Why is everyone so mean?? US Politics: September 2022

A ha ha

The "religion" that pays.

Goddamn these clowns:

The Hunter Biden industrial complex is in boom times with little sign of a recession. Conservative groups frequently fundraise off of him. Fox Nation has a four-part docu-series on him hosted by Jeanine Pirro. There is ample Hunter Biden merchandise too. T-shirts, mugs, laptop stickers, sweatshirts, hats, and even a doll in online shops on Etsy, Redbubble, Amazon, Zazzle and more. Many of them include lurid photos from the hard drive that have been published by outlets but not independently verified by POLITICO. Some counter Hunter Biden fan pages have cropped up on the left, but without the same reach.

It's the relentlessness that gets to me. It's not just that their ideas are demonstrably bad and stupid, it's that they never let them go, they never stop. Ever. I think I saw today that a Michigan group filed *another* suit to overturn the 2020 election. Two years later! Or that rogue Texas judge who just again and again keeps fucking with health care on a huge scale. Or the judicial terrorists trying to take away state election powers. Or Hillary, or Hunter, or Obama. They just keep at it, over and over again.

"It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop... ever, until you are dead!"

Yeah, I wonder if the Hunter obsession is some kind of misguided payback for all the heaps of Kushner ridicule.. who was objectively corrupt in his nepotistic business dealings.

They were previously obsessed with Obama's half brother and Roger Clinton (and Chelsea) and Billy Carter, nothing new under the sun.

Everyone hates Kushner. The Hunter thing is just ... I don't know, some combination of projection and hubris and just being assholes and probably creepily envious, too.

I mean, the President's beloved son is a crackhead who enjoys taking dick pics - the most reasonable upright opposition would be feasting upon that.

Also they’ve gotten so used to being able to control the media narrative that they couldn’t stand to see THE LAPTOP not become some oversized scandal lording over everything the way ACID WASHED E-MAILS was

(granted, this is because Hunter isn’t the one running, nor was he ever gonna get some big government position the way Kushner did, so it’s not really much of a story. I don’t want to imply that the media actually learned anything from 2016)

Thank god the hollywood liberal elites didn't bother to make a horrible film about Kushner begging in Qatar

I don’t know. I’d like to see Nathan Fielder in a dramatic role.

Michael Cera could pull it off as well

But... why are those evil liberals treating the Trumps like crimes were somehow against the law? :-)

Touch this glowing orb for a chance for 2 billion dollars.

Fielder: oh. ...okay

Middle East peace. That’s kind of a hot button issue.

I wonder what that split would need to be for the Dems not to lose the House. A lot bigger than that I bet.

These ridiculous grifters, from Trump on down, would get away with so much more imo if their egos simply allowed them to stfu.

“Arf arf” is funnier if you imagine it in the voice of DMX

These ridiculous grifters, from Trump on down, would get away with so much more imo if their egos simply allowed them to stfu.

Yeah, but part of the grift is riling up the gullible.

What Bowie called Shilling the Rubes.

the queen is nearly dead. not sure if anyone was able to read between the lines of the subtle news coverage

apparently, on the day after, this will trigger OPERATION LONDON BRIDGE, which has been in planning since the early 1960s.

It's starting

Look, if Q had the Queen whacked then maybe we need to have more of an open mind...

EXACTLY 1776 days

the patriot voice could have just said 1776 days

keep your eyes on Maricopa

You've been gone 1776 days
1776 long nights
The main drag is knowing that
You're holding someone else tight

Qanons still believe there's something in Al Capone's secret vault, just got to keep an open mind and wait for the signs

Al Capone was 48 when he died

Biden is the 46th President
When he dies Kamala will become the 47th
When she resigns Nancy Pelosi will be the 48th President

did Bashō write that

It's been 7 hours and 1776 days

Nothing Compares to Q

Good.

And didn't that come right after the courts removed the old super-draconian 1931 Michigan law outlawing abortion? Or was it the same decision?

Have any of you actually attempted to read that proposed abortion amendment?

Among the alleged run-on words: “DECISIONSABOUTALLMATTERSRELATINGTOPREGNANCY,” “ORALLEGEDPREGNANCYOUTCOMES,” “FORAIDINGORASSISTINGAPREGNANT” and “THEPOINTINPREGNANCYWHEN.”

Total gibberish, I tell you! I can't decipher a word of it! Therefore it only stands to reason: no abortions for anyone, ever!

from Politifact:

J.D. Vance, the Republican nominee for an open Senate seat in Ohio, said his Democratic opponent has disparaged the police.

"Tim Ryan called police the new Jim Crow, which I think is insulting to Black Americans, but it’s also insulting to the police officers who are keeping communities of all colors safe," Vance said in a Sep. 4 interview with NewsNation, a national cable network.

Vance’s comment appears to refer to remarks the Ohio congressman made in 2019, when running for president. But in that appearance at a town hall, Ryan did not single out or even mention the police in relation to Jim Crow — the system of laws that disempowered Black people in the South and kept the races segregated between the end of Reconstruction and the 1960s.

Ryan instead referred to the entire criminal justice system and specifically mentioned sentencing disparities for people of color.

The 2019 town hall was held at Paine College, a historically Black college in Augusta, Georgia. The Daily Caller, a conservative publication, recently wrote about an exchange from that event and resurfaced video footage of Ryan’s comments.

At the 2019 event, Ryan said:

"I believe that the current criminal justice system is racist. I believe in my heart that it’s the new Jim Crow, a new version of it. We see it all the time across the board, as I mentioned with crimes like marijuana where you’re gonna have a person of color … five to six times more likely to go to prison … than someone who’s white. And those prison sentences will be 20% longer than-than for a white person."

Not long after the Daily Caller article was published, Vance retweeted it, saying, "Hey @TimRyan care to comment?"

Ryan’s response was to tweet a 2017 video clip of Vance appearing on CNN, in which Vance said, "There are legitimate concerns that a lot of Black Americans have that they're not treated fairly by some members of the police."

Yeah, and that was back when Vance was comparing Trump to heroin (makes you feel good, isn't good for you).

I’m receiving word that JD Vance may be a hypocritical opportunist

It's the relentlessness that gets to me. It's not just that their ideas are demonstrably bad and stupid, it's that they never let them go, they never stop. Ever. I think I saw today that a Michigan group filed *another* suit to overturn the 2020 election. Two years later!

it's all diversion techniques. one group dances around and juggles chainsaws. meanwhile, on the quiet side of the room trump sells national security secrets.

i firmly believe that the real higher up conservative thinktank assholes are much smarter than anyone gives them credit for. they have no loyalty to any side except the one that keeps them in luxury. trump is obviously a complete dumbass but he's a loose cannon who will do/say anything they want. perfect distraction.

you want a diversion, this is pretty funny:

I’m old enough to remember when mainstream media treated D’Souza like a serious intellectual.

(Americans told to stay in this thread by Brits btw)

tbf it was one american asking a question best asked and answered in the editorial pages of the daily mail. i think you're still allowed to criticize the monarchy in the uk politics thread even if you're not british.

I read that thread but avoid commenting because my knowledge of UK politics is mostly informed by that thread.
