Retire, Breyer: another September 2021 US Politics thread

Which of his houses would he live in? Who would read him his mail and help him answer it? What would he do after breakfast? It complicated stuff.

This vaccination speech is not very good but the meltdowns are going to be marvelous.

this is a good line tbf

“Some of the biggest companies are already requiring this,” President Biden says of mandatory vaccines and testing.

“Even Fox News."

Just goes to show that my attitude toward judges— narcissistic dick-swinging assholes— is otm

Judges start life as lawyers, so...yeah.

Breyer's creepy grin creepier

South Dakota will stand up to defend freedom. @JoeBiden see you in court.

— Governor Kristi Noem (@govkristinoem) September 9, 2021

What does that even mean? She has no authority over Federal employees

It means she's fund raising.

(And furthermore, it's highly unlikely she'll see Joe Biden in court.)

if this is Breyer’s 12th dimensional chess to delegitimize SCOTUS I’d say that’s a little risky bruh but to tip of the hat to the fuck it let’s just be legends attitude

Playing the hits!

This speech smells like something Barack Hussein Obama would deliver.

That dude's Twitter feed reads like parody.

now that you mention it…

Biden says even @FoxNews has a mandatory vaccine policy. Is that true? That can't be true. Have Hannity and Tucker and the others gotten the vaccine? That just can't be true.

Listening to Biden dehumanizing "the unvaccinated" just like another world leader did many, many years ago. Will he make the "unvaccinated" wear some sort of a badge? Will they be granted access into stores or schools?

I absolutely believe that Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity are vaccinated. As I'm sure are 90% of the biggest anti-vaxxer mouthpieces. Being sociopaths almost guarantees that they look out for number one.

the top food chain guys are all vaxxed I mean my god let’s get real. that these weirdo low level dudes don’t get that (or pretend not to) is wild af.

rip Phil Valentine lol

(piss, btw)

OIC, we are clowning on a twitter clown, never mind me

He's a small-time Limbaugh wannabe, which gives him a 50% chance of dying on a ventilator in the next three months.

the line between True Believers and which ones just have a preternatural knack for plucking chickens is so blurry in 2021

maybe it’s always been lol

FOX absolutely has a vac policy.

From the NPR story re: JD suing Texas:

Experts said the Texas law is among the most strict in the nation...

I feel sorry for the two women journalists who felt it was necessary to be that mealy-mouthed in the story they filed.

lmao

Sasse calls Biden’s vaccine mandate “a cynical attempt to pick a fight and distract from the President's morally disgraceful decision to leave Americans behind Taliban lines on the 20th anniversary of 9/11.” pic.twitter.com/fQBVix4zPh

“reasonable”

fwiw i hope it is a cyncial attempt to pick a fight. almost 100% of democrats agree with him, and half of republicans. in that sense it's literally the best possible fight to pick!

ben's ass is at it again

Ben desperately tries to distract the media from focusing on Biden's vaccine mandate.

Ben Sasse is the idol of the Never Trumpers who think he is “principled” and "intelligent".

Everyone I know who knew him in undergrad hated him

wow that Sasse quote. What a cynical asshole

I prefer the full-on apocalyptic GOP responses.

Rest assured, we will fight them to the gates of hell to protect the liberty and livelihood of every South Carolinian.

— Gov. Henry McMaster (@henrymcmaster) September 9, 2021

This country is beyond repair. We just don't "bounce back" from 35% of the country being willing to die and let their children die rather than admit they backed the wrong horse, fell for a charlatan and based their entire worldview around it.

Tho seems to be some disagreement over whether vaccine requirements are more like Hitler or Satan. Could be both I guess.

And yeah, as sort of hilarious as the rhetoric is, it does all seem like a precursor to real armed violence in this country. Given the massive number of guns out there and the relentless escalation in how people on the right are talking, at this point it might be more surprising if we don’t end up with massive bloodshed than if we do.

I prefer the full-on apocalyptic GOP responses.

starnes trying to play that tweet off as 'sarcasm' which belies the truth that he doesn't know what sarcasm is

Not only do leftists not have a sense of humor, they also don't understand sarcasm. Hilarious and sad.

— toddstarnes (@toddstarnes) September 9, 2021

how can I get citizenship for Starnes Country

Ah, I see, the 'I was obviously joking, gah!' defense employed by every obviously non-joking douche in history.

Oh yeah, leftists don’t understand sarcasm. Suuuuuuure they don’t, sounds like someone who spends a lot of time hanging out with the left, real smart statement there. “Good one”.

Dude this entire life is a sarcastic joke

When did the memo go out about calling liberals/Dems "leftists"?

circa 1990 from Rush Limbaugh's fax machine.

I have no idea who Todd Starnes is, had to research his bio. Where in the hell do all these "award winning conservative commentators" come from? Fired from the Baptist Press, fired by Fox News Radio, purchased a radio station in Memphis to be his flagship mouthpiece, where he ll no doubt hawk his books such as "Dispatches From Bitter America" and grift for Trump.

Covid bug seems to find conservative commentators as good eatin'. Probably from all that sausage gravy seasoning, I suppose.

so that was a 'joke', todd starnes? when should we start laughing??
