Meanwhile, celebrities including Whoopi Goldberg have dismissed their economic struggles. She said they couldn't afford to buy a house because they're lazy and "only want to work four hours" a day.

Is every single host of The View a giant piece of shit, or what? We saw this exact same bullshit just the other day from one of the other ones. They should change the name to The Karen.

People in Gen-Z just don’t work hard as often.

Is that really true though? I'm Gen-X and they said the same thing about us, and then the Millennials, and now the current gen. I think quit quitting is largely a myth and plenty of GenZ are working their asses off. They're not getting the same rewards. But I can also understand if some them do choose to opt out. But the fact that they can't afford to buy homes is not proof that they are lazy.

In the past repeated gaffes like Trump has been making lately would have definitely eroded his support. Campaigns have been sunk over some fairly minor mistakes. It's just that trumps fans don't care. So you're right, this won't change anything.

That's why I've been saying forever that Democrats need to gerrymander the ever loving shit out of every state they control. The right will never play fair so squeeze as many Congressional seats as you can using the same methods they do. Erase their gerrymandered advantage using their rules. But no, we're too ethical for that. They have a 20+ advantage in terms of gerrymandered seats. They wouldn't have the majority at all if that advantage was erased and all maps were fair. So do the same thing they do.

Why do these dumb ass CEO's keep admitting this type of stuff in interviews? Don't tell us your evil plans. No one is going to hear this and be more eager to buy your products. They're so proud of coming up with ways to screw customers that they just can't help themselves. They have to let everyone know. I don't get it.

His plan if he gets to be president again is to not have to worry about political opponents anymore. He'll still demonize them and blame them for everything going wrong, but the elections will be cancelled.

I've never said "fuck you" to someone and meant "I am going to rape you". Maybe you're different. Language has changed quite a bit over the past 2,500 years. The English language didn't even exist when Aristophanes wrote his plays.

Well, that makes sense. They wouldn't want any KKK or Proud Boys to get locked up for doing terrorism that they support.

the man hasn’t been charged with a crime

He has literally been charged with dozens of crimes. Have you been living under a rock? Do you just make shit up when you need to defend your orange garbage bag person?

And mainly because currently they don't really need the free steak, or don't think they do. Government funded health care? Nah, I can afford insurance. Then an accident happens and they go broke. Then they want the free steak.

If you cancel your subscription you're a subclass idiot, you might not even be competent... so sad... We need to fight these attempts to unsubscribe.

If you're subscribed you're among the genius class. Just keep paying and don't think about it, even if you haven't watched in months and forgot you are paying. You're not misunderstanding anything.

Plastic surgery will do that. But plastic surgery can't fix your organs. She'll still be dead within 10 years.

She thinks everyone under 40 is jobless, collecting welfare (???) while eating avocado toast and partying all night. If she hasn't seen the real numbers proving that housing is increasingly out of reach for younger people then her show is to blame, if she has seen the numbers but chooses to sneer "Get a Job!" because it plays to the boomer assholes then she is just a giant piece of shit.

I remember seeing that a few years ago and it was woefully out of touch then. But rent has spiked, nearly doubled here, since Covid. I guess I just need a third job and to never sleep again.

menthol ,

You're right. She is trash either way. It's just that I know some truly out of touch Boomers (mostly extended family members), who really do think the world is the same as it was when they were coming of age. Ignorance is no excuse, and she has no excuse to be ignorant.

Well, of course. There were no white leather couches, no velvet Elvis paintings. The toilets weren't even made of gold. Absolutely no culture of any kind.

Conspiracies don't have to make sense, they just have to make you feel good.

It’s not clear why Tacopina decided to withdraw,

80% chance he hasn't been paid for most of his work and he's tried of excuses, or

20% chance he's afraid of catching charges himself because the trump team keeps asking to do illegal stuff, or both.

menthol ,

I mean, they were all destined to fail. They know they don't have a chance against the MAGA cult. Maybe DeSantis thought he had a shot a year ago, but he failed to evolve and got caught in this eternal cycle of kissing trumps ass and occasionally offering mild critiques. Haley is just there to build her national profile. Vivek is most likely a paid troll of some kind, but who is paying him is anyone's guess. But yeah, his purpose was to make everyone else look dumb and weak while also kissing trumps ass. He was a proxy trump.

We should find out. Who volunteers to body slam Ted Cruz repeatedly?

Republican governors in 15 states reject summer food money for kids ( www.washingtonpost.com )

The governors have given varying reasons for refusing to take part, from the price tag to the fact that the final details of the plan have yet to be worked out. Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds ( R) said she saw no need to add money to a program that helps food-insecure youths “when childhood obesity has become an epidemic.” Nebraska...

menthol ,

They don't like this program because they have no control over the funds. And it's an election year so they want to virtue signal on welfare and spending. But they are fine with all the other funds their states leech off the federal government.

And Pillen is an especially big hypocrite here, because he's a total welfare queen. Farm subsidies, millions in forgiven pandemic loans, 25$ million to build a pork processing factory. Pillen loves the government teat. What a piece of shit.

Prince William County admits election tally in 2020 shorted Joe Biden ( www.nbcwashington.com )

A Northern Virginia county acknowledged it underreported President Joe Biden's margin of victory over Donald Trump there in the 2020 presidential election by about 4,000 votes, the first detailed accounting of errors that came to light in 2022 as part of a criminal case....

menthol ,

Ok, but what if it was Georgia where Biden won by 12,000 votes? What if 3 counties in Georgia had the 4,000 vote error margin and flipped the state?

menthol ,

No.

Start taxing billionaires, fix the housing market, pay us decent wages and maybe we might volunteer to be your blood bags you fucking boomer vampires.

Almost half of Haley supporters say they would vote for Biden over Trump: Iowa poll ( thehill.com )

Just under half of likely Iowa GOP caucusgoers who support former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley indicated that they would make a crossover to the Democratic party, saying that they would rather vote for President Biden over former President Trump....

menthol ,

In the event that Trump is in prison, or has a heart attack next month, or whatever, you'd see a depression among MAGA voters in the election. They wouldn't be enthusiastic and plenty of them would stay home. Trump gets really big turnout in these types and total votes would go below 2012 Republican numbers. For instance in 2020 Trump got 74 million votes. In 2012 Romney got 60 million. In 2008 McCain got 59 million. It's not that 14 million people shifted to the right after 2012, it's that they all came out to vote.

3 migrants, including 2 kids, drowned in Eagle Pass days after Texas blocked Border Patrol from area, congressman says ( www.cnn.com )

Three migrants, a woman and two children, drowned Saturday in the Rio Grande in Eagle Pass, Texas – very recently the epicenter of the migrant crisis – just days after state authorities blocked the US Border Patrol from accessing miles of the US-Mexico border, according to a post on X by Rep. Henry Cuellar....

menthol ,

I would say so, but at the very least criminally negligent homicide. But this is Texas we're talking about, so they'll probably pin a medal on these guys.

Also wtf is Texas Military Department? They have their own army?
