I tried asking the Interweb since it's never wrong, but I can't find it or others use a different name than 'lol-no emoji'.

I looked under emoticons, no joy either.

Found this though.

Perhaps I'm wrong, but it seems to me that you sometimes use that disagreement emoji when you don't really disagree.

I don't interpret the lol-no emoji as disagreement, more of... what the? lol-no effing way....

Ah, that explains it. I always took it more like:

A: Trump is our best POTUS ever.
B: Haha, fuck you.

Urban Dictionary

Highest rated:

A response to a statement that was so incorrect, that it was funny.

Derp: "Cows have a secret gland that makes them grow leaves on their back"
Me: "....LOLno."

That kinda splits the difference between our interpretations, okay. This matches neither of us:

1. I do not find this to be funny.

2. I do not agree that this joke is funny.

-Did you know women poop when they give birth? XD
-Lolno

This leans more towards my interpretation in definition and yours in example:

When someone pretends to laugh at a joke, but then rejects it absoloutely.

Barry:...and then there wasn't any chicken left!
Me: LOLNO

But, you may at my thoughts here . No wonder social media sucks.

You laugh, but,

Citizenship and residency

Oz was born in Cleveland, Ohio, and raised in Wilmington, Delaware. He previously lived with Lisa Oz in Cliffside Park, New Jersey for two decades. In late 2020, Oz changed his voter registration to the home of his in-laws in Bryn Athyn, Pennsylvania, where he says he pays market price rent. His website lists his home as Bryn Athyn. The Ozes also possess an $18 million estate in Palm Beach, Florida....

If he loses in Nov in PA, you're next.

Surprisingly to some, she's got a nice voice when she's "Nicole" and not playing "Snooki."

He could replace DeSantis, lil Marco, fraudster scott, or Matt and there would hardly be a difference.

Final days of Missouri Senate primaries feature controversial debutante ball, tight GOP race

Depending on the primaries in 11 days the voters have a real shot at having to choose between the KKK queen (D) and the kidnapper-rapist (R) in Nov. At the moment the kidnapper-rapist (R) is leading, but the KKK queen (D) is not.

[neoplacebo]

I'll vote for the tight debutante. She sounds promising.

I'll vote for the tight debutante. She sounds promising.

The kidnapper-rapist (R) likes her, too. That puts a different meaning to "controversial debutante ball" . Never trust a pol's promise.


Awww, the RepuQs screeching that it was a Dem, other lefty or Antifa have egg on their faces:

Investigators: Attacker ‘did not know who’ Zeldin was

A man accused of attacking New York GOP gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin during a recent campaign rally told investigators he’d been drinking that day and didn’t know who the congressman was, authorities said as the man was arrested on a federal assault charge Saturday....

Alex Lasry Drops Out Of Wisconsin Senate Race, Narrowing Democrats' Primary Field To 2
Lasry’s surprising decision comes after he loaned his campaign $12 million, and his exit solidifies progressive Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes as the front-runner.

Milwaukee Bucks executive Alex Lasry is set to drop out of Wisconsin’s Democratic Senate primary on Wednesday, sources confirmed to HuffPost ― exiting a contest he already poured $12 million of his own money into, and solidifying progressive Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes’ position as the race’s front-runner....

Johnson is unpopular in public polling, and Wisconsin is seen as one of the only opportunities for Democrats to pick up a Senate seat in a difficult midterm environment.

In the one poll that RCP lists Barnes is leading Johnson the johnson by +2.

Some Democrats, however, fear that Barnes’ positions on immigration, criminal justice and other issues will be too liberal for the Wisconsin electorate. Barnes, whose campaign has played up his working-class roots, would be the first Black person sent to the Senate from Wisconsin....

Some Democrats should STFU.

So if I can find the ad online I'll post it, but here's just how crazier the drooling moon-barking lunatics have become.
Jaime Herrera Beutler is the Congress critter for WA-3, a flukish Republican in office first elected in 2010. The District is Vancouver WA and southwest, with more Dems registered than anybody else. But she's done a decent job as Repugnants go, generally voting along with the party, but not embarrassing anybody. But she voted for Trump's second impeachment and attracted the ire of the droolers.

So the primary filled with candidates all trying to be more right wingish radical than the others. Enter Joe Kent, Trump-endorsed former green beret guy espousing all the usual America First blather and election fraud nonsense.

Here's where the crazier starts: there's a TV ad running against Kent that calls him "Socialist Joe" and claims he once agreed with Bernie on something and was (gasp) once a registered Democrat in (choke) Portland!

I love it when they eat their own.

These Republicans who impeached Trump face tough primaries on Tuesday

Three of the 10 Republicans who voted to impeach former President Trump last year face tough primaries on Tuesday, competing against Trump-endorsed challengers in crowded fields.

So far, four of the 10 have opted to retire, two have overcome primary challenges to get to November and one did not. Since leaving office, Trump has wielded his power against the Republicans he thinks crossed him.

Tuesday’s races feature two lawmakers from Washington and one from Michigan and are expected to be closely watched as yet another test of Trump’s influence with GOP voters....

Something's wrong with their tally. There were indeed 10 Republicans who voted to impeach. However, the article accounts for all 10, yet Liz Cheney's primary is on 8/16. Maybe they're already counting her as the one who didn't overcome her primary challenge. Though accurate, that would be kind of rude.

