What does "a hit dog will holler" refer to?

Never heard it until Gillum said it. He's kind of country.

I've heard "dogs don't bark at parked cars" and "if you throw a rock at a pack of dogs the hit one will holler"

Yeah. That's a great way to put it. It puts DeSantis and his ilk in a tough spot. They have to claim their associates and supporters aren't racist which won't help with non-racist Republicans or just ignore it which will hurt with Independents.

It’s also an accurate assessment. Just like trump. It doesn’t matter that much whether or not he’s a racist. It matters a lot that racists love the guy.

Eagles are currently 3-4. Probably due to lack of diversity.

Ballot Applications in Georgia, and Senate and House Latest: 12 Days to Go

Fears of voter suppression were again ignited in Georgia on Thursday after state Democratic officials said that more than 4,700 vote-by-mail applications were missing in DeKalb County, one of Georgia’s most populous and liberal-leaning regions.

County officials acknowledged the missing applications in a phone conversation this week with Democratic voter protection officials, and pledged to call the thousands of voters to inform them of the error, according to multiple people familiar with the conversation.

If Brian Kemp isn't cheating, he is really bad at his job.

I'm sure after the people who had their ballots go missing get a call, Trump will be ready with a handy tweet about threatening a felony conviction for anyone who votes twice. If Abrams wins, he may even try to cast doubt on the result by claiming people took advantage of the confusion to vote twice.

would not vote simply for using the phrase "on the starting team."

The Eagles did have a Jew on their team for a couple of years- Jeremy Bloom (brother of Molly Bloom, Molly's game)

[ImTheCaptain]

is 'starting team' not acceptable parlance?

is 'starting team' not acceptable parlance?

it's kinda weird imo. Usually you'd just say starters or starting 5/11 depending on the sport.

Interesting set of maps and tweets from Micah Cohen at 538.

Depends on the time of the month, on the right map, the red builds up again every few weeks.

I'm actually really surprised that the only women map is as red as it is. One of the basic tenets of the Republican party is to keep women from having equal opportunities and equal voices.

Don't get too distracted by spatial coverage, if only women voted Dems would have a 115 seat majority in the house. Plus, those women in the red areas love other people fetuses more then them selves.

And some women prefer that because their men powerful.

Oh I understand the spatial aspect, my home district is KS-04, which is roughly 75% of the whole state. I honestly meant that 160 districts going to Republicans with only women voting seemed high.
