What's the issue with this? Don't you want a cool parasocial relationship with your favorite politician-celebrity?

I hope next week Dana will tell me about Being Jeff Bezos. I feel knowing his favorite ice cream will help me understand why he shouldn't pay taxes.

maybe you should try to cut down on the number of people that might need to be memorialized?

oh we didn't literally shrink their medals, sorry, I was making fun of when some publication posted a 'medal count' graph and made sure to make China's medals smaller so our ~10 medal gap looked smaller

yea I actually read that (don't) and it's literally just a middle class kid whining that she thought being a bartender, a famously genuinely difficult job that involves a lot of quick thinking and focus, was somehow beneath her and only liking it for the creative elements. I like that she's completely stopped pretending to be a genuine working class person and now just talks like every loving Bushwick rich kid faux-slumming loser.

In other words, she's the most famous Democrat in the house after Pelosi and Nancy isn't going to last forever.
Nancy is like Mitch McConnell in that neither of them are going to go away until a band of adventurers is able to locate and destroy their phylacteries.

Nothus posted:

Perhaps. On the other hand if she was a total pariah, she wouldn't be getting long-form puff pieces on the Dem propaganda media networks.

She's a mascot. That's her job. She's the hip, token minority woman from a humble background who is designed to make people think that there's actually hope for good things, because "Better things aren't possible, stick to good ol' incrementalism" goes down easier coming from her than a dessicated skeleton like Pelosi.

if I got paid almost 200 large/year + pension + health + unlimited sick time for working about 1/3 of what normies work I'd look totally stoked all the time too.

and that's leaving aside the fat retirement contracts to go on cnn or be a lobbyist.

I kinda feel like the initial tweet is trying to connect the "political industry" as encompassing pundits and organizers in there as well since obviously they deserve in on the lucre from being connected to the political class which is pretty lol considering the replies about how brave AOC 's statement is.

Eh little kids do stuff like this sometimes, all it would take is her mom talking about how they were going to meet her cousin SA Poster Fart Simpson and have such a nice time, so she wouldn't complain about the car ride or whatever, and bing bang boom now you're not a stranger and she's super pumped to meet you

Not really comparable to Joe Biden grabbing a kid who clearly doesn't want physical contact with him and pulling her back in

Hugging and holding and playing with kids THAT WANT THOSE THINGS are some of the few pure joys in this cursed existence, and Joe Biden is doing his damnedest to ruin them.

CNN's Jim Acosta said scientists should name COVID-19 variants after Republican governors who've refused to enforce safety measures


Jim Acosta posted:

"People should not have to die so some politicians can own the libs," Acosta continued. "They're not owning anybody. They may end up owning the pandemic because they're prolonging it. Perhaps it may be time to start naming these new variants after them. Why not call it the DeSantis variant instead of the Delta variant?"

When my kid was born, I was worthless and unemployed. That meant I was the one taking care of her for the first few years. I held her ALL the loving time. I never wore a shirt, cause there's just something primal and good and wholesome about feeling another human pressed against my skin, protecting and warming them and keeping them safe. She seemed to agree, cause she's still huggy at 9.

Joe Biden is taking a beautiful, necessary, HUMAN thing and rubbing it across his incontinent perinium, smearing it with filth.

Like so many other actions he's taken, it's fundamentally inhuman.
