LOCK. HER. UP.

I would so love to see someone doing some cosplay bullshit in front of HER prison cell. 🤣

It’s too bad we couldn’t have put AI to good use instead of the thing most of the elite have reached for first (destroying jobs).

We could have generated deepfakes of Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert and Seth Meyers saying great things about Donvict (while out of office), fabricate an entire election for him in the run-up to 2024, and surround him with a set of paid actors telling him he’s President, letting him sign bullshit EOs and legislation. Have someone fashion a Nobel Peace Prize and deepfake the news about it and so on. All “channels” on his screen(s) are just a stream of AI deepfakes all praising Dear Leader Donvict.

Just generally making him feel like a Bigly Important Big Boy, all tucked away in an old folks’ home or Mar-a-Lago.

I would even take someone like a Romney over this nightmare. Certainly Kamala would have been 1000x better than this…but apparently we cannot even have mildly nice things.

Huh, after all that gaslighting about “woke” wars from Petey Hegseth and semantic word games about it not really being a “war” from several of his apparatchiks.

I just don’t think term limits are anywhere near the panacea some people seem to think they are. I’ve heard crusty old conservatives mutter “term limits” about politics ever since I can remember. Almost in the same tone I hear some of them say “cull the herd” and “tort reform” these days. It just seems like some mantra to repeat.

And now I see others outside the conservasphere sometimes taking up this mantra. It strikes me as a distraction, if I’m honest. The real problem is money and legalized bribery and I don’t know what term limits would possibly accomplish, other than just having more people with no experience in these roles. There is nothing to say they could not be groomed by the likes of Thiel and just do self-dealing from minute one just because of their age or the number of terms they have had.

I’ve always been baffled by this heroic notion of a magical outsider, brought into politics, and simply by virtue of being an outsider that it would be a good thing. Politician is about the only endeavor where there is this odd wish to have a NON-expert in that position. The term limits mantra often seems to go hand in hand with the pining for the outsider thing. And I’ll just never get it.

Being a politician is like any other field, and requires expertise. I don’t see people pining for term limits on doctors, mechanics, plumbers, businessmen, dentists, etc., and I sure don’t see people signing up to be the first to have their teeth drilled by an outsider, just to “shake things up”.

Also:

Senate blocks war powers measure and House follows suit – now president can bomb Iran free from congressional interference

“Interference”? I think they mean even the least amount of oversight, LOL.

The now-hypothetical balance of powers is not something we should be calling “interference”.

All the cons, like Mikey Johnson, should be given a cuck chair.

Maybe someone like Newsom can orchestrate something where he presents all the cuckservatives a golden cuck chair to watch Donvict having his way with the Constitution.

If a viable candidate runs in the primary, and the voters show up, then that’s the opportunity to have the old guard pushed out. I don’t see any problem with that and it’s how it is supposed to work. What I object to is some kind of blanket rules about term limits or age limits. That removes the opportunity for voters to reward candidates they like.

It is true: I am highly dismissive of some kind of arbitrary cutoff based on age or term limits.

I completely understand the deep frustration with certain individuals, for example, Schumer and Pelosi. But it has little to do with their age or the number of terms they have had, in my view. Things like this should be determined, by voters, on a case by case basis.

If people are really that animated about changing the guard, then they need to do the work and show up on primaries, whether that is going so far as running themselves, or working for campaigns, or at least voting. But arbitrarily preempting the choices that others may want to vote for if they like a candidate, regardless (or perhaps because) of age/years of experience seems very unwise.

Yep. The right loves to pride themselves on being rational (lol) and the other side as being “emotional”, but these are the same morons that cannot stand to come up against an idea that offends them.

Ironically, they also whine about being “cancelled” but cheer having this corrupt administration police and/or shut down school content, park signs, and late night comedy shows.

I sure hope all these things are being kept somewhere so that if sanity is ever restored by having a Democratic administration, they put all this back up in like one day or one week, and broadcast that fact very prominently.

I think it’s orchestrated, myself.

It seems nihilistic and doesn’t seem to have any real aim other than further dividing Democrats. There is nothing inherently good or bad about someone’s age (well, unless they haven’t fully developed the PFC - there is a reason there are age requirements at the lower end) when you are trying to determine if they are fit to lead.

Now, if people were to propose using more advanced screening techniques to catch things like Alzheimer’s or other problematic things (I’d be a fan of trying to screen out various traits that lead to really bad leadership, myself, but obviously implementation would have many problems and of course many detractors), that might make more sense. But no, we are listening to what sounds like petulant teenagers having tirades about older people and it’s rather boring. All of us were 14 once, but most of us evolved since then. The idea that you are only going to have representation from people who are in your “generation” is an incredibly silly and narcissistic one.

Lastly I keep saying this, but: this particular period of time is really not going to age very well if life extension and other breakthroughs come online.

…has been trending down ever since Blondi did her little performance.

Indeed. If things get bad enough where they experience a twinge of embarrassment for their stupid choices, they’ll slink away and pretend they were always teabaggers voting for a non-existent party called “The Tea Party” and never even heard of the Republicans or this PEDOnald guy…

The playbook they did when GWB cratered the economy, bungled Katrina and Iraq was clearly a quagmire to even the stupidest of Americans at that point.

They’ll lie in wait until another Republican that “says what they think” comes along and do it all over again.

Some of them will blame it on Biden and/or “trans for everybody” and keep right on prostrating themselves before the PEDOnald altars they probably have in their houses.

I’m seeing these asshats still doing it as recently as just a few days ago.

These jagoffs were handed an economy that was called the envy of the world and kept acting like things were absolutely dire and total misery.

They are saying some truly Orwellian level bullshit, and the sad thing is that a whole lot of RW idiots and a lot of reactionary centrists go right along with this.

The way he’s attacking everyone and talking about doing more, I think he might have some news about his health that he hasn’t shared.

Low gas prices are WOKE

– magatards

Exactly. Diaper Don tariffing everything that moves, for one, and sending “doge” in to fire tons of government workers:

Gosh and gee willickers, you mean that will have a negative impact on things?

–Murc’s Law Media and reactionary centrists everywhere

She lied under oath multiple times, did she not?

I seem to recall so many cons wanting to stand on principle so hard when it came to Clinton - checks notes - lying about a BJ.

What, no more cosplaying for ICE Barbie? No more bang plane?

😥
