I’m hearing…many people…many of the top people who know about these things…are saying…very strongly…so I don’t know, but we’ll be looking into it very soon.

The only time I ever shut up my bitch of a mother bout politics was shortly after Obama won and she was complaining about something stupid.

"What happened to, 'It's un-American to complain about the Commander-in-Chief?' "

"You complained about Bush all the time!"

"Because I believe it's my civic responsibility to hold my leaders accountable. But you said over and over that was wrong. Did you change your mind, or is it only un-American to criticize the president you like?"

She was (probably still is) a malignant narcissist, so I paid for that, but the satisfaction of seeing her grasp for straws was worth it.

It was 20 years ago so- to whoever needs to hear this- the road to healing is a long one, and sometimes it feels like you're not moving at all, but time will take you where you want to be. Just keep at it, work on your behaviors, learn how to clean up your thoughts, and you'll get there.

Their crocodile tears just make them look more like the children they detest every day.

Sidenote: the phrase "your boos mean nothing, I've seen what makes you cheer" is getting overused, but like.... It's just so fitting how can you not use it.

The first I heard that quote was from Rick and Morty. Does it have an older origin or did a Rick and Morty quote actually stick in the cultural zeitgeist I wonder?

I'd say "let's go, in and out, 20 minute adventure" is also pretty useful

... Somebody needs to take this image and make it the background for a JD Vance Linux distro. That shit would be even more of a meme than Hannah Montana

24

I'm stealing this. I've been posting a JD couch or dolphin meme on my Mastodon every day and plan on continuing to do so for the foreseeable future. This is definitely going into the queue.

I have to make a confession, my brain immediately parsed this image as a Linus tech tips thumbnail.

Didn't they buy the platform just so misinformation could be spread on it freely?

Nah, Elon was clearly trying to pull a pump and dump. However the feds had been monitoring his propensity to buy a bunch of stock, announce buying a controlling amount, then sell the stock he had, when the line went up, due to his announcement. This time the SEC filed suit and he was forced to go through with the purchase, under the contract they had, because this time he crossed the line into federal prison behavior.

Once he had to spend 44 billion on it, he had to do something with it. He had no idea how twitter actually worked, how it really made its money, or why the moderation was the way it was. So he ran in like a bulldozer, fucking around the the corporate structure, in hopes the excitement of change would make line go back up, and he could sell without losing all 44 billion. This didn't work, he turned it into a shit show, and his narcissism drives him double down, and do things specifically because the public at large hates it, out of spite. However his C levels, and investor's board, are also forcing him to make the place profitable again, lest they make a large legal case against him.

So here we are.

Sidenote: I hate when people refer to women by their first names and men by their lasts. Would it be so difficult to call it the Harris campaign?

43

They think Kamala sounds foreign enough to make the racists mad.

See also "Barack HUSSEIN Obama." Which Trump uses regularly on his dumb website.

50

Actually it would because their whole thing is that a brown woman is undeserving of that respect. She needs to be a Proper Minority Woman - pumping out babies (but not too many, as to not out-reproduce white 'Muricans) and being exploited by corporations while supporting her White Alpha Male cuck husband.

If that's why people refer to politicians by first name, why does everyone say Bernie instead of Sanders? Or Teddy instead of Roosevelt?

I think the rule is that you get first name treatment if you're further left than a neoliberal, or if you have a more famous relative.

Politicians are called by their more interesting name, but hundreds of years of male rule have rendered all male given names boring and all female given names exciting

Personally, I'm inclined to use Kamala Harris' first name just because it's fun to say. It has a rhythm and repetition to it. Also, we've already had a President Harrison, so it distinguishes her.

With Hillary Rodham Clinton, I usually used her first name, initials, or full name to distinguish her from her husband. As much as I loath that she was always in his shadow, she was a force to be reckoned with. They may be a power couple, but she deserves her own recognition.

As for Tim Walz, Tim is just too common and uninteresting. Walz has character and it's close to waltz.

That drove me crazy in 2016 and I've been pleasantly surprised that, outside of weirdos on Twitter, it's mostly been called the HARRIS campaign.

I saw a picture of what he looked like without the beard and eyeliner, and I'm 100% for making fun of his beard til he shaves it like Henry Zebowski in Crashing.

It's completely the wrong move to shave it. But he could easily be talked into it

yknow how hipsters are woke? yeah? well do you know a hipster that DOESNT have a beard?!?

Call it weird for a week or two would probably be enough.

If not, we can just call him a wanna be Ted Cruz and that'll probably push him over the edge to differentiate

12

Calling a guy weird for something we can all see a desperate, horny, sexually-repressed midwestern teenager actually trying just isn't comparable to questioning the rightfully elected president's citizenship because his race makes you uncomfortable.

How about, uh, Fuck your feelings snowflake? Rupublikkklowns can't take their own bullshit huh? Clowns.

Someone told me once never trust the words that come before the "but" or after "honestly" and i don't know where they heard it from...

Honestly, I don't trust this part of your statement.

Good rule of thumb. Occasionally it doesn't work but usually it's on point.

Right, so you ignore the first part, because only the second part is the honest part.

Couch memes are fine, but I still don't understand why we're ignoring his dolphin fetish.

14

I mean we're just asking questions here. It would be very simple for him to unambiguously disavow his couch and dolphin fetish, so by choosing to stay silent it seems as if he is choosing to let us work from our own assumptions.

10

From https://www.indy100.com/politics/jd-vance-dolphin-search-history:

Back in February, long before he was a potential vice president, Vance shared a screengrab from a X/Twitter account called 'Crazy Clips' which showed a video of a woman getting attacked by a dolphin. The post read 'woman gets violated by a dolphin and enjoys it.'

Now apart from the clip being a bit weird, especially for a notable US politician to be sharing, the big thing that people have picked up on is that the words 'dolphin' and 'woman' were highlighted in the tweet.

Given how X/Twitter's search engine works it is therefore likely that Vance, or someone else, had searched for these specific words in order to find the post.

The couch one is so much more believable that it sticks better. Like they're trying to push that Tim walz drinks horse cum but it's so stupid it hasn't spread much. Now if they targeted vaush with that rumor...

The irony is that the dolphin thing isn't entirely fictional.

unfortunately, while i can't stand hasan for being an absolutely insufferable human, he does make a good point here (mostly) ignoring the technicalities (mostly just not being 100% accurate, which, who cares lmao)

republicans are finally getting a taste of their own medicine, and they do not like it.

12

They are so used to calling facts fake news and using their own fake news as their facts that they have absolutely no idea what to do when someone flips the script on them.

Hey Matt remember how you said everyone wants to have sex with children, and the problem with liberals is that they say they don't so they must be lying about it? Yeah. The fact you said that is true and fucked up, couch fucking is fairly normal in contrast.

Another weird fucking creep trying to cover down on a weird fucking couch molester.
