I’m still pissed off at Democrats in the Senate that pulled that very thing to end the shutdown less than a week after big election wins last month. Republicans were starting to crack under pressure and those fuckers conspired to give their leverage up for nothing, but in a way to not expose Schumer and anyone running in 2026.

I’ll never be one to argue “both sides” but holy fucking shit was that a letdown. That was a McConnell type play. If they’re gonna be sneaky schemers, I wish they’d do it on behalf of the voters and not their donors. At this point, they’ve got to be aware that, if their negligence destroys the economy and the country enough, that they have much more to lose than we do. I’m much closer to broke than I am to being a millionaire (let alone billionaire), so if my cash becomes toilet paper, I’ll power through on spite alone from knowing that their mountain of toilet paper drags them down to our level. But unlike me, they’ll be one of a select few with targets on their backs for betraying we the people.

Holy mother forking shirt balls…

Yeah, no shit. He was trying to saturate the media with this accusation tied to Dems so that it looks like petty retaliation when he’s credibly accused of it. “See? Both sides!” And people ignore it because they’re tired of the topic. So he gets away with another scandal.

Trump is a fucking moron, but his handlers are smart enough to know how to control the media and therefore most people’s attention spans.

That thumbnail is nauseating. It’s like a wrinkly suede women’s glove smeared with the “cheese” powder from a box of mac and cheese.

I don’t think that that’s a hot take. If we’re listing people who would’ve done better than Biden in that debate, just about every living person and perhaps a few dead ones could’ve gotten over that absurdly low bar.

We need everybody to fucking vote in the primary so we can put somebody better on the ballot for the general election. I don’t want to be forced to choose between newsom and vance or desantis or noeme or whoever they run. I’m glad he’s willing to get dirty in his fighting back, but he still just sucks so much.

We are a very niche group. This product will appeal to a lot of people who aren’t here, but also to some who are. In the end, this will be good for PC gaming as a whole, and it will probably either hurt Microsoft or inspire them to make some serious changes. I’m betting that this also makes people a little more curious about their hardware and software. The steam deck proved to me that leaving windows could be pretty simple and not a downgrade. I’ve been looking to build my own steam machine ever since, and now I might not need to depending on the price.

I built my first PC in 2009. You’re right that it isn’t very hard, especially now with resources like what you linked plus videos on YouTube. But not everybody is interested in tinkering like that. There’s research to be done to even know what half this shit means. Your average gamer hasn’t built a PC and doesn’t know AMD from Intel. Younger people these days tend to expect something quick and easy, so they’ll be more likely to buy something prebuilt. People 35ish+ these days tend to be too busy working multiple jobs and/or school and/or managing homes, so they’ll be more likely to buy something that just works when they get an hour to spare.

It’s getting to be exceedingly rare for a person to have the knowledge necessary AND time AND money to build and troubleshoot a modern PC.

As somebody who probably could do it, I might still just buy a steam machine. Because I don’t need cutting edge shit and I just want to sip on whiskey and relax, not have yet another fucking project on my hands. My laptop is old and dying, and I’m looking for a reason to not buy a PS6. This would cover both.

Nazis don’t believe in their own bullshit. They just like having excuses. But normal, everyday people who aren’t paying much attention will see us spread bullshit and say “gee, I guess both sides really are the same” and decide to not get involved. The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.

Hammer the facts.

Even that is ceding an important point. Since when is drug running punishable by death? And since when is that executable without trial? And since when do we have the authority to enforce that outside of our territory?

Imagine Saudi Arabia bombing Americans in boats in the Caribbean and claiming that it’s because they were bringing bourbon to their country. That’s how ridiculous this is.

If he died in his sleep on live TV in the middle of these cabinet meeting tugjobs, there would still be people who believed that the Clintons killed him, but it would be way fewer than otherwise.

I hope Joe Biden outlives him. Just to spite everybody who said that Biden was too old and senile but never pointed that same criticism at their old and senile blob.

Spreading lies muddies the water. If they prove that some of what’s said about them is bullshit, then it invites questioning the veracity of the actual problems that we haven’t made up. Oversaturation of information along with some unknown amount of lies makes people say fuck it, idk what to believe, and then they tune out.

Any info on that? I think there’s plenty of real shit out there that we don’t need to make things up to criticize them over, so I’d rather not spread this without any kind of corroboration. She seems like a regular conservative ghoul who sucks at art but wants to be famous for acting and singing, and failing that she’ll try to be a hot podcaster, and failing that she’ll be a trad wife to a bonafide party member.

But surely it’s just a total coincidence that every non Republican who voted yes is not up for reelection in 2026, right? /s

I’m in VA. Tim Kaine voted yes. I’ve messaged him demanding an explanation and that coward fuckface piece of shit still hasn’t responded. I contacted my other Senator, Mark Warner, and asked him to publicly denounce Kaine’s vote or else I would be supporting a primary opponent. He gave a bullshit response about supporting federal workers. So I’ll be looking for somebody with a fucking spine to replace his bitch-ass. I’m sick of these fucking losers selling us out to fascists. They’re gonna push us all too far, and the most desperate people will do unthinkable things, and they’ll wonder how it all got to be so chaotic and unstable and bloody.

And they wonder why Luigi was so popular.

Then they should be publicly arguing to convince the Republicans into supporting impeachment or else make them publicly support the war crimes. “Aww but it’s hard and they’ll probably vote it down.” My guy, that’s the fucking job. Make them risk reelection. Make them choose. Doing nothing just lets them do whatever they want. The impeachment might not go through, but it puts them on the record for supporting war crimes, and then you can use that in campaigns. And you can campaign as the party of accountability, even when the odds are stacked against you.

If you’re not gonna play nice and you’re not gonna play dirty, then you’re just announcing that you’re not gonna play, so it’s time to fucking resign and let somebody else fight this fight. Fuck Jeffries and every spineless Democrat standing in the way of actual problem solvers while the country burns down.

You’re not supposed to wear a band shirt to the band’s show, and you’re really not supposed to wear a band shirt to the band’s show when you’re in the fucking band. Absolutely reeks of desperation.

By that logic, Hegseth’s day drinking is part of his job if he does it with generals or foreign state officials.

The way trump golfs is about as active as taking a road trip and stopping at every exit and pumping your gas. Bowling, billiards, and mini golf are on the same level as his golf game. I doubt he could even keep up with his peers in a game of pickle ball.

Lmao I can’t believe I forgot that. Glaring plothole in my dream.

Dwayne the doc Johnson

TIL golfing is part of his official duties. Considering how much he golfs, and that he’s quite literally being paid to golf, and that it’s apparently part of his job to golf, you’d think he’d be better at it.

What a useless, greedy piece of shit. A cancer to our country and to our species, endlessly sucking resources to do nothing of value while starving the host. The useless eater was the fascist all along.

If he wants to ever be president, he needs to either invoke the 25th amendment or get on board with impeachment.

I dreamed that trump was impeached again and this time the Senate voted 50-50. Couch fucker was the tie-breaking vote, and he voted to convict, effectively electing himself president.

It’s disheartening that this wasn’t a good dream, but it was still too good to realistically hope for.
