This got me laughing.

'I Don't Care, I'll Say It' - Trump Drops Biden Bombshell On Live TV​

Yea... This is Trump talking.

Dude I love using gold as a benchmark, like “what did a horse cost in 1642 in gold vs today in gold”.

ME TOO

I love the fact that the cost of a real suit in gold never changes

Aren't you the dumb fuck who posted in Q&A under the impression that Vance would have to get elected President if Trump died in office?

I don't think anybody needs to waste thought on your opinions on US politics.

Yeah, I don't like her delivery. She sounds like a middle school teacher. Then again, I have a bias.

The people she's speaking to absolutely deserve it, and can't handle anything more sophisticated than being treated like children.

It's amazing how the Bidens just folded, they aren't even putting up any defense of their sham of a term, not even the media protects them. Have they been so infected with Bush-era neocons they're pretending the "be quiet and stoic" routine will actually work 20 years later? Faggots.

I think it’s funny how Hillary can’t let go, too. Like every couple of months she puts out feelers and gets told to fuck off again

Initially I thought this was a dumb idea because there is no way that DOGE can read 2 million emails, but then I remembered that feds are retarded.

It really is very thoughtful and considerate of these people to just leap right up into the boat to spare DOGE the effort of baiting the hooks.

i can understand that mindset. but having it personally brings me no joy. ive been in positions before where i had no clue where my meal would come from. no clue if id have a roof over my head. i am incredibly empathetic to a human in those circumstances, despite me thinking their ideology is generally evil.

maybe you're empathic because you were in those circumstances. obviously you can't expect the same from a sheltered suburban government worker whose only hardship was not getting the right parking space.

hardship builds character after all.

I'm honestly pissed off.

It's been a month.

Where's the EO bringing back five dollar footlongs and/or McDonald's snack wraps?

Where's the EO mandating that radio stations play the second verse of "Money for Nothing"?

Behold.
They're also bringing back the Selects without calling them Selects.

As a factory worker who lives with a factory attendance policy, I have nothing but glee at the thought of these people’s free ride being taken away

We say it as a meme, but it really was supposed to be her turn. She called in all the favors, she had the backing of the DNC, MSM, and was up against a meme canadate. But on election day she some how got out maneuvered by a guy with zero experience in politics. I don't blame her for not letting shit go, in her head she was heir to the throne and was destined to be the first female president. Not to mention she was very hands on and had an agenda in mind she wanted to push.

The deepest of state candidates groomed for presidency in the same way Obama was, the next diversity box to tick as a frontrunner was needed and she had both the credentials and the right happenstance of genetics.

dude, good people don't end up on death row.

They are there because they've committed horrible crimes. I say we should give them the same kind of death they gave to their victims. Fuck a soft and "dignified" way out, they took someones life in a violent and most likely brutal manner and should be treated as such.

I used to be dead set against the death penalty, i thought it was wrong for some vaguely Christian reason, why should we turn into killers just because they killed or some halfbaked moral faggotry. Then I kept seeing why they were on the death penalty and it was mostly like; guy killed his mom and dad and fucked the corpse, or burned his friend alive when they were in a drugged out haze, or beat someone to death for eating his fruit cup out of the work fridge. Never seen a single case of someone that didn't deserve to get put to death.

I have a hard time deciding whether democrats just have latent pedophilic tendencies or their elected representatives truly are that retarded and lost in their own sauce with regards to teen pregnancy harm prevention

Just a tip:

Stop giving these people the benefit of the doubt.

These people are demons that straight up don't care if children is endangered.

I think more than the dnc leaks or her private email server scandal or any other misfortune, the one major thing that cockblocked her was this video:

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Two prominent San Francisco buildings may be on President Trump's chopping block.
The White House is looking to sell the Nancy Pelosi Federal Building on 7th Street and the century-old building at 50 United Nations Plaza.
The Trump administration says it will save money by avoiding maintenance on the buildings, selling the properties, then leasing office space for federal workers.
Former Congresswoman Jackie Speier says it's just about vengeance.

"It's another example of how he is coming after Democrats. He's coming after California, and it's all about payback," Speier said, noting that the sales wouldn't make sense.
"The lease will keep going up and you will end up paying the property taxes of the lessor, whereas you don't pay federal taxes when you are a federal government," she said.
Also targeted is a federal building in San Bruno that stores national immigration archives.
The building is named after Congressman Leo Ryan who was killed during the Jonestown massacre in 1978.

The building was dedicated to Nancy Palosi a few months ago in December of 2024.

Initially I thought this was a dumb idea because there is no way that DOGE can read 2 million emails, but then I remembered that feds are retarded.

This is another one of those things that ties in with the "I didn't know people hated the Feds this much!" and it's because of how out-of-touch they all seem.
I understand they intentionally chose government jobs so they could have stability, I get that, but things like keeping a list of stuff you accomplished in a week? That's... normal. That's just a normal thing to do these days for most jobs. It doesn't have to be huge, it doesn't have to be "Hey, justify your job." but the fact these people are SO dumbfounded is alienating to the rest of us.
For god's sake, Amazon has their drivers wearing ankle monitors now, your average feddesk should be able to at least say 5 things.
The janitor can say 5 things. Why can't the person who makes 5x his salary?

They're telling each other to NOT send the email or to send jokes instead of serious replies:

Elon musk for president
I don't give a shit if it's unconstitutional or not
He just fired every single redditor in the federal government.
That alone BTFOs the sacrifices of many saints.

Seemed like they planned to retcon real events as they happened by gaslighting people with a tv show starring one of the few good black actresses.

What would be hilarious is if they try to use this show as a For All Mankind-like "this is how the world would be so much better if you voted the right way" alternate reality, only to be super our of touch in their attempts to convincingly portray life better under Harris.

Zero Day

It was reported in November 2022 that Eric Newman, Noah Oppenheim, and Michael Schmidt had conceived of the story, with Newman and Oppenheim writing the pilot script
