… what are we supposed to fucking do? I can stop eating meat but it’s not like I can stop eating altogether. Am I just going to get food poisoning a few times over the course of this nightmare administration? Do I have to wait 4 fucking years to enjoy eating without worrying about getting sick?

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

No, we would only have different candidates in federal elections if left leaning people actually voted. They don’t.

They only made the commitment to appease the political climate and earn points with the public. It’s important to keep us distracted from all the corporate bullshit. They’re just doing it again now that there’s a new climate.

I’m guessing that the military as a whole has the same political leanings as the general population, with the majority being left leaning centrists and they will stand by the oath they took never to attack the American people.

Fingers fucking crossed.

It’s funny that you mentioned this, because the crappy website is one of the things that sold me on it. It reminds me of the old internet.

It’s also surprisingly affordable, I got a 3 year subscription for something like $60. I was during a sale.

AirVPN (Eddie) has port forwarding. The interface isn’t very appealing and their website is meh, but it works and I got a great deal on a 3 year subscription.

Oh fuck off. There were over 5 million people protesting yesterday.

Cats are invasive predators and are causing birds to go extinct. They kill 4 billion birds in the lower 48 every year.

Where would a cat get food outside? They rarely eat animals they catch.

Cat obesity isn’t actually funny in real life, it’s animal abuse.

You have a point. I’ve been wondering just how senate Democrats could possibly approve all these wildly incompetent boobs to these powerful positions. Maybe they want the worst people possible in these positions so that this administration implodes on itself.

But that could be giving them too much credit. It would mean they weren’t entirely spineless…

Fair enough. I didn’t mean to imply that we’re as good as the French at protesting. I don’t think anyone is. They are the world champion protestors. I wonder what platform they use to organize.

Yes, I covered that in my comment.

Are you saying that if the people organizing the event aren’t members of Congress, that they will be targeted and vanish? That’s a scary thought. Perhaps the leaders should be kept anonymous.

I would argue that we are. 21,000 in Paris is very similar to 34,000 in Denver. The thing us Americans need to get better at is organizing ourselves. We shouldn’t require leaders like Bernie Sanders and AOC to get us to show up. The regular people of France are amazing at protesting on their own, and we desperately need that kind of energy.

This is one of those comments where I didn’t realize how badly I needed to read it until I did. This kind of support from the countries our dictator is actively alienating is extremely beneficial for morale. Thanks!

Deal with it? You mean, like, primary you and the 9 other simps who voted for this bill? Okay. That’s good advice, thanks Fetterman.

I hope you’re right. Zelenskyy not being a politician probably helped him win an election in a country with a history of corruption. People were sick of the status quo and picked an outsider in the hopes it would improve things. It would be great if that happened here. (I don’t consider Trump an outsider, that was just part of the grift)

Part of the reason it can be annoying when people keep suggesting Stewart run for office is that it distracts from actual candidates who are willing to run. And false optimism isn’t exactly a good strategy in times like these.

I would love to be proven wrong, though.

I do. It doesn’t change what he has said repeatedly: he has no interest in running for office.

Why do people keep saying this about Jon Stewart? He’s a comedian, and he has said over and over and over and over and over that he will not run for public office, ever.

I wish I could award this comment. It follows my occasional and unfulfilling conversations with Republicans extremely closely. If the conversation doesn’t end with wanting to pull my hair out and put my head through the nearest available drywall, did I really talk to Republican?
