Nixon loved it, of course.

OMG, FFS, I heard exactly that thing in a discussion just a few days ago about Canada extending citizenship to those that have a family history of someone with Canadian citizenship:
“Oh goodie! Then you get to wait for months and months for their healthcare! Hyuk hyuk!”
Healthcare is woke.

The real reason is a lot of dipshits would rather punch down on anyone they think is possibly getting more stuff and they think are not worthy of it. Even if it means they themselves are in absolute misery.
As long as they think a liberal/POC/gay/trans/non-xtian is getting it even worse, they are just fine. Remember, a lot of them are still obsessed with stupid shit like trans and “the border” when neither of those issues are going to affect them one iota.
We can thank the conservatives for weaponizing “last place aversion”. You’ll see this kind of thing in action when you see someone who is themselves living at the margins, possibly even making use of SNAP themselves, bitching about what other people choose to put in their carts when using SNAP. That’s last place aversion in action. People who are living hand to mouth will agonize over nut-picking news articles from the likes of Faux “News” parading around one guy that supposedly bought lobster and steak with his SNAP benefits. Stupid people will extrapolate one (alleged) anecdote into a belief that there is widespread fraud to be worried about.
That’s always the case. Paramount is seeking approval for up to 100% foreign ownership:
Remember: America First!
Don’t you dare ask any questions about how Donnie is doing Putin’s bidding or why Saudis own a lot of shit here or why Israeli citizens have healthcare and YOU DON’T!
MURICA! USA! USA! USA!

How about Vance and his wife?
This is who and what the Republicans and conservatives have always been, at root.
Never believe them when they - or those adjacent to them - start piping up with some horseshit about “true” conservatives.
Also, “take advantage of America” - fuck this asshole. The person doing that most egregiously, and practically rubbing all of our noses in it is the pedo-in-chief and his family. They are self-dealing right out in the open and all of these fuckers should be in prison for not only the prior crimes, but the crimes they have committed just since January of 2025.
LOL, what confidence?
I so look forward to the day when I won’t have to give any fucks about what this asshole thinks on any given day.
I mean, what other choice do they have? The Democrats will bring back the DEI, the CRT, the BLM, the trans, and will be gunning to turn all the men gay or trans, burn the xtian bibles and forbid anyone from saying “merry xmas” because that’s the Democratic platform.
/s, obvs
Should be 10 out of 10, since, objectively, he’s doing a very shitty job. Unless the “job” is doing the bidding of our enemies while enriching himself and his criminal family and in-laws.
Yep. Watching his reaction to a stenographer read a sentence from that shooter’s manifesto was instructive.
Remember, he IS a rapist. He was not in any way “vindicated”. Just because NY has a narrower definition of rape does not change what he did.
They don’t care about the debt. Unless Democrats are in power. Then they pretend it matters.
In addition, I saw these demons celebrating that less people were on SNAP benefits.
Imagine being excited about 4 million people losing their benefits. Well, that bitch Brooke Rollins seems to be very happy about it. There is something just deeply wrong with the conservative brain.
Common clay of the new west: “hE sAyS wHaT i aM tHiNkInG”

This is just crazypants dumbass grandpa klanrobe taking out his rage on his complete clusterfuck handling of a pandemic.
And his stupid cult loves the anti-science.
Unsure, but everyone should watch at least his monologues because they are hilarious. I don’t care too much to watch stars talking about themselves, but I tend to watch monologues from Kimmel, Meyers and Colbert. Fallon is such a simp for the both sides thing and his monologues tend to be so milquetoast as a consequence.
LOL, yeah, right.
Assuming Democrats take power of every branch of government. They absolutely will not do anything like this against even the most vile of Republicans spreading hateful speech, up to and including those that engage in stochastic terrorism.
Cruz has not caught up with his party. His party looooves to talk about free speech, but talking about it and being free are two different things, and the cons HATE freedom.

George Hanson: Oh, no. What you represent to them is freedom. Billy: What the hell is wrong with freedom? That’s what it’s all about. George Hanson: Oh, yeah, that’s right. That’s what’s it’s all about, all right. But talkin’ about it and bein’ it, that’s two different thangs. I mean, it’s real hard to be free when you are bought and sold in the marketplace. Of course, don’t ever tell anybody that they’re not free, ‘cause then they’re gonna get real busy killin’ and maimin’ to prove to you that they are. Oh, yeah, they’re gonna talk to you, and talk to you, and talk to you about individual freedom. But they see a free individual, it’s gonna scare 'em.
Electing Republicans, especially shitheels like PEDOnald, turns everything to shit.
These guys are out to ruin everything before they are done. Comedy is on the chopping block, since they kiboshed Colbert.
Ironically, dickheads like Space Karen the free speech maximalist said they wanted to bring back comedy.
But, just like free speech, they really want to kill actual comedy as well as actual free speech.
He’s a guy I like to bring up for the both-siderists that like to pretend to be smart when talking about the “extremes on both sides”, LOL.
My retort? “You mean like Lieberman? That kind of extremist on the Democratic Party?”
Usually I get confused looks because the people that talk about “extremists on both sides” are either just reactionary centrists or just low-info trying to come off as being above it all. Either way, they are usually just clueless and full of shit.
Usually they want to talk about someone like AOC or some nameless activists that something something BLM/Antifa/“defund the police”. Or trans or the “open borders” that we don’t actually have and did not have under Biden or Obama…
