They are pissing on you literally laughing about it
This is what they’ve been working decades to achieve
JD Vance is soft on crime & hard-on for fascism.
I think you mean soft on crime, hard-on for couches
We’ll for once, he’s not wrong. If Watergate would happen today, it barely would register on the news with all the other shit going on that they cause all day every day
Fuck Vance with a couch
Fox News and AM Radio talk shows can directly tie their existence to the republicans wanting to control media after watergate.
The goal was to make it so that in the future we would treat watergate like a 12-hour story and unshackle the executive to fulfill their ghoulish dreams.
It’s upsetting looking around at everything that sucks ass and realize it’s not some terrible mistake. Every part of this system from our predatory health insurance, weak to non existent unions, inability to hold reasonable discussions are all designed. Designed by the worst fucking people who spent decades carefully executing them so that a handful of people could be rich and powerful oligarchs.
And it worked. It’s not some danger on the horizon, it’s not some horrible outcome we narrowly avoided, it’s just life, day after soul crushing day.
Fuck Vance with a couch
Why do you want to reward him?
Oh, he’s also a couch bottom?
Implicitly stating they’re doing something equally as bad twice a day
This is the reason Fox News was created. They’ve succeeded in telling a large part of the population how to think and what to believe. Those people have raised kids and taught them the same bullshit. How do we get past this if people are too ignorant to care?
I don’t think we can. All we can really hope is that these cynical and corrupt politicians get complacent and over-step the mark so blatantly that even the average Joe, who’s been spoonfed fox since a kid, can see that they’re being lied to.
Unfortunately I think it will be practically the end of civilisation before that happens. There will be folks dying in the street after the billionaires and tillionaires have taken all the resources, who’ll still be shaking their fists and saying “Thanks Obama”.
When one of the worst people you know says something undeniably true.
Yes, and that’s proof of how disgusting things have gotten. Get rid of Republicans.
and he totally does not realize this is a bad thing.
Old Dick almost seems like a bastion of integrity in comparison.
This is not an endorsement. Just an observation that rock bottom has a basement type thing.
Wouldn’t be if it was anyone besides the Republicans. If Bernie was president you’d hear about how this is what socialism gives you and wouldn’t STFU about it.
Yep this is the real answer. The real answer is “we’ve managed to use money to work the system so only people we target will be subject to consequences.”
100%
Even in the UK we have a moderately left wing potential candidate for Prime Minister who’s already being heavily criticised by the right wing media.
The sad thing is that people lap it up. When I was 13 I could see that our newspapers were wildly biased. I don’t really think of myself as being above average intelligence, but at 48 I marvel that any reasonable person would read and believe that garbage.
He’s just mad he’s not president
12 hour? That’s optimistic.
It would be blocked in all major news networks. Might see it on CBC international news in Canada.
There were protests across the US not long ago and you wouldn’t even know by watching the news.
I’m sure Tricky Dick is rolling in his grave regarding what people get away with today.
Well, he would know, having been involved in the biggest scandals to ever hit politics.
Also, when a new scandal is revealed daily, kinda hard to keep up. Such worthless piles of shit in the Whitehouse, literally robbing America/people blind.
“The deep state” … you’re the government now. Where’s the “deep state”? The deep state to them is the justice system working. Why didn’t they squash it then? Why don’t they squash it now? Because it’s a boogie man they use to scare people into voting for them. Corruption is corruption. And while Vance’s corruption is worse, that doesn’t make less corruption not corrupt. So fucking disgusting man.
