I still have to hold back a big laugh right into the faces of xtians that say that about so many religions, including, sometimes, even other branches of xtianity, LOL.

Not even kidding. I've heard evangelicals say that Mormons and Catholics are "pagans".

It's kind of a systemic thing. Which one person is going to fix that?

One of the stickiest problems : I'm not sure how we get out of petroleum use when it comes to the Green Revolution, which now has a rather ironic name retroactively.

Well, we had the same idiotic bullshit of constantly talking about people's vibes on the economy during Biden's term, too, and lots of real thinkpieces about how the Democrats should not dare to bother to talk about facts, but just go with the vibes, and the vibes only, and shame on anyone for talking about reality. Most especially in the run-up to the election of 2024, of course.

I get that you have to poll people for their sentiments, though, but I wish the media would do a better job of explaining to people that there are, indeed, hard numbers we could talk about as well, and "alternative facts" are not a thing.

Yeah,

No shit

It should be 100% saying that, but a sizeable portion of this country listens to Faux when Bullshit Mountain tells them that they were "suffering" under Biden (And Obama.) and that this clusterfuck of tariffs and $5+ gas and an AI bubble is "the golden age".

Farmers suffered for years under Joe Biden

Also - where are all these people that supposedly suffered so much under Biden (and Obama)?

Are they in the room with us right now?

I call bullshit on all their gaslighting horse manure. They keep stating these things as if they are facts and facts that everyone just accepts. They do the same thing with their claims of the "horrible economy" that poor little Pumpkinhead inherited. It's all just complete nonsense; the economy was definitely going in the right direction by the end of the Biden admin.

I grew up in a very rural area and that explains most conversations I would have with people in that area.

"Welfare" was for the blahs and people considered The Other; but all the benefits these people got? Well, that was something else, because they were white.

It's the flood the zone with shit strategy from the likes of the Bannon the fascist.

I hope they can scrape it off while he's still alive. I want to see him queen out over it.

Colorado has had mail-in voting for years, but I think many people drop off their ballots at the various ballot box locations.

It's not clear whether this asshole will be able to fuck with that.

I hate Republicans so very much. They ruin everything and should never be allowed into office, on any level. I will never forgive the Republican base for what they have done to this country, either.

I remember talking to a winger about his defense contractor job. He was raging out about "government workers" wasting "his money", and so on. This was under Obama and he had just seen two people driving in a county truck on his way to work in the morning - he apparently seemed to think having more than one person doing that job was wasteful?

Anyway, I asked him, point blank - "but isn't YOUR job basically a government job?"

I thought the guy was going to pop a vein waving his arms around and yelling how it was the PRIVATE SECTOR, we have to WIN CONTRACTS with the big old mean government, and etc. I remain calm and ask: yeah, but if they are private sector, who are their customers? Are they going to sell weapons to our enemies? Why do you have to get a GOVERNMENT CLEARANCE for that job by the way?

I'm sure the guy is absolutely all-in on Donvict these days and still repeating bullshit mantras about "small government", etc. The guy had full-blown Obama Derangement Syndrome, that's for sure...

That's basically everything in PEDOnald's two failed terms.

I've already seen anti-Pumkinhead things on currency, this bill is going to be the most defaced currency ever.

Also, Bessent is such a useless suck-up.
