I remember how smug libs were when they were dangling that $2,000 carrot over everyone’s heads in 2020, saying things like “at least we know Biden won’t be vain enough to hold up the process just so the IRS can put his name on the check.”

Then we were shorted $600 (or more, if the clattering neoliberal machine deemed you unworthy of additional help during a pandemic) and that check came with an additional piece of paper with a long winded thing about where this money came from, concluding with “this [$1,400] fulfills a promise I made to you.” So on top of getting fleeced by these slimeballs and gaslit about how “600+1400=2000,” those of us who received our crumbs were treated to a full page ad where Biden congratulates himself for a job mediocrely done. I remember thinking, “surely this was an unnecessary waste of time and ink, and likely delayed the distribution of the checks” but of course because it wasn’t done by a

I have a turbolib friend that was needlessly combative with me when I brought up Joe’s long history of scumbaggery prior to even getting the nomination. I’ve been practicing for this year’s inevitable arguments, but I feel a lot more secure articulating my positions now that I’ve fully broken out of the lib cage.

Stopped reading at "Communist Russia." Who do I

They probably dropped out of schiool.

The response should be that they’re lucky they’re making it out with only their cash flow destroyed

Man, that thread

On a related note, I see so many “these dumb terrorist-sympathizing kids only heard about Palestine from TikTok” comments in there. Where did this piss-tier talking point come from? My father used it in an argument recently and I know he has no clue what TikTok is, so my presumption was that it originated on Fox, but I’ve seen plenty of libs using the same line. Is it just today’s version of “the kids don’t know anything because their minds are rotten from watching too much dang TV?” Where do these clowns think their blind defense of Israel came from anyway?

… is usually the first reply to that point and it's like nails on a chalkboard. Digging a little deeper into it reveals that this was not the case

Everyone went back to brunch once the IBEW—a union that represents ~5% of the industry and doesn't even represent the train crews whose rank-and-file were intent on striking—did a press release praising Biden for a measly 4 sick days (that were watered down from the 14 the unions were initially striking for or the 7 in the PEB-sponsored agreement) and didn't address the insane precision rail scheduling and draconian attendance policies imposed by the freight carriers, nor is the new policy universal across all unions. It infuriates me to no end that the gaslighting operation was once again successful, just like with Covid/Covid checks and the infrastructure bill switcharoo. People believe that these things were well-managed by Brandon and the Dems and it drives me nuts. Like, these motherfuckers stripped workers of one of the central tools they have to fight for better conditions without breaking a sweat, then stuck them with a joke of a deal and proceeded to pat themselves on the back (amidst a catastrophic rail disaster, no less!). It's truly a sickening country.

Lmao this is awesome. Extremely critical support to the House GOP and Tuberville in the Senate for doing their parts to hamstring the US war machine thanks to their stunning incompetence and/or stubborn contrarianism.

A stage collapse would be acceptable. As long as it hurts the entire time

That’s the difference when the good guys are in charge

Do you have any proof that PRC citizens are forced to vote lol what the fuck even is this shit man. ::: spoiler spoiler

It must be embarrassing that a bunch of teenagers can expose just how devoid of any value liberal “ideology” is simply because they’re capable of reading books.

Bill Hicks continues to have the only moral and correct take on advertising and marketers.

My first thought was actually Nickelodeon’s Doug lol.
