If you're amused by watching right wingers completely lose their minds, I recommend the NASCAR FB page. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 06:42 4
- they should just steal the joke from twitter and show the white flag waving with "ATTENTION: the real Confederate flag will still be at every race" -- nm - Beaker Jun 12, 06:44 3
  - yeah someone posted "how about a comprise. You just wave the confederate flag when the last car crosses the line to signify they lost" -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 12, 06:47 1
    - That's great. -- nm - Reagen Jun 12, 06:48
  - Yeah that's hilarious. -- nm - Shaun Jun 12, 06:47
Starbucks reverses course. Baristas can wear BLM gear. -- (link) - budice Jun 12, 06:41 1
- A billion years ago in the before times, they wanted baristas to start lecturing people on race! - Reagen Jun 12, 07:27
I still don't get how people believe this shit. -- (pic) - amanda Jun 12, 06:38 [Attachment] 35
- Gives them something to latch on to and explain their own mediocrity. -- nm - mafic Jun 12, 07:22
- The poster is right. - Marlowe Jun 12, 06:57 1
  - ::high five:: - Spawn Jun 12, 08:04
- It’s just front groups all the way down. -- nm - Qale Jun 12, 06:55
- Our local news posts on FB, when I read some of the replies, I constantly think "...are these bots? No one can possibly feel this way, right?" - JaxSean Jun 12, 06:53 22
  - It looks like a Qanon believer is going to go to Congress next year from Georgia. -- nm - pmb Jun 12, 07:02 8
    - That one ended up going to a runoff so they could still fix that if voters there are so inclined. -- nm - Reagen Jun 12, 07:04 7
      - But she still had a sizeable lead. -- nm - pmb Jun 12, 07:09 6
        
        Yup. I hope the publicity leads them to switch to the gun nut instead of the everything nut. -- nm* - Reagen Jun 12, 07:12 5
        
        People hoped the same thing when LA elected David Duke. -- nm - Krusty Jun 12, 07:13 4
        
        A bunch of major Republican figures at the time actually did switch! "Vote for the crook, It's important!" - Reagen Jun 12, 07:16 3
        
        His opponent was endorsed by nearly every other republican and he was denounced but the people still voted for him. - Krusty Jun 12, 07:23 2
        
        Oh sure and Louisiana is racist as fuck. 1 vote is too many but they can be motivated in the right circumstances. -- nm - Reagen Jun 12, 07:25 1
        
        I hope so -- nm - Krusty Jun 12, 07:32
  - There are actual crazy motherfuckers out there like this -- (link) - Reagen Jun 12, 06:55 12

      - the girl filming should of ended the shot with "she seemed nice" -- nm - Beaker Jun 12, 07:20
    - Ahh, to be that person that hates Asians and buys a Honda. (NM) - Marlowe Jun 12, 07:00 2
      - There's another video of this same woman where she goes *off* on another Asian for stretching on stairs and *wearing black clothing* - Reagen Jun 12, 07:02 1
        
        Yep, posted that above. - JaxSean Jun 12, 07:04
    - This one's super satisfying -- (link) - Reagen Jun 12, 06:56 6
      - I hate seeing fight videos, but I agree that's fairly satisfying. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 12, 07:09 4
        
        I have a slightly different interpretation on the ending - Reagen Jun 12, 07:14 3
        
        That and this is the US. The loser could press criminal charges. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 07:27 2
        
        I mean he could... try... But the video is as clear cut a self defence as you could ever have. -- nm - Reagen Jun 12, 07:28 1
        
        He didn't necessarily know it was on video. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 07:31

- fear and a need to have an answer. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 12, 06:41 1

