  1. If you think Apple is investing $500 billion in the next four years I have some oceanfront property in Arizona you'd be really interested in.
  2. This is one of those things that makes me think we're all going to die in like the absolute dumbest way possible.
  3. It doesn't help that like 75% of the conservative voices are actually just 2 different trolls who keep making new accounts and rightfully getting negged for troll bullshit.
  4. Wait, is Ana antivax now?
  5. Hey buddy, here's the Secretary of Defense saying he fired all the lawyers so they wouldn't stop him from doing crimes:
  6. It's shocking to see Ana endorsing the conquest of a weaker nation by an imperial aggressor. Wait, did I say shocking? I meant completely expected.
  7. You can come up with some subset of states that no candidate has won in the prior 50+ years pretty much every election.
  8. These "it's very unlikely the winner would've won all the swing states" arguments are always extremely dumb. It's actually very common for the winner to sweep swing states.
  9. Sure, Dems can keep telling themselves this is what they're doing. And they'll keep losing. This shit is professional wrestling and any officials at this point who don't get that need to be replaced.
  10. The shift in labor power that covid caused basically broke the brain of every billionaire businessman. Their sole focus the last few years has been putting labor back in its place, and in their minds that requires immiserating basically every American with a net worth under like $50 million. The ability to buy up assets on the cheap and further consolidate their power is part and parcel to that. Elon is out front taking all the slings and arrows on this, but they're all aligned on the goal. This is why, if we want a functioning American democracy, when we get through this we have to eliminate billionaires via massively confiscatory taxation (and criminal prosecution for any of them that can conceivably be charged with crimes).
  11. Now's the time to push the party and they needed a huge fucking push until basically this week (and many of them still do). There's good reason for a lot of Dem voters to be pissed at the apparent apathy from Dem leadership and many other Dem officials. But there's an additional problem that even when they're getting better the mainstream media basically has a blackout on covering anything they're saying and doing at the moment. A Democratic tea party is needed though and might provide the added benefit of forcing the media to lift their blackout. David Sirota can eat a bag of dicks, though. Fuck that guy.
  12. They're certainly not above it. They just almost certainly can't do it by rigging voting machines, given how decentralized our elections are.
  13. Sepsis rates in Texas are surging:
  14. On that note, has anyone seen fatty around lately?
  15. This is literally how the SS began.
  16. Don't worry, he's also been paid by China, so it balances out, right?
  17. They don't actually mean that either though.
  18. Unless a lot of Republican house reps are willing to switch parties over it, this statement is meaningless.
  19. Don't forget that that murderer was also a pedophile.
  20. No, it did. I'm not saying they gave him absolute power to rule by decree, but they absolutely made him a de facto king. There's plenty of kings throughout history that had to share power with legislatures. The key thing that made someone a king wasn't absolute legal power, it was legal unaccountability. That's what they gave Trump.
  21. They already made him a de facto king last year with their immunity ruling. They're not going to challenge him now, they're going to punt and call all this shit a political question that Congress and the White House need to sort out (knowing Congress won't assert itself).
  22. There we go, that's what it always boils down to. You can't outgrow a childish understanding of the world and can't bear any threats to that understanding, and you'll tear the entire world down in a conniption fit thinking you're maintaining order. What a barren, sunless place your soul must be.
  23. That's an argument over strategy, not goals. Bannon is smart enough to realize that Elon's poor impulse control is hurting them in the long term.
  24. "How dare people want to hold me responsible for the consequences of my actions!?"
  25. Dennison is low-key one of our worst posters.
