It’s cringe if unironic, but no one was even ironically doing that poo poo for Biden.

Maybe it was the only one, but I distinctly remember seeing a lifted bro-tractor in central Providence completely decked out in Biden regalia and flags four years ago.

I suspect that Biden constituted an acceptable choice to the certain kind of middle-aged white dude who would typically lean Chud, but reluctantly comes to support progressive social policy due to the direct influence of people close to them. Like guy who would be against gay marriage if one of their kids hadn't come out a couple years back, against Roe if they didn't have a daughter willing to patiently school them on the importance of reproductive rights for women, or racist if they didn't have a black/brown friend at work - but still listens to country music and drives an F150.

Driving back to my hotel from work in Florida, the whole road was lined with Trump poo poo, except this one house that was just decked with pride flags and Biden* signs and gently caress Trump signs. Warmed my heart a little.

*He abdicated in middle of the trip, so no time to roll out the Harris/Walz merch, I imagine.

50% or more of the parts come from the US, depending on which engine model. Most of the non US functional components get made in Mexico or Canada. A lot of the microprocessors come from Korea and Taiwan. As expected a good bit of injection molded plastic comes from China. The overwhelming majority of components are sourced in North America, and this is generally true of all pickups sold in the US. What gets really low domestic content %age wise are the vehicles that are also sold in overseas markets.

Looked it up and apparently Camera Bartolotta there didn't get the party memo. She's a PA senate Republican, trying to argue against her party's bigotry with facts and observable reality in her own district. Good loving luck sister, nice to see you make the attempt now that it's targeting your backyard but that deck is stacked against you by your own peeps. Didn't look very deep in to her election but if she gets too loud about that there's a fair chance she loses her next primary.

I was literally posting the same thing with the same thought about that crypto conference where that happened, lol. From the photo it does look like there were spotlights on the seating areas on stage that weren't on Trump which could explain why it (apparently) didn't happen to him.

It happens sometimes at schools that have damaged lights.

Here’s one report that succinctly describes how it goes.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/691221/ posted:

Eighty-one members of girls' basketball teams were exposed to ultraviolet light while sitting in the bleachers of a school gymnasium. A mercury high-intensity discharge lamp lighting the bleacher area had a hole in its outer envelope that allowed the emission of ultraviolet light. Sixty-nine (85%) of the 81 girls were affected; 49 (71%) had symptoms of conjunctivitis and 63 (91%) had symptoms of erythema.

(Conjunctivitis is swollen eyes; erythema is reddened skin.)

It still comes up decades later, but will become progressively less common as LEDs replace old lamps.

It’s kind of impressive for it to happen on stage at an auditorium, but it’s plausible that they have some old stage lights that have been busted for a long time but no one has sat in front of them for multiple hours before and recognized the problem.

Something real, real bad (even worse than usual for the Republican chuckefuck) is apparently in the pipeline for the NC governor race:

https://x.com/joshtpm/status/1836804703927083285?t=Dxf1MzVsMjxv3jeuOSLb5w&s=19


quote:

Sources with direct knowledge have spoken with Carolina Journal on the condition of anonymity and said that Robinson is under pressure from staff and members of the Trump campaign to withdraw from the governor’s race due to the nature of the story, which they say involves activity on adult websites in 2000s.

According to sources, Robinson has resisted withdrawing and privately denies the story.
-----
According to the sources, the campaign of Attorney General Josh Stein, Robinson’s opponent in the race for North Carolina’s Executive Mansion, leaked the story to CNN and local Raleigh news outlet, WRAL. It is expected to hit airwaves later on Thursday.

Also according to the anonymous source, earlier this week leaders in the Trump campaign privately told Robinson that he was not welcome at rallies for Trump or vice presidential candidate JD Vance. He was slated to speak at the Vance appearance on Wednesday, but his office announced that Robinson had tested positive for COVID.

I seriously have no conception of what would even be considered bad enough by modern Republican standards. Literal armed insurrections, advocating for the murder of your political opponents and concentration camps are all viewed positively by these god drat lunatics. I don't even know if "dead girl or live boy" territory is something they consider bad enough for them to actually be running scared from a story, they'd just lie and post their way through it while claiming it was actually the other guys that did it and really when you think about it aren't Haitians stealing all our geese and cats?
