CW central starts well and then .... Few young people appreciate the half assed crumbs

Why do you think, Mr. HAAAAAAVARD Pollster, that people don't appreciate neoliberal half assedism that does effectly nothing?

Maybe you can get the things you want later but "the system" isn't designed for instant gratification.

That's what you told my parents, and their parents old fart! Seems like you always use that as an excuse to deflect from actually doing something.

Well..ahh....ummm....well....AHHHHHH would you look at the time.

They just don't understand the that did to bring us together to fuck their future.

There's a bunch of in those cups.

@aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net who are they? Are they any good?

I have no Green / PSL around here.

Voters in Holland and Park townships have voted to recall Ottawa County Commissioner Lucy Ebel.

Ebel was one of several conservative commissioners backed by the conservative political action committee Ottawa Impact. She garnered about 40% of the vote, according to unofficial results.

Voters instead chose Democrat Christian “Chris” Kleinjans for the District 2 seat, which represents much of Holland Charter Township and a portion of Park Township on the Ottawa County Board of Commissioners. Kleinjans won 60% of Tuesday’s vote, according to unofficial results.

The organizers behind the recall effort called Ebel and her Ottawa Impact counterparts “too extreme.”

In November, petitioners submitted enough signatures to trigger the recall — 2,575, which was 94 over the minimum threshold required by law.

“The recall election will be a referendum on Ottawa Impact,” Larry Jackson of Park Township, the treasurer for the Ottawa County Democrats, said in an October statement. “The malicious actions of Lucy Ebel, Joe Moss and the other Ottawa Impact commissioners continue to cause harm to the citizens of Ottawa County.”

Jackson cited Ottawa Impact’s efforts to oust Administrative Health Officer Adeline Hambley, the board’s budget that decreased funding to the health department and “burning taxpayer money on expensive legal counsel.”

I highly doubt those protestors actually give a fuck about the Palestinians, Gaza, or the occupied West Bank (besides the fact that Israel itself is an occupation). They just want the hostages back and don't like Netanyahu.

But the media is gonna spin this as though it's just "bad apples" like Netanyahu that are the problem and if they were removed it'll be all good.

Immediately stomp an insect when they see one inside the house. It's like a reflex or impulse and honestly it's kinda scary seeing an otherwise nice person just stomp an insect or spider or whatever in cold blood almost instantaneously. There's like no thought or contemplation, it's just see the insect, and then immediately stomp it.

Like holy shit what did that little critter do to you? Just let it be.

EDIT: Holy fuck the responses. I guess many didn't actually read what I wrote. I wrote that people who "immediately stomp" without "thought or contemplation" have fash tendencies and I get accused of fashjacketing. Ugh whatever. To those who had thoughtful responses (e.g. if you feel something stinging your skin and swat it with your hand, or if you have an infestation issue in your house, etc.), I gotta say those make sense and I hear you all the way (and even in those cases it's not like there's a kneejerk intentional kill response, it's usually accidental or done after careful deliberation). But to the ones complaining about fashjacketing, maybe do some self crit for fuck's sake. You sound exactly like the fucking man vs bear defender types or a white fragility type, Jesus... It makes me actually think you do have fash tendencies tbh.
