what gave you the impression that without Fox, nobody would be questioning the mental acuity of the “go to joe three oh three three oh” guy

turns out a mix of Obama figuring the future was someone else’s problem and the Clintons purging the DNC of anyone who wouldn’t kiss the ring left the bench in a dire fucking state

my favorite part of dealing with biden apologists is watching them flail horribly when asked “so, what that Joe Biden has done do you like”

ain’t about the kicks. it’s about the minority voters you can sell on “this woman is a fucking huckster who doesn’t give the first shit about you.”

for example, you might decide that kids missing school is more deserving of jail time than a guy straight-up stealing your constituents’ homes, on the grounds that only one of those two can give you a nice fat donation

it’s one of the more interesting bits of the Trump win. they were microtargeting minority communities with the goal of depressing their turnout. you did not hear any ads about the superpredators shit in 2016.

i’ve got some sympathy insofar as it’s ABSOLUTELY a piece of family lore that she never questioned, because why would any kid question it when Grandma says “your great-great grandma was actually native.” sure, a bunch of people who know the traditional excuse for a white kid in the american south looking a little...…

i am incredibly intelligent, and good looking

good position to cause problems for russia, good position to cause problems for china, good position to lean on the pakistan side of india/pakistan, good position to keep Iraq from going to shit (since they won the US-Iraq war, conclusively) and they’re not a ticking time bomb of ethnosupremacist violence.

Jeff Bezos Is Your Friend. Do Not Question Your Friend. That Would Be Rude.

the question in parts of the pentagon, for a very long time now, has been “how do we back out of this gracefully”

oh, no. that was the funny part. that was the reason why they put the security features in place: they discovered that a solid 10% of the Bush admin’s hires had a criminal background or were cartel-affiliated.
