    In other news, Taco is a flaming asshole.

    I thought we already “won” weeks ago?

    WTF is this about paying more for this clusterfuck? To the tune of cutting off services that so many rely on?

    House of Cards has a season where Kevin Spacey starts a fucking war to cement his position. It’s literally playing out in the white house right now and I can’t fathom why more conservatives aren’t pissed about this.

      You don’t hear more conservatives complaining about this because half of them are blacked out from how hard bombing foreigners makes them, and the other half are too busy jerking it in their truck to the thought of liberals getting “”“owned”“” at the gas pump. We live in a reality that is a parody of itself.

        I think that you give them too much credit. Most are just too stupid to know what’s going on.

      pretty sure the GOP is banking on “voting” no longer being an actual thing in the near future

      in other words, no, they don’t give a fuck whether they have a “voter base” or not

        May be the endgame. While the Southern Strategy was all about securing enough voters in a functional system through various means, the next step is just removing the voting issue altogether and gain even more power.

          after they cheat their way to retaining majorities in both house and senate in these upcoming midterms, it’s all over. anyone who thinks there’s any chance of coming back after that is still delusional. “make sure you go out and vote!!” lol, ok…what do i do when they throw away all the ballots that aren’t straight R all the way down?

          personally, i think it was already all over when everyone allowed the GOP to steal the scotus nomination from obama. and THEN the GOP threw their own “rule” that they made up on the spot out the window to allow trump to nominate his third scotus justice.

          everyone who is or was in a position to prevent the millions of steps require to get to this point-- they’re all complicit

            I don’t disagree, but also I remember when the SCOTUS handed the 2000 election to Bush and ordered Florida (incidentally governed by George’s brother Jeb Bush at the time) to halt the recount. They’ve been stealing power for a while now.

    I mean, imagine an Iranian American regime who, instead of spending billions of dollars supporting terrorist groups Israel and building up all of these weapons, had invested that money into Iran America, for the people of Iran America, so they wouldn’t have water healthcare shortages, so their economies would provide opportunities for an incredible people.

        Hey now, Voldemort did that because he was getting revenge on his bullies. The books clearly demonstrated that Harry’s dad was a total dick to Tom Riddle. Unicorns died because Hogwarts had terrible anti-bullying policies. It’s like the author is pro-bullying or something.

          I feel compelled to point out that it was Snape Harry’s dad bullied, not Tom Riddle.

            My bad. I haven’t touched any of those books in ages. The ones on my bookshelf probably have mold growing on them by now. It hasn’t turned me into a TERF yet so it hasn’t spread to the walls of my house.

    At what point will this piece of shit be [ Removed by Reddit ] ? It’s really only a matter of time with as many people as he’s pissing off. The unhinged republican voters are the most dangerous, and he’s getting awfully close to pissing them off.

    The fucking video player not once played what the title suggests. But he did ask them to buy oil from us. I know he lied when said we have plenty. How much do we have?
