"No potluck" and "guests bring their own food" exposes the fraud of that being any sort of mandate.

Rep Dr. Bill Cassidy (R, LA) has expressed that while he voted for the republican candidate, Mr. Biden won the election. Did not see that concession coming from that blow hard. I have a very personal distaste for Cassidy, but I'll give credit where due, he could have flamed the locals that put him in office with more conspiracy garbage, but instead he's conceding that his candidate lost. Granted, Cassidy already secured his reelection so he can do what the fuck he wants in the interim until he has to start kissing ass again in 2022.

Why do Repubs always equate rock n' roll with artists who haven't released anything worthwhile in 30-40 years?

I think this is rare instance where I can't blame Republicans for that viewpoint if that is their viewpoint but I think it might be conservative. They probably consider anything past 1980 as rock n roll. And really there isn't that much rock n roll made past 1995 that is broadly culturally relevant anyway tbh.

(if the animated horniness didn't doom my POTY chances, this post will)

They have nobody to blame but themselves for doubling down on shit like Nickelback and Florida Georgia Line when the kids started bumping 50 Cent.

Sidenote: My girlfriend had the radio on the modern rock station and there was a song called "Porn Star Dancing" on the radio and I immediately considered switching my voter registration to Republican.


I just looked that song up and it's from 2010. Even the "WHAT IS THIS NEW FILTH!?" songs are 10 years old! Jfc.

Maybe these people who are in these positions and putting self interest ahead of what their job is supposed to be while worried about political suicide, should just proceed with actual suicide.

The House passing it, however, could have an impact on the elections next month and in 2022.

Ageist Kamala here again. But do you think it's time that we start considering age maximums for holding office? Or maybe Senators & Congressmen over the age of 80 can take mental competency tests ala how senior citizens have to renew their drivers license after a certain age?

term limits of some kind, mental competency/agelimits of some kind, publicly funded elections to get all the money/lobbying out are three very simple (you know what I mean) and obvious things to do that would make a big difference. Getting all that money and lobbying out and putting everyone on the same playing field even if they still blocked out third parties (It is America after all) would be a huge step in dealing with corruption.

Not defending Tulsi but transphobia isn't right wing exclusive. There's a disappointing amount of left wing people who are liberal on everything except for trans issues (See JK Rowling).

That may be true, for whatever that may be worth to you (it's not particularly worth anything, to me), but I don't believe it applies to Gabbard.

Yeah. She has a pretty extensive history of being anti LGBT and I think she only pivoted when she realized it was inconvenient for her as a national politician. Whole recent explosion of galaxy brained libertarian hippies is baffling. Thanks a lot, Rogan!

Sen Ron Johnson, who married a woman so he could inherit her daddy's business, chose to fight against stimulus checks for Americans.

We should send Ohio a thank you card for making Wisconsin not look so bad.
