Yeah, I think you’ve got a good handle on it.

I imagine that Kamala could at least win an argument with a potted plant, which is more than you could say about Biden at this point.

Yeah, I don’t get it. I was confused and not happy when I saw he was running again. He could’ve gone out like a heavily watered down LBJ, instead he’s going to be forever remembered as the lost nursing home patient who wandered onto the debate stage. This is an unmitigated disaster, and the only way forward I see now is have Joe step down and let Kamala be the president. I’m not excited for that prospect, but I assume she can at least win a debate against a potted plant.

Yeah, it reminded me a lot of the Carter/Reagan debate, only if Carter had a massive concussion.

And when he said he beat medicare

I would vote for a wet sandwich before I vote for Trump, but Jesus Christ, it would be nice if the democrats fucking tried.

If only. Dude looks and sounds like he’s about drop dead. I cannot begin to express how enormously frustrated with the democrats I am.

It’s not like the protests just went nowhere and petered out. That was the effect, but the state showed that it has a violent and psychotic response to any serious criticism, and was unashamed of it.

The one about cows is no joke. Hitting a cow in a sedan at highway speeds is more or less the same as hitting a brick wall.

Edit: actually, given the choice, take the brick wall, because at least a simple masonry wall will crush and crumble and absorb some of the impact. The cow will just gain a sudden increase in its net velocity at your expense.

Dude, there is just no way on earth that automakers are making razor thin margins on $80,000 F250 extended cab super duty pavement princesses that are basically just minivans in a trenchcoat.

Korean proxy war is the loss.jpg of modern conflicts cmv.

Who said anything about getting wrinkles out?

It was. There’s at least some evidence that the Inca invented the wheel independently, but its application was largely limited to children’s toys IIRC.

Gas prices mean nothing if you can take the train. Every time gas prices jump, people start thinking about alternatives. Might be pretty sick, actually.

If you’ve got better ideas, we need them, get out there and get on it. As it is, we’re sleepwalking into catastrophe.

Fucking embarrassing tbh. We’re going to decimate the global north because somebody said no to our ethnostate pal.

See shitty right wing government doing shitty right wing things.

Sigh.

I bet I know who’s behind this.

Google the history of that government.

Greece was the first proxy war of the Cold war, with the US backing the Greek Monarchy, who were ultimately the victors.

We probably ran similar propaganda and right-wing violence campaigns there as we did across the global south.

What a fucking surprise.

Happy July 4th everyone.

So here’s my question: what happens when Israel finishes swallowing Palestine and there’s no more land left to steal? What then? Are they going to start shit with Jordan or Egypt to steal their land next? At what point does the US let them know that we’re not going to let them drag us into WW3 just because they need to steal some land.

Tbf, the Europeans have some pretty fucked cryptid lore, it’s just that they’re more chaotic neutral and less chaotic vengeance than the American variety. My favorite american cryptid is an old one you don’t hear much of anymore, and was born from Pacific NorthWest loggers: the Hide Behind. Basically, this mf stalks your shit and will always duck behind a tree when you turn to look at it; it’s fast enough to never be seen clearly, but you can just catch glimpses of it if you’re fast/lucky. Eventually, it catches and eats unwitting loggers who let it sneak up on them.

Edit: I also like the deer stories. One of my all time favs was a free text about a deer stumbling up the street very clearly saying “BEEP BEEP BEEP” like a car being unlocked, followed by “Honey, I’m home!” over and over. That was the whole story, just a weird fucking deer stumbling up the street and talking to itself. 10/10 would gladly read again.

The thing that really kills me is that each of these donations is basically a raise that was denied, a health policy that was worsened, a law that was hollowed out. These are dollars made of the bones and cartilage that have been looted from our society. Democracy ™ brought to you by Acererak.
