I don’t know why you’re laughing.

I’m sure Kamala’s DOJ would have covered this up, too, amirite?

I had to laugh at watching little Mikey Johnson pretending to be wringing his hands over Democrats boycotting the SOTU (oh, the CIVILITY!), and he just cannot fucking help himself because he knows who he is doing this little performance for, and it’s not normal Americans:

He says:

We’ve never done that. It doesn’t matter if there’s a Democrat (sic) president, you go and respect the office, you respect the decorum, the institution, the tradition of having had this speech made.

These little weasels simply refuse to get the name of the party right. They do it all the time, and the Murc’s Law media never calls them on it. They quote little Mikey and don’t even put the sic in there as they should.

So the guy is pretending to be claiming that the SOTU is all about coming together, let’s have some civility here, etc., and even in the process of doing that, he does the little Republicunt insult that all of them do, constantly.

Civility. He can kiss my red rosy.

Okay, so apparently some repercussions overseas and for this guy (who seems to have zero political power at the moment)…are all the people in Pedonald’s circle going to have no consequences?

I have to wonder at the type of person that would be surprised to learn that a guy that had numerous bankruptcies and is known mostly for being a famous failson is somehow not going to help average Americans?

LOL, did you see that screed from Trollito? Dude seems angry about everything that happened in the Enlightenment and since.

This was an intimidation tactic.

Just like all the other lawfare that John Barron is aiming at people he gets butthurt about.

It’s weird how the cons bitch and complain about something and then it turns out they are the biggest purveyor of said thing they are bitching about, whether it’s political correctness, cancel culture, or lawfare…

It’d be nice to see banks, as a group, just say: make us. But it would not surprise me to see them cave…

I didn’t watch the SOTU but I see headlines like Pedonald claiming he is responsible for a “turnaround for the ages”.

I’ll interpret that as true, but not the way I’m sure he intended. All economic indicators towards the end of Biden’s term were in a good place or heading in good directions. That’s what happens when you have adults running things vs petulant children chanting baby-words like “maga” and “maha” and repeating jingoistic phrases on cue.

Since Pedonald has come in, he seems even more fixated on centering himself as well as enriching himself and doing absolutely unhinged things like fucking with tariffs.

So yeah, it was a turnaround all right, but changing things from a good direction to an incredibly stupid and awful direction.

And that’s just on economics.

“But he was handed such a mess! The Bidenomics of the terrible Biden economy! Pedonald is just trying to fix all that!”

– every Republicunt and reactionary centrist, along with plenty of dipshits in the Murc’s Law media.

He seems nice.

Huh, it’s almost like Republicans are working for a foreign entity trying to tear this country apart.

I think the biggest thing that was so wild to learn about this relative was when they expressed that my wife and I going to college has basically tainted us. It is their belief that going to a university basically ruins anyone that attends. That’s some real tell me you know nothing about higher education without telling me…

So, in this case, the major problem with me (and my wife) is getting a higher education and not supporting the GOP. That’s about the extent of what they know about our politics, really. It’s not like we sit around reeling off readings of Karl Marx at gatherings like this.

To the conservatives, having someone accuse you of racism is more offensive than actual racism.

Well said.

Also: will the progressives vote for the candidate progressives come up with? Because there is always the chance that when it boils down to an actual individual, they may not pass some purity test(s) that are typically run against politicians.

If he’s trying to say we should stop falling into the framing given to us by the unhinged right that talks way more about trans than trans probably do (Donvict just drops random phrases into his rambling monologues now: “transgender for everybody” and “men in women’s sports”), he’s not wrong about that.

I heard a far more nuanced take on this kind of thing on Pod Save America, by the way.

Show me where Newsom endorsed something like Unhumans.

It’s one thing not to be all that wild about Newsom’s rather middling take on trans (specifically, transwomen in women’s sports, IIRC), but it’s quite another to act like there is no difference here.

^ Well, I’m not sure if this is an actual question in good faith given this is coming from a banned account.

But, to answer it - I’m not sure if I said I never get response from leftists. Hell, I consider myself and many I affiliate with a leftist (despite all the arguments in bad faith that tend to kick off by calling everyone with even a slight disagreement a “shitlib” or a “neoliberal shill” and so on). If I said that, I didn’t mean it - what I meant is that I see less of them (online) since the election.

I have enough of the type of unapologetic unhelpful bad-faith types of “leftists” in my personal life even if all the online trolls/bots really did disappear immediately after the election.

I’ve had the conversation enough times and it’s nearly always done in bad faith and delusion. I’ve had it so many times that I could practically write out their responses anyway, so I don’t really see it going anywhere. In any case, I’m sure I’ll have it IRL soon enough as I have enough associates of the tankie archetype. It’s weird how much of the Murc’s Law media and reactionary centrist tropes they have adopted, that’s for sure…if I didn’t experience this kind of thing IRL, I’m not sure I’d even be convinced that all of these online characters were not just a form of online agent provocateur. I believe that at least some of the online people legitimately hold their views.

The "peace president’.

More like the mad king.

Congrats Jordan! Glad to hear this!
