Right? This is about providing political cover to centrists who take money from the same oligarchs as conservatives. They just want to pretend they are on our side.

“Their” country. I think you’re making assumptions.

Just because he has money doesn’t give him the right

Gonna stop you there, friend, and remind you that this is America. Yes it does.

I think his television appearances always make me wonder if there’s spit in my food.

I also think his attempt to fix school lunches was well intentioned but tragically naive, and ended up doing more harm than good by making reform attempts look pathetic.

Cruel and usual.

When there’s a literal Nazi in the white house, it’s no wonder.

Oh it could? It could do the one thing they very obviously intend to do? Could?

Sometimes you need a “gotcha” moment to make headlines and hopefully reacha few people who are so delusional they think prohibiting abortion is in any way related to saving lives.

They can donthe outreach to, it just doesn’t garner media attention. That’s not to say they’re doing it. They are Democrats, after all. Ineffective and performative are on-brand.

The feeling is fucking mutual.

Time to remove Google Calendar.

God, people really need to stop thinking this.

TRUMP. WILL. NOT. REGRET. ANYTHING!

He does not have the capacity to reflect on his own actions and recognize the effects of his own incompetence. There will be no cathartic moment of divine justice where he looks at the camera, realizes all his problems are his own fault, moments before being comically obliterated by an ironically appropriate karma.

Movies and religion have warped our minds, because when we imagine justice, our lizard brains are satiated. The only justice that exists in this world is wrought from dedication, vigilance, and the iron will to stand up for what is right.

The objection has been heard and overruled.

On the one hand, the exec was super sexist to say that Demi’s value as an actress is just as a love interest. The movie was being filmed, and there was nothing about the role that was supposed to be sexy or romantic.

On the other hand, she was the worst actor in that movie. The best thing about her performance was that it was forgettable, because it allowed the better actors to take more of the stagelight. Even Brian Bodison, Lance Corporal Dawson, gave a better performance, and he had literally never acted before. There were many actresses who could have taken the role and done more with it.

But I don’t think that’s why they objected.

As an Eagles fan, I fucking loved that shit. But I can understand why Chiefs fans would have not enjoyed it, and everyone else would have been bored.

Kendrick fucking killed it, though. That was a great halftime show.

Dimes would make a fine choice for the smallest denomination. You could still divide dollars to the nearest tenth of a dollar, which is more than sufficient. They have no buying power by themselves, but a stack can buy something.

A stack of pennies is still garbage.

The last coin to be removed from circulation was the half penny, or hay-penny. At the time they stopped minting it, it had the buying power of 18 cents.

We could stop minting pennies, nickels, and dimes, all of which cost more than their face value to mint.

Trump is a fucking moron and a fascist, but rapist clocks are right twice a day.

Edit: I looked it up, and I was wrong. The dime does not cost more to mint than its face value, but the penny and the nickel do. The dime is still functionally worthless, and could easily be removed from circulation without affecting commerce.

Conservativism is built on the idea that “I’m a good person.” That’s the core of every single conservative ideology. There are no unifying beliefs, no foundational value, no immovable, fundamental priorities for conservatives. Everything is negotiable, except for the fact that “I am a good person.” If I want something to change, it must change because I am a good person. If I want something to stay the same, it must remain the same because I am s good person. If you disagree with me, then you are a bad person.

A party of conservatives will coalesce around a single identity, and then it morphs into “We are the good people” but only because each individual member still believes “I am a good person.”

If someone else does something bad, it reinforces the idea that they are good. If they do something bad, it’s justified because they are the good ones as it was either necessary or a meaningless temporary lapse.

Conservativism is not so much an ideology as it is a psychosocial virus.

So there is no irony, no hypocrisy, no self-reflection among conservatives. They don’t perceive their flaws because that’s the point of conservativism. If conservativism were a sport, it would be Calvinball, where the rules are ephemeral and capricious.

When you try to apply reason to a conservative’s statements or actions, you’re wrestling with the tar baby they made for you.

Whoa whoa whoa. Cocaine is way better than whiskey.
