It is very entertaining. I couldn't take it seriously after the crypto meme stuff. What's even funnier is that the left has been largely inept at capitalizing on this. It has truly become a retard circus for everyone involved.

Seeing newfags engage with site memes in earnest will never stop being fun.

 

[Not Really Here]

Are they even still relavent?

The church of First Amendment lawyers won. It's your God given American right to wave 'God Hates Fags' at the funeral of a serviceperson, no matter how distasteful.
They pushed the right of free speech beyond hating fags, thus protecting our right to call TiM rapist faggots, troons.

That just means he must notify them. Where does it say that the funds must be spent?

Every Congressional spending act.

Is it a meme? Then I guess I didn't know. But I'll say if you are taking this administration seriously despite the repeated public embarrassments, then that is probably more pathetic than not understanding a meme.

Idk, If Trump is anything he's definetly not a "Come from behind" kinda guy

When he was always talking about “greasing” the union, who knew that’s what he meant...

Think about it the sudden weight loss? AIDs?!

I found it endearing. Do you have a habit of assuming that people think you're pathetic?

Tip to future drive-by shitposters and feds alike: stop being so thin skinned. It's unbecoming.

Every Congressional spending act.

Oh? Where?

 

[Not Really Here]

Every Congressional spending act.

Moving past the fact your cite implies the President can actually do it, we use Continuing Resolutions so constituents don't get mad at Congress for passing shitty spending Act's.

Truthfully, I interpreted your comment as more aggressive than it actually was. You might say that I misunderstood your intentions. No need to make a habit out of foolishness.

I don't know why but Sanders voters are like the ones I enjoy making fun of the most

It’s because everyone said Trump was just running to get rich and he would scam his voters and drop out. And instead of Trump doing that, Bernie has done it twice now. They’re the biggest marks in political history

 

[Prester John]

Didn't he ban bump stocks?

Clinton signed the Federal Assault Weapons Ban.

Anti Trump protesters argument:

1. War should keep on going (Peace = Fascism)
2. Everything he does and say is Fascism
3. Everything he does and say is Nazism
4. Everything he does and say is Dictatorship
5. We need illegals because we dont want to hurt our LatinX citizens feelings since LatinX people are all illegals.
6. We need men in women's sports because they have a right to identify as women
7. Trans and Queer people are more important than LGB
8. Palestine have a right to rape and kill everyone because they hate Jews.
9. Queers for Palestine because Palestinians and us Trans are the same.


Basically, any normal people listen to them for just 1 minute can deduce that these protesters are not good people. and extremely detached from reality.

Don't forget that they think the bureaucracy is a holy institution and that the buildings in DC are sacred and should never be harmed (unless you're black).

Can this fat orange fuck please just sit on his ass and play golf for the next four years. Don't even go in the white house. I'm so tired of the news cycle and reading about what stupid shit he's said or done this time.

I don't know why but Sanders voters are like the ones I enjoy making fun of the most. Even the comments on that thread are talking about how stupid of an idea that is given how old he'll be. Won't stop him from asking for khantributions.

To be an effective politician, you need to have at least some capacity to bullshit effectively.

Bernie has never done any real work in his life, while being virtually unable to grift the majority of his retard kabuki theater "career".

Fucking call center poojeets have a better game than a South Park sounding kike who has a seizure every time he raises his voice.

 

[Buck Broken Chimp]

The Israel lobby wants to cancel the largely ceremonial press secretary for the pentagon for being principled in her America first stance saying Israel should fight their own wars.

 

[Justin Igger]

JC’s dad hit like the mega giga hood lotto. It sucks that it is all over now. If he wants more gibsmedat he’s gonna have to troon him out

 

[tehpope]

When you become a naturalized US citizen, you swear an oath to renounce all foreign loyalties.

Ban dual citizens from public office.

Cool it with the Antisemitism.

 

[HodgePodgeRogerDodger]

Can't fuck kids until oppressive structures of hetero normative morality are deconstructed and re imagined.

You do understand that commies kind of forget that the Greeks said it’d be ideal if children were raised communally, but no parent would ever allow it nor should they. I think some Jews in a kibbutz tried it and most of the people raised like that hated it @Catch The Rainbow might know more.

Not gonna lie, former Trump supporter here. It's fucking hilarious watching him crash and burn. But in all seriousness we can't let him get his hands on the nuclear codes.

I’m more worried about Vance using the nuclear football like a kill streak in Halo.

Political poll news site 538 to close amid larger shuttering across ABC and Disney
Disney is reportedly cutting staff across ABC News Group and its entertainment network as media layoffs continue

The popular political poll news and analysis website, 538, is being shut down as part of a broader shuttering effort across ABC News and Disney Entertainment, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday night.

Disney is reportedly cutting 200 positions across ABC News Group and Disney Entertainment Networks, including shutting down the data-driven 538.

The ABC news magazine shows 20/20 and Nightline are to be consolidated into one program, resulting in further job cuts, sources told the Journal. The closing of 538 means an additional 15 employees will be let go.

Other changes include all three hours of Good Morning America branded shows being combined into a single production team, and Disney Entertainment Networks unit, which hosts broadcast networks and cable channels such as Freeform and FX, will see staffing reductions in program scheduling and planning.

A source told the Journal that the layoffs represent just under 6% of the combined staff at ABC News and Disney Entertainment and will be announced to employees as early as Wednesday.

FiveThirtyEight, which is named after the number of electors in the US electoral college, has become a popular website for predictions, analysis and watching the polls in the months and days leading up to election night.

But the website’s workforce had been slowly dwindling for a couple of years. The 15 employees still with the outlet make up less than half of the team from 2023, when it had about 35 employees.

The decline began when 538’s founder, Nate Silver, left the company two years ago when his Disney contract expired.

In a post on X, Silver expressed his disappointment with the website closing down, writing: “My heart goes out to the people there. They were tremendously hard-working and produced a lot of extremely valuable data and insight for everyone who wants to understand politics better. They deserved much better.”

Maggie Koerth, a science journalist formerly with 538, expressed similar sentiments in a Bluesky post. “FiveThirtyEight was such a wonderful place to work, filled with some of the most supportive, creative, and thoughtful coworkers a person could ask for,” she wrote.

“Most of us were laid off in 2023, but the remaining staff deserved (and deserve) better,” she added.

The broader media landscape has been hit with mass layoffs seemingly nonstop for months. Last month, MSNBC announced a massive shakeup at the network that included letting go of Joy Reid and her production team, as well as no longer using the Spanish-language network Telemundo.

it’d be ideal if children were raised communally

Would an orphanage be considered communal raising?
