Yeah Obama, it's really a fucking mystery how we've become so divided. (I'm not blaming Biden solely. It's both parties, the MSM, social media, etc.)

Well played.

SCOTUS says Virginia can purge dead people from voter rolls.

Semantics. Anyone arguing against requiring ID to vote is just arguing in favor of voter fraud. There is, literally, no other reason not to require it.

FYI, here are some other things you cannot do without ID: Join the U.S. military. Pay taxes. Sign up for government services.

IDs are free and the argument that the poor and minorities cannot get them is ignorant, elitist, and racist:


The overwhelming majority of other civilized countries require ID to vote. They also get their results back within hours.

Or 15M illegals getting so much money that FEMA is broke. Or continuing wars in two places. Or the federal government actively suppressing information to influence an election. Or the Biden national debt disaster which is behind Trump's, but still climbing. Or the skyrocketed cost of living. Or the frozen housing market because nobody can afford to buy or sell. And we haven't even touched social issues.

All you're voting for is how you get fucked.

Fair point. I should have said "fucked over". Getting "fucked" implies pleasure.

Both roads lead to the same place.

Yes, the country is very divided, but I enjoy that there are people who can have fun with it.

Oh no, he misspoke and corrected it a few minutes later.

Whereas Trump/MAGAts are pieces of shit all the time denigrating more than half of America constantly.

Considering Biden's comment, I don't think it's much of a self-own.

Before, you said he immediately clarified his comment. He didn't.

Days later, it was determined that the dementia patient actually just didn't finish his sentence, and we were supposed to hear the apostrophe in what he said. Ok. I don't think not hearing an apostrophe in a sentence fragment makes anyone insane.

All media everywhere seem to consider it a fuckup.

I figured you'd respond from that angle.

I just wish I had the pipeline to the pure facts you seem to have.

This.
“The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters,” Biden said, pausing for a moment before continuing. “His, his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable and it’s un-American.”
They can spin it however they want. This is what he said and that's from the CNN article.

Oh, and if it was "an old man moment", let me remind you they've been telling us for 3 years that he's the sharpest guy in the room. You know, until he got exposed on TV as being a dementia patient.

In other news, Colorado accidentally leaked passwords for their voting machines.

They accidentally posted them to their website for 5 days...

The SOS, who had previously tried to get Trump removed from the ballot, refuses to accept responsibility for her department's failure.

More fuel for people to not accept the election results.

So he hates their demonization of Latinos, got it. Entirely reasonable position, I support it 100%. Too bad the media mis-reported it.

Just to be clear.... you're saying if one states that a region/country/whatever is a "floating island of garbage,"... you are actually disparaging the entire race, globally, of people who happen to live in said shithole/region/country/territory/whatever? 100%? Because if so, this is a game changer.

I've been to PR. I better not express my opinion of the carpet of syringes I walked on down the streets of San Juan.... because I don't actually have anything against latinos.

And we better stop talking about the homeless mess that is San Francisco. Wouldn't want to be homophobic.

ANd now no one can talk about the incestuous south, lest they be racist against blacks.

Yep. This is a game changer.

I'm not sure if I would call PR a "floating island of garbage," but I wouldn't call it the jewel of the Caribbean, either.

Maybe the only fair move in the name of freedom (and Party loyalty) is to censor comedians.

During the cruise we took for our honeymoon the only port we were warned not to stray from the port was Puerto Rico. It's where I saw the guy standing on the corner holding the silver plated hand cannon in a neighborhood made up of sheet metal shack houses.

It is indeed a shithole. Not the residents' fault though. Their local government is as corrupt as it gets and the federal government only cares about them every four years.

This trolling would be a lot funnier if it wasn't so on brand for cultists.
