U.S. Politics

Social media is having a lot of fun with that PlayStation 1 looking battleship the white house sent out yesterday. It's funny, but such a waste and abuse of the system.

How long until we rename the country the Trump States of America? The National Baby needs attention, and he needs it now.

Can't have minority-serving institutions in the segregated Trump States of America.

DOJ Report Declares MSIs Unconstitutional

The decision comes after the Department of Education asked the DOJ’s Office of Legal Counsel to review the legality of a number of programs they said used racial “quotas.”

Apparently Biden's DOJ had this postcard and chose not to release it. Merrick Garland should be tried for his crimes against humanity.

Finally, some good news. These are horrendous numbers for the end of a presidential term. We're 11 months in.

The next time I'm at a gathering and some maga person jumps up and ruins the vibe as they drunkenly spout the talking points, which may well be tomorrow, I need to message you @Damien to remind me of things like that to counter them. I always forget the "we can all say stuff" tactic.
 
I'm a big fan of never letting conservatives control the narrative by always being on the defensive about the stupid bullshit they say. Just give it right back to them. Hunter Biden's laptop? Don't care. Your guy is a fucking child predator and so are you.

Where do you gather?
Yikes on bikes.
I haven’t had to listen to a MAGA cultist actually speak in my vicinity in a very long time. Anyone who knows me knows that they need to avoid places I am or shut the fuck up. I will literally run them out of the room or shame them to silence. It’s honestly hard to imagine dealing with one of these Nazi pricks openly in a social situation, they are complete pariahs in my life. Like I’m sure they are around, but their lips are buttoned. As they should be.

The other night we had our friend gathering, essentially my wife's bunch from high school and their significant others and children. I get along really well with all of them except one husband. We used to get into it a lot in the beginning on Trump Part 1. He was actually the first person I ever knew who genuinely expected Trump to be a solution to things. We barely see them anymore because they moved down by Temecula partly because of our shaming but also so he could more effectively be a shitty husband and father after stranding them far from her support system here. Anyway, the last several times I've seen him we kinda keep away from each other but the other night they were the first ones to arrive and the kids all ran to the backyard together, my wife and her friend went to the kitchen and I'm stuck with this palooka trying to figure out what the fuck we can discuss. I know he doesn't care about my shit so we get into stuff about his work and he found a way to segue into the wondrous Riverside sheriff he cant wait to vote for for governor of California. And he launched into a whole second amendment tirade and I just stared at him because what the fuck. Then the next family arrived and that was that.

The last one before that was a thing where a few dozen of my wife's closest relatives got together for the 19th anniversary of my wife's mother's passing, so it's the right time for my wife's uncle to assault the entire group with his drunken talking points on Biden and Chicago and I forget what else too. But it was like fox news headlines on two legs. I was seething because he was saying so much shit I know he is ignorant about even without just hearing his words, but my wife told me to just ignore him because she knows I only have two speeds (that's a new years resolution for me, learn at least two more speeds). Another uncle was arguing with him for most of the night until my wife loudly asked "hey, what's your favorite dish my mom would make?" And the drunken maga uncle completely changed course. To me it was like magic.
