I'm not worried about Trump. The Democrats have proven that the president does not have the power to make large changes. There will be some incremental tinkering with numbers at the margins, but mostly it will be business as usual. The ship of state turns slowly. - ThreadSky

The utter and complete cowardice and ineptitude of the democrat party will be the death of us all.

machosissy.bsky.social•84 days ago

A little naive but I appreciate your optimism

richardlemassif.bsky.social•84 days ago

People don't realise how little power a president has. I cannot imagine any noticeable effect on people's daily lives either

You are brave to post a joke that actually requires people to think.

A wise man once said, you can't do anything without the will of the people, but you can get rid of people.

8bitblunder.bsky.social•84 days ago

Sure, they're just gonna hire back all the people they fired and re-purchase all the shit they sold and un-delete all the data they destroyed. This is a fucking bird-brained take which doesn't seem to understand what is happening or its significance, and it's dangerous.

Bamboozled again!

…and re-secure all the leaked personal data…and restore the profound loss of confidence in the government…and give us back the (relative) security we have had all our lives…

"We used to feel safe and have faith in this country, when the wanton destruction, suffering, corruption, and authoritarianism was something we were just inflicting on others, not when it was coming back to the imperial core. Why can't we just go back?"

8bitblunder.bsky.social•84 days ago

This is a weird and very malicious misinterpretation of what we're saying but go off king

I'm not worried about Trump because I think destroying the United States is a good thing that we should welcome

akecior67.bsky.social•84 days ago

Sucks that LGBT+ people like myself have to suffer as a consequence of that.

coffeecongee.bsky.social•84 days ago

Yeah that does suck, but most LGBT+ Americans still deserve to suffer (not because they are LGBT+, but because they are American)

akecior67.bsky.social•84 days ago

I didn't create this gov't. I didn't choose any of these genocidal bastards. I didn't choose to be born here. I don't deserve to suffer for the sins of those in power. Fuck outta here with that shit.

coffeecongee.bsky.social•84 days ago

And yet the vast majority of Americans voted for the Holocaust in Gaza. Almost nobody cared enough to even condition their vote on a weapons embargo. Americans also enthusiastically cheered as millions of e.g.Iraqis and Vietnamese were murdered. Given this, why should anybody feel bad for Americans?

akecior67.bsky.social•84 days ago

So if I get my throat slit by brownshirts, I actually deserve it. Because I'm American, & many of my fellow citizens are stupid & evil. Thus I am evil by association &, in turn, deserve to suffer. And no one should feel bad because I am American & thus innately evil & thus I deserve it.

Trump is going to be in big trouble once the Parliamentarian finds out what he’s been up to.

Oh you’re a satirist satirist

ctsmike.bsky.social•84 days ago

going to beat the “bluesky doesn’t get jokes” accusations by posting “this is satire. i understand it, and it’s funny to me.”

spanzotab.bsky.social•84 days ago

“Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side!”

“Ah yes, what biting satire. You almost baited me Mr. Ramesh but I’m one smart cookie!”

ctsmike.bsky.social•84 days ago

“i see you are fluent in sarcasm, sir 🤣🤣🤣”

sebvanliempd.bsky.social•84 days ago

to stick with the boat analogy. Imagine this crew member, who is very rich but that is a side note, who payed the drunken captain to punch holes in the hull just for fun and to "see what happens". Would that not sink the ship in stead of turning slowly?

regalithsandwich.bsky.social•84 days ago

The average satire detection level on this site...

deathcoaster.bsky.social•84 days ago

Rare horseshoe between chuds and libs getting too mad to understand satire.

thonkthwackthwoot.bsky.social•84 days ago

In people's defense, there are plenty of dipshits at places like The Atlantic or something who would say all this unironically

mrdickpound69.bsky.social•80 days ago

not surprising because 70% of bluesky users are probably liberal boomers/genxers.

love these comments

scottklair.bsky.social•84 days ago

thats why they’re called marginalized communities asshole.

himboblacksmith.bsky.social•84 days ago

he's making a joke

scottklair.bsky.social•84 days ago

yeah, I realized that afterwards—the whole Democratic and action thing—but I had to go to work did not really have time to sort it, so I figured fuck it. I’ll leave it there ‘cuz fuck it.

Real sensitive to the marginalized folks getting screwed, so I jumped the gun.

flower-nymph234.bsky.social•84 days ago

I think to make a joke, it kinda needs to be fairly obvious that it is one? The problem with this one, is that it just mimics what assholes already do say without any satirical punch line

himboblacksmith.bsky.social•84 days ago

it's subtle, but if you read the post, the satirical punchline is the democrats inability to act when they have power. this shouldn't have to be explained

absoluteboi.com•84 days ago

what if it came with an attached image saying "this is satire" in big bold letters would that be good enough? the problem isnt the joke, its people who think they have the authority to say comedy has to be done a specific way that you approve of.

scottklair.bsky.social•84 days ago

it wasn’t that someone sticking up for me felt comedy needed to be done in a way they approved of it was someone sticking up for me because I miss the subtlety saying maybe in strain times comedy should be done more overtly.

absoluteboi.com•84 days ago

well thats cause youre fucking stupid

scottklair.bsky.social•84 days ago

but how about suck my dick from the fucking back?

That’s funny right? cuz desus and miro said it and they were funny.

Or maybe I’m being real subtle and not fucking funny. I guess if you can’t figure it out shut the fuck up because nobody gets to dictate comedy.

afort.bsky.social•84 days ago

Definitely satire. Painful though

Just wait until he runs into the Senate parliamentarian, now that’s one tough customer.

just wait until trump has to try and get through the parliamentarian!

tentaclemacrame.bsky.social•84 days ago

lol what

lorddanielg.bsky.social•84 days ago

It's simply because no one will let him ruin the well organised and oiled oligarchic machine. He thinks he can make a system build long before him and out of his league, run for his personal profits.

landlordofcats.bsky.social•84 days ago

Every thing is fine insert meme here

jonp214.bsky.social•84 days ago

It’s far easier and quicker to thoughtlessly break things than actually fixing them. But you know that, you just find it easier to farm engagement by Irony posting about “Dems Bad”.

mediumvillain.bsky.social•84 days ago

Democrats are bad because its almost impossible to imagine 90% of them earnestly attempting to fix any of what's broken, let alone attempting to defend it, or going after the endemic corruption that allowed this all to move forward

kushghost.bsky.social•84 days ago

i say it all the time but wouldn’t surprise me if the first order of business for the democrats after winning 75 senate seats is to increase the filibuster to 81.
