“Listen, this is fox news, you’re not supposed to ask questions. I just say things and you repeat what I say, that’s how this work. I’ll get the money, it doesn’t matter.”

It’s a good thing they’re all retiring because they’re a bunch of insanely naive pathetic cowards… Oh boy oh boy you “secured” a vote where Republicans will just repeat their “no, fuck your healthcare” but in the form of a vote.

Bravo.

Instead, the Democrats settled for a promise that the Senate will vote on a bill to extend the subsidies by the end of the second week of December, with the outcome uncertain…

… Uncertain is a word used when you aren’t sure what the outcome will be.

Uncertain is certainly NOT the word to use in this situation.

Republicans in December: HAHAHAHAHAHA fuck you Dems, we vote no. Next.

It’s a failure of the system as a whole. If the rights are described as inalienable as a fact of the law then any president who tries to take those rights away should ideally be stopped by the courts.

Instead we have courts that say “hmmm it’s pretty clear they can’t do this so how can I make up some absolute nonsense to say it’s totally ok for them to do it…”

I feel like this is almost worse in a way. We grew up with the future looking bright only to have it all collapse under us… We knew what we could have had and instead were given rampant corruption, war, economic and environmental collapse, and growing authoritarianism… Fun stuff… :/

It’s one brain cell firing and reacting to a residual signal from the initial fire. The only thing that keeps it going is its own stupidity.

Trusting scientists has absolutely nothing to do with kings at all…

The last words he heard were “God works in mysterious ways, bitch.”

We all start development as deuterostomes, meaning we all start off as just an asshole and grow from there, Trump’s biological development never progressed. He’s just an asshole.

“It was a normal Tuesday afternoon until I violated the toaster, nothing was ever the same again.”

“Ok, so, yeah… We know that Trump did all these horrible things to children, but we can’t charge a sitting president because of a memo written by another corrupt Republican administration. Sorry our hands are tied! Oh we can’t impeach him either because… because fuck you that’s why. Sorry not sorry! Vote R in the midterms though! Communism! Be afraid!”

What an incredibly uncomfortable sculpture lol

Jesus looks super rapey and Kirk looks like he wants no part of what’s happening.

Sorry Kirk, but as a religious person I’m sure you know the Lord is inside of you whether you want him or not.

Thanks for the clarification! That definitely makes a lot more sense

The Trump Administration: Fuck you America. Eat shit and worship me.

Also… Isn’t the “dictatorship of the proletariat” a “necessary” part to ensure the path to communism? Wouldn’t they want this to be true?

Politics are just a different version of adult highschool drama… It’s so fucking aggravating.

There’s no win.

She say nothing/something muted: She’s so disrespectful! She couldn’t even muster up one nice thing to say about a public servant!

She says something: She’s so disgusting! He was a war criminal and an absolute piece of shit cancer on society. (facts.)

Obviously it’s not the same person saying both these things, but a potential support loss is always a calculation you need to have when saying literally anything.

Two centrists win races for governor: crickets

One socialist wins a mayorship: “OMG! THE DEMOCRATS ARE ALL COMMUNISTS!!!”

…

This is pretty much what I do with every “upper level” comment I write. It’s almost never directed at OP, it’s meant for anyone reading it.

“They’re not rocks Marie!!”

…ok, maybe some of them are, but they’re really cool!

Because Republicans have no interest in giving anything anyway. There is damage being done to people regardless, and keeping the government shut down will add to that damage. The Democrats are willing to have some of that happen temporarily, but the Republicans wouldn’t care if it went indefinitely. The Democrats seem to care about helping people so hurting people now is going against that desire, but it’s something they’re willing to do for a “greater good.” Republicans are counting on this “weakness” so they’re just going to keep saying “fuck you” until it goes too long and too many people get hurt for the Democrats to want to continue. I think the Republicans are avoiding the “nuclear option” for fear of a future use against them. It’s been their favorite tool to stop Democrats from accomplishing anything.

I see this more like “say uncle and we’ll partially stop torturing you and your family” (SNAP, government employee pay) “but we’re still kicking your genitals regardless” (healthcare) I say the Democrats will “have to” because the Republicans are perfectly fine with hurting as many people as the need to so they can keep feeding the ultra wealthy. I don’t really think public perception matters anymore, Trump never drops below a specific % of support from his cult, I don’t think Republicans have much to worry about.
