The question isn't rhetorical. I want to know if I'm the only one getting a chuckle out of the really horrible headlines each day. This is a new phenomenon for me and I want to know if others are feeling the same thing. Politics aside, you'd have to admit the USA is a bit more chaotic than years past right now, and that's not some kind of liberal spin -- it's true.
I've heard it from more than one person that it was a "blowout". Well, the margins were a lot closer than that, if you ask me. Kamala wasn't my favorite person on the planet, but for sure, I knew she wouldn't cause as much chaos as Trump would, and I very much did want her to get in as President. Unfortunately, the less reasonable among us were victorious and now they are getting EXACTLY what they asked for. They just weren't aware of it at the time. I wish I could say a lot of people will be learning a lesson right now, but they will just continue to blame things on Biden, even as Elon Musk is busy blocking all their Social Security checks.
I’m struggling to believe these articles are anything but pandering to the left.
There's not exactly any good news to go around, so chuckling at the misfortunes of others is all we have. I'm very aware I'm on the same sinking ship. My only hope is to stay alive while this happens and hopefully still be on board when the holes are patched.
I don’t know what the appropriate response is. Empathy is hard.
Sorry, my tank is empty from the constant bullshit during COVID. Can't wear a mask to help prevent the immunocomprised? Well, here's your FREEDOM. It's finally here. I hope they get what they were wishing for. All those red states wishing us ill while the blue states supported them with our tax dollars. No more! Don't wan't FEMA? Wish granted! Good luck on those hurricanes!
They will probably disappear off the map because Trump will be the one drawing it. Does anyone else remember him marking up a hurricane map with a black magic marker because he didn't agree with the National Weather Service?
He also told the daughter it wasn’t named after her for most of her life.
I may be misremembering but I think she wasn’t a child anymore by the time he acknowledged that he was her dad.
Sure, just like he told her about Santa Claus for most of her childhood. You're right in that he did come up with some ridiculous backronym like Local Information Storage Architecture or something but let's be real -- he didn't have a lot of daughters and he could have named that computer ANYTHING. That computer was named after her, full stop.
[Scene: The Oval Office. JD Vance, the Vice President of the United States, is seated at his desk. Pete Davidson, a reporter, enters the room with a notebook and recorder.]
Pete Davidson: So, Mr. Vice President, I've been looking into your role here in the White House. Can you tell me what you do?
JD Vance: [smirking] Well, let me tell you. I deal with the goddamn politicians so the lawyers don't have to! I have people skills... for people who are trying to get things done!
Pete Davidson: But... but isn't your job more about policy and-
JD Vance: [interrupting] Policy, schmolicy! The people want me to deal with the people, not just talk about them. And let's be real, I'm good at dealing with people. I've got charisma, I've got charm, and I've got a Twitter account that can turn anything into a meme!
Pete Davidson: [skeptical] Uh-huh... And what exactly do you mean by "dealing with the people"?
JD Vance: [leaning forward] I mean, I'm like a social media influencer for the Trump administration. I get to say whatever I want and watch it blow up on Twitter. It's like having my own reality TV show! The engineers are just there to document everything so everyone knows I'm not a total disaster.
Pete Davidson: [taken aback] Uh... okay, got it...
JD Vance: [grinning] And can't you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people who can't see the genius of my role?!
Time has been kind to Mr. Jobs. Read about his early years at Apple... he was famous for skewering anyone that disagreed with him. He also had lovely habits like parking his sports car in handicapped spots so he didn't have to walk as far. You can't disagree with his talent for running a company that did an awful lot of innovation, but he wasn't a nice guy. He named one of his first products, the Lisa after his daughter, but didn't treat the actual daughter that well.

What's stopping you from placing a wager on your favorite platforms then? You seem to feel quite confident it's going to happen, yet for some reason aren't willing to get that "easy" money...
The price however is inline with my statement - that market considers a GOP win a near certainty.
You are reading the results backwards - Kalshi predicts a Democratic win at ~70% (as of now) probability.
I agree the payback isn't huge... but if you're SURE then it's easy money!
Christians and hypocrisy go hand in hand. How many cross tattoos are out there? How many Christians scorn the poor, or their neighbors? It's kind of a running joke that if you want to learn about the bible, ask an atheist. The more you read the bible, the more logical inconsistencies you find in it.
The real "value" in Christianity and the bible in general is that the masses can outsource their morals and ethics to some external thing without having to think too deeply. (Because who wants to think for themselves? That's a lot of work!)
I know this was supposed to be a little jab, but look back at writings by the founding fathers from that time. They were clearly well-reasoned, and at least TRIED to make a long-lasting republic. The USA wasn't just slapped together randomly -- they had a real plan and an architecture. If anything, it's impressive how long it took to degrade the place.
A great example is George Washington's opinion on getting involved in wars on foreign soil. Well, we might not call it "war" anymore, but we sure as shit have troops overseas at all times. I'm pretty sure the founding fathers never intended us to be the world police in this way.
Haha!!! Sadly, I think our domestic stupidity is more than adequate to explain the situation. I'd love to blame the boogyman here, but let's face it -- we're #1 in stupidity and self-owns.
The question isn't rhetorical. I want to know if I'm the only one getting a chuckle out of the really horrible headlines each day. This is a new phenomenon for me and I want to know if others are feeling the same thing. Politics aside, you'd have to admit the USA is a bit more chaotic than years past right now, and that's not some kind of liberal spin -- it's true.
