Has somebody already mentioned Bobby Jindal's official governor's portrait? I don't know why but I remembered that today and it's still pretty funny.

he took a 6 month sabbatical during his term as mayor, and was allowed to skip basic and tech school and go to afghanistan. his job was to wear a uniform and hold a gun as a prop for photo ops. butt does not have any publicly acknowledged connections or achievements that would explain why he was allowed to do this.

gee, it is such a mystery.

hahaha Linsey Graham did this a couple times too back in the 2000s. Oh so impressive!

you know that Warren is a blue senator in a red state where the governor would get to pick a replacement right LOL

She was going to stay in the Senate

lmao what? I mean I get that Mass has a republican governor but it's not a "red state" by any measure


gay_crimes posted:

Doesn't MA require a special election pretty soon after a senate vacancy? Which makes the Warren dumpstering even funnier, as the Biden camp didn't even bother researching past "oh they'll just appoint a Republican senator and we lose the seat"

Yeah. They did that when Romney was their governor I think

Anyway, it was super funny when Warren decided to do a high-tech paper bag test on herself so she didn't need to apologize for Pow Wow Chow and Dolezaling her way up the higher ed career ladder

Of the major players in the 2020 election (so not like, Inslee), Warren is pretty much the biggest loser, even moreso than Trump.

We should have known she'd lose from the very beginning. She failed the "would I want to drink a beer with her" challenge

Even her own husband didn't want to drink a beer with her

red-cobtrolled is what I meant by the governor who appoints

And as pointed out it doesn't really matter because they'll have a special election within a few months and +1 R isn't going to matter much anyway, unless you think the MA Dem party will Coakley it up again, which is also a very thread appropriate memory.

Bottom line, if Biden wanted her, she'd get a cabinet spot

Nobody wants her

It's very funny

the gap between what idpol actually is and the narcissistic fever dream of liberal fawning over diversity like it’s a loving harry potter sorting house is disconcerting to say the least

i get it, though. when society grinds you under its heel as a matter of policy because of the circumstances of your birth, anyone willing to confirm what you believe about society and actually tell you that you’re special is gonna sound like a pretty good deal. the conflation of that with a sort of mythical insight into all things is just a woke variation of rich guys deciding that they’re experts on any and all topics.

there are a lot of real fuckin psychopaths who just want to recreate their own trauma with reversed power dynamics tho

I also think a lot of people pushing idpol have ignored or never bother to figure out that “we are oppressed, if people from our community who look like us and are also oppressed can have a seat at the table, our issues can be addressed” is a fundamental part of what idpol comes out of. They just reduce it to “people who look like us” and don’t bother with the part where representation comes out of the same community and where the representatives have endured and understand and hope to end the shared oppression.

american liberals screeching about how this invasion of georgia was the first step in putin's master plan to take over the world and we had to activate NATO and go to war in the caucasus to save the free world lol

then the UN looked into it and the georgians had been shelling ossetia and abkhazia for weeks before the russian intervention and suddenly it was a very complicated situation and we can't jump to conclusions but we still need to contain the moskal threat

daughter of privilege, basically been destined for great things since undergrad, then hosed up and failed the dc bar exam and followed her lovely boyfriend to his podunk home state and has deeply resented everyone around her ever since

the combination of crushing political humiliation at every stage of her public life and her own inability to live up to her own "promise" (whatever the gently caress that means) along with being a loving shark means that hillary clinton is a psychopath who believes she's entitled to the upper echelons of power because she shook all the right hands, said all the right things, went to the right school, did a good job as a governor and then president's wife, and it's her loving turn, and the fact that it never actually worked out like that made her bitter and mean

you see flashes of her humanity in stuff like her unfailing loyalty towards monumental fuckups on her staff (especially to huma fuckin abedin jesus christ) but for the most part she just has nothing left but ambition

hahaha she went on a podcast recently and said that the transition to not being president was really hard for her

Speaking of porn controversies there was a series a while back that got some negative press because it was themed as border patrol agents forcing migrants into sex acts

I don’t know if it’s gotten any press (porn being something people don’t tend to talk about) but I’ve stumbled across another series that’s white women dressed as policewomen forcing black men into sex acts, which also strikes me as a bit unsettling and poorly thought through
