Slapping a shitty coat of paint over a complex and long-standing problem and claiming it's fixed is an apt metaphor for the last 250 years...

I like to put the phone to my ear like it's a voice call, then pretend to accidentally hang up, then refuse to answer again, then stop responding to texts.

this is an aircraft older than the typical US senator

Let's not get too hasty, the B-52H variant was first produced in 1961, making it 65 years old. A 65 year old incumbent senator still has three, maybe four good decades left in office...

Yeah, I know, but dude, there's a duck in it!

49 year old dude here, skilled labor job, gruff, grungy, rough around the edges, etc. etc.

I would fucking love these. I'd show every single one of them off to my coworkers and talk about how damn cool they are. This is spousery at its finest.

Anyone who sees something wrong with this is just a jealous, insecure asshole.

There are so, so many people these days who would have been much better off if they'd just shut up and fucked off to enjoy their fame and money.

Guliani, Musk, the idiot this headline refers to, Tim Allen, Roseanne Barr, Kevin Sorbo... etc. etc. on and on and on. I'm sure I'm forgetting another dozen or so examples.

If all of these people had just stayed out of it, kept a low profile, and just not said the quiet part out loud, they'd all still have a legacy and probably still be on Trump's good side. But they just can't do that. It's pathological.

Edit: The MAGAts will only like them as long as there's not a more successful celebrity who backs Trump. The support they get from his cult is as a consolation prize. It's not recognition of their achievements or talent, it's just for being someone who says nice things about their guy.

I am so very tired of every politician running on being a successful businessman. Government doesn't exist to turn a damn profit. All "businessman" means is that they'll continue to sell us out to their buddies.

And no, his voters didn't expect it to turn out this way. They thought they were part of the club. They expected to be invited to the party, rather than just footing the bill. Now that it's clear they won't be, all the GOP can offer them is punishing people they hate. And for far too many of them, that's still enough justification to win their support.

Turning the nation into one big company town/store.

Can't wait to be paid in scrip that's only redeemable at subsidiaries of the multinational corp. I work for.

If it hasn't been made clear that you can essentially buy an election by now...

Not that his voters don't bear some of the blame, but money helped put him in power and helped keep him there because he was profitable.

These days everything is about money, except money, which is about power.

What damn good is power if you spend your golden years grinding yourself into an undead shell?

I mean, yeah, I get that this is pathological on some level. But I'll never understand why you wouldn't have an exit strategy that allows you to enjoy the fruits of destroying a nation for at least a few years.

You know what I want to do when I'm 84? Nap. Look at pictures of my grandkids and shit. Not be in any form of legislature.

But, because this fucking ghoul can't understand the appeal of properly enjoying the last years of your life, the rest of us will probably have to work ourselves to death so that he can die while still being in control of the country and make a bunch of other sociopathic asshats money.

Fuck you, Mitch. I hope it's painful and slow.

As much as I want to say this isn't true, I really can't.
