“It’s a little too quiet” - US Politics February 2021

kudos DJP

Truly amazing.

I'm the best there is at what I do and what I do is extremely trivial

I'm violently happy

state of emergencyyy
we need covid
relief

xp is he also the first millennial cabinet member?

Yes. He's also the youngest cabinet member since RFK, a distinction previously held by Andrew Cuomo.

A+ work DJP, the last three lines in particular would flummox most, and demonstrate the skill you bring to the table

"possibly maybe" btw also captures basically how i feel right now about a huge raft of potentially super major legislation

as though taking in cash is going to somehow keep her from getting cut from committees or expelled.

Proving to the party that you're a reliable money-generator seems like a totally plausible way to keep from getting cut from committees or expelled!

She could diversify into mail fraud and be promoted to leadership!

Meanwhile on the 'we are still fucking in ruins over the lawsuit' news

Newsmax invites Mike Lindell, who advocated for a coup and spews dangerous conspiracy theories, on air. It didn't go well. pic.twitter.com/6xzSgXlHua

^ Ned, that made my day!

That Newsmax video is fucking hilarious. Liiiiiiike...how exactly did they expect that to go?

It's like getting on a people mover that carries you directly to the property of someone who has a restraining order on you. WHOA, HOW DID I GEF HERE AND HOW DO I GET OFF?!?!?

I wasn't gonna watch the whole thing, but I was so glad I stuck with it when the guy in the middle literally got up and ran away.

Biden really needs to re-enter the Iran agreement ASAP. No good for not doing so imo

That clip was incredible. "Can we get out of here, please?" That plus the Axios thing from earlier ... I can totally imagine everyone in the Axios piece sounding like a raving Lindell lunatic.

Guy in the middle is all "please don't drag me into you billion dollar defamation case."

'let's talk about how awful it is that you were deplatformed'

'yes! and it's all because i had the courage to say--'

'whoa whoa whoa'

To be fair, just think of all the crazy shit he's been unable to tweet that's just been simmering in his brain.

I keep replaying the look he gives to camera right before he runs off set. Comedy gold.

i'll never hear the original version of that song again now lol xxxposts

in case you never have

holy lol

Per sources, Biden is telling Senate Democrats on their virtual lunch how he told Republican senators yesterday that their package was too small.

(snickers)

xxpost oh I know it's not Bjork's original, that's just the version I hear the most often

oh man that newsmax clip was so good thank you ned

yes, magnificent

Jennifer Carnahan, the absolute dummy who heads up the Minnesota GOP, is tight with Lindell and like I dunno, there's probably a 30% change he's our new governor

Meantime speaking of fools

a @wsbtv exclusive at 6: I've confirmed @GaSecofState has launched an official investigation into whether attorney Lin Wood voted illegally. Wood was 1 of most visible, controversial people claiming illegal voting in GA - now state is investigating if he was really a GA resident pic.twitter.com/wymswC17ug

xp can't see how he could possibly be elected in Minnesota

Y'know, I'd never heard Lindell speak before, and his voice kind of reminded me of Jesse Ventura.

heh same

he's way crazier than Jesse Ventura

If you're going to elect a former crackhead, isn't Andrew Zimmern from Minnesota?

Pillow guy - chaotic evil; Ventura - chaotic neutral

james adomian has both of these guys locked down

People on Instagram are VERY upset that the Newsmax man was rude to the MyPillow man pic.twitter.com/MN1FVHUti0

Fair enough, but the pillow guy didn't shut his mouth for one second.

Jen Psaki mocked our service heroes.

There is nothing funny about the Space Force.

— Brigitte Gabriel (@ACTBrigitte) February 2, 2021

Or, alternatively, there's everything funny about Space Force.

In even dumber news, somehow, though...

UPDATE: Some senior Dems are looking at lowering threshold on stimulus payments so they start phasing out above $50K for single taxpayers; $75K for heads of households; & $100K for married couples

xpost If she's talking about the TV show, she's probably right.

Honestly, creating the Space Force was one of maybe 3 things the ex-president did in four years that was funny, rather than depressing, disgusting or infuriating.

lol @ those Adomian videos

the space force reply thread has some gold in it

Sorry but every time i see this thread title I think of TMNT2

nothing he did seemed funny at all to me, it was all sinister

Agree. My grandfather is a veteran of the Space Force and this sickens me. He didn't witness attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion, or watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate so future generations can disrespect his service.

sorry to curse this thread more than is strictly necessary with brigitte gabriel content but this made my jaw drop so now it can make all of your jaws drop too
