Ah yes, swift boat veterans for truth, 2024 edition

It’s incredible how someone is so committed to doing the wrong thing in every situation. Next he’ll outlaw sunlight and children’s laughter.

Of course the right took a side in this lawsuit that has nothing to do with anyone besides these two.

By sheer coincidence, it’s the anti-woman side. Again and again.

No, it’s cool. The DNC is thinking about running Harris again. That is a very smart decision by very smart people and it will turn out very well

“So if you want me to be able to push back, that requires me actually going and talking with DOGE.”

No, you jagoff, it means passing legislation, which is literally your only job.

Without exaggeration, this may be the stupidest chart I’ve ever seen in my life.

A declining trend line of Musk’s spending cut promises means by end of year he’ll apparently start promising $2T in new spending by DOGE according to these geniuses.

Purely punitive. They haven’t raised the federal gas tax since 1993 or adjusted it for inflation, and the federal highway fund is set to dry up in just a few years. So in response they levy an outrageous and disproportionate tax on 2% of drivers rather than across the board.

Removing the $7,500 tax rebate, stopping the EV charging station expansion, removing emission rules, levying this tax, and then having the nerve to say it’s about “fairness.”

I own an EV, and with how little I drive, if I paid a gas tax it would be literally $25 annually for me.

The most important thing a centrist wants you to know any time they give their political opinion is how much more enlightened and intelligent they are than you.

Recession and job losses are just politics to them. They won’t face existential risk to their livelihoods.

As much as I’d like to move to Europe or elsewhere, and I seriously considered it in 2016, I found that I’d take a severe pay cut for my industry (regardless of taxes). To stay around my current compensation, I’d most likely have to stay in the western hemisphere for remote work in the US, but I also don’t think Canada is far enough away.

I also really like my house and have invested a lot into it, so selling it right now for what it’s worth will be difficult. I don’t think I’d be able to sell it before the recession hits anyway. If it’s a depression, I’ll be screwed wherever I am.

I could go someplace in East Asia, but their companies have an awful work / life balance.

But I’m widely traveled and speak a second language at a functional level, so I feel I could live anywhere if I didn’t care about my assets or maintaining my current cost of living.

It’s a tough decision. I wish my blue region could just peacefully exit the union by vote, but I know it would only bring war.

As a kid, I used to wonder while reading history books why anyone who wasn’t a Nazi would stay in 1930s Germany. I feel like I’m answering that question in real time.

I know what you mean, but it’s a given they’re gonna be evil, so the best case scenario is they’re evil and incompetent.

Congrats and you’re welcome. Hopefully countries continue to recoil from their own tin-pot dictators-in-waiting as Canada and Australia have done.

If I were as consistently incompetent at my job as they are, I’d be permanently unemployed. At this point I’m ready for the Martian ambassador to deliver a speech to a joint session of Congress.

It’s because he made a deal with Ukraine instead of mining national parks and “on the verge of war” with Iran. Also she thinks Covid vaccines should be pulled. In other words, he’s not awful enough for her.

It was 5 years between the Boston Massacre (March 1770) and the first shot of the American Revolution (April 1775).

The sit-in was useful when black people weren’t allowed to sit in the whites-only restaurant to eat. Protestors risked jail time and beatings.

The sit-in was useful when black people weren’t allowed to sit in the front of the bus. Protestors risked jail time and beatings.

What are Congressional Democrats not allowed to do? Do that instead. Risk something. Literally anything.
