    Demotrash on How to Lose OhioDecember 26, 2025

    It doesn't help that Vivek briefly had a following among the "based" crowd, though they'd all like to pretend that…

    I actually think it had more to do with a misguided idea that a competitive primary would hurt the party…

    The GOP can't stop chasing the dream of showing that they, too, have diversity. They'll sacrifice everything on the altar…

    Vivek is Vivek. I would never expect anything better from him. But it's galling that the GOP rallied behind him…

    Perhaps he would be less clueless if he went to a prom and chill out a little. I’m sorry his…

    And the worst part is that Ramaswamy learned nothing and happily continues with the same type of cluelessness.

    Poor Ohio. Looks like a lose-lose race. No matter who wins, Ohio loses. Good campaign ad though.

    If you have not already read it I suggest The Spectator Bird  by Stegner. It won the National Book Award for Fiction…

    I can't explain it. It's never been this bad. I'm traumatized by how bad this is. I read this author…

    I wonder whether he wrote it as a spoof. Or is he a True Believer?

    "Vera by Juan del Val" Why/how did it win an award? Corrupt process? Tasteless judges? Something else?

    That's a great meme.

    That one is entirely on me. How I managed to mess them up us a mystery.

    Yes, the Reconquista is not difficult to teach. Where I feel consistently is teaching that the Aztecs were cannibals and…

    Do you know the historic penalty of treason, have any of the known miscreants even been charged, let alone jailed?…

    What went wrong with the potatoes?

    Yes, a great example. Germans are throwing away their country. It's horrible because Germany has so much that's wonderful.

    I'll add Germany to the second list too. How pathetic they have become in their self-hate is unbearable to see.

    I’d say he definitely didn’t fix it well, or fixed something else and missed the problem.

    And the weirdest thing is that they look exactly like us, for the most part.

    Your oven probably is at fault. Have you ever cooked anything as big as this turkey before? How big was…

    That's very insightful. I didn't think of it myself but it sounds spot on.

    That's the only explanation but the thermometer said the internal temperature was perfect.
