On Sinema at the Sinema: October 2021 US Politics thread

yeah he's really bad it's amazing

NJ is going to be fine. Virginia is going to be close!

I saw a minute of a national news interview with a Biden to VA guv Republican swing voter - Democrats made her kid wear a mask in school, etc.

A decrepit ghoul from the Clinton admin might not be the inspiring figure needed for these times, though.

"WE WANT TO DIE. JUST BRING US DEATH. WE WANT FRAPUCCINOS AND LIBERTY AND DEATH AND GUNS."

Yeah well we had a whole primary about that

Grandmaster Bash and the Seditious Five

:) I know 4 of them, but who is the guy with the tuft of hair on top?

Matt 'Jailbait' Gaetz

matt gaetz is the one above on the right, who is the one on the left?

never mind I don't even want to know

Oh wait, the other one. He's the 3%ers guy, right?

voters are so fucking stupid

Collectively, I think voters are like cats. They know what they like, they respond positively to warmth and affection, they can be grumpy and spiky, and they are wary of change and unfamiliar things.

so in other words, so fucking stupid

Re: that photo I am sad to say I know exactly where they are, just from the beams in the background.

Wish I didn't know this but I do

This seems very bad.

got a good email from Ron Paul today. it begins:

Dear Patriot,

You can tell a lot about a person based on how they treat animals.

I do not think the word “horrifying” is strong enough for what’s coming out now about the authoritarian hero of the COVID tyranny, Dr. Anthony Fauci.

I think it’s safe to say that most people would look at Snoopy, the beloved beagle character from the Charlie Brown cartoons, and NOT think about what kind of medical experiments can be done on the real-life version of him.

But most people aren’t like Dr. Fauci.

Accurate or no, a press release written with the hyperbole of political propaganda spam culminating in an embedded video of an interview on Tucker Carlson's show is ... not a great way to ingratiate me to PETA.

PETA hasn't historically been great at ingratiating people to PETA.

You must hate animals.

lol PETA are probably the most effective issue advocacy group in American history, they hold a press conference and then enraged carnivores repeat their talking points at dinner for the next hundred years.

succeeding at messaging by being consistently annoying?

wow, great idea, maybe someone could become president that way

When a press release scans like right wing agitprop (eye-roll at "*Fauci’s* National Institutes of Health"), even if it's for a purported good reason, I tune right out. I suspect a lot of these people are also anti-abortion and anti-vaccine, and have more than just eating habits in common with Morrissey.

Ron Paul should choke on human flesh

but he likes it

"I don’t know where in the hell I belong," said Sen. Joe Manchin when asked about possibly switching parties. https://t.co/QwSGnSXjt0

in a guillotine

"My little state has never complained. We’ve done all the heavy lifting -- we’ve done the mining, we’ve made the steel, we’ve done everything it took for this country to be the superpower of the world," Manchin said. "And all of a sudden they took a breath and looked back and we’re not good enough, we’re not clean enough, we're not green enough, we’re not smart enough, so to hell with you. So, they said, 'Well, to hell with you, too.'"

And all of a sudden they took a breath and looked back and we’re I'm not good enough, we’re I'm not clean enough, we're I'm not green enough, we’re I'm not smart enough, so to hell with you.

poor, rich baby

and then joe manchin was offered 3204820 quadrillion of green infrastructure money it for his WV idiots and he refused it out of principle

I'm currently freaked out by the number of stories, which is to say, more than one, of right-wing extremists essentially taking over local school boards and more or less proclaiming the right to form their own school boards. Which is ridiculous and illegal, unless it keeps happening, in which case ridiculous and illegal mean nothing like everything else means nothing, apparently.

these guys (the GOP) are fucking JOKERS, i can't help but think that they will be overwhelmed by physical force soon and die

Good afternoon!

“Who knew that Infrastructure Week would stretch out to become Infrastructure Millennium”

these guys (the GOP) are fucking JOKERS, i can't help but think that they will be overwhelmed by physical force soon and die

the physical force generally seems to come from the other direction

geez that thread on the Garland hearings! remind me why he was the pick for AG at this point in time? this is not the same fucking world where he was snubbed for the supreme court spot.

My mother was saying something similar - why THIS guy?

Manchin, speaking with reporters, said, “I don’t like the connotation that we’re targeting different people.” People, he added, that “contributed to society” and “create a lot of jobs and invest a lot of money and give a lot to philanthropic pursuits.”

Yeah but percentage wise, they don't pay that much taxes either dickhead.

If I could keep all my wealth in the stocks and holdings and then take out loans against for pennies for cash in hand based on them to avoid paying income tax, I would too. Those interest rates being kept artificially low since 9/11 have made the ultra rich a F-ton of money, as they can literally borrow money for nothing.

and chicks for free

I'd love to be able to get multiple states to bid on me buying a house and not have to pay any taxes on it for the pleasure of moving there and setting up my 'company', but you know what - I don't get that break a$$hat.

Or maybe I would like to get the public to build me a garage to house my band or maybe I will move my band to another state like Bush did with his baseball team starting all sorts of pro sports teams doing the same.

Or maybe I could take some of my excess income and create philanthropic pursuit and in this 'non-profit' hire all my family and spend the money on my own companies and then write the whole f'ing thing off my taxes including the collection jars we put in our stores for people to donate to the cause.

These vampires get all sorts of benefits that don't count as 'income'. May they all burn in hell.
