  • It's weird that you interpret something highlighted as a gaffe as knowing - right up there with those whining about Biden's speech issues.

  • What kind of idiot assumes bad-faith from criticism of lack of newsworthiness of the newest rahh politician bad post?

    That's incredible not a rational person energy.

  • If Biden studders it’s reported, and I’ve no doubt you have no problem with that

    Feel free to continue making bad assumptions. I'm not sure how a criticism of the lack of newsworthiness of Trump's latest failing somehow implies Biden stuttering is somehow newsworthy, but you do you.

  • It's kind of amazing this kind of exactly what's expected and has been shown before is considered news, even aside from it just being more bland political shit-slinging.

  • Given we already have a War on Drugs era President, this is amazing.

  • I feel like $1 million is more than enough to pay for any therapy necessary to patch up any possible resulting breaks in my psyche with plenty to spare.

    I'm pretty sure many years worth of my salary for 48 hours of extreme stress is worth it given parenthood and career already yield moderate to high stress regularly; investing the $1 million well could push up retirement quite a bit.

    Plus, let's be real - I get at least some legit rest in there.

  • Why don't you check out the data and directly refer to that early than making more bad guesses?

    The original intent of a thing is entirely irrelevant to what a thing is used for. The sheer number of things in use in day-to-day life in ways far beyond original intent is mind-boggling. And then there's the flip-side, the logical extension of such an absurd focus precludes assigning actual blame for use of a thing in the way it was designed.

    I'm not sure how you define easy, but requiring a background check is more than sufficient barrier for me. Then again, I'm not pants-shittingly terrified of inanimate objects.

  • Why can’t my queer ass think guns are awesome like c’mon

    This exact combination has begun to break brains over here in such a manner as to be exactly like the old r/Politics that made r/liberalgunowners so lovely.

  • It always amazes me the extent to which people with such absurd reductionist hyperbole seem intentionally unaware of the extent to which there's an exact mirror of oversimplification on the other side.

  • The Politics@ communities seem to be doing their best to bring that back to the right, but yes, outside of that it's leftist to a lovely degree.

  • Alternatively, neither.

    Any other bland nonsense you'd like to get off your chest? Some rabble rabble fascist, perhaps? It's amazing how the only defense you can provide to a criticism of your nonsense is mediocre insult.

  • They've got a rich history of stealing defeat from the jaws of victory - this is just more of the same.

  • I think Obama was the last time they managed to not completely shit themselves at every opportunity. Coincidentally, it was the last time they campaigned on any form of positivity.

  • No one is threatening it.

    It's beyond amazing you still fall for the same crying of wolf so often.

    Edit: I should have checked the comment history. I see you're just another stereotypical blue team cock-riding Reddit migrant.

  • Mike Pence could’ve (likely illegally)

    So... could he have, then? You seem not convinced of such a thing itself when you qualify it as a thing not supported by law therefore not binding or enforceable.

    The President, the highest elected official in the land, told Mike Pence to reject the results of a democratic process even though all legal challenges had been laughed out of court.

    Trump is deranged - water is wet and other apparent news at 11:00!

    I’m sure that happens every election though.

    Hyperbolic fear mongering and borderline delusional Presidents does seem to be a trend - one you seem to be perpetuating.

  • Again, we've been hearing variations of the same fearmongering for decades, and we've already seen parallels with either party trying the same in Congress.

    It's fortunate that we have a system of government which generally prevents authoritarian power-grab e.g. as it generally did last time around. Law is difficult to just ignore and Congress has a rich history of partisan circlejerk deadlock. But that's specific to concentrating executive branch power in the elected individual and seems to entirely miss democratic selection of individual.

    This all seems to miss the point, though - even if it was correct this time, the best blue team seems to be able to come up with is the tired rah rah vote for us or vote for fascism crap yet again. It's as if they've recognized they aren't actually going to try to bring anything to the table that voters want, so in order to try and minimize criticism of those failures, they're just tripling down on wedge messaging.

  • It's so weird seeing the IRS as one of the more prominent victims of partisan polarization, especially with a ridiculous enough promise even we libertarian-minded folk tend to react along the lines of "whoah that's pretty crazy to jump to, the budget is a system that needs adjusted with care even if - especially if - that's your goal". It's as if he's trying to cater specifically to really dumb business owners.

    I fail to see how rah rah DoE/DoC even makes sense as a campaign promise.

  • Always happy to see [party] no matter who notions rejected, especially by such abhorrent options.
