In public areas. it makes sense.

He could have said thickly settled, ha ha.

They probably should have actually weighed him and insisted on a credible health history including all meds taken because if convicted he may be incarcerated in the great state of Georgia. It's important to know the health profile of inmates.

Why? Who knows but Hillary Clinton was right about Inmate No P01135809.

San Franciscans don't say Frisco! In Thailand to communicate, you say America. In Latin America, best to be polite and not say that. In Europe, say U.S. In the U.S., no need to say, people know. Why Do Some Hate the Nickname ‘Frisco’? | KQED

Prison game faces.

Legally speaking he deserves to be presumed innocent of all 91 felony counts. If you're going to serve on a jury, you would need to commit to that. But this is a forum. 91 felony counts and innocent of all of them? When strawberry blonde pigs fly!

Is that some kind of "Q" thing like the Kraken?

91 felony charges. The chances of him being cleared on all 91 practically zero.

He was going for looking strong. What we got was him looking EVIL. If the shoe fits!

No.

Vlad Vexler's take on it:

Irrelevant old gaffe. BORING!

Not afraid of running against Trump. That would be Biden's best chance. But this election is not just another horse race. There is now an active movement to enforce the constitutional rule that disqualifies Trump from running based on his insurrectionist actions. Some states will ban him from ballots because of that. A conviction is not required. This will be decided in the Supreme Court. If the ballot bans based on the constitution are upheld it will be game over for the traitorous grifter ex president. Stay tuned.

Who said you can't go there? You're making that up. This is a viral song that just so happens to have more going on than is apparent on the surface and some of it is UGLY. People aren't "upset" about a song per se but the way it is being used and by the right wing now is already obnoxious and I think it's just the beginning. I don't think he mentioned welfare ladies. You might be remembering the classic republican dog whistles about black welfare queens. Oliver is talking about obese younger men and I think it's obvious he's talking to white men. His lyrics indicate a very weak understanding of the nutrition problem in economically depressed rural areas which are basically fresh and healthy food deserts and junk food is the only way poor people (on welfare or not) can realistically fill their stomachs.

Stop that punching down, Oliver. Ironically it's going to be impossible for Oliver not to get rich from this even if he resists. Rich Men North of Richmond punches down. No surprise the right wing loves it | Music | The Guardian

Similar response idea without the weird right wing conspiracy theory crapola in the viral song. Inspired by Woody Guthrie. Yes the viral song is great as a song but it's so incredibly misguided and divisive in its lyrics.

As I suspected the singer is infected with the Qanon conspiracy theory cult. https://www.npr.org/2023/08/24/1195566500/rich-men-north-richmond-republican-primary-debate The first Republican primary debate opened up with a nod to a breakout country song, "Rich Men North of Richmond," that has achieved the unusual feat of topping the Billboard 100 chart almost overnight. The song, which is being hailed by some as a kind of "hillbilly elegy" for the working class, comes from a previously unknown singer who goes by the name Oliver Anthony. It rails against the hardship of taxation, but also against people on welfare — and it also nods to a conspiracy theory that has become a mainstay of the far right.

Of course it does if you know anything about history and what Richmond was. Also he could be talking about the Northeast in general or even a coded dog whistle to you know what.

Mention of this song made its way into the republican debate today. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/08/23/gop-debate-ron-desantis-00112626

Yeah may as well have a bot post such canned stuff.

I probably would say Christian fundamentalists mostly if I wanted to talk about such people. Or you could say fundie. I associate the American ones with far right wing politics as most supported trump (which is kind of silly when you look at that man's behavior) but of course not all of them are.

Tired old conspiracy theory. Anything original?

In actual modern usage, the term Jesus freaks is out of fashion and is rarely used in a derogatory way or any way as it's rarely used PERIOD. It's incredibly passe and dated. I find this entire Jesus freak discussion an absurd irrelevant diversion from the actual topic. The cold blooded murder of a fine upstanding woman by a perverted homophobe. But typical for this forum to go off in ridiculous tangents. BTW -- the much more common terms to describe fundamentalist Christian religious fanatics are bible-thumpers and God botherers.

I am sure San Francisco's NEIGHBORHOODS are still great. Yes, Market Street has become tragic.
