Nativism, cognitive dissonance, projection, etc.; it’s weird sometimes, but 2016 genuinely broke a lot of people’s brains and they’re looking for a framing that helps them make sense of things. You have to remember that while lots of liberals might find the over-the-top flag worshipping brand of patriotism flogged by…

The kneejerk need to cast everything happening now as some sort of Putin plot, and the bizarrely homophobic fantasy of Trump as his sub/lover/toady, mostly helps liberals ignore their own primary causal role in the dystopian hellscape that is the modern US. By positing a false past where the US wasn’t a dystopian…

Nah, he’s doing an excellent job. Dump isn’t an agent for Russia as such - he’s too stupid and egocentric to ever be able to function in such a capacity. Instead he’s simply an agent of chaos, acting inside the U.S. gov’t, weakening it from within while sowing dissent and dividing the populace.

The GOP controlled all 3 branches of the gub’mint from 2016-2018 and they installed enough fed judges to wreck this country for a while.

This. He’s going to spin it as “these dishonest contractors giving us Them Illegals as labor! We’re Good People now that we’ve flushed out those companies and decided to hire Real Americans (tm).”

No doubt. But that won’t help when all his undocumented labor flees. He’ll either have to hire citizens at minimum wage (at least) or lose business. Either way, he takes a hit.

This is why we need President Biden. Think how much more effective this roundup would be if it was bipartisan.

Shoot this motherfucker.

You did get what I was saying, which perhaps I didn’t phrase very clearly? I know some (not all) DSA folks think the Democratic Party can actually serve as an appropriate vehicle for implementing a bold agenda (I used to be one of them!), but given how aggressively the party reacts to even the mild leftism of someone…

I don’t want to work with Democrats anymore

If I ever create a genetically modifying virus that randomly switches people’s genders and physical traits around, I’m going to give Biden a duck dick that constantly tries to go into his own anus that he has to extract every time he wants to take a dump.

Exactly. But, instead of toning it down, the Dems should amp it up with how utterly awful that is. They need to raise voices with red faces and tears.

how am i supposed to cook something for you if you used all the ingredients?

thats qüiet riöt, i think.

Has he considered applying to Prager U?

“Only Congress can declare war”

Could you be more specific?

Same as In-N-Out as far as their burgers (all fresh ingredients, made to order). They also are 24hrs, have an all the time breakfast menu, offer cream gravy with their chicken tenders, biscuits and gravy on the breakfast menu, spicy ketchup and jalapenos, and the default beverage is Dr Pepper.

Toasted buns, so it’s not a mushy mess.

Is there a difference? The US, Israel and Saudi Arabia have been working together to start this war for a long time. No difference who’s doing the grunt work.