I wonder how many of the four planned to retire before crossing TRE45ON.
I wonder how the two will do in Nov. Will Trumpettes stay home (nttawwt)?

Tuesday’s three:
Rep. Peter Meijer (R-Mich.)
Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-Wash.) - SW WA, discussed above
Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-Wash.) - Central WA

Bailey wins GOP governor primary in Illinois
The conservative state senator benefitted from a Democratic meddling campaign.

Trump-endorsed state Sen. Darren Bailey earned a convincing victory Tuesday in the GOP primary for governor of Illinois, dispatching a candidate backed by the biggest donor in GOP politics amid a Democratic meddling campaign.

Bailey, a self-described “pro-life, pro-2nd Amendment” candidate, shot to the top of the polls after months of competition against former favorite Richard Irvin, the mayor of Aurora who got a massive $50 million campaign infusion from Citadel’s founder and CEO Ken Griffin.

Bailey is a well-funded candidate himself, raising $9 million from GOP megadonor Richard Uihlein. But he also benefited from tens of millions in Democratic Party advertising, with Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker and allies figuring Bailey would be the more beatable candidate to face in November....

It's risky, but as a Repub/RepuQ voter in our primary I approve of Democratic meddling. Good luck.

A little bit of sanity may be breaking out in this country between Kansas and what may be happening in Arizona.



Well, yeah.

Well, yeah.

Kansas is a righteous stomping of the RW misogynists by 18%. It may encourage pro-freedom initiatives in some red states.

Lake is now leading by 1.8% for AZ Gov! Maybe there was voter fraud, after all . Did the Dems just win Nov?

Six takeaways from Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Arizona and Washington primaries

A member of the 'impeachment 10' is defeated

Rep. Peter Meijer became the second of the 10 Republicans who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump to be ousted in a primary Tuesday, losing to Trump-endorsed conservative challenger John Gibbs, CNN projected.

Democrats played a role in boosting Gibbs -- a calculated decision that has become a flashpoint, angering some Democrats and anti-Trump Republicans.

Meijer, a freshman, voted to impeach Trump just days after taking office, after the insurrection of January 6, 2021. Gibbs, meanwhile, backed Trump's lies about widespread fraud in the 2020 election.

Meijer's loss means the Grand Rapids-based 3rd District seat will be one of the most competitive House contests in November's midterm elections.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, eyeing the seat as a possible pick-up opportunity, spent more than $300,000 on television ads seeking to bolster Gibbs with pro-Trump GOP primary voters by portraying him as a Trump-aligned conservative....

Political courage should be honored, but that's up to Republicans to do. I'm okay with stealing the seat IF that's what happens.

Unknowns in Arizona

... Blake Masters, the venture capitalist endorsed by Trump and backed by millions in spending from GOP megadonor Peter Thiel, led the state's GOP primary to take on Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly.

State Rep. Mark Finchem, a Trump-endorsed "Stop the Steal" activist who has said the state legislature should be able to overturn voters' will in presidential elections, led the GOP primary for secretary of state....

And in the attorney general's race, Trump's preferred candidate, election denier Abraham Hamadeh led.

Good for the Dems or very bad for AZ???

Dixon victory in Michigan governor's race sets up referendum on Covid policies

Tudor Dixon, the conservative commentator endorsed by Trump in the final days of the race and backed by large factions of the Michigan Republican establishment, won the state's GOP primary to take on Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, CNN projected.

The clash in Michigan could be one of the nation's most competitive governor's races.

Whitmer has cast herself as a bulwark for abortion rights in a state where Republicans have sought to enforce a 1931 law that would impose a near-total ban on abortion....

GoGretchenGo.

Progressives suffer another defeat in Michigan

Rep. Haley Stevens' projected Democratic primary victory in Michigan's newly drawn 11th Congressional District over fellow Rep. Andy Levin marks another blow against progressives in what has been a mostly disappointing primary season.

It's also a resounding victory for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, or AIPAC, and its super PAC, United Democracy Project, which has spent millions backing moderate, more staunchly pro-Israel candidates in Democratic primaries.

Stevens and Levin are both supportive of Israel, but Levin -- who is Jewish -- has been more willing to criticize its government's treatment of Palestinians and is the lead sponsor of the Two-State Solution Act.

Progressive Democrats, frequently targeted by AIPAC spending this primary season, have fumed at fellow Democrats for accepting or courting support from the group, which has also contributed to Republican election deniers. AIPAC has defended the practice, arguing that its policy goals need bipartisan support.

J Street, a liberal pro-Israel group that has clashed with AIPAC, tried to boost Levin with a $700,000 July ad buy, but that sum paled in comparison to the millions bundled by AIPAC and more than $4 million spend by UDP.

AIPAC is anti-Jew.

Ever since Eric Greitens came out with his stupid ass video touting his "RINO hunting license" I've been sending him hate email. Most of it calls him a fascist shithead, a brain addled trump junkie, and just a general dumbass. I've also teased about "can't you find any women or kids to beat up on, asshole?" stuff. Anyway, this morning.....approx four hours after my last missive, I got an email that tells me "continued harassment will result in a block." Well, after I got through laughing I fired off another blast explaining how calling out fascist assholes as fascist assholes is NOT harassment. I went on to explain that our country fought a war against fascist assholes back in the 1940's and asked him why he hates America. I suppose I'll be blocked and double blocked for my impertinence. Fuck those guys.

You unnerved him to the point of losing, but that may hurt the Dems in Nov.
