LOL. Are we supposed to believe it's going to be armed?

Apparently the definition of "waste, fraud, and abuse" according to conservatives is....you being able to eat.

Right but they don't seem to have this focus (any more?) on things like S&M?

Imagine being at that cat convention and being so confused as to why someone is trying to disrupt it?

Also, I don't get why the wingers seem to be so fixated on furries. What even the fuck?

What other hobbies will they get verklempt over next? Ham radio operators? The maker scene? People who knit?

Because this almost sounds like it's made up. Democrat gets elected, has a stroke, turns rather right wing on some issues. Mostly pisses off a lot of the Democrats, even if he votes with them, mostly.

He completely misread the room on Israel/Gaza, is not nearly left enough overall, and he'll be challenged by a socialist who is also Palestinian?

This sounds like something the Onion would have written as a reaction to Fetterman and to also provide nightmare fuel for the pearl-clutching wingers / "independents" / reactionary centrists.

Wonder how triggering this is for donnie's personal lawyer.

On the internet, you have a certain type that is always trying to top each other for who is more edgy. This is not so much of a thing on the left, but you will see a few outliers ( if you see someone talking about "shitlibs", climbs into their armchair to give a lecture about the terms liberal vs. leftist, or is trying to make "blue maga" happen, it's possible it is an instance of this. If they claim they are a Communist, it likely is.)

I think on the right, it's much more the case to see this kind of crap. Lots of "burn it all down" energy as if that would really benefit anyone.

That is exactly the energy I get from Pete every single time I see him putting on some performance.

I remember some people from high school and college that were in my circle of acquaintances. They were the types that were at least nominally conservative even at that age, but drank and partied, maybe smoked weed (if everyone else was doing it).

They were absolutely convinced that if they just got louder in their arguments, maybe even with some implied violence, that they could talk you out of your rejection of their evangelical xtianity. "You really need to talk to my pastor, he can explain all this!!!!1111" Calmly explaining that I was raised xtian seemed to have zero effect...in other words, people that do not seem to have a firm grasp of logic.

Seeing Petey doing his stupid slam poetry brought some of those memories back so hard.

Even more amusing, the people most obsessed with "alpha" nonsense don't seem to even realize what they are basing it on was debunked long ago.

So we have a lot of frat-bro types all juiced up on stupid notions about how to be a male in this world. And to anyone the least bit informed, they look like apes trying to do calculus when they are talking to each other.

The affair is tabloid material. The alleged chip diversion is a national security issue.

Yeah, a whole lot of people seem to be concentrating on the wrong thing. Much like when donnie said "grab 'em by the pussy". People were not upset over the word pussy; he was bragging about sexually assaulting women.

Someone, especially someone with more money than god, banging some side-piece is not the least bit shocking and it's not at all illegal. It's kind of funny to see people clutching their pearls about it and acting like the investigation is going to be about him cheating on his wife. Like we are living on a colony of Puritans or something. What even the fuck?

Well, they set up a big bomb to go off in Jan 2027. Right wing voters and low-info voters - the kinds typically labeled "independent" - are going to be the least aware of which party caused that. They'll probably blame it on Democrats.

Maybe enough will see past it to thoroughly punish conservatives for it, but we'll see....

GOP = Gang Of Pedophiles
