[Blake Chortles]

I get irrationally angry when I go into the dollar store and most everything is 1.25.

you make me wonder what the prices are like in the 100¥ shops.

Trump vs Hillary 2?

I like Trump these days, and would vote for him again but...that rematch just makes me want to fucking drink myself to death.

With Bleach.

Trump vs Hilary and drinking bleach takes me back to 2016. Can we please go back to that year? It was fun.

 

[BubbleButt]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, those 1/6 assholes didn't go far enough.

The only good politician is a dead one

Fuck if the ending's the same, I'd be for it.

But Hillary is polling at near Kamala levels now aka "Trump+10 nationwide". She is done.

Does polling matter at all if 300,000 ballots are found at 2am in every swing state for the preferred candidate?

Speaking of 1/6. Mike Pence has been talking some big shit lately; not ruling out a '24 or some nonsense. He is the reason for all of this.

Pence is the Alpha and this admin will be the Omega.

Yes, because if Trump wins the national vote by any amount, it will mean he wins every state in 2016 + Nevada easily plus a lot more states are on the table, like Virginia or Minnesota.

They tried to steal Texas in 2020 for fucks sake. They just couldn't because the margin was too high to cheat their way to victory there. They need elections close for them to be "stealable."

Talk about a man who can't read the room.

 

[mandatorylurk]

Never forget what these fags deliberately didn't do. It isn't just them stopping Trump because he was an outsider, it's that the things Trump wanted were so cheap by government standards you sign off on them to shut Trump up and both sides are happy. Mega faggots.

One of our first main fuckups was making it a profitable career path to be a politician. People who want to genuinely benefit the nation should be in charge more than people who want money and power.

Well, they can steal to any degree. Getting away with it is the trick, isn't it? It's a brinkmanship game with a civil war at the end of it.

Thus saith Tolkien:

the most improper job of any man, even saints (who at any rate were at least unwilling to take it on), is bossing other men. Not one in a million is fit for it, and least of all those who seek the opportunity.

There can never be enough emphasis on the "servant" part of "public servant".

that's practically impossible. It's almost impossible having a person charged with guarding an inexhaustible treasure chest to not want to take a little off the top. Even if you're the most incorruptible person you get worn down through prolonged exposed temptation.

That's kinda ironically why politicians from wealthy backgrounds tend to be the most incorruptible.

 

[George Floyd Sneed]

Not that I don't absolutely despise Joe Biden but recent events have shown beyond a reasonable doubt that he's not in charge. Biden is a corporate boomer of the profit before everything variety and the recent actions around oil/energy policy are pure extinction rebellion millennial climate cult shit.

He's a puppet and someone or someones are pulling his strings.

My job involves working with government agencies at a senior level and the Biden administration is without a doubt the most ideological administration I’ve ever dealt with and my experience started with Dubya.

Obama’s administration was neoliberals pretending to be progressives (until the final couple years); with Biden’s administration it’s progressives pretending to be neoliberals. Lots of senior staffers and advisors who are pedal to the metal on every pozprog initiative you can think of. They live by Rahm Emanuel’s quote about never letting a crisis go to waste where every setback is them doubling down.

It’s truly remarkable. There are entire divisions of government that are unable to do much of anything because it’s chock full of ideologues who have never handled real responsibility before. The Department of the Interior is an example. Deb Haaland is shockingly inept at her job, unsurprisingly.

It's one of the easiest cabinet positions, too. There is a lot that needs doing, but it's relatively simple. Well, for anyone who isn't blinded to reality and causality by Post-Modern theory.

I still like how the BIA is still under the Department of the Interior, and still called the Bureau of Indian Affairs, with literally no one expressing outrage that they're using antiquated terminology or tacitly implying that the Indian tribes ate still part of the landscape.

It's almost like beyond "acknowledging your on stolen land" (even if you're sitting on land reclaimed from the sea), progressives don't actually give a shit about Indians.

 

[Hollywood Hitler]

Holy fucking shit, paying about $200 to fill up the tank each time? I guess I just won't be leaving the house unless I can find some carpoolers around here.

If I'm feeling it, most others will be feeling it as well. No one is gonna forget about paying fucking $200 for a tank of gas every fillup. Something will have to give.

People said I was crazy when I invented a car that ran on the blood of beaurocrats and politicians. Now, at the rate things are going, I will be a billionaire by Friday.

 

[HandsomeDan]

Biden gets lost and can't find the exit.

I cant laugh at this shit anymore. This is pathetic.

The price of gas is a noticeable increase now and I have to drive alot, distances much further than any electric car can make it. And on top of all of this I am in the group that pays enormous taxes with nothing in return.

Curse all of them directly to Hell.

Real Indians and I mean tribal ones not the one sixty fourth on my mothers side types are fairly stoic and isolationist. They don't seem to have an affinity for forming racial grievance organizations and attacking white Americans like other minority groups do.
