Even better, they are using OUR money to put everyone they possibly can out of work.

Or in other words, as the cons would say - Schiff and other Democrats are extremists.

Or is he just outraged now that it’s effecting him personally?

In my anecdotal experience, this is usually the case.

It’s almost like a lot of these dumbasses have not learned about history at all.

It’s like when you hear about some trad wife finding out what her husband and pals really think of her.

And hell, Ben Shapiro could almost literally start a Jews For Hitler, oops, I mean, Trump and apparently have zero self awareness. Same goes for that dumbass Stephen Miller. Do these two really think they are going to be able to ride the tiger of what they are working to foment?

And then Candace - FFS, does she think, that, as a black woman, she’s going to be able to do the same?

Do they think empowering the worst instincts of Nat-Cs is going to end well for themselves? I mean, how delusional can you get?

Huh. I wonder if Spanky has something to hide, hmmmm?

LOL, the party of “back the blue” is…backing payments for people that assaulted police officers in one of the largest terrorist attacks in American history.

Every day is Opposite Day with PEDOnald.

And by “unfairly”, it means: completely justified and absolutely done fairly.

LOL, “handle on economy”.

That guy even said he doesn’t think about anyone’s finances. He obviously thinks about his own crime family’s finances, though.

“The economy” is doing just fantastic if you look at the wealth he’s accumulating for his family and friends. They’ve made billions, so far, in his second failed term.

Same. These people say “business man” the way some morons talk about someone being a “xtian man”.

WTF is the value in either of those things? Neither one describe anything, really, about their character or their ability to govern.

When I hear “business man”, I usually think of Carlin talking about the business man with the big smile plastered on his face, the better to position himself behind the “customer” in order to “service” them better.

That title does not need quotes around “Worst President Ever”.

He is.

Yes, that’s the more historic view. I mostly find Bill Maher incredibly exhausting, but when he points out how there is now a certain contingent that finds it so unfashionable (or worse, offensive) to be reminded that yes, things ARE measurably better in many ways for a multitude of things, I agree with him.

My parents were boomers. Both were leftists. My mother would always remind us what utter shit things used to be for women. For instance, applying for credit, or opening a bank account, without the approval of a husband or father, was not a guaranteed thing. Same thing for running a business. Then there is no-fault divorce. Not being fired only for getting pregnant. Being able to report sexual harassment.

I mean, you could probably fill a page of detailed info about how things have improved since the 1960s, just focusing on women.

It’s especially fashionable on the left to talk about how awful America has always been and so on w/o acknowledging the progress. The right, of course, views that much of that progress as a net negative…

There is always work to do, of course, but when people don’t acknowledge that improvements can and have been made, I wonder what kind of negative impact that has on those that would do that work. When you claim that things have always been terrible, the subtext could be taken as: “things will always be terrible and there’s no point in spending any effort to try to change your situation”.

They just want a strong Daddy type (or a facsimile of one, like PEDOnald, who strikes me as one of the most effete people in the public eye, but I digress. It doesn’t have to make sense to people of average+ intelligence) that tells them it’s okay to say the N-word, grab women by the pussy, burn whatever you want and cut everything down, and own the libz by rolling coal on bicyclists and sneaking meat into the diets of vegans or whatever.

That’s pretty much it.

All the other lofty rhetoric coming from conservatives is just window dressing.

Of course the donor class running the party just wants tax cuts and businesses to be completely unrestrained by law.

And by liberal media, I’m assuming you are talking about the corporate media that the conservatives all call “liberal media”.

The two terms thing is fine in some cases; I would be fine with 4 terms or more for Obama, though.

I just don’t see how arbitrarily focusing on age or term limits solves one fucking thing. We have too much money in politics. We have cases where land has more rights than actual voters. We have no ranked choice voting. And as if all that wasn’t bad enough, Republicans are actively trying to make it all worse.

I don’t see how having young douchebags in office would make it any better than old douchebags. In either case, they just do what the money says.

Talking about the age of representation is nothing but one gigantic distraction. If the voters think they are too old, by all means, they could show up to the primaries. If the voters think they have had too many terms, by all means, primary them.

I’m so glad I live in a part of the United States where I just don’t have to give a fuck about picking the “right” church and doing the “right” things there. I have to pay as much attention to that shit as I do to how much someone loves Harry Potter series vs. Star Wars.

Though apparently that is a huuuuge thing in certain parts of the U.S., notably, the South.

My view is that religion and all its little rules and rituals are for those that have adapted that lifestyle. Since I live in a secular nation, I don’t have to give two farts in a high wind about any of it.

More like The (Perversion of) Justice Department.

We already know how weaponized a computer program can be. There is not one thing that is magical about having a computer program draw districts, what matters is the algorithm and who is doing it.

I cannot tell you how many people thought that Project 2025 was just a “liberal conspiracy theory”.

I’d try to tell them it’s a PDF they can, you know, download and read, if they had any actual doubts.

Crickets. I know, the idea of getting someone to read something, never mind if they are also some winger, or a low-info non-voter or a reactionary centrist…but still.

The finding out stage.

Just what the fuck did all these assholes think they were supporting?

They are so worried about posturing as being masculine, I guess.
