If only someone time-traveled to the 1990s and turned Trump (and also Jeffrey Epstein since he's inadvertently responsible for this administration) into the FBI.
Right? There are plenty of natives in the south whose accents and dialects are indecipherable to me. Like Boomhauer on steroids in parts of Mississippi.
Man I tell you what Hank bout there-that dang ol meaning o’life, man. It’s like this man. You’ like a butterfly flappin ‘is wings deep down in that forest man an’ it gonna cause a tree fall like five thousand miles away man. If-an ain’t no body see it nobody don-done-e’en know it happen you know ibda baby born into this world int’know neck god dang friends got no nothin but da go come into find out about em ol evil man. Man see like, you don even know man. When-dyagon it’d like you born into this world man and you got - it’s like this: dust in the wind man, or like a dang ol’ candle in the wind man. You gon - it don matter man it’s not the old oldies all th’ time man. You know what I think man? It’d like the the dang ol, I think therefore you are man.
I tell ya what, man, that dang ol’ internet, man, you just go in on there and point and click, talk about w-w-dot-w-com, mean you got the username on there, man, just go click, click, click, click, click, it’s real easy, man
If you want to think that a strongly worded social media post is standing up to someone. I’m not going to stop you, but not a single goalpost was moved during this discussion despite how witty it made you feel to say it.
It’s okay to let other people believe differently. Trust me.
there are lots of different shitty events happening, with different ideas/ways of "standing up"... not sure we should be gatekeeping which ones are 'good enough' nor is there value in comparing.
ending with "trust me" is a pretty insincere way to finish your observation and dilutes your authenticity.
I think the problem that people sense with the witticisms of politicians like AOC is that it seems a little bit like the jester in the king's court who's there to poke fun at the king, so that way the peasants can get their kicks at the king's expense and therefore don't feel like they need to actually overthrow the king.
I hope she becomes my president, becoming the Franklin, Lincoln, Theodore, and Saint Olga of our time. There are a lot of bastards who deserves the bird and the flames.
She's fairly active as far as house members in the minority. They mostly sit on committees and do boring shit (a reason governors, etc, typically look better for pres) but an interview with her suggested that even working within her own party is a challenge at times since the Dems are so ineffective as a whole.
Remember they chose an old cancer (?) patient over her for an important position since they do seniority rules. It's apparently quite awful.
I think the secret to getting into office is appealing to the people on issues that both progressives and conservatives would agree on. I mean if it worked for Zohran in New York, why NOT AOC?
Yup, I can't trust politicians who claim to be progressive until they obtain power and start doing the things they promise, like how Mamdani is doing. Until then, everyone is a wolf in sheep's clothing, like Barack Obama.
There are some races where being progressive actually works against the candidate (like Graham Platner for instance) and it's easier for me to trust those folks' authenticity, but I generally assume everyone's a Fetterman until proven innocent.
Listening to Donny mumble and stumble through his words as well as watching him limp and stumble around I keep saying to myself any day now any minute now please Grim Reaper hurry up I will pay for your Uber to the White House please.
Yeah there's enough political news happening these days that I wish we would keep the postings to actual news, instead of you'll never guess what he said about her or she said about him, OMG he is so burned this time!
Didn't she vote for support to Israel not that long ago? Why do people pretend things didn't happen?
EDIT:
For the record, this is a legit question I'm asking. I literally recall more than one post on Lemmy not that long ago where stuff was going around about MTG not wanting to sign some bill and then another post said AOC caved alongside other dems that also voted FOR funding Israel for something related to the genocide. Please enlighten me if I was wrong about that. Distinctly recall this being the case.
Can confirm. It's not just the US either. We have similar things happening in India. The leader of opposition Rahul Gandhi wanted to talk about Modi's connection to Epstein, and about a recent (unpublished, due to lack of approval) memoir of a retired General about the Indo-China situation. But he was stopped for bogus reasons, and the parliament was prematurely adjourned.
But no one even saw the footage from the parliament session, and no one seems to care that it happened. What people do seem to care about is that Rahul interrupted some union ministers' press briefing, and they basically bolted as they didn't have any answers for him. So now everyone is calling them cowards. Not because of what happened in the parliament, but because of this memeable interaction. We are truly living in an idiocracy, just worse. At least the President Camacho seemed to genuinely care.
I just can't believe that the guy with the double handjob dance thinks bad bunny's dancing is obscene ..
If only someone time-traveled to the 1990s and turned Trump (and also Jeffrey Epstein since he's inadvertently responsible for this administration) into the FBI.
Funniest comment of the day!
He watched bad bunny instead of kid rock?
He probably couldn’t figure out how to watch the other one.
Was it on some shitty streaming platform? (Like Crackl or whatever?)
I think it was on multiple streaming platforms, each one more shitty than the last.
Turns out even the magas don't actually like Kid Rock, they only like that he wants to fuck kids like they do
There were pictures from his party at MaL that showed the Bad Bunny halftime show in the background!
Not to diminish from her wittisism, is this really "BREAKING" news? Or is that term just used for everything now?
BREAKING NEWS : Lemmy user dellish just ADMITTED to not knowing the purpose of the usage BREAKING in reporting. More on this as it develops.
BREAKING NEWS: Lemmy user yermaw slams and blasts dellish. You’ll never guess what they said!
BREATHING NEWTS: Amphibians draw breath!
Then THIS happened!
It’s just used for everything. Sometimes tongue-in-cheek, sometimes not. I just ignore it nowadays.
mebbe ‘breaking up’ (haha) news??
BREAKING NEWS : News will now be printed on glass

