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.

Yep. I’ll be surprised if his numbers fall through the Sarah Palin Floor. Or the Nixon Resignation Floor.

Wake me up when his numbers fall below the Sarah Palin/Nixon Resignation Floor.

There are a certain set of people that support Republicans no matter what they do.

Even if Republicans completely reverse themselves on things like elective wars (Pedonald attacking and/or threatening to attack several countries), taxes (tariffs for everyone!), and deficits (see Cheney’s comments on deficits).

Back when Americans still were almost 100% operating under the stupid protein myths (these days, I think it is a least a little better, but there has been a huge rise in marketing protein to people as if they aren’t getting enough, lol, so I really don’t know if people have a better grasp of nutrition now or not, even with easily-available information sources now online. Back then, spotting a vegetarian in the wild outside of major metro areas, anyway, was like spotting Bigfoot and the very concept of not eating meat was something that made most people’s brains short out.) and virtually everyone thought you needed a big portion of some meat on your plate… my boomer parents were trying to scrape by, they would have liver about once or twice a week to make ends meet.

It wasn’t until a bit later when they read a bit more about vegetarianism that they realized they could easily sub in things like beans/rice to round out meals and not only was it far safer and a lot less disgusting, it was cheaper and had an incredibly long shelf life. And they didn’t have to worry about the family being malnourished or anything.

It’s less about him being born between certain years and more about being part of the Epstein class. Not all boomers have that many resources, either.

His advice to opt for low-grade meat, however…I’m not sure if that’s a consequence of his delusions about needing to have animal flesh in the diet or his complete lack of care for others. Possibly both.

If he had instead suggested eating less meat and subbing in things like rice and beans (especially buying and storing dried beans) to help stretch the budget, it would have at least been a bit more fact-based, especially when you consider the long-term costs of eating harmful things like meat.

Subbing in shitty cuts of meat, especially questionable things like liver…JFC. I realize even telling others to eat rice and beans is going to come off as uncaring and out of touch for someone as rich as himself, even if it’s true, but telling them to eat crappy meat? Just…wow.

How about if these wars are fought by dumbass Pedonald supporters.

Anyone that bought any of those stupid red caps or flew a Pedonald flag or wore a “fuck your feelings” shirt gets to be on the front lines…

It’s funny how many on the far right are doing the reactionary centrist pikachu face over normal Americans cutting them off. They act like it’s the liberals that are being unreasonable.

I just saw a clip of that dumbass Watters complaining about this phenomenon. Do they really think they have some kind of right to be the very worst of people and others are supposed to invite them over to their houses for things like Thanksgiving? Or that women have to not only date them, but consider them marriage material?

They like to pretend they are being cut off for merely being “conservative”, as if it was just about something like deregulation and tax policy. If that being “conservative” didn’t include so many truly gross things like misogyny and nativism and xenophobia and xtian theocracy and racism and so on, I doubt anyone would cut them off socially.

People are so tired of their shit and the fact that it has personal consequences for them makes them so mad.

But, but, but “peace president”!

Yeah. See Scott Bessent’s smirk when he answered the question:

It will just be redacted in full like so many of those pages of the Trump-Epstein files. They can send out checks that are all blacked out.

With the pedophile’s name on the check and maybe his stupid mug in an included flyer. You can bet a whole lot of low-info chuds will fall for it, too.

When is the last time they did anything substantive? I can only really think of breaking up Ma Bell. The lawsuit started in 1974 and the breakup didn’t happen until 1984.

And even if it didn’t pass back then, I doubt this administration would be constrained by such things as the law.

I expect a whole lot of shows to be completely ruined on HBO.

CNN was already quite corporate as-is, I expect they’ll become ridiculously obsequious, just like CBS.

The right wing will probably think both are still too “woke”, since they (and honestly, a lot of the centrists and low-info, too) have bought into the stupid myth of a “liberal media”, LOL. The existence of a mainstream “liberal media” in America has never really been a thing.

TBF, the reporter (correspondent?) was telling him that his claims about GDP under Biden were false, and he could look into the numbers and easily verify that fact for himself.

The guy just kept on with his bullshit. Classic Republican, being “strong” and showing “leadership”, as RWAs (Right Wing Authoritarians) interpret those concepts.

This is really the crux of our current problems. The right wing mindset adores people that say things assertively and never apologize, even if they are just completely full of shit.

The threads about this on Reddit are quite illuminating. It’s a real shame, that’s all I can say.

If these rocket surgeons get what they really want, membership will be cut by 25% by kicking out girls and honestly, the organization will probably die, or at least wither away to a wisp of its former self. Absolutely brilliant nine-dimensional chess like every other stupid fascist idea.

I see people discussing this as it has been playing out and saying - don’t give in - especially if you are a girl - since that is exactly what these pieces of shit want.

I guess former members have their own choices to make, and I respect yours. I would hope that your good memories and impressions of things are not permanently spoiled by these unhinged monsters.

This is exactly why they should not have bent the knee. They should have told him - see you in court, and then put out an offer for lawyers that would take this up for free. I bet there are a LOT of Eagles that are now lawyers that would gladly do so.

Hopefully, in six months, the jamboree will be over and the scouts can tell him, nah, we’ll wait you clowns out, since the jamboree is the biggest thing and you guys are lame ducks.
