I don’t know if that’s good news. If we botch our chance so hard that we kill civilization, is there really any value-add to our continued existence?

“The stories NEVER get told…”
In the same way stories of all the Oscars won by Carrot Top never get told.

I’m…not even sure why this is being discussed. Seems like Dems think they can use Elon as some kind of “weapon” in future elections. This is stupid. If anyone knows anything, it’s that Elon is a weapon that will turn on you the minute he doesn’t get everything exactly his way.

And yet people still seem to think he’s some kind of genius.

It would be funny, if it didn’t so vividly demonstrate the way American power and potential were being pissed away by worthless leaders and the stupid voters that elect them.

This article is the most distilled view of American political culture I’ve read. It is the quintessence of American politics, present and future. When historians recount the downfall of a once-mighty nation, the cynicism, nihilism, and clamor for valueless attention will be diagnosed as the cause.

Naturally. Everything about Trump is “Believe me, don’t believe the experts, the economists, the prosecutors, the juries, the weather reports, the journalists, or what you see with your own eyes.”
You have to be very, very stupid to fall for this, but we’ve learned how well Americans achieve that.

We used to have a Congress that was a reliable bulwark against the worst excesses, but unfortunately the American people in their wisdom filled Congress with cowardly partisan monkeys who only worry about protecting their safe seat. We really haven’t had a Congress since the late 90s or so.

This is 100% untrue. Just a blatant lie from a man who thinks his constituents are total morons. And hey, maybe he knows them better than I do.

There’s also the fact that when faced with such a scenario, a democrat’s decision-making will be constrained by all kinds of things like laws, treaties, diplomacy, stakeholders, constitutional limits, etc, while Trump would just do whatever felt good.

This is what impunity looks like, the result of decades of partisan brainwashing. When people will vote for you just because you have an (R) in front of your name, the sky’s the limit and the people can be ignored.

Who is the audience for this message? So weird.

You don’t. There was a time, before social media gave the dumbest people on earth a platform equal the smartest, when we ignored these people and happily busied ourselves building a great society.
Just because the cranks aren’t isolated to weird corners of libraries doesn’t mean they’re not cranks.

It’s weird to live in a time where the country would be better off if the president did nothing but shut his mouth and played golf for four years. We would be fine; in fact we’d be better than fine. Our economy would be better, we’d be more united and happier.

Perhaps religion has become less of a commitment or even a lifestyle and more something one identifies with simply for the sense of self-righteousness it provides. Especially since, in social media world, self-righteousness is a valued commodity, right along with attention.

You know, you can legally punch anyone who does that. I feel it’s important to get the word out on that.

The very idea that a president has “personal time” where laws and conflicts no longer apply is just the administration’s way of saying “You’re stupid, we’re smart, fuck you.”

“Our tax cuts will grow the economy and shrink the deficit” is a fairy tale that republican politicians (who think you’re stupid and treat you accordingly) have foisted on Americans since at least 1980. Friends, in that time, republicans have never once shrank the deficit. Not once.

Someday, America might even get a Congress, which in the Constitution is the body that prevents all this bullshit.

Democrats don’t typically let scumbags last beyond the primaries. But I sense that may be changing. I’m getting the sense that democrats as a whole are tired of being the ones playing by rules and norms, and that future democratic presidents will likely want to enact the left’s version of Trumpism.

Exactly right. I don’t know what the “ocracy” word is for “Rule by internet trolls,” but we’re living it.

Amazing that they had the full story, with pictures, ready to print on November 22nd, the day it happened (at noon). Proof that the Onion was fully in on it.

Liberals have a method of dealing with this, the same method employed by Trumpers for years now:
Ignore it all. Ignore every time someone points out the connection between inflammatory language and violence. Just ignore it. As we’ve learned, if they ignore it, eventually the press will, too.

Exactly why I spend most of my life ignoring content creators, who are, as a whole, some of the least creative, least informed, and least interesting people on the planet.

The solution to a bothersome headache is never, ever to shoot yourself in the head.
Accept the occasional bad in exchange for lots of good.

No, I have spent several years wanting a cigarette. Until, one day, I didn’t anymore. It was a long road to get there.

Israeli soldiers have been killing random people in Gaza for months now, for the crime of living in Gaza. 2,000 pound bombs aren’t precision weapons. The fact that killings by IDF are conducted by a country’s army vs the action of a deranged individual doesn’t make them moral.

Ah, the old “economic growth from tax cuts will shrink the deficit” canard. Been hearing that one from republicans since 1980. In no years since have republicans ever shrank the deficit. Also in no years since have Americans caught on to the bullshit.

Saw this coming for a while. It was only a matter of time before democrats got tired of being the only ones playing by the rules.

I wonder why people whose homes are destroyed and are being starved and forcibly relocated every couple of weeks aren’t organizing a peaceful movement that cooperates with its attackers?
