While it's a pretty tired cartoon, I think Marty Two Bulls would probably say a "reasonable Republican" is an oxymoron.

I mean, even if it's exhausted by Trump, that elephant does not look like a nice person.

Every single part of right-wing ideology is built to allow and encourage you to hate every other member human being thing that exists, for various reasons.

Republicans are fed up with Trump but only because Republicans, by design, are simultaneously fed up with every other Republican. There are no alliances in that space, only mutual enemies.

It took nine years, but Lester finally gives us the squeakquel:


ah yes, all those mass shootings in which people are assembled in a conveniently-tight group in front of the active shooter, waiting for them to take the shot so as to justify retaliatory fire, which, naturally, instantly kills the active shooter due to the lack of any obstruction between the good guy's gun and the bad guy, and also any panic on the good guy's part

and not, say, spread out across the incident grounds in a way that would make trying to aim for and incapacitate the mass shooter with your gun impossible at best and harmful to fellow victims at worst. why, that's almost as unthinkable a notion as someone under direct threat of death not having perfect aim

surely the latter circumstance could never be repeated in a church during service. it's not like people would be sitting in the pews or anything

all sarcasm aside, this is victim-blaming on a level far beyond "well just have a gun and live your entire life in a paranoid fight-or-flight state if you don't wanna die in a shooting, cuck". your loved ones died in a shooting? well clearly they just weren't organized, quick, and calm enough

Rant time: the rampant tolerance of horrible, horrible behavior of all kinds has basically broken our brains. Any given depiction of any such people (Trump, the Republican party, the alt-right, etc.) that doesn't completely skewer them could potentially make any of us treat it on the same level as something outright supporting them. Another example is when someone showed consternation when Ruben "Tom the Dancing Bug" Bolling depicted Trump, seeking help from Guiliani, is all innocent and 'aw, shucks' as part of the joke, worried that someone's take-away from it might be that Trump really is innocent. (The sad thing is the alt-right is counting on this, and does everything it can to make it happen, or at least LOOK like it's happening, to make people like us spiral into the kind of single-minded crusading that got Arnie Lerma banned from SA for constantly talking about Scientology).

I thought that the reason Athena turned Arachne into a spider was because Arachne wove a bunch of insulting scenes against the gods in the weaving competition and the gods are assholes thing was largely taken from a very few Greek authors.

The Saga

It is I, Kenny, site owner and administrator of Wiki Sours.

So I saw the problems with getting all the posted Gaybie nominations since SA's search is even worse than Lowtax's spine, and figured, why not make things easy on our Gay Abortion Doctors this year?

So I whipped up a page for the Gay Abortions 2020 Nominations on the wiki, for people to add their nominations as they come in, and at the end of the year, whoever hosts the Gaybies can just head on over there and grab all the nominations.

This is not meant to be instead of posting your nominations in the thread, but in addition to it! As we could see with BiggerJ's retracted one earlier this page, posting them in the thread is a chance for other posters to point out ill-read reasons for nominations, and posting your nominations in the thread also means seeing that something already got nominated without having to check all the nominations in the list first before adding yours. So do your Gaybie nomination post in the thread, then add them to the list, and if you retract a nomination, also remove it from the list. Little more work for nominators, but in an attempt to streamline the process for when the time comes to actually host the awards show itself.

Obviously this only works if everyone who wants to nominate also actually does add their nominations to the list - I've added all that's been nominated so far in the thread to get the list started, but the idea is to not put all the work on one person. Since the wiki also requires a user account to edit (because not doing that is a beacon that says "SPAM WELCOME"), my super-secret agenda with this is also to try to get some more activity on the wiki in general, and nobody will ever figure that out. Clearly I'm a master manipulator like Trump.

The wiki also kind of needs a favicon, which I thought I had already added but seems like I did not. Anyone want to whip up a 16x16 whiskey sour or something?

IMPORTANT NOTE: It's a nominations post, not a voting post, so Ambitious Spider, you've jumped the gun. As per thread rules, you'll have to edit your post if you want to nominate anything that isn't already in that thread.
