    Introducing Walz as a VP hopeful sounds like they’re describing a Palin-level government official, not someone who has been active in politics for years.

    They did the same to Vance though. Isn’t he a Senator? They didn’t mention that, just that he’s somebody hoping to be Trump’s VP. They also provided what I would see as a positive point for Walz: a football coach. That could be taken as he has an interest in teaching others, possibly children, but they don’t specify there.

    I’d have to agree, however much I know media is biased, that this one is fairly neutral.







  • I fucking hate defending this piece of shit, but what he’s saying isn’t “they worked overtime and I refused to pay them.”

    He said: “I hated to give overtime. I hated it. I shouldn’t say this, but I’d get other people in. I wouldn’t pay.”

    So he’s doing the scumbag, but legal, thing of “you’re about to hit overtime so don’t come in/continue working. Someone else will finish/cover your shift.” Because as we all know he’s a cheap piece of shit.

    “The media” aren’t doing themselves any favors by misleading people with the way the wrote this. It just adds to the Magoos hatred and belief that they’re being lied to by everyone other than Trump and Faux News… Fucking morons everywhere… Magoos and media assholes alike. Gotta get them clicks though, who cares about the impact…





  • Not exactly the same but I just went to Amazon to reorder my coffee as I’m getting low and for whatever absolutely bat shit insane reason they decided to double the price in just a handful of weeks… So fuck that. Now I have to find something else. :/


  • It’s not so much that it’s treated as “zero urgency” from Democrats, but rather Democrats don’t embrace a king “unitary executive” theory that Republicans do. So when Trump wins the Republicans accept that he can push through whatever he (read: the heritage foundation) wants, it’s a big part of project 2025.

    If Democrats win they play by the system that exists, which is: we want something, Republicans say “go fucking die you communist piece of shit” and nothing happens because we don’t have a majority. If we end up with a 50/50 split then Joe Manchild and Self-centered Scinema say “go fucking die you communist piece of shit” and nothing happens because we don’t have a supermajority and they refuse to help kill the filibuster because they’re paid to be Republicans in the Democratic party. This is why the only thing we’ve accomplished through Congress in the last like 20 fucking years is a goddamn Republican healthcare system (Obamacare is Romneycare) because we had enough of a majority for something like 3 months…



  • Bombing other people isn’t fucking self defense…

    I have no issues with funding actual defense mechanisms like the iron dome and whatever. Small munitions, bulletproof vests, whatever you need to DEFEND your citizens I’m cool with. When it turns outward and you start “military operations” against other countries that’s when I say good fucking luck on your own.
