He plays a mean game of dominoes, too.

 

[SpergioLeonne]

Whoa, that's fucking racist.

Let me explain something about bigotry to you.

The pentagon spend idk, a decade? Laying the groundwork to recruit thousands of actual Buffalo Bills to make agent starlings out of our enemies, and you motherfuckers have the GALL to support a secdef who claims wokeness made our military LESS LETHAL WHEN WE WERE STUFFING IT WITH AGP SERIAL KILLERS

Does anyone in the thread know if we started drilling already? I looked at commodities and oil just got nuked to 65 a barrel.

 

[Dr. Ricearoni]

Stop arguing with him. I just threadbanned him for a couple of weeks

Based, schizos get the rope

While that’s all true i meant that for the first time Bernie actually seems mad and upset. Which is new for him.

He thought he was going to get a spot in the Trump administration with the other former Democrats. He got so much good press for that. Instead, he ended up defending healthcare company bribes, and sinking even lower than before. He knows he fucked his own career and is stuck on the losing side.

It is all our business. If a woman acts like a liberal in their personal life but pretends she is a conservative, that is instantly disqualifying because it will bleed into their decisions.

Reminds me of something someone said earlier, about how during the hearing they are all part of these special interest groups but when asked they claim they will be completely neutral.

Wanted to counterbalance the Ukraine-bad news with some other perspectives and have been listening to a few youtube videos with Sarah C. M. Paine. She has some actually interesting views that aren't just simplistic moral arguments for why we should support Ukraine. Worth a listen if you have the time, think someone linked her here earlier with is how I found her.

Edit: The title says Hitler but it goes over various dictators (mainly Hitler + Imperial Japan, surprising, I know), and relates some of it to Putin's actions in Ukraine.

Sarah Paine is no dummy and I'm seeing her and rory Southerland promoted on my feed more and more.

The Saudi in their formal garb, a leader in full military formal garb.
Most world leaders wear a professional suit.
Zelinsky In a $100 tracksuit and tennis shoes.
Yeah bro this is fucking dumb.

 

[Dammit Mandrake!]

I buy a bottle of crown royal and 25% of the money spent goes to tariffs leaving only 75%. Canada uses that money to buy a bottle of Jack Daniel's and another 25% is lost to tariffs leaving only 50% of the original amount. This continues until nothing remains.

Wouldn't it be the reverse, where 25% tarriffs means a $1 item becomes $1.25, but 25% on that becomes $1.56, and then $1.92?

Uhh... aahhhmmmm... well I...

I bet they are regretting grand standing and making it illegal to protest against these judges. This would be a good way to show ACB that her AWFL positions are not as popular as all her neocons masters claim.

Dem rep and former Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner just dropped fucking dead after attending the state of the union.

That seat must be cursed if that’s the case. It was Sheila Jackson Lee’s seat as well.

does this guy have a brain thing? he's doing the Captain Jack Sparrow hand thing like he's drunk or derped

Idk but he made good points AND made the Chicago mayor look stupid so it's good with me

 

[Justin Igger]

I just tried to watch the Bernie response. Got about halfway through and stopped. He’s seething and keeps saying things that are laughably dumb. One example: he seems to be having a hard time with the “160 year olds getting healthcare“ thing. He actually said “There’s no 160 or 300 year olds out there receiving SS checks!” Yeah man we know, glad you caught up.

Also he sounds extra unhinged and has a weird distracting sibilance that makes him sound kinda like Frito from Idiocracy. He never specifically rebutted anything Trump said, it might as well have been any other video he’s ever done begging for money so he can stop the billionaires.

He also used “could care less” instead of “couldn‘t care less”. I’m embarrassed there was a time I actually used to think this guy was eloquent.

 

[Rome's rightful successor]

Behold the modern "respectable" conservative for the left.

SCOTUS just blocked Trump’s USAID funding freeze. 5-4 lmao Roberts and ACB

It's more over than previously thought possible. The only winning that's gonna happen from here on is on the Dem's side.

Will this be Trump's "Let them enforce it" moment? What even is the logic to claim that Trump needs to pay this money?

There is absolutely no way he doesn't comply.

One more basket weaving class for gay Africans before funding gets cut off.

[invisibult plus+]

TBF if we went and posted like the retards do here in their safe space threads you get a very quick threadban and dumped on hard as fuck that is the culture in many threads on this website.

Personally there is no point in "debating" with them since they aren't here in good faith 99.999% of the time and I don't care what people think of Trump I just ignore and move on since it's pointless reading reddit posts here when I could go do that on reddit.

I don’t go and shit up their threads. The least they can do is stay in their own threads, and not shit up mine. It’s that simple.

 

[nigel p poppycock]

@Gehenna, since the Freedom Caucus is being obstructive, is there something that can be done other than Musk and that other chick whose name escapes me making good on their threats to primary them?

For my money, the strangest part of the night was watching the dems go sour grapes so hard thart they couldn't even be moved for the cancer kid.

It has been a fucking *generation* since I saw optics this bad from a political party, and I'm old enough to remember Strom Thurmond.

And Trump, as ever, owns any public appearance, clowning on Congress with triumphant style. Still not fully used to a president who actively shitposts, kind of love it.

Wow, are you old. Like, really, really old.

Wait. I remember Strom Thurmond. Egad.
