Get caught in our web and have your senses challenged with another maddeningly morbid movie macabre! This week, we’re proving that scary is relative with “Spider Baby,” a hideously hilarious Ho-rror Ho-wler starring the late, great Sid Haig. Featuring loads of yuks ‘n’ yucks and a Tit-le song sung by Lon Chaney Jr.(!), this weirdie really keeps Ho-rror in the family!
Reposting this because some of y’all need a reminding.
Another reminder:
VOTE YOUR WHOLE BALLOT.
A Democratic President does nothing if Congress is controlled by Republicans. Your local elections are important, too. (It took us 20 years, but you notice we don’t have issues with our sheriff out here in Phoenix now we’ve voted out Joe Arpaio.)
Don’t skip any. Look up names on your phone while you’re in the ballot booth if you have to. VOTE YOUR WHOLE BALLOT.
A PSA because a lot of people don’t know this:
You CAN take your phone into the ballot booth, no one will stop you. You CAN google names from inside the ballot booth, no one will stop you. The only time you can get in trouble is, in some states, if you take a photo of your ballot. You CAN also take a long time voting. There are lots of booths usually, don’t worry about the line if you need to think about anything.
Voting is not a high school exam. You’re allowed to bring your phone. Please do that in case there’s something on the ballot you don’t understand!
reblogging for the last bit because I didnt know it.
Also, you can look up who is on the ballot and what they stand for well before you make it into the ballot booth. You don’t have to wait to google the people or the issues until you’re standing in front of the choices, and you can absolutely bring your notes or a list of voting decisions you’ve already made in with you.
Your state’s .gov site should provide you with lots of info / links to info about your local elections.
There’s also sites like ballotpedia and headcount.org
And going to local town halls or whatnot to listen to your would-be representatives speak- which is something I *really* wish had been normalized for me when I was younger. Walking in the room for things like that shouldn’t feel like trespassing, because it’s absolutely a thing that’s open for you to join in on.
Maybe it would help to treat the research like a homework assignment, only one that’s actually going to have a real impact on your future? …And you don’t even have to write an essay or give a presentation on what you find out.
the amount of misinformation (some of it purposeful) about impeachment floating around tumblr is ridiculous. here are some basic facts:
impeachment begins with an inquiry from the house of representatives, which pelosi officially began on september 24th. this can take a while.
the house can impeach trump with a simple majority. the vote on this takes place after the investigation. if a majority of representatives approve the articles of impeachment, it moves to the senate. since democrats have a majority in the house, this can happen without any republican support.
being impeached by the house does not mean a president is removed from office–clinton was impeached but remained in office until the end of his term.
mitch mcconnell could decide to just not hold a trial–like he decided the senate would not vote on merrick garland’s nomination, or the senate could acquit trump, like they did clinton.
the senate must have a supermajority (67 votes) to remove a president from office. this would mean 20 republicans, every democrat, and both independent senators would need to vote to convict trump. no president has ever been removed through this process.
if the senate did determine trump was guilty, he would be removed from office, in which case pence would become president. removing trump does not automatically remove other people from office.
you cannot prosecute a sitting president for a crime. trump would have to be impeached by the house and then removed from office by the senate in order to be prosecuted for anything. also, impeachable offenses are not necessarily crimes.
The constitution does not say that a sitting president cannot be indicted or prosecuted. It was a legal decision made during Watergate that has dubious merit and has never actually been tested. It would end up answered in the supreme court should an attempt be made.
True, but Trump has installed judges who agree with that belief, so it’s doubtful that the current court would help us out there.
I have to hold out hope roberts would be the swing vote(hes very concerned about the reputation of the court, reportedly hates kav, and had voted surprisingly to the left here and there), and I’m not actually 100% sure gorsuch would vote to help trump in this case as hes also voted against him a few times. Hes right wing but hes like…standard right wing lol
I literally need 30 brands of applesauce and 80 brands of cornflakes otherwise I will die
“No choice, no hope” is THE funniest way to describe not being able to pick Aquafina over Dasani
someone pointed out its explicitly a restaurant supply store, which is why it only stocks large amounts of the exact same products and mostly in large sizes - so he didn’t even walk into a supermarket in the first place
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
