America - The Official Thread

[Blitz24]

Too easy to own-goal and then wonder why little gets done.

Republicans have no problem calling people out. Moderate Democrats have no problem not calling people out.

 

[Liquid]

Old Democrats try so hard to not be the bad guys in any way that they are unaware how wet blanket they appear to everyone else. It's pathetic.

 

[UKMikey]

Radical socialist Biden, y'all.

 

[Liquid]

Unless it's a galaxy brain play in that calling congressional Republicans good guys means that their immature contrarianism means they have to say how evil they are.

Radical socialist Biden, y'all.

HEY! Radical socialist? That’s Bernie’s title!

"Modern civilization will not perish unless it does so by its own act of self-destruction.…Only inner enemies can threaten it. It can come to an end only if the ideas of liberalism are supplanted by an antiliberal ideology hostile to social cooperation."

Cybersecurity lawyer Michael Sussmann indicted on allegations of lying to the FBI. Sussmann, who is linked to the 2016 Clinton campaign, is the second individual indicted in the Durham investigation into the origins of "Crossfire Hurricane," now 28 months in.

By comparison, the redacted full final Mueller report on an investigation that resulted in multiple convictions was released to the public 23 months and countless protestations by Republicans about cost and duration after special counsel's appointment.

Marcy Wheeler has been following and reporting on the Durham investigation basically from the beginning, and has an ongoing thread on today's news.

MTG does it again, heterosexuals will be gone in only a few generations

Marjorie Taylor Greene Predicts Straight People Will Soon Be Extinct

Marjorie Taylor Greene has previously been critical of the trans community and her latest comments have started to go viral on Twitter.

In unrelated (old but topical) news, a Texas gun-rights advocate group staged a mock Charlie Hebdo attack (because bad taste doesn't exist in Texas it seems) to show how effective it would have been if the CH staff had been armed.

The end result was that even with the advantage of knowing they would be attacked, only one of the gun-owning volunteers survived by, checks notes, running away!

A Gun Rights Organization Staged a Re-Enactment of the "Charlie Hebdo" Shooting

How would the French cartoonists have done if they’d been armed with rifles instead of pens?

Posted this in the cursed thread. I guess we don't need to worry about the human race lasting much longer then!

Damn I had a quick check, must have missed it. Still MTG idiocy needs to be shown far and wide.

 

[Blitz24]

This sounds like they have nothing to hide and it's the state at fault!

Nothing says "we did our job" like refusing to cooperate.

Ah.

Tubby looks like he was caught unzipped watching kids on a playground. Definitely one to be taken seriously.

Ah.

Republicans top beliefs as to what is causing mass shootings:
1. Doors
2. Video Games
3. Mental Illness
4. The Internet
5.....

1,043,049,302,102. Buses that arrive on time.
1,043,049,302,103. Getting hit by a bus.
1,043,049,302,104. Bus uprising in tandem with the robots.
1,043,049,302,105. Gun.....nar Nelson.

MTG may well be the dumbest politician that I have ever seen.

Sorry for the off topic but allow me to introduce Pauline Hanson.

 

[Chris30]

What was he trying to prove with that statement and gazpacho police!?? I know I said I wasn't gonna post here in a while but I couldn't resist!!

What does Pauline Hanson have to do with this issue? Guess i'll watch the video.

I live in England, so I can rest easy as 1,043,049,302,102 will never apply.
If it did ever turn up on time, 1,043,049,302,103 would be a certain consequence of the above.

 

[Famine]

What "he" are you talking about?

"Gazpacho police" was something said by Marjorie Taylor Greene, when she meant "Gestapo", because she's impossibly dense - but she's no "he". She has said a number of other crushingly moronic, including the recent "peach tree dish" (petri dish).

They're known as "malapropisms", although they really should be renamed to "marjapropisms" given the frequency with which she says (and types: "marshal law", for example) them.

The flip from the Trump camp on Proud Boys and QAnon is kind of odd.

Perhaps it's cosmetic window dressing as he's still reTruthing QAnon memes.

Hospitals notoriously have too many doors.

5 people dead at Tulsa medical building, in the 233rd mass shooting of 2022

"Four innocents and one shooter" are dead, says Jonathan Brooks of the Tulsa police department at a news conference on Wednesday.

[FuriousDemon]

What are some public places we haven’t had a mass shooting at recently? Airports maybe? Anything else?

 

[TexRex]

Airports maybe?

Anything else?

Renaissance Faire?

 

[Blitz24]

Pharmacy? Hardware store? Pet shop? All I know is that these places have possibly too many doors and that's why people are getting killed.

 

[Populuxe]

There have been no mass shootings in my bedroom.
