Check-out clerks always give me these dirty looks, but it’s nothing compared to what I get from my landlord.

Nothing wrong with watching copaganda, but paper money is an unacceptable degree of bourgeois decadence. I only ever pay for shit with quarters and dimes. Anything higher than that is reactionary and liberal.

I think they believe that presidential elections truly fundamentally transform centuries-old institutions every time someone of the other party gets in charge. That coupled with the belief that the news is absolute truth creates a perfect cocktail for chasing their own tails. The problems never went away, they didn’t even appear in our lifetimes, but the media started talking about them a decade ago after not talking about them for many, many decades, and they stopped talking about it once Biden was elected before starting again now that the old guy is back in charge. So, in the brains of these libs, racism and fascism suddenly appeared with Donald and lasted four years before disappearing for the length of one presidential term and spontaneously manifested again out of the ether in current year. Because these things never existed before Donald, right?? It’s hard to watch.

I won’t say that Trump isn’t “worse” than other presidents (though he is better than many on the grounds that they aren’t allowed to own slaves anymore), but the idea that he represents a strict and total deviation from normal american politics is just so silly. Liberalism must interfere with the neural pathways responsible for object permanence.

Liberals really just want the mask back to go back on.

Bi-curious, but you may find your preferences changing over time. Gender also isn’t an immutable quality of a person. The “straight guy who likes femboys” thing is actually very common. Straight men are attracted to femininity, not necessarily “women.”

“He deserves special gratitude from the Ukrainian and European establishments for telling the truth before things go way too far.”

Before??

Do Israelis use that silly conlang just to camouflage language like this? Extremely rich to invoke the holocaust and then unambiguously call for the most horrific genocide imaginable without even pausing for breath.

“‘The nation should not have to worry that the intelligence assessments the President receives are tainted by a Director of National Intelligence with a history of alarming lapses in judgment,’ McConnell said."

Pretty fast and loose definition of a “lapse of judgement,” there. Seems she was absolutely right about Ukraine and the other shit Mitch “criticizes” her over.

“I’m not sure what the dumbass is even trying to do in the end.”

This might be a pedestrian opinion, but I wonder if being the world’s nominally richest person isn’t enough for him, or that he at least understands how ephemeral that status actually is. His wealth is largely based on speculations of the runaway success of his “revolutionary/visionary” businesses and “innovations,” and he may be coming down from that high. Seeing as he’s not going to actually colonize mars, the hyperloop is old news, and no one wants to buy a cybertruck, Twitter didn’t pan out super well, etc, he might feel that the jig is up. Getting a foot in the door of more traditional power structures by being Donald’s sycophant and the latest MAGA darling could be his attempt to concretize his “wealth” into actual power.

Darren, if it weren’t for all the thuggish imbeciles of the world, there’d be no one to do your dirty work.

Room temperature IQ article for a room temperature IQ comment. You new here?

I’m having a little trouble with the ISIS-US connection. Got any references so I can read more?

“And the Titanic is an international symbol. It’s a symbol of love and peace, really. I mean, the movie, everyone knows the Jack and Rose story. All of us have a Jack and Rose story of our own.”

Did this guy even watch Titanic?

This is all hypothetical and speculative. What is actually happening right now? We can’t just assume without evidence that it would be the same.

I thought they were running out of money? Whatever happened to that “aid” package?

Not the communists I was referring to, and aligning with states which practices an ideology is not the same as supporting and sanctioning said ideology. He represses communism at home because he likely understand the threat they pose to his power.

Let’s be real, he is not allied with communists.

I’m pulling hard for nominative determinism.

“The ads have also used video footage of the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center, overlaid with a headline about Mangi. They demanded that Mangi share his personal views on the 9/11 attack.”

This literally happens in The Campaign. Will Ferrell’s character puts out an ad that accuses Zach Galafianakis’s character of having ties to terrorism on account of his beard and demands to know where he was on 9/11.

“Biden warns CCP robocars steal your data and send it overseas.”

CIA/NSA out here like “You can’t harvest Americans’ personal data! We already called dibs!”