- Love reaction BY TWO PEOPLE! -- nm - ty97 Jun 12, 06:40
- It's partly wish fulfillment/persecution complexes. -- nm - Reagen Jun 12, 06:39
- Right wing talk radio. That's why. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 06:39
NC Health Secretary says going back in lock down is still on the table. Cases surge and hospitalizations at highest since pandemic began. -- nm - sycor Jun 12, 06:34 16
- NJ is making me very nervous. I think they're opening things up way too soon and I worry it will kick things back up here. -- nm - Krusty Jun 12, 06:36 15
  - We are in phase 2 of re-opening. Phase 1 lasted I think 3 weeks. Crazy short time period. - sycor Jun 12, 06:47 3
    - It's too soon for a lot of things they're ready to allow. I wish they'd slow down and ease into it more. We all want things back to normal - Krusty Jun 12, 06:52 2
      - I've never seen anything worse from the feds. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 07:01 1
        
        They've abandoned the states to care for themselves and we see how well that worked out. -- nm - Krusty Jun 12, 07:15
  - But on the positive side, maybe they'll close the border? -- nm - Roger More Jun 12, 06:43 3
    - Ha! You joke but I think we may need to cut ourselves off from the dopes to our south. -- nm - Krusty Jun 12, 06:48 2
      - Finally, a pretext. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 06:56
      - "But think of what we'd be giving up... Actually hold on, I'll go get some bricks for the wall." -- nm - Reagen Jun 12, 06:49
  - Is there anything Jersey doesn't ruin? -- nm - Reagen Jun 12, 06:38
  - I was surprised they did it so abruptly. NYC is being far smarter. They can't afford otherwise. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 06:37 5
    - I don't get their thinking. Things got better but they aren't good enough to start to open like they're doing. - Krusty Jun 12, 06:42 4
      - If it doesn't touch people directly, its easy to think everything is normal. For you guys, you couldn't hide from it. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 06:43 3
        
        I saw a comment today that the phrase "avoid like the plague" will have to be retired. -- nm - Roger More Jun 12, 06:44 2

- One of them is 15 minutes from me right now -- nm - ty97 Jun 12, 06:34 6
  - Go buy stuff!! -- nm - decline Jun 12, 06:39 1
    - this. -- nm - Beaker Jun 12, 06:41
  - Do you realize maybe you’re the problem? -- nm - spamlet Jun 12, 06:35 3
    - It's JC Penney. It won't get mobbed. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 06:39 2
      - He’s also 3 minutes from Hertz’s HQ -- nm - spamlet Jun 12, 06:39 1

  - Yup. the LAPD has a lambo. -- nm - Shaun Jun 12, 06:29 8
    - Honestly, I don't see what it could be used for other than in pursuit but even then their normal cars are faster than nearly every car on the road. - Krusty Jun 12, 06:33 3
      - a slight tickle and it would fall apart so not likely good for a chase -- nm - Beaker Jun 12, 06:42 1
        
        Imagine trying a PIT maneuver with it. -- nm - Reagen Jun 12, 06:44
      - Yup. -- nm - Shaun Jun 12, 06:36
    - More info here -- (link) - Roger More Jun 12, 06:32 3
      - That makes more sense. Not sure how it helps bring attention to charitable events other than to bring out people to look at the car. -- nm - Krusty Jun 12, 06:35 2
        
        They wanted the write off and ew, can’t let the poors have it. -- nm - spamlet Jun 12, 06:36 1
        
        Ha! I'm not sure I'd be willing to give much to a charity that has a Lambo parked outside the event. -- nm - Krusty Jun 12, 06:38
  - Wait, I'm wrong. I was thinking of a different pic I saw earlier today. -- nm* - Reagen Jun 12, 06:28 6
    - They also have a Tesla. -- nm - Shaun Jun 12, 06:36 4

        Are they trying to take down Charlize Theron in a nuclear submarine?! -- nm - Reagen Jun 12, 06:48
      - Right. I saw that earlier and glanced too quickly at this one. -- nm - Reagen Jun 12, 06:38
    - Pretty sure it's a Gallardo but it could an Aventador. -- nm - Krusty Jun 12, 06:30
There are two lawn crews outside right now and their machines are harmonizing like the THX jingle. -- nm - Reagen Jun 12, 05:52 1
