Right? I’m just saying, the chart is clearly incomplete, we can make this funnier.

Needs to have a photo of Vanilla Ice on there somewhere, maybe Ice Cube too

the fact that “what has bill clinton done with his penis” has been a relevant, current-events political topic twice in thirty years is what kills me.

someone get the narcan, they’re overdosing on copium over here!

Brain damage.

Oh, honey, the way things are going, nobody will be.

I’m just saying, we can make this so much more funny than a single banner at the top of a single article. We can make multiple, legitimately-needed Wikipedia articles about Donald Trump’s horseshit, I want to see some wikipedia editor try and say “no not like that!”

Nah, by category could be funnier. “Statements contradicted by science”, “Statements contradicted by basic economics”, “Statements later directly contradicted by Trump”

Oh it might take a good decade or two, and we probably aren’t getting out of this without more violence – but there will almost certainly, eventually, be a day where someone is held accountable for the rape of democracy.

you know, if there’s any comfort for you all, let it be this: even if trump is too old to ever see serious repercussions for his actions, there are a lot of younger men in his administration who will have lots of time down the line to think on their sins, including that little worm Carr.

if any of you reading this live to see it and I don’t, tell them all I said I hope they enjoyed their time fucking around and that they have a very merry finding out.

On the other hand, in a sick and twisted way, this all does lend credence to the whole “good guy with a gun” idea. you can’t tell me that microphone in his hand isn’t a weapon, and you sure as shit can’t tell me Charlie Kirk was a good guy.

In other words, this was justifiable self-defense, that sniper protected those college kids from a cognitohazard.

It’s gonna get a whole lot worse before things get better, but they’ll be remembered as some of the first, yes.

personally I’m of the opinion that society goes in cycles, generally, if you know history. We’re either about to have civil war or mass revolt, I’m pretty sure – when the circuses are still going but there is no bread, for millions, and it’s only getting worse – that’s generally when shit gets real. Massive, massive oversimplification, mind you; but more and more people in the US are feeling the economic squeeze that republicans (and by extension also, late-stage capitalism) pile on more every year.

In other words, we’re in the opening paragraphs to a very long chapter in some high schooler’s history class on this period of American history in the future – probably also lumped into an economics class with the 1929 stock market crash and the consequences thereof. How it will be written about I shudder to imagine, but you’ll have a lot of “patron saints of fucking around/finding out/delivering unto thee the finding out”.

I’m paraphrasing his quote on gun violence.

In a way, he’s right – this death? Worth it. Totally. I just wish it didn’t come at the cost of many schoolchildren and other innocents before (and after) him.

Dude literally died for what he believed in. We should be happy for him.

More than that, it’s “worth it to have the cost” of everyone owning guns, so that we can have some fascist pricks die every so often.

Little slow on the uptake, there, eh Donny boy?

god damnit, I hate it that one of the most milquetoast neoliberals of our time hits upon an A+ strategy. Whatever staffer in his office had that idea deserves a raise. If it was his own idea, I’d be shocked.

He looks perpetually like he got into a fight with a beehive and lost.

I would, but I’m allergic to cats.

Existence is suffering.

He genuinely believes that scammer and businessman are the same thing.

which actually, if you look at how “great businessmen” from history had amassed their fortunes, isn’t that far from the truth. It’s not exactly right, but it’s not exactly wrong, either. Someone was always getting fucked in the process, it was usually just their employees instead of their business partners.

I foresee straw purchasing of pierogis in Dershowitz’s future.
