The thing about electing an incompetent buffoon to own the libs is that sometimes, you know, on occasion, it's actually kind of important for the President to be competent.
this will most likely be irreversible, btw
reminder than our nation’s leaders do not understand the importance of domestic and international institutions in maintaining global hegemony
It never stops cracking me up when people ask "why aren't kids unsupervised today like they were in the 1980s?" and older people answer "well, there was just hardly any crime then!"
There was *so much more crime* in the 1980s, you guys. You were just kids and no one told you.
The instant he lost his seat, Cassidy began standing up for things he’s known all along were right. Profiles in cowardice, through all the ranks of the GOP.
it was october 2024. the US economy was the strongest major one in the world. inflation was nearing 2%. the US economy had added over 2 million jobs that year. russia was losing in ukraine. china was rapidly falling behind the US. and 77 million morons voted to blow it all up
Trump looting almost $2 billion from the government coffers to pay his supporters is one of the largest scandals in US history.
But our press is so beaten down and the public has become so fatigued by his constant criminality that it's barely a news story.
We badly needed to reform the judiciary after the Civil War, given the role the Supreme Court played in hastening the crisis—along with the Senate & Electoral College—but we didn’t, and now here we are.
absolutely despicable. loathsome. if you supported this administration because of your concerns about "free speech" go to a monastery for a year or someting. seriously carve out some time for self-reflection. try to figure out how you were conned so badly!
Even after more than a decade of this gibbering shit, I still find myself gobsmacked at how entirely, thoroughly fucken stupid he is. And incompetent. And corrupt. But mostly stupid.
You see this kind of thing in struggling lower-income Southern households, and it tells a very specific story.
When life hasn't delivered much.... no wealth, no power, no real social standing.... some folks discover that white supremacy is basically a free membership card to a club that makes them feel superior without requiring any actual achievement.
It's the world's laziest status symbol.
The starter kit is always the same:
*A Confederate flag honoring a war their ancestors lost badly 160 years ago.
*A gun they'll never actually need.
*A Bible they've never actually read.
*And Fox News running 24/7 telling them they're REAL Americans.... unlike those fancy elitist Democrats who are secretly importing an army of replacement voters to steal their....
Their what exactly? Their Dollar General? Their 1987 Camaro on cinder blocks in the yard?
FOX found the formula, and they never let go of it: Take a man who has nothing, tell him the reason he has nothing is because those people are taking it.... and suddenly he's not a struggling nobody.
He's a soldier in a cultural war. He matters. He's relevant. He becomes a MAGA Warrior!
And THAT.... ladies and gentlemen.... is precisely how a twice-impeached, four-times-indicted, 34-time felon, bankrupt New York con man who golfs at his own resorts became the hero of the working man.
You genuinely cannot make this stuff up.
