God damn it, news sites are the ugliest fuckers online. And I'm including the new brutalism "trend" in design.

The Missouri republican party office was destroyed in a tornado last night. I wonder if Pat Robertson will say it's god's will for the MO abortion ban laws.

No, it's that they're not being punitive enough. There are liberals walking around unsmited!

It's 5pm somewhere???

The nonsensical gif is the best part.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

The loss of Texas has the potential to change the political shape and future of the country like no other event. For that reason, it’s worth a heavy push by the Democrats.
Which means they'll completely ignore it.

Or they'll adopt positions identical to Republicans to try to win over conservative voters, ignoring those who loathe Republicans.

More conservative free market semi-skeptics. For all the conventional wisdom about the Democrats needing a centrist to appeal to soft Republican voters, I think someone like Warren and Sanders could grab a decent chunk of conservative voters, assuming they can be persuaded to think about their immediate economic interests rather than their cultural aversion to liberalism.
