I was listening to a podcast (Professional Left) and they played a clip of some caller who was saying the country voted for donvict because they wanted him to ignore the Constitution in order to deal with the emergency (I think she was talking about the border) and then “hopefully” he’d restore it afterwards.
JFC, these people are so very fucking stupid. I know, I know, Yahweh forbid we blame the fucking stupid voters that voted for this shit. Obviously this is all Biden and Kamala’s fault.
and then “hopefully” he’d restore it afterwards.
Because this is, of course, what happens, generally, based on historical facts.
Its well known most dictators step down, once the immediate emergency is over with, right folks?
Right?
The number of people still mad at Biden…
I work in a college financial aid office, an one of my responsibilities is outreach to former students whose loans are in delinquent or default status. This is the only part of my job that makes me want to quit, but that’s besides the point.
The number of people who rant about Biden forgiving random people’s loans but not theirs, or forgiving student loans of celebrities and athletes (that’s apparently a talking point for these people?) is staggering.
I like to remind them that 1) Biden did try to offer sweeping forgiveness of 10-20k, but he did not have the authority to do so on his own, so he acted with the authority he had, and 2) now Republicans have full control of the executive and legislative branches, so we can wait to benefit from their plan to help students. I get crickets on that last point.
Any advice on what to do about a TEACH grant that I served 3 of my 4 years ago before my state decided that trannies can’t be teachers? Did a “borrowers defense,” was told they’d maybe look into in a year lol
It’s basically the same group of idiots that thought Obama should’ve done more about 9/11.
Shit, I’ve heard people unironcally bitching about how AOC didn’t help out during 9/11.
He should have. Dude should have been born earlier, beaten George Bush when running for president in 2000, and been president to stop Osama. It’s so clear now. Thank you… /s
I doubt that she used Cincinnatus as an example
It’s this episode…about 4 minutes in. It’s just bonkers.
These people should seriously read into German history…
Or fuck, just watch Star Wars for fucks sake if real history is too hard for them.
I think you are greatly overestimating the average Americans media literacy skills.
So Star Wars it is!
The stunlock continues at pace
Found the clip where some donvict supporter calls into C-Span, advocating to just ignore the Constitution under Donvict, because, well, that’s what “the people” voted for.
Just crazy stuff. Why this hasn’t gone viral, I don’t know.
(At the 11 minute mark)

I was really surprised at first that it was a woman, but then it became pretty clear that she was an old, white woman, and then it at least made more sense. She’s (presently) unaffected by any of the bullshit that is being thrust upon women of child-bearing age, the persons of color, the non-binary folk, the young people hurt most by skyrocketing housing costs, etc; and she’s thoroughly unapologetic about her lack of empathy for any of those groups of her fellow Americans. Goddamn, what a bummer.
EDIT: Then I made the mistake of continuing to listen, and
half or moreall of the callers for the next 20 minutes are brainwashed boomers ranting about how Biden was the devil and Trump is going to save us from the illegal immigrants who are ruining all of our lives. Yeesh.You have to remember who watches C-Span enough to want to ever call in. They are, in general, not sane people.
But it does show you what some Trump fans think.
Fucking boomers. That’s all they can do is repeat the exact same talking points verbatim to what they get spoonfed on Fox News. They can’t explain why, they can’t produce numbers, they can’t even get surface deep and think about the logistics about the things they’re saying. Their minds can’t perform that kind of thought.
“Why do you like Trump?” “He’s gonna get rid of them millions of e-legals that come over the border every day” “He said he would do that last time. Why didn’t he?” “The demoncrats wouldn’t let him!” “He had control of the House and Senate and…” “NO HE DIDN’T” “Um, yes he did and he here’s proof. And if he couldn’t get it done then he is incompetent.”
Lead poisoning… It had a play in the fall of Rome . Leaded gas is giving us it’s last hoorah
The irony is that autocracy can very well end up impacting her, as well as anyone else in the country. These people never really think it through - even if they are entirely selfish, there is no way that something like autocracy doesn’t end up being very inexact as to who it ends up harming.
That’s because “woke” just means “everything I hate.” And if there’s one thing Trump hates, it’s everything but himself.
It’s defined as “Everything I might have to expend emotional or intellectual effort to understand and be placed in a position where I might be inconvenienced, proven what I’m used to doing is wrong, or demonstrate consideration that the thoughts and feelings of others might be different than my own.”
If it’s any of that, I get to be angry about it.
The party who’s caused a recession every presidential term they’ve held power in my lifetime… Might cause a recession this time too???
Try to kick the football again Charlie Brown 🤷♂️
Don’t worry it won’t be just a recession this time
I don’t know why my fellow Americans can’t see the correlation
Cause they’re dumb as fuck.
Even Trump agrees
Unfortunately that’s not how a large portion of the population sees it. To many the economy a president inherits matters more than the state they leave it in.
Might? That’s literally why the oligarchs put him in power. So they could buy everything cheap.
“Revealed”
Fuck you. Fuck anyone surprised by any of this. They wrote it down. They lied to your face and laughed when they were called out. If you are feigning surprise you’re either willfully ignorant or outright mental.
I do believe those people are called the party of “Leopards eating my face”
Blyat!
The trade wars during the late 1920’s lead to the Great Depression. The asswipe Orange Nero is making an effort to weaken the USA.
War on those who are awake?
Crash the economy and buy it up on the cheap while the masses are struggling.
That’s the plan
That means it’s buying season. Buckle up
Correct, they wanna crash the economy to buy up everything on the cheap with the play to keep doing this until the rich own everything.
Wow, really? But I thought he wanted to make Mexico and Denmark pay for things, and do all’s kinda of stuff to help people?
It’s almost like some fucking idiots voted a guy into office who doesn’t care about them, and wants to create a feudalistic state or something. Like…who ever even saw that coming?
Like…who ever even saw that coming?
Literally nobody*
*except any person having more than one braincell.
Not even a month in, champs. Not even a month.
I’m waiting for 2027 before I start being shocked at anything happening. That will be quite a year.
I’m sure they will have started grooming his successor by then. Even if he tries to push for extending term limits his cognition will be on a steep decline at that point.
It already is and they don’t care lol they won’t care until he’s actually cold
Thiel already chose Shady Vance. He doesn’t have the cult leader charisma to win a fair election, but that won’t matter anymore by then.
It really is amazing how January is 8 years long. I would have thought it was shorter, but it’s still going…
Don’t be so pessimistic! Don’t think it’s been only a month, think there’s only 47 more months to go!
You don’t really believe there will be elections again, do you?
Of course not! I was referring to the months remaining of theater. People need time to adjust, so they won’t be announcing the switch to monarchy until the last moment.
10 days of this shit so far. Can I line up to vote now?
Lol I just got the Supplies-Surprise joke. What a great movie.
He wants to make rich white christian men richer.
No, just Ha-wite people.
Not the women though
He said people. Remember that you are talking about
nazismagas. There’s a very specific definition of what’s considered people to them, and women are not included there.As if they consider women people.
“”“Despite claiming to stand for “hardworking American families” — who are typically considered to be a different category of human beings than woke Marxist transgender green-dealers, at least within the Fox Cinematic Universe”“” 😂
OK I am going to use that with a slight alteration, " Fox News Cinematic Universe" only because fox owns aliens and predator, last I checked.
aliens and predator
With the way this year is starting, I wouldn’t be surprised if even they show up.
