He recently went on a long rant about restoring American masculinity in what I dearly hope was the last official thing he says in Congress. Dude sure has a massive hangup on that front, among the many other character flaws and insecurities that make up his life.

Agreed, a whole lotta suburban assholes with superduty trucks that'll never haul anything, and expensive ARs that only leave the safe if they see a non-white delivery driver. Him and Tucker (see also that hilarious testicle tanning thing he promoted) are probably the worst, but they all seem to have latched onto it.

They are very quick with online attaboys to allies. At first I thought they were just huge suck ups but I think it's like a digital bumper sticker - it gives them an opportunity to announce to the world where their loyalties lie. I can't tell you how many threads on Facebook and Twitter end up looking like this: "I find it rather weak of you to pick on minorities" "The only thing weak is your jawline! Ha ha! " Yeah! " " That showed him" "LOL I am stealing this to use on my soyboy brother in law during Thanksgiving." "Strong chins create good times. Good times create weak chins. Weak chins create hard times." "I'm glad my wife loves my strong, manly jawline! Not an ounce of soy in here!" "BOOM mic drop!" "Kenny is this your email it's your pep pep we're doing Ginnys birthday at Golden Corral next Sunday." "Not gonna see any soy boys in Golden Corral HAW HAW HAW" (15 assorted Sam Elliot memes to follow)

The prisoner exchange feels quite sour but god gently caress nobody deserves to be starved and raped in Russian prison for weed. Even if she really should have known that bringing weed could have gotten her killed over there.

Although I don't think it was worth it for the Lord of War guy. Eh, he's already served most of his sentence and from what I understand most of his network has been rolled up or scattered. I suspect he's basically harmless at this point. Quote this in five years if he does manage to slide right back into things, though.

Making voting a paid holiday means retail gets time and a half when they're forced to work all day anyways. Which, I guess, helps their material needs and ends up more productive than voting so who knows.

I don't know why people are arguing against a VOTE ONE DAY, NATIONAL HOLIDAY in this thread. Not because I disagree with them and I too also think it's dumb, but because no one is arguing FOR that, except Hannity as far as I know. Nobody I've read has posted anything like "let's do that instead". Anyone suggesting we try it has been talking about in terms of adding it to the voting options we already have, not replacing the ones we have. And nobody else here, including myself, has "handed anything to Sean Hannity" as one poster seemed to infer.

Long haul truckers make good money. They are hardly on the 'bottom rung' of society. Airplane pilots.... used to? make a bunch of money. People on call for all sorts of unfortunate 'must be done right now and it's probably going to take all day to do it and you sure as hell aren't going to be interested in standing around for any amount of time after you do it' are hardly on the bottom rung of society. They will, however, be absolutely hosed if they must be in a specific place at a specific time on a specific day.

Washington Post is now whitewashing Alberto Fujimori's coup and the death squads during his reign in Peru.quote:https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/12/08/peru-president-pedro-castillo-coup-democracy/ Note the framing and phrasing of the article: - "Fujimori's coup enjoyed considerable support" - "Peru is a far more prosperous and stable country than it was in 1992" immediately following the narration of Alberto Fujimori's coup and reign, with the implied conclusion that Peru's prosperity and stability was because of Fujimori's coup and reign. - Complete omission of and silence on Fujimori's death squads, kidnappings and murders during his reign

Make it a two-day national holiday, all employees must have at least ONE day off with full 8 hours of pay given to them, employee picks out which date so if they work multiple jobs they can schedule what works for them. No exceptions for being short staffed employee gets the drat day off period so they can vote if they so choose or take a day long nap if they don't or whatever else the gently caress they want to do that day they feel is more important to them than voting. Oh and we keep early voting as well, and vote by mail, and everything else,

Does anyone remember a really really wful op-ed about how Scrooge was actually the hero of A Christmas Carol? Or at the very least that Bob Cratchit was a whiny crybaby? I distinctly remember the phrase "the frankly mediocre Bob Cratchit". Am trying to compile all the ghoulish takes on A Christmas Carol I can.

Yes, this has been something on my mind for years. A conservative celebrates if a Maoist gets banned from Twitter or fired, so free speech can’t really be what they care about. This is true of most people, but especially conservatives, professed principles are really weapons to win at whatever you are fighting in your mind. If a principle is convenient for your fight, you pick it up and polish it off and act like it is the most important thing in the world. If a principle is inconvenient you just put it away and stop talking about it. Once conservatives have gained the cultural upper hand again they will flip the script and start talking about how we have to ban speech like back in post 9-11 era.

The WaPo editorial board is garbage. The other day they ran a piece saying it was actually good that there's 8 billion people now, in effect because, you see, that means there's more people to figure out how to solve the problems created by there being 8 billion people now.
