suffering from a bit of replication decay IMO. They have to better with their clonuing process because what I assume is the original Megyn looks a whole lot better than the Bimos on 6the five right now. Don't they have some elven blood they can rejuvenate the line with?

    I guess you do not have to worry when your viewing audience is 70+ and probably not able to afford a HD TV or proper glasses because Trump stole all their money.

    Who gives a fuck? If you don't like it, let people know with your vote.

    Until then, please, just shut the fuck up. You MAGA morons are literally the only ones making a stink about it. And everyone knows it's not because you love democracy.

    So, anyone read Hillbilly Elegy? I'm tempted, if it's short.

    Please don't.
    It's not worth your brain space.
    Might I recommend my own novel instead? It will actually give you a much more accurate depiction of rural Appalachia. And I'm not just tooting my own horn.

    What do you want to know?

    They’re poor. They live day to day, hand to mouth, very close knit. Not that they intend to keep others out, just new people tend to want to … “fix” things. They aren’t very bright though. They still tend to believe propaganda. Probably because they are so insulated. Propaganda works best when you use fear. Fear of “others”.

    I was going to try to narrate it, but I see there's already an audiobook and it sounds like they did a good job. Rats. :brood:

    Just drink some Diet Mountain Dew, it'll have the same effect.

    It's not racist, it's just fucking horrible.

    Penguin has their own roster and I'm not on it, but if you know someone, or if you know someone who knows someone... :)

    Apparently I am someone, in some sense. They told me to let them know if I had a narrator in mind. At the time I did not, but I'm happy to suggest you when they ask me again.
