CNN: "DOGE ISN'T BEING TRANSPARENT."

Clips of numerous times the press secretary has provided photographic evidence of what DOGE has found our government spending its money on.
Also let's not forget the DOGE X account that routinely posts updated information on what they're finding.


Why does CNN even exist at this point?

I think they haven't done that math and realised that the only reason why they aren't shut down already is that it's only week 4 of Trump's presidency and they're further down the list.

For some reason we have them trying to incite purity spirals against him.
HHEHHEE HAS KIDDSSSS OUT OFF WEDDLOCK DO U UUUU HATE HIM NOW?
No.

Because the Purity Spiral works, amongst themselves. And they, by default, assume it will work for everyone else. They imagine every person that leans right is a puritanical strawman with a sadistic streak, who will do what the leftist expects, become morally indignant and, naturally, admit total moral and ideological defeat. Because, of course the leftist was actually right all along, and the orange man is actually BAD! VERY BAD! Then they expect you to thank them, for they, this magnanimous leftist, has helped you see the Holy Light of Truth.

mid stoned-posting break: Okay, I took a minute to try to gin up an AI image with the prompt "ward cleaver from leave it to beaver in american psycho" for some shitpost-y imagery of what they think everyone on the right is,and it gave me this:

I giggled at it for a couple minutes.

lol that beaver looks somewhat displeased, but it ain't what I was going for.


Anyways...

"But, JustSomeDong!" you might say. "You've just constructed a strawman! You're a hypocrite! A charlatan! You need to stop smoking weed before posting!"

Well, I think my strawman is much more accurate than theirs. And I feel its more of a generalization, than a strawman. The right is far more accepting of people, even people who make mistakes, than anyone on the left. Thats the best part.

Also, Hypocrisy is human nature, and I enjoy a bowl and a warm blanket on a cold night of freezing rain. Stoney shitposting to the glow of the fake fireplace is as close as I'm going to get to a vacation until at least May.

It's from the anime One Piece. Trump is Luffy, the main character, the one with the straw hat who is chaotic good who looks goofy and no one originally took seriously yet gets results for the average person, who the world government hates because he has slowly revealed a grand conspiracy about the world. His right hand man is a character named Zoro, the guy with green hair who has three swords. He's very much of the same mentality as Luffy but more composed in how he operates. Just look at how they debate to see the similarities but difference. Trump just goes blasting away at his opponent and mocking the enemy, Vance just picks apart his opponent bit by bit in a way where you can't just hand wave it as being brash.

No, and Usopp would be a terrible fit for him. He looks like pinocchio for a reason; he's a pathological liar (though a weird amount of his stuff does seem to be proven true in some form).

We need to go back to the days where politicians resolved their disputes with fisticuffs and duels. But please let it be on camera.

That'd be worth it just to see the democrat politicians pull a reporter and start crying when they hold a dueling pistol, shaking too hard at the fear of gun to actually use it effectively.

Hell, imagine the average dem trying to use any sort of dueling blade. RFK could have slaughtered his way through confirmation by sheer virtue of "has enough fitness to hold sword".

Most of them seem to still think the hysterical fundies are still in charge of the right, like it is 2003 or something. I have posted before about how because of them, we are dealing with problems now.
The best thing the right ever did was get those retards out of any real say within the MAGA movement.
You can conserve family's without a scolding preaching asshole saying your pokemans are the devil incarnate. Have your god, but MAGA. The left have become the anti-fun side. I will advocate for the right wing not to become the same again.

They still think it’s the 2000s and Republicans are religious Boomers who hate anything impure. The Dem play-book of Late Night TV epic owns hasn’t changed even though it is a good decade out of date.

Edit: Got beaten to it by @just Reading a post

Appreciate the explanation, even if it is much more autistic than I expected.
