But he sanctioned four settlers for a few days! He’s big mad!

Also love how all the talk of the totally real arms embargo set to trigger after the election has pretty much disappeared from all public consciousness. Like, wouldn’t now be a good time to prove that you’re the “harm reduction” party? Guess we’ll find out in one day…

Liberals oppose every war except the current one, etc.

I have no doubt they’d find a way to square that circle in their minds. “Cheney might not be perfect, but we have to stop Palin from being one heartbeat away from the presidency!!!”

We really don’t have to hand it to him, but honestly, whether we go by the actual context of his ramblings or the one libs keep dreaming up, it shouldn’t matter when these murderous creeps are involved. Send the Cheneys and Boltons to the front or send them to the wall. Either way, justice will have been done.

we know less about it than they do

Well that’s all depressing to learn, and (unfortunately) it makes sense

Thank you for the explanation comrade!

Possibly dumb question: couldn’t all of the countries that voted in favor just reinstate trade with Cuba anyway? If the US tries to swing its dick around, refer those saps to the infallibility of the international rules-based order, the UN charter, and threaten to cut off trade with the evil empire should it continue endangering the free movement of goods. It would be funny, likely effective, and well deserved, especially at a time where US soft power is already waning. Feel like we have a lot more to lose than most of these other nations if we tried enforcing our delirious terms on them.

ETA: Of course, I mean the larger, industrial nations with large trade networks; I can certainly understand how/why a smaller country who relies a lot on US imports/exports don’t want to set off the bloodthirsty burger empire.

Man how much lower can this worm dig? Almost glad he never had a shot to sit on the genocide king’s throne.

Sorry people aren’t as willing to abandon their morals and fall in line for a pyrrhic political ghoul as you, Bernie.

Personally I’d prefer if the campaign and party that keeps caterwauling over how much more rational, composed, and committed to truth they are than Trump would stop acting like Trump in both word and deed. It would really make their deranged, existential fears about “democracy” being “under attack” seem more credible.

Tbh my immediate thought was “oh that’s perfect. This is probably how the Harris team is formulating positions on everything irl” before laughing at what was actually at the bottom of the board.

Hmm, weird. This doesn’t sound like an explanation of actions that an oppressed people could take against their oppressors.

Want to try that again?

Do an experiment, Einstein! Grace us with your genius! I’m sure he would’ve come up with a good reason to tut-tut the prisoners in the Warsaw Ghetto for capturing a few Nazi “civilians.”

and ignore the yapping mutts.

Promise?

Damn, this made an otherwise shit day actually feel better . Truly uplifting news and a big fat Death to AmeriKKKa and everyone else who targeted and tortured him for the crime of exposing their atrocities to the world.

Same. My friends and I had a big laugh over the resurrection of Paul Bearer.

Oh well still hilarious.

Edit: Oh my god, now I’m going through his account and there are some amazing works in there. 10/10 bit.

In addition to just doing the “but Trump’s cognitive decline!!” bit, there’s also a ton of “I’m forgetful too and I’m only 38!” or “let’s cut the guy some slack! Watch his SOTU speech and tell me he’s got cognitive decline!” which is just…yeah.

“The Emperor’s New Clothes” is an instruction manual for these freaks.

This thread could’ve been its own post here imo. Just too good.

“Technically, they only had a 72-day working majority, sweaty. What did you expect them to get done? Don’t you know how long it took to get the ACA passed? Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of good!”

“Y’all there weren’t 60 pro-choice senators in 2009. There still aren’t, but there weren’t then, either, so I don’t know what you wanted from them.”

“The president is not a king no matter how much you Bernie Bros want it to be true!”

Like I really don’t want to hand it to the guy, especially in a hypothetical, especially because he is an incompetent fascist, and especially because I’m sure we’d have invariably wound up in the same place as we did under Brandon before long because the orphan crushing machine would have eventually been given more orphans to crush regardless of who was president. But there is no doubt in my mind that plenty of hogs would’ve cast their “closely held” beliefs about the nanny state aside in 2020 if the Trump White House even feigned some kind of support for taking better precautions (or just appealing to the racist heart of Amerikkka by framing it as a “protect American patriotism from the elusive China flu!!!”) instead of coming around to side with the plague rats. That’s countless lives that could’ve been saved in the process.

If the Dems still won control of Congress in 2020 I imagine they’d have become the ones reflexively acting to curtail second-term Trump’s attempts to end pandemic aid or the moratoriums, and might’ve even cared about pushing for upgraded ventilation, better testing and tracking infrastructure, remote work policies, and additional stimulus checks. It’d be funny if something good happened in this country as a result, simply because the Dems were actually engaged in harm reduction over the cheeto winning re-election. Instead they just became a new wave of plague rats under their own incompetent fascist.

He was also toast before he got the shot in the arm that was all of the other Reagan Democrats dropping out simultaneously except and we were ordered to treat the Jim Clyburn endorsement and SC primary win as if it decided the whole election. Right before all this the man was talking about leaving record players on for kids at night to help them learn, saying he didn’t care about young people’s issues, saying he’d veto M4A, and getting chewed out by his eventual VP pick for being a segregationist.

I’m still convinced that if Trump started selling cloth “Keep America Great” masks on his campaign website or worn one around for a few days he would’ve won.
