Tapper said while they both didn’t answer questions, Pence sidestepping on roe v wade, covid etc was obviously worse than "will you pack the court if we ram the unpopular scotus judge through but lose the election?’
Umm she crushed him unless you still live in 1950’s Leave It To Beaver land. Granted, that’s 30% of the country, but no sane person thinks Pence won the debate.
I genuinely love this conservative fan fiction where you live in a rural shithole, got your house for 50k 30 years ago but absolutely hate prosperous cities you’ve never been to like NYC/SF.
It reminds me of this show Naked Archaeologist that did an episode on the Philistines. Apparently the Hebrews were kind of hillbillies, didn’t interact much with the outside world. But they knew they hated the Philistines - more than anything. The Philistines actually were a trading, seafaring culture, had more advanced pottery etc.
So basically the Hebrews were Arkansas and the Philistines were California. But because Arkansas got to write the Bible, we use Philistine as a pejorative for a boorish lout to this day.
As someone that has lived in rural America for the past 10 years, I can confirm they don’t look at it like that. They view property taxes before all else. Go tell a rube that property tax in NJ is $10K and they will faint. Doesn’t matter that the land is worth $500K for a half acre.
How does she not have an answer prepared for “will you pack the courts”? Like obviously she can’t answer it, but she should have at least had something ready to fire along the lines of “Looks like you agree that you are about to lose the White House and the Senate huh?”
Like wtf does this even mean? It sounds like some F** Capital of the World dog whistling and maybe also projection.
Jim Jordan: The libruls wanna force you to lather up in rainbow lube, roll around in some glitter, and have a big gay sex party on your front lawn. I’m totally against that. Totally. For real, not even kidding.
