I remember Philadelphia are conservative doofus Michael smerconish complaining on his radio show about a Neil young show where he spoke out against bush and the invasion of Iraq.

And like dude it’s Neil young what did you expect?

He also complained whenever 24 would have a non terrorist Muslim.

I may just have invented this memory whole cloth, but I feel like at one point Bush the Elder used "Rockin' in the Free World" on the campaign trail.

I think I meant quietly like in an introspective way that you kind of gloss over something regularly but inside it's actually building up pressure until one day you're just slapped in the face with the realization that you've been reading literally the same cartoon for years. I'm not sure I've ever had something so inoffensive trigger such a strong reaction in me before lol

I think it's because Stantis, either deliberately or otherwise, excels at straddling that line between "Making a point" and "Not."
Like, he will get right to the very edge of the line and get so tantalizingly close to making a point, and just as we all think he's on the cusp of "getting it," he manages to do a quadruple backflip away from the point and go right back to tepid white noise.

When somebody praises the politician I like they are simply telling it like it is, noble souls unable to endure the injustice of the politician I dislike for a moment longer. It only makes sense that they would bring up what we're all thinking.

Sigh, why would somebody mention politician I dislike to praise them. Must politics infect everything? I only ask for sincere entertainment that does not reflect any possible world view.

The answer is always that they're dishonest.

This is part of the disproven Hunter Biden Ukrainian corruption allegations in which the “big guy” is joe Biden getting his cut.

You may not have heard about it because it was less common than another supposed nickname that was getting spread around. There were some charts of the alleged conspiracy, I can’t remember where… try an image search for “Hunter Biden Big Hog.”

$1.5 trillion added to the deficit with no way to pay for it as soon as Trump got into office in a blatant massive giveaway to the wealthy. The majority of the current deficit coming from you guys doing this poo poo three out of three times when you get a grand slam in an election. Shut the gently caress up about that forever- the Dems might decide one day they like winning and blast you for this like they should've been doing this entire time

Speaking of, it's not just me being an especially brilliant tactician right, I would think everyone else in this thread can see really drat obvious things the Dems could be using but aren't. People actually are dumb enough to buy into the idea of Republicans being the ones not giving all of your money away hard enough to vote for them in part

The sudden shift in support all looks weird and arbitrary to people like Rall (and most of this forum really) but he's focused on the wrong number. It's not "Number of civilians dead" that made everyone have a crisis of conscience over what's being done with our tax dollars, it's "Number of continuous days the Middle East has been in the news" that made everyone worry that we've entered another meaningless quagmire that will never end and that made everyone worry about their stocks
