Any question not accompanied by a hand job (at least).

This drunk dumbass has no business doing that job.

Life is hard and it seems like people are constantly fighting and dying around you from the moment you’re born. It’s all you know. Everyone around you is sick, destitute, and miserable. There are no jobs. You have no education. You know nothing but struggle and see no future for yourself.

The army is the only hand reaching out and offering to help pull you up, so you grab it.

I grew up in a very rural area. This describes the situation there decades ago.

I don’t have exact numbers, but I would say something like 10-15% of my class actually went on to higher education. Probably less, and definitely less than that finished.

Very, very many went into some branch of the military. When the first war on Iraq started I figured that might be our generation’s Vietnam and that many of my graduating class would be fodder for it. Luckily for them, that ended up not being the case.

In any case, songs like Born in the USA and Fortune Son really land pretty hard…

Well, that, and mail-in voting is very hard to disrupt by having people stand around in long lines during a workday or by stationing cops/ICE or whatever outside of voting locations.

And those 1 in 4 are probably unreachable.

I feel like I’m listening to a car salesman

That’s all this asshole ever was and ever will be, really. Guy made shitty real estate deals as a nepobaby failson and had a very big mouth. That’s pretty much all he is.

Most of the people in NYC, and probably most of the people on the Eastern seaboard, tended to know who he was even by the early 90s. If they paid even the least bit of attention. But that stupid gameshow and that dumb book gave a whole lot of idiots the idea that he was really something more and somehow worthy of giving any power.

Christ, what a fucking asshole.

Oh yeah, since he and his son surely promised they will kill any kind of news or entertainment that makes Pedonald have a sad.

They want to treat them like a government contractor and put them on super secret double probation, oops, I mean, they want to stop them from doing sooper dooper totally unlegal “DEI”, which, in Orwellian fashion, they call “discrimination”.

One other note - I’ve been reminded of this scene so many times in my lifetime. It’s probably one of the most true things said about American culture. Even if so many wingers and reactionary centrists have taken issue with me pointing them at this scene. Jack’s character really sees America here.

‘Course, don’t ever tell anybody that they’re not free ‘cause then they’re gonna get real busy killin’ and maimin’ to prove to you that they are. Oh yeah, they’re gonna talk to you, and talk to you, and talk to you about individual freedom, but they see a free individual, it’s gonna scare 'em.

What country are you emigrating to? How long was the process?

I think you are also on the hook to pay American taxes, too. So I guess Pedonald would be taking the “unitary executive theory” all the way to King George territory and we have taxation w/o representation for the expats, too…

Probably has a lot to do with why he’s on his third wife and drinks.

It’s really too bad they haven’t found a way to safely augment penises. This might solve so many problems with people like this…

I think Scouting America should reverse any kind of concessions they made immediately after the Jamboree, and tell these monsters that they’ll just wait them out, thank you very much, because the next Jamboree is in 2030.

Yep. These people squealed and continue to squeal about things like “political correctness”. It turns out they want everyone to bow to THEIR political correctness.

This is something that was glaringly obvious even back in the 90s when they first started Karening out over everything that was “PC”.

I wonder if this stupid Faux News host has ever even bothered to learn anything at all about the Scouts and their principles.

Exactly. What Donvict’s crime wave is doing is hollowing out everything that made us strong. The brain drain has already started.

The fuck your feelings crowd loves to mock the “reality-based community”. Which is kind of strange for a set of people that claim to value rationality over being emotional.

Why bother with such reality-based things when we have people voting based on vibes for people that have run their whole lives based on vibes?

That’s been the case for all the other attacks, including the ones he has done WITHIN the United States. No mandate and no legal basis.
