It’s really fucking baffling that the democrats in complete control have actually been worse than the end of Trump’s term. I’m actually starting to go back to thinking this is complete incompetence and not malice. This is amazingly incompetent.
not malice
I disagree. Goodness requires effort and I see zero effort happening by DC democrats. From today...
Pelosi: "I want the Republican Party to take back the party to where you were when you cared about a woman's right to choose, you cared about the environment. Here I am, Nancy Pelosi, saying this country needs a strong Republican Party. Not a cult."
Pelosi is Catholic. I think it might be possible that she believes poor women do not deserve legal abortion because the poor don't deserve anything and like the worst Catholics she thinks that suffering is actually good.
And I think the vast majority of dems in DC do not want to do anything on abortion because they can campaign on it, fundraise off of it, and it makes campaigning easy. I think it's a similar case for other issues like actually fucking doing something about climate change. Not only does Pelosi know she's full of shit on climate - she knows the dems have no real interest in doing anything on that either. Same deal - the dems can campaign on it and fundraise off of it year after year.
Seriously. It's like the difference between an anti-vaxxer and a snake oil salesman. They're both profiting off of, and prolonging, our suffering.
Earlier today I saw this tweet by an epidemiologist...
Back of the napkin calculation — if the Gridiron dinner outbreak had a 14% Attack Rate… there would be 458 infected at [The White House Correspondents' Association Dinner].
Biden is 79 and he risked his health by going to that rubber chicken dinner slash guaranteed superspreader event to show that everything is okay and we are in a new normal. Fauci is 81 and he stayed home. He complained to them later in private.
The entire thing was (and is) Trumpian. But if you tell a lib that - you'll get a lecture and a reminder that there are vaccines so it's entirely different. On a daily basis I feel like a crazy person.
It can be both. There's thousands of people involved and most of them don't like each other. Some of the most critical players have alzheimer's they can't quite keep under wraps. And they're all ardent capitalists. They can be malicious and incompetent at the same time as a gestalt, even while some of them are very competent within specific scenarios.
For instance, they can keep shoveling money in to Ukraine because they all agree on it, while at the same time the Democrats have no real awareness that the GOP is plotting to kill them.
You are corrent in all points but half of us here called it that things would be worse under biden.
i had a really terrible feeling almost immediately after the election was basically called…. 18 months later here i am still doing dope i literally cant stop this is a dumpster fire if a country
Yeah true. I thought things would very mildly improve in the short term, and then whiplash to something worse than Trump in 2024. But lately I’m genuinely missing Trump, this level of evil has been fucking shocking
A trump making libs hate America is the best we can hope for out of politics
That's OK, China is developing several, and we know they're willing to sell their vaccines cheaply.
Broke: China isn't socialist.
Also broke: China is socialist.
Truly bespoke: I don't give a FUCK, PLEASE I just want government that actually functions.
Basically this. I'm so desperate for a functioning country.
Woke: China is comunist and has seized the means of vaccine production
Cronenberg is 79. I just realized that I hope he makes a virus-themed movie before he dies. A Cronenbergian horror-parody of the last couple years in the US might be awesome.
Capitalist countries be like "Here's a billion dollars, evil corporation!"
"Medicine to save countless peoples lives and keep our country alive? Whoops looks like I just ran out!"
Because they're saving that money for the upcoming Megatron variant, right?
Its just a matter of time until i catch it... :sadness: I work retail, its crazy that i haven't got it yet (to my knowledge)
