First, I was told by a total MSNBC-watching, immigrant neoliberal mom that she took out a book on Kamala Harris for her son. Made me look at her different after that. Contempt then gave way to pity.
The propaganda machine relentlessly churns on, while we have this place.
What’s the latest in The Rat? I bet that overly ambitious robot mf-er is gearing up big-time for another run.
Get me the fuck out of this surveillance police state, capitalist dystopia!
At least my kids know better when they see cops, the flag or advertising, all of which are suspect to them now.
He had a focus group decide on what was the most appealing book cover.
the :cia: mainstream media has been trying to get him a big moment lately
What’s the latest in The Rat?
He wrote a Twitter thread where he was so proud he finessed $120 dollar voucher for flight delays from an airlines and all the quote tweets were like "My guy you are the head of the dept. of transportation".
Seriously, I’d love to read a book on how NOT to produce a Mayo-like kid as a Marxist parent … like what went wrong where … ?!

Biden's least-worst policy is being "the trains President" and throwing a nice chunk of change to Amtrak in the infrastructure bill. Why the fuck was his secretary of Transportation in the news because his NY to DC flight was cancelled???
No party discipline smh
I'm not even saying I expect all the high ranking officials to have to travel by rail, but yes, I absolutely expect senior DOT officials including Pete to ride the one somewhat HSR line in the country when applicable. Fucking embarrassing (to them, not to me obv).
It's doubly bizarre because the Acela is far and away better than a flight from DC to NY in every possible way. It's faster, more convenient, more comfortable, brings you into the city centre rather than Queens or NJ, and is the same price (sometimes cheaper).
Where I live is great for some of the most naif lib-brained children's books. Always a treat when I go to the bookstore
You wonder how these things get published so quickly and its like, they just feel so safe in manufacturing history that they print it before its occured
The shelf-life of these books is measured in hours. You're never going to see a second printing.
Hillary would have won in November and then spent the next 24 hours plugging her book.
And then 24 hours after that Donald Trump would be pushing his book "How I Actually Won But the Demoncrats Stole The Election".
And 24 hours after that, it would be "DOW 80,000! How the Crypto Boom Signals A Thousand Years of Economic Prosperity And You've Got The Opportunity To Cash In On The Ground Floor!"
If this shit isn't waiting at the cash register when the news cycle hits, they don't turn a profit.
Isn’t that inherently disgusting though? I feel like there’s this Sanctity we grant books where if something is in a book its seen as having things to say worth preserving.
I think its cheap and skeezy, particularly when these books get dumped into a library like its a garbage bin.
But there's nothing magical about books as a medium.
It also ya know, takes trees to make. If a book is more useful as kindling to keep warm than for the information contained within, think we as a society should see it as shameful that it got published.
I agree on principle, but I have no idea how a capitalist society organizes such a principle in practice.
Creepy. And purely American entrepreneurial, I’d say.
Like all those Super Bowl and World Series shirts, caps and mugs that get printed for the losing team, which then get sent to obscure towns in Africa or Laos or something.
Do you recall what the store did with them after she lost? Heh…

He's been in seclusion for the past week furiously masturbating until his skin has been rubbed raw once he saw people talking about a Newsome/Buttigieg ticket.
I feel bad for the kids who have their parents buying this for them. Can't think of a single kid that looks at this and feels inspired by a former mayor of the 310th largest city in the US.

I mean, the Former Mayor of the City of Burlington managed to be pretty inspirational for a minute. Meanwhile, the mayors of LA and Chicago and NYC routinely shit the bed.
Pete's problem isn't that he failed to be in charge of a large enough municipal bureaucracy. He's suffering from terminal empty suit syndrome. Just like Kamala Harris and Beto O'Rourke, he's a placeholder for whomever is cutting the checks.
But the former mayor of Burlington was a Senator and referred to as such during that time. But your point about him being a placeholder is very true.
Great argument for book-burning (though I'd really suggest recycling it)