At least with Boomhauer you can use subs.

Wait... She can understand what he says half of the time?!?
it must be some sort of soft super power... or curse
Tweeting witty snark is apparently the new standard for what we consider a national treasure now.
Our new normal keeps sinking lower and lower.
When noone on the playground stands up to the bully, that one brave soul gets extra spotlight.
Especially when people like Hortman are executed for being on the 'other side'
Tweeting a snarky comeback on social media isn’t standing up to a bully. It’s just pointlessly publicly shaming someone that doesn’t possess shame.
Alex Pretti and Renee Good stood up to bullies. And what happened to them is how trump responds to people standing up to him.
So, if you want a true definition of what standing up to bullies entails, check ICE’s body count. Because words don’t mean shit anymore.
Just gonna plop those goalposts down wherever you want. make up some definitions and tell me how wrong I am. you do you man.

I don’t believe I gatekept anything here at all. I simply pointed out that it’s meaningless pageantry. I never said it shouldn’t be done.

Puppet History Theater: Saint Olga of Kiev
Would love to see her in the White House one day, assuming she's got more to offer than her speeches.
She's fairly active as far as house members in the minority. They mostly sit on committees and do boring shit (a reason governors, etc, typically look better for pres) but an interview with her suggested that even working within her own party is a challenge at times since the Dems are so ineffective as a whole.

Maybe if she keeps representing the ownership class she might make it into the big club some day.

In other news: representative says something witty in response to someone saying negative stuff about halftime show. More on that at 11.
If scathing tweets were considered political action, she’d be the most effective politician ever.
Well, Tim Walz calling MAGA "weird" was apparently one of the most effective tactics used by a Democrat in recent years, so...
(And of course the party told him to stop, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory yet again)
They stopped him to stop because they don't want to win an election. Effective tactics to win elections is so 2008.
Yeah there's enough political news happening these days that I wish we would keep the postings to actual news, instead of you'll never guess what he said about her or she said about him, OMG he is so burned this time!
Sick burnnnnnn
Hahaha great stuff! This will surely put food on the table of many starving Americans and get the fascists of the streets
Greta work👏
She voted to stop the rail unions from striking. AOC does not represent us.
Yeah and she would have been even worse on gaza than trump.... right???
Didn't she vote for support to Israel not that long ago? Why do people pretend things didn't happen?

If you can't provide any opposition whatsoever, at least you can meme. 👍
In today's Murica which is basically Idiocracy but dumb, a burn on a meme is equivalent to presenting a devastating case in court
Better than. They'll ignore the courts, but a meme will at least hurt their fragile egos for a few hours.
