Ah, gotcha. I misunderstood.

Andrew Jackson was also a bastard, especially for his treatment of natives. But I meant Johnson.

It is complicated because the rules are different in each state. Also, Trump was convicted in New York state but he resides and votes in Florida.

For out-of-state convictions, Florida defers to the other state’s rules. New York would allow Trump to vote if he resided there because he is not currently in prison, so Trump can vote in Florida legally.

While W. sucked in many ways, there is no way he is the worst. Off the top of my head I can easily think of four better contenders: Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan (both guilty of pro-slavery fuckery before the Civil War), Andrew Johnson (fought to let the Confederates off the hook after the war and opposed the 14th amendment), and Donald Trump (first president to be impeached twice, first to be convicted of a felony, and may be remembered by future historians as the spark that ignites the next Civil War).

Thank you, kind stranger!

Can we get a NSFW flag, please? This literally almost became an uncomfortable conversation with my coworkers.

Here in the US, I first learned about this from a Japanese exchange student. We quickly told him not to try it. Dude would have gotten his ass kicked by whomever he poked.

Of course Wikipedia has a helpful diagram for those who don’t know about Kanchō.

Delaware elected Sarah McBride, who is the first open transgender representative in Congress.

Georgia district attorney Fani Willis, who has been trying to prosecute Trump for trying to overturn the 2020 election, won reelection.

Washington Congressman Dan Newhouse, one of the ten Republicans who voted to impeach Trump (and one of two in that group who survived the subsequent midterm elections), successfully defended his seat again against a Trump-endorsed opponent. That’s at least one Republican in the House who doesn’t always rubber-stamp the party agenda.

The Associated Press seems to have a decent results presentation ready to go:

I wouldn’t bother watching minute-by-minute. There is a decent chance that some swing state will be close enough to trigger a recount, and/or one side files lawsuits challenging the results. This circus is far from over.

Making quiche for brunch. Apparently an omelet is fine, but a scrambled omelette is gay.

John Wayne was a turd who vocally supported Joseph McCarthy and Richard Nixon.

Spider-Man is based.

Gay beer is great.

I’m not seeing the downside here?

If anyone is viewing this in an app, it might show you an image preview that only shows one of the two photos in the imgur link. It doesn’t make sense without the second photo:
