Guns Make America Great
#6 |

I recently filled in a gap of my ignorance by passing a flag at the end of a driveway.
It let me know that America was founded on "God, Guns, and Guts!"

"but everyone in the audience crapped their pants. Very effective."

Well you can spare the whip training and just hand the audience Ivermectin. Same result. Very effective.

Disagree.
His noxious, selfish, crass, bullying, ignoramus behavior was a big draw for the base.

There are a lot of people who were lukewarm on politics who got pulled into the cult precisely because he wasn't a 'more likeable person'.

"Mr. Gonzalez was emphatic that the threats were not why he was leaving " the commute was more trying, he said " but in a matter-of-fact fashion, he recounted people online saying things like, 'We're coming to your house.'"

Feral Trumpers indeed.

It's the German purity law (brewing) of 1516.

Way before robots.

So is she like, in more deep ----, than the Texas real-estate gal?

Yup. Nailed it. Zip tying yourself ensures passive resistance.

'Round my parts the Gravy Seals are on hunger strike until we can all mouthbreathe as God intended.

I like your posts. Keep our chins up and let these ---------- devour themselves.
Could take some time, mind you.

>Seriously, why will people ingest horse dewormer, but won't take a vaccine?

If you take the vaccine, you give up a touchdown to the other team.
If you take the dewormer, you force them to punt (and ---- your pants at the store).

People with no insurance, no savings, credit card debt, behind on payments, etc.
It will always be that way

The pandemic highlighted how our system is designed to have about a third of the population on the edge, desperate enough to make fries and clean toilets for the rest of us.

"conservative activists" = scammers

GOP = One giant scam

>>In March, Ryan tweeted that she is "definitely not going to jail. Sorry I have blonde hair white skin a great job a great future and I'm not going to jail... I did nothing wrong."

The opinion piece by Tom Nichols in USA Today that YAV posted -- he brings up what narcissistic, selfish, entitled, childish -------- Americans are becoming...

>>The problem is.
Politicians, like Mo Brooks, are the reason why Republicans are behaving the way they do.

My own take is that the rightwing media has done the groundwork for all of this.
25+ years.

The politicians are walking into power because of it, and you can tell that they are stunned at times how depraved their support has become (Lindsey et al talking about how toxic Trump was until he got elected, 1/6 being a moment of shame, but just for 48 hours).
They're still figuring out how to fully play with and monetize the toy that's been created for them.

>I wouldn't wish Joe Buck on anybody...

As an Indians (Guardians!) fan, i can't see the name 'Joe Buck' without hearing his call from the 2016 Indians/Cubs World Series, fawning over Cubs player
"Kyle SCHWAAARBER!!!"

Someone Indians fan ended up setting up a marriage registry online for Buck and Schwarber.

Doing what?
We produce more than enough food. Get cheap consumer goods imported from Asia.

Only thing left is the Scam Economy.

Moder8, you must be wearing clothes that are very wrinkly, to bring out that much irony.

from Reuters:

The man was identified by his ex-wife, who told Reuters that he had been diagnosed with schizophrenia and had threatened her with firearms in the past. She said she divorced him about eight years ago.

"He's crazy. He pulled a gun on me and his sister, and shot at me numerous times," said the woman.

This is worth reading.

"Friends who had grown up with me in economically strapped circumstances, for example, would tell me how they thought America was a disastrous mess " while sailing their boats, or sending me pictures from their multiple vacations. Political arguments that were once friendly jousting took on an almost religious hue."

"Ironically, this growing illiberalism is not the product of bad times, but of a long trend of rising narcissism and a sense of entitlement that was enabled by peace, prosperity, and rapidly improving living standards."

>the most interesting part of this story to me is that the English regard the Magna Carta as nothing to bother with:

I recently read a short book on the Magna Carta.
Basically, early 1200's, King John was a royal ----- (see what i did there?) who was really putting the squeeze on his barons for money and also men for his escapades in France.

It reached a boiling point and the barons were on the verge of rebelling, so John was forced to parlay with them and sign an agreement which checked the power of an all-powerful king and guaranteed some basic human rights.
At the time it wasn't seen as the document it is now.

Now these weird ----- who are 'taking the castle' do remind me of the weird ----- in the US who have been blabbering about being a 'sovereign citizen' and not subject to the law, etc.

Too much internet, people.

Where are the right wingers on this site to justify all this?

A few times a year I need a reminder that there are crotchety old men who form their worldview from the email forwarded by their buddies on their AOL accounts.

>If you tip a bartender good early on, it's going to ensure that bartender keeps coming back to make sure you're good.

I'm only in for one. I still tip. Just to piss all over economic theory.

I worked in a bar in college. Made $2.13 an hour. Typically made about $25 an hour in tips.

If all the patrons held your worldview, your compensation would have remained at $2.13 an hour.

Why would any rational consumer pay above and beyond the price the market dictated?
They literally have the cold beer in their hand, paid for. Why would they opt to pay even more than the agreed upon price?

It doesn't make sense.

DeWine is an 'old school' repub. Not MAGAty enough for these types. Thus an enemy to them.

The GOP has become one enormous scam.
