I think it’s time for me to pitch a show that’s sure to be a hit in such stupid times, and I’m going to call it Ow, My Balls.

Working with the “Democrat Party” would turn them gay, or make them soft like a woman, either of which is anathema to them…
Well, good job, dumbass, because you enabled this “maga” nonsense.
We were being shown who the real owners are (incel Dogebags like fElon) , and diaper donvict has to sit there and take it along with the rest of us.
Yeah except that for previous generations not “winning” wasn’t an inherent global existential threat.
It’s been that way at least ever since the invention of the atom bomb.
So, yeah a global existential threat has been there for going on 80 years. And that one is quite obvious. And climate change was in the news for over 110 years, if you can believe it.
However, I’m old enough to remember watching the boomers getting gaslit by the “Greatest Generation”.
But yeah, as an Xer, it seems like we got the short straw. The boomers sucked all the air out of the room for so very long, that if the (mostly boomer- and Greatest Generation- led) media stopped giving them all the attention for a moment, it was to only label us the “slacker generation”.
By the time the boomer narcissism’s grip was loosened, the focus was mostly on to Gen Y, and if we are being honest here, due to their numbers, the media narcissism around Gen Y reminds me very much of the boomers, with Gen Z quickly catching up.
I suspect that’s very much due to a numbers game - if advertising dollars figure they can center a particular group enough, they can scoop up all those $$$ by selling a certain age range a story about themselves…
Yes, 100% this. There are plenty of boomers that got reamed by various elitist schemes, too. People right on the cusp of retirement only to have everything wiped out by something like an Enron or the real-estate bubble and they get to keep working another 10+ years…I think people have rose-colored glasses when it comes to the things boomers faced, too. It was not all sunshine and roses for everyone in that age bracket. It is lunacy to suggest that it was/is.
There may be some boomers doing nefarious things like Blackstone, driving up the cost of living for everyone, but I bet there are some very, very young people in schemes like that, too, making lots of money. Or individuals like fElon’s boyz - I don’t think the Dogebags are boomers. And fElon himself is Gen X…
Then there are headlines that I see like this that run counter to virtually everything you’d hear about Gen Y in recent years:

Lastly when the bullshit inter-generational warfare is whipped up, I remember this…
Um, life was maybe easy-ish for some boomers. Plenty of them got reamed by the many boom/bust cycles. Boomers lived through stagflation, two oil embargoes, Vietnam, the 80s fad of downsizing/rightsizing, many losing farms in the 80s, the 90s rush to offshore and outsource everything, the deskilling of Americans and the export of most manufacturing, NAFTA reordering things, the rise of big box retailers and further deskilling, the disintegration of unions, the Wall Street crash of 1987, the dot-com bubble burst in early 00s, the real-estate crash in 2008, etc. Gen X and millennials suffered some of these later ones, too, or dealt with the fallout from their parents having these struggles.
The ageist shit is just a distraction. Generations are not really a thing; it’s more of a marketing strategy and also a way for the elites to further atomize Americans. Don’t fall for it.
He knows Obama has bigger crowd sizes.
That’s nice. These monsters don’t care about and are not asking for approval from anyone now.
They are going to use the unitary executive theory to restore “liberty” - as someone like Bannon sees that word to mean.
Be sure to thank everyone that didn’t vote against donvict and fElon having all this power.
Um, what law did they break?
Well, this is the group that will let donvict shit in their mouth if they think a normal American would have to smell it.
So they just might.
I figured the prosperity bullshit would have been fast-tracked to “True Christian” status among today’s xtians…
It’s obviously an appeal to the dumbasses that react to any restraint on anything almost exactly like a wayward child being told to put on their seat belt…it’s really the gist of the conservative movement and always has been, regardless of the intellectual window-dressing put on it over the years.
Speaking of Christmas, these are also the same dumbasses that thought someone was keeping them from saying Merry Christmas prior to diaper donvict getting in there, and seriously thought that Happy Holidays was some Grand Globalist Conspiracy vs. the shorthand it’s always been. Not everyone feels like saying Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, it’s a lot of words and it’s not about oppressing the poor marginalized xtians. 🤣
“He’s not hurting the people he needs to be hurting!”
“I didn’t vote for this!”
^ The mating calls of the redcaps…
“Has concerns”
Sounds just like Susan Collins…more of that unqualified goodness I’ve been hearing so much about because someone is younger?
it turns out that eating bugs
I just don’t understand why this particular thing comes up all the time. Is there someone seriously proposing that?
I know the conspiracy theorists loooove to talk about it as if Bill Gates along with some “they” is planning that for all of the rest of us, based on something said at WEF one time, but…?
I’d imagine if some redcap went off their rocker and did something extreme against donvict, fElon, or one of their lackeys that martial law (or marshal law if you use donvict’s spelling) would be declared and guns would be getting confiscated at quite a rapid clip. At least from people suspected of not being redcap enough.
Those deemed sufficiently redcap might be given some extra perks - just enough so that they are not wanting to do radical things against donvict. They would probably be pointed at out-groups and given the hint - or explicit messaging - that they won’t be punished for anything they do against out-groups.
They aren’t hurting yet. The Dogebags could make things, much, much worse.
If they thought they were hurting when systems operated properly and checks were paid, banking worked properly under things like the FDIC and we had one of the best economies in quite a long time…buckle up.
These guys are out to break government. That will be absolutely make people absolutely miserable. If they thought “Bidenflation” was excruciating, they ain’t seen nothing yet.
I don’t know; the level of delusion is very, very high. As others have pointed out, the birds that have the flu are not going to last long, but we already saw that crazy spokescreature flapping her face about farms culling birds as if it was Biden’s personal kink being done to annoy good 'Mericans or something.
I could easily see them acting as if it’s not a problem by letting them sell tainted eggs from birds dying of bird flu - maybe even insisting on it, given how crazy these people are. And at least some of the stupid base will probably insist on being able to buy them, too. These are the people that think RFK jr is great, the same people that went Full Karen over masks, social distancing and the Covid vaccine. These are the same idiots that argued that people were only dying “with Covid”, not fucking FROM COVID. The kind of people that cheered on monsters like DeSantis yelling at kids for wearing masks.
