B&G have a good chance of coming out of this stronger than ever and with bigger profits. If Gaza was so bad that people could not bring themselves to elect a VP (who has no say in anything in the administration does) to the presidency, hopefully those people are gonna go full blown diabetic eating all their fucking ice cream for the next 4+ years.

For only 4-years? This has been the dream of the Kremlin since the Cold War. Putin has been carrying this forward since the collapse of the Soviet Union. It’s only since the collapse that information has seen success and become their primary focus, and not a military arms-race. It’s sad so many in the US are so easily duped.

I think he’d be Butthead given his hair style and color, no?

“Lord it was scary!”

Not too mention the “inflation” was entirely fabricated to hurt Joe and the Democrats. All they had to do was ask people what inflation? To ask them how there was record inflation AND record profits with large payouts to CEOs. It’s gross that the rich fabricated this, sold it to the masses, and they ate it up.

In 2016, I was angry at the decision some made, but understood that no one knew who tRump was, what he stood for, or how he’d govern. In 2024, we knew all of that. It’s clear this is what people want. They won’t ever know how badly they fucked themselves cause they’ll be told who is really to blame and they’re too stupid to get a second opinion.

4?

DDUUUDDDDEEE, too soon!

Yeah, I saw it all on EWU’s channel. Some quality shit on that channel. Though by their logic, everything I do normally in my day-to-day is a red flag!

Kinda hard to cum without an erection, though, right?

There was a show, Human Giant I think it was called, which was like skit comedy. Aziz Ansari (spelling?) was in it. In the skit, he was talking about rollerblading and I lost it when, with a straight face, he said, “the hardest thing about rollerblading is telling your parents’ you’re gay.”

In use Voyager for my daily driver here on this account and Jerboa for my NSFW account.

I love Voyager for the “hide read posts” and the some of the sitting and layout stuff. I like Jerboa for the erections!

I remember this kind of shit when I worked at Caterpillar. I always assumed the requested permission messages just disappeared into the void. Of course, I was IT so my requests were usually asking for more than they’d want their help desk staff to have.

One use-case for me has been converting code from a language I know to a language I don’t. Usually, just small snippets. The code is usually full of holes, but I’m good enough with the logic to duct tape those puppies!

Glad you’re still here with us!

I count 8 lives used. Next hole punch gets a free death.

Please don’t vote-splain. You’re arguing semantics. The electoral college just gives states the ability to decide to honor or ignore the will of the people. It also gives rural states more per-capita power than they’d othereise get. Until relatively recently, most states had nothing on the books to force delegates to vote the way the people wanted.

Sure, some of the younger crowd may want to abolish the electoral college, it won’t happen unless states force an amendment. The fossils in Congress, as well as the enshrined political surnames, will all use their collective power and wealth to shut that shit down for as long as they can.

In terms of they’re both the same, you are naive if you think the Democrats really care about you or power. They just don’t outrightly tell the populous to fuck off like the Republicans do. The party tolerates progressives, but does everything they can to keep them out of power. Look to Adam Schiff these last couple of years for a good example. If I recall, didn’t he politically champion and/or donate to a candidate running against a progressive Democrat in his state? When the Democrats, or even the Republicans for that matter, have all three branches, they still never seem to get anything done.

Hmm, 🤔… It’s almost like they want the current status quo to persist, even when empowered to do something without barriers.

As morbid as it is to think about, this was was the first thought I had.

Isn’t this kind of missing the point, though? The reason neither party wants to change a thing about the current system is the whole point of abolishing the electoral college is to remove the spoiler effect that eventually leads to a two party system. If the electoral college ends, there’s no such thing as swing states, gerrymandering will be moot, candidates will actually have to have policies that people want, they’ll have to actually campaign, and many corporate “Democrats” will probably get outed by more progressive candidates.

There are other benefits, but I really don’t see this getting any traction, regardless, until we can get money our of politics and a wealth tax that makes sense (like 70%+ on the ultra wealthy).

I agree with your sentiment that Democrat ideas – more likely the progressive Democrat ideas – will likely be the candidates that win the most. However, we’ll likely never find out cause both parties will fight this with all of their being and financial ghouls.

Identity politics: Newt Gingrich’s lasting legacy for the country!

The wealthy in this world are just like my 4yo, they just want instant gratification. No amount of justification or considerations matter when your soul purpose is to get as much as possible while you can and fuck everyone else! The race to the bottom continues!
