US Politics June 2021 - "Where we're going, we don't NEED bipartisanship"

At least they aren't handguns. That would be beyond self-parody.

Shot through the heart
And you're to blame
You give vaxx a bad name

afaict the entire western united states, democrat or republican or libertarian or green alike, share the belief that all of the problems in the world stem from individual belief and action. collectivism in any shape or form does not exist as a concept to them.

what about the costco collective

good morning!

this all explains why we elected a Senator named Rand

I'm unclear whether his daddy named Rand after Ayn or after the gold Krugerrand. Or both.

His birth name is Randal.

Rand Paul, the libertarian-leaning Kentucky senator and 2016 Republican presidential candidate, used to be called Randy, his wife, Kelley, told CNN.

"I remember thinking, your name just does not fit you. You don't seem like a Randy. And I started calling him Rand, and he liked it," Paul's wife, Kelley, told CNN's Dana Bash during an at-home interview.

"You don't seem like a Randy. And I started calling him Useless Fuck-knuckle, and he liked it"

Dookie Paul

I kind of think the name "Randy Paul" sounds like something from an SNL sketch.

"Oh no, watch out, it's Randy Paul!"

Enter grown man playing college student with enormous comedy boner visible through jeans.

"Oh man, am I HORNY"

Randy Paul, you're a naughty one
Randy Paul, you're a haughty one

xp that sounds more like a madtv sketch

yes, you're right.

the SNL sketch would be jimmy fallon playing a little kid, and he says "i heard randy paul was coming to school today!". then horatio sanz enters the shot, dressed up looking like an adorable baby, and he says "Hi I'm randy paul!" and jim fallon just fucking loses it, he starts giggling and then the audience can't believe that a cast member on SNL is laughing so they start laughing, and then fallon starts to crack up some more and he looks at the camera, which makes a few audience crack up loud and clear above the rest, which finally breaks horatio sanz and he starts smiling, and then fallon just really loses his composure at that point, and everyone on set and in the crowd is just losing it, even lorne michaels. the laughter becomes more like a heaving, painful collective moment and it goes for way too long, like they need to cut to commercial at that point. then darrell hammond, a seasoned veteran, speaks out of script and says "randy paul you are expelled!"

in other words, i'll take the madtv version!!

damn idk i thought the part of that snl sketch where they were all combining cronenberg-like into a single gut shuddering with horrible laughter was pretty solid, for snl i mean

xpost with Bobby Lee as a creepy, bespectacled guy that keeps coming into the video store and asking for weird film titles that don't exist

Trump's blogtweets are now archived and linked from the press releases section of his website, instead of the Desk page. Guess he'll be going bankrupt from the vast expense of having sixty 29kb html files linked from a different page, good news

Kind of a sad final message :(

Wow! I hear they have thousands and thousands of boats parading in Jupiter, despite the fact that they tried to cancel us. Everyone is having an incredible time. On this day, we especially appreciate everyone who served and fought for our great Country. I love you all!

Just wrapped an interview w/ @Sen_JoeManchin in Morgantown. He REALLY isn’t interested in doing an infrastructure bill w/ only Democratic support. Repeatedly says he thinks there will be a bipartisan deal between @POTUS & @SenCapito - and he’s not ready for reconciliation if not

we should give manchin another 5 months or so to work his magic

On this day, we especially appreciate everyone the suckers who served and fought for our great Country.

fixed

Oh come on we know he’s not going broke from a webpage but you know he’s being way overcharged for it by some other crook.

Jason Miller did not get hired on June 1st!

Mike Lindell files absurd lawsuit re election fraud, lawyer who helped him with it is immediately fired

A Minneapolis-based Barnes & Thornburg partner representing My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell is “no longer with the firm,” the firm said Friday, a day after the partner put his name on a new federal lawsuit accusing voting machine vendors Dominion Voting Systems and Smartmatic of using the courts to stifle Lindell’s claims of election fraud.

The Am Law 100 firm said the partner didn’t receive “firm authorization” for the suit and the firm is immediately withdrawing as local counsel.

cancelled!

Brad freakin Parscale. wonder what that guy is up to

helping Caitlyn Jenner's floundering campaign for Governor of CA

lol his lawsuit is that Dominion and Smartmatic legally filed suit and won and that's not cool?

"i want to sue these companies for suing me because it sucked for me"

> I hear they have thousands and thousands of boats parading in Jupiter

There has NEVER been a boat parade for Joe Biden!

would you even know, though? maybe Joe is just humble about his boat parades.

good morning!

Trump has continued posting multiple blogtweets per day to his press releases webpage. Imagine the savings!

Or the expense, whichever.

this fuckin chucklefuck

Manchin: “I believe that partisan voting legislation will destroy the already weakening binds of our democracy, and for that reason, I will vote against the For the People Act. Furthermore, I will not vote to weaken or eliminate the filibuster.” https://t.co/P1N79VG1Wa

— Manu Raju (@mkraju) June 6, 2021

“partisan legislation to curtail voting rights and partisan legislation to expand voting rights are actually the same thing because they’re both partisan”

It still amazes me the Democrats didn’t take him to the broom closet Sopranos-style and tell him to get the fuck in line or else on Inauguration Day.

count me among the folks that think Manchin, undoubtedly a huge pos, is running cover for probably some 10-15 other Dems who agree w him 100%

I heard taht idea expressed on one of the podcasts I was listening to yesterday. Major shame, could really do with the world progressing when its just come out of the shadow of regression. But, like they're politicians and while there's still money in it what do you expect.
Do wonder if there is any hope for things to be cleaned.
Drain the swamp would be a nice phrase to have some actuality to it, but it was born with stigma attached , like.

ppl will say this is doomerism, but it’s literally going to happen

GOP takes the House in 2022, refuses to certify Democratic win in 2024 https://t.co/ZLuwk62xON

oh no worries I believe it!

Will the GOP House impeach Biden in 2023 or drag it out closer to November 2024?
