Damn, this made an otherwise shit day actually feel better . Truly uplifting news and a big fat Death to AmeriKKKa and everyone else who targeted and tortured him for the crime of exposing their atrocities to the world.

Same. My friends and I had a big laugh over the resurrection of Paul Bearer.

Oh well still hilarious.

Edit: Oh my god, now I’m going through his account and there are some amazing works in there. 10/10 bit.

In addition to just doing the “but Trump’s cognitive decline!!” bit, there’s also a ton of “I’m forgetful too and I’m only 38!” or “let’s cut the guy some slack! Watch his SOTU speech and tell me he’s got cognitive decline!” which is just…yeah.

“The Emperor’s New Clothes” is an instruction manual for these freaks.

This thread could’ve been its own post here imo. Just too good.

“Technically, they only had a 72-day working majority, sweaty. What did you expect them to get done? Don’t you know how long it took to get the ACA passed? Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of good!”

“Y’all there weren’t 60 pro-choice senators in 2009. There still aren’t, but there weren’t then, either, so I don’t know what you wanted from them.”

“The president is not a king no matter how much you Bernie Bros want it to be true!”

Like I really don’t want to hand it to the guy, especially in a hypothetical, especially because he is an incompetent fascist, and especially because I’m sure we’d have invariably wound up in the same place as we did under Brandon before long because the orphan crushing machine would have eventually been given more orphans to crush regardless of who was president. But there is no doubt in my mind that plenty of hogs would’ve cast their “closely held” beliefs about the nanny state aside in 2020 if the Trump White House even feigned some kind of support for taking better precautions (or just appealing to the racist heart of Amerikkka by framing it as a “protect American patriotism from the elusive China flu!!!”) instead of coming around to side with the plague rats. That’s countless lives that could’ve been saved in the process.

If the Dems still won control of Congress in 2020 I imagine they’d have become the ones reflexively acting to curtail second-term Trump’s attempts to end pandemic aid or the moratoriums, and might’ve even cared about pushing for upgraded ventilation, better testing and tracking infrastructure, remote work policies, and additional stimulus checks. It’d be funny if something good happened in this country as a result, simply because the Dems were actually engaged in harm reduction over the cheeto winning re-election. Instead they just became a new wave of plague rats under their own incompetent fascist.

He was also toast before he got the shot in the arm that was all of the other Reagan Democrats dropping out simultaneously except and we were ordered to treat the Jim Clyburn endorsement and SC primary win as if it decided the whole election. Right before all this the man was talking about leaving record players on for kids at night to help them learn, saying he didn’t care about young people’s issues, saying he’d veto M4A, and getting chewed out by his eventual VP pick for being a segregationist.

I’m still convinced that if Trump started selling cloth “Keep America Great” masks on his campaign website or worn one around for a few days he would’ve won.

Polls only have utility when they’re confirming my biases or proving how dogshit Amerikkka is, otherwise I will make up a reason to dismiss them!

On politics the Brandon fart-huffers keep saying “Biden is doing what most Americans want” on the border and then posting polls to prove it. Simultaneously, if there’s any mention of his approval ratings or his chances of winning reelection, then all polls are fundamentally flawed and should not be trusted because the only people who ever participate in them are old fogeys with landlines.

Which way, Brandon Bros?

Well sweaty, when they get help from their buddies China, Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, and North Korea, suddenly there’s more than enough resources to destroy the entire western world by creating divisions between us

I love how this basically gives up the game that the only real activism these people believe in is voting.

Like we know you’re not going to be fighting for us; you never have before!

The “if this were Trump doing this” thing is touching the Earth’s inner core at this point but we’d never hear the end of it if he were the one with nothing but donation links and a merch shop on his website.

HOOOOWWWW does this asshole still not have a single issue or policy listed on his campaign website?! Like, not even anything about first term accomplishments. Not even some vague building back better bullshit. Not even anything promoting his own fucking party which he’s the leader of. It’s ridiculous.

Meanwhile Trump’s website has a full spread, including a “mission” page and two types of issues pages, plus a “news” page where some of the “stories” are just dunks on Brandon.

Huh, so there were! I guess I forgot all about them, especially since I saw those earlier on, then the destruction escalates quickly. I had just assumed there were only the skibidi toilets and camera people, and they were foolishly destroying their own cities and world doing this arms race (and with the skibidi toilets resisting some form of oppression).

Just scrolling past the thumbnails of the last 15 or so episodes…yeesh. Much clearer to me now. I think I’m glad I haven’t caught up.

Damn it really do be like that, don’t it? I never even considered the Skibidi universe had humans in it, either. What a horrible world

Wait, they are? I thought the camera people were the bad guys lol. Always viewed the skibidi toilets like an insurgency fighting a repressive surveillance state backed by an evil empire. Full disclosure: haven’t watched any vids since last fall so maybe there’s something I missed.

Atlantic Ocean to Florida:

Now he’s back in the US working for Amtrak on high speed rail, but haven’t heard much about his progress since he started last year beyond corridor studies (and I know he’s once again been handed a pretty shit deal, since HSR wasn’t a funding priority in Amtrak Joe’s vaunted infrastructure bill).
