Been waiting to get into Helldivers 2 servers for over an hour 🫠

I wonder how many Americans who consider themselves politically aware could pass a civics test about how our government is supposed to function. I wonder how many Americans who ostensibly talk about politics as part of how they make a living could. Our anti-education/anti-knowledge culture has come for our constitutional society. And people who consider themselves "patriotic" celebrate dismantling the very aspects of our Framer's work that those exquisite-minded guys were most proud of. Co-equal branches of govt and checks and balances. Not bugs...but this system's greatest features. We are a politically hypocritical society and this will cost us. Can you imagine if the Biden/Harris/Hillary Clinton crowd were doing and saying the sort of things Trump is saying now? How many of you Trump fans would be ready to take to the streets? "That's what the 2d Amendment is for Dan"...how many times have I been told that by the "defenders of our Constitution"? For 40 years you've been saying it to me! So...it's only a problem if THEY'RE doing it? One side gets a pass at assaulting the constitutional wall that protects us all, and the other doesn't? How many of you would say "they're only joking" or "don't worry, it's a negotiation position" if Kamala Harris said these things? Serious question. You'd be just fine with it? No big deal? And I'm sure the right-wing talker's ecosystem would be too? All of this is going to come back to bite us. All of it. We are shortsighted, propagandized, political hypocrites. And we simply refuse to apply the same standards to both sides. And while I'm ranting: half of this problem is the fault of the Democratic Party. I've never seen such a toothless, feckless, directionless, passion-free group of poor political candidates in my life (and I was of voting age in the Mondale/Dukakis years). Only their most radical wing shows any passion or life at all...and that's the group that absolutely, positively can't win a general election. When the great historian in the sky writes about this era the "other party" in a two-party system deserves a ton of the blame too. Everyone over 70 years old in that party should resign right now. What Trump is trying to do in our system now is exactly what the Founders designed safeguards to prevent. And that's why Trump is targeting the safeguards.

FLUTE GUY IS BACK #GameAwards2024

follow me on bluesky lol

@gnarly That Samira skin is so fucking good I love the alternate damage numbers and kill counter taunt

actually insane that riot fired him

@CurlyMcNulty The new Grinch movie but that's kind of cheating since the original was already a cultural icon for over 50 years.

Genuine question: has there been a Christmas movie that’s been ingrained into pop culture to the point where people watch it in droves every year since 2003 when Elf and Love Actually came out? I’m wracking my brain trying to think of one.

The Tyson Paul fight was sad in a thinking about my dad getting old kind of way.

@nik_eni at least that indicates it will be a clown show where nothing gets done

The incoming admin is super unserious. An indictment of the state of America.

@lunasol909 it's fucking weird!

Gotta be honest, this is fucking weird. I’ve seen a lot of posts where people really toe the line with how inappropriate they get. Idk it’s just not for me.

@TrueSlazac Further proof that resist libs are the vanguard

Honestly really funny how Nick Fuentes has been a major figure of the alt-right for years and never ran into trouble but one tweet got him attention from less terminally online resist libs and it was over in less than a day

If losing elections was a prerequisite for stepping down from politics you would've disappeared years ago.

@adoreseungminn trying to pump up those DM numbers again I see

I’m pocket watching everybody that voted for Trump cause of the economy. Ya better not be broke still in 4 years cause I’m on that ass bitch

@DumbDumb1423308 @WhiteNervosa easy strawman for liberals and conservatives to point to and say "look how ridiculous progressives are, they think America deserved 9/11!"

@DumbDumb1423308 @WhiteNervosa nah on that I agree with you blaming leftists doesn't explain how 15 million voters just didn't show up. I also agree with OP that Hasan has done more harm than good for acceptance of progressive ideas.

@DumbDumb1423308 @WhiteNervosa sorry champ if you meat ride streamers you don't get to tell people to touch grass try again sport

@DumbDumb1423308 @WhiteNervosa hope he sees this lil bro

> be democrats > pull the economy out of a crater > rebuild manufacturing in the USA > pump up the stock markets to record highs > bring unemployment to the lowest rate in decades > lose

@conro it's very funny that the Shaprio video already got clipped to hell for how many times he got dunked on meanwhile Destiny just 1v9s the whole room lmao

20 minutes in and not a single Republican has argued based off the facts. They don't acknowledge laws. They don't acknowledge court rulings. Pure cult behavior.
