A train crashes and spills poison everywhere thanks to bipartisan deregulation.
"This wouldn't have happened if the Secretary of Transportion wasn't gay."
"I may be gay, sir, but at least I know what a slide rule is."
"The Secretary of Transportation claims to care about wokeness and yet he slanders the calculator industry, curious."
"I never intended to insult Texas Instruments with those remarks."
"The liberals are trying to cancel Texas Instruments for defying the woke agenda."
"The trumpsters are trying to cancel Texas Instruments for backing Mayor Pete."
"Math is communist and trans people are evil."
"Math isn't communist, it's socialist, and trans people aren't evil but they aren't great either."
"Secretary of TransporGAYtion Pete still hasn't apologized to Mr. Carlson for those 1984 level comments."
"Mayor Pete rode his bicycle down a hallway in response to Tucker Carlson's claims about Kamala Harris's sneakers."
By this point the poison from the train crash has reached the aquifer.
This is American politics, now and forever.
You basically captured the entirety of it. This should be printed instead of those 400 page academic political books
By this point the poison from the train crash has reached the aquifer.
Well, that aquifer deserved it for living in a district that voted for Donald Trump.
Godamnit this is the type of comment that made me miss /r/cth for the longest time
Looks like we are back to top tier posting o7
I have expended too much thought on trying to figure out what on earth he's saying, and my best guess is that Carlson is an Ivy League rich boy who has never bought bargain clothes, while Mayo Pete is a man of the people who knows where the poors shop. What does this have to do with him sucking at his job? Not a lot!
Now I'm just a simple, salt-of-the-earth, country son of two tenured university professors and a Harvard/Oxford alumnus...
It's so bizarrely clinical even as a 'I'm just a regular joe' bit.
It's like he's reading from a positioning chart in some marketing deck for a budget online clothing brand. Maybe it's just because I'm not American, but it doesn't feel like something anyone would actually think. It doesn't reference anything emotional or pleasurable, it doesn't use brands that are synonymous with anything, and it doesn't hint at any kind of Americana or nostalgia.
Even his 'relatable' schtick feels like a McKinsey report on retail trends.

Thank-you for saying this, I almost thought that only I was the one out of the loop
Is this where the whole TJ Maxx-Kohls debate emerged from?
Actually nevermind that, I can't believe how fucking asinine this all is. People's live are going to be deeply affected by this and all these fuckers can do is provide cheap soundbite for their baying followers. What a fucked up society:doomjak:
What a fucked up society
We don't actually do politics anymore, it's just about pandering to your base and earning owns on the other side. Shit like changing people's material reality for the betters been off the books for decades, it's only going to get worse.
Tfw you and your entire city are dying of cancer from being exposed to extremely toxic chemicals from a completely preventable industrial accident and being unable to afford Healthcare treatment without putting yourself into ten lifetimes worth of debt but at least the politicians in charge of preventing this from happening in the first place are on TV reenacting the scene from Idiocracy "Ow my balls!" To own each other for your entertainment.
What do those stores have to do with his job?
Is he now Secretary of Slacks?
You think the beer-hazed husbands waddling through those stores know the difference either? What a weird comeback...
It's almost like the snivelling little rat fuck has to do something related to transport, as his job title suggests, instead of as he thought, coasting for four years just to set up another flaccid President run.
For all his striving to be a main character from The West Wing, he's basically a secondary character from Veep.
