  1. ā€œIf we forgive some student loans we wonā€™t be able to coerce poor people into risking their lives for a possible education!ā€ is quite the take.
  2. Oh, and by the way, this student loan relief? Was not done by an EO.
  3. lol at least Georgia runs Democrats who can win. Yā€™all let Reverend Warnock be.
  4. lol Baby Cheney couldnā€™t even keep her own seat. Donā€™t need her loser stank on any Democratic candidates. Stay home and cry into your blood money.
  5. Ummmmm ā€¦.. that wasnā€™t a fart noise. That was his junk getting chopped off.
  6. To celebrate the birth of his new heir. And for all the noble houses to put up their toughest fighters as proxy for their houses strength.
  7. Well. That was very good. The stuff that later seasons of GOT lost - and what made the earlier seasons better and gave it more depth - was the political and palace intrigue elements. This series is going to be chock full of that. Iā€™m very excited to see how they play with that. And I enjoyed the bit at the end about Aegonā€™s vision and ASOIF. Nice nod to GOT.
  8. When JOE MANCHIN calls you out on your bullshitteryā€¦ā€¦
  9. Ummm, seriously? All. The. Damn. Time. Traditionally ā€œfeminineā€ hobbies and pastimes are continually scoffed at. Find a video of teen girls and women losing their shit at a BTS or Harry Styles concert and Iā€™ll show you a bunch of men laughing at them and calling them psychos. And women who enjoy traditionally ā€œmasculineā€ hobbies and pastimes are scorned and ignored by men who enjoy the same things, at best, or threatened and harassed, at worst. See, the way the internet responds to female football fans or Gamergate. If the Finnish PM was a young man doing the same stuff, there would not be this kind of backlash.
  10. Exactly. Nobody bitches about old dude politicians hunting or playing golf or going to the theater or football games or opera or whatever. But womenā€™s interests and hobbies - especially young womenā€™s - are always mocked. Man screams and cries and loses his mind when his team wins a big game = ā€œawwww isnā€™t that great! Heā€™s such a big fan and look how happy he is!ā€ Woman goes to a concert and screams and cries and loses her mind = ā€œomg that girl is so crazy and unstableā€. Such as it ever was.
  11. God relieve me from shitty men moralizing about abortion. Fuuuuuckkkkk oooooofffffff
  12. That ā€œmajorityā€ has been remembered as something that never actually existed. Let's clear that all up, shall we? Starting January 2009, at the beginning of the 111th Congress, in the month that Barack Obama was inaugurated president, the House of Representatives was made up of 257 Democrats and 178 Republicans. There is no question that Democrats had total control in the House from 2009-2011. Even with numerous "blue-dog" (allegedly fiscally conservative) Democrats often voting with Republicans.....Speaker Pelosi had little difficulty passing legislation in the House. The House does not have the pernicious filibuster rule which the Senate uses. A majority vote in the House is all that's necessary to pass legislation, except in rare occurrences (treaty ratification, overriding a presidential veto). Okay, that's the House during the first two years of Barack Obama's presidency. For a lie to prosper, as it were, there needs to be a shred of truth woven inside the lie. It is absolutely true that from 2009-2011, Democrats and President Obama had "total control" of the House of Representatives. But legislation does not become law without the Senate. The Senate operates with the 60-vote-requirement filibuster rule. There are 100 Senate seats, and it takes 60 Senate votes for "closure" on a piece of legislation....to bring that piece of legislation to the floor of the Senate for amendments and a final vote....that final vote is decided by a simple majority in most cases. But it takes 60 Senate votes to even have a chance of being voted upon. ā€œTotal control", then, of the Senate requires 60 Democratic or Republican Senators. On January 20th, 2009, 57 Senate seats were held by Democrats with 2 Independents (Bernie Sanders and Joe Lieberman) caucusing with the Democrats...which gave Democrats 59 mostly-reliable Democratic votes in the Senate, one shy of filibuster-proof "total control." Republicans held 41 seats. The 59 number in January, 2009 included Ted Kennedy and Al Franken. Kennedy had a seizure during an Obama inaugural luncheon and never returned to vote in the Senate.....and Al Franken was not officially seated until July 7th, 2009 (hotly contested recount demanded by Norm Coleman.) The real Democratic Senate seat number in January, 2009 was 55 Democrats plus 2 Independents equaling 57 Senate seats. An aside....it was during this time that Obama's "stimulus" was passed. No Republicans in the House voted for the stimulus. However, in the Senate.....and because Democrats didn't have "total control" of that chamber.....three Republicans.....Snowe, Collins and Specter, voted to break a filibuster guaranteeing it's passage. Then in April, 2009, Republican Senator Arlen Specter became a Democrat. Kennedy was still at home, dying, and Al Franken was still not seated. Score in April, 2009....Democratic votes 58. In May, 2009, Robert Byrd got sick and did not return to the Senate until July 21, 2009. Even though Franken was finally seated July 7, 2009 and Byrd returned on July 21.....Democrats still only had 59 votes in the Senate because Kennedy never returned, dying on August 25, 2009. Kennedy's empty seat was temporarily filled by Paul Kirk but not until September 24, 2009. The swearing in of Kirk finally gave Democrats 60 votes (at least potentially) in the Senate. "Total control" of Congress by Democrats lasted all of 4 months. From September 24, 2009 through February 4, 2010...at which point Scott Brown, a Republican, was sworn in to replace Kennedy's Massachusetts seat. The truth....then....is this: Democrats had "total control" of the House of Representatives from 2009-2011, 2 full years. Democrats, and therefore, Obama, had "total control" of the Senate from September 24, 2009 until February 4, 2010. A grand total of 4 months. Did President Obama have "total control" of Congress? Yes, for 4 entire months. And it was during that very small time window that Obamacare was passed in the Senate with 60 all-Democratic votes. Did President Obama have "total control' of Congress during his first two years as president? Absolutely not and any assertions to the contrary.....as you can plainly see in the above chronology....is a lie.
  13. Good god not the ā€œSkylar was a bitchā€ nonsense. OF COURSE SHE WAS. Her fucking husband became a drug kingpin and put her life and her familyā€™s lives in mortal danger and then held her hostage in their home and marriage. Walt made Skylar a ā€œbitchā€ - she was just a run of the mill pregnant lady with a disabled son who sold freaky clown tchotchkes on eBay before her husband chose to become Heisenberg. Heā€™s lucky he wasnā€™t married to someone like me - Iā€™d have strangled his asshole neck dead and turned his ass in long before Gus was coming for him.
  14. lol this fool is going to be living off disability checks within the year.

  16. I would love to see Traeā€™s stand-up show. Heā€™s great even if he is a Vol.
