Pet peeves: The return (Part 6)

At least the qanon shamans (it’s plural now) throatsinging and blessing people with burning sage outside the court was hysterically funny.

“Lock her up!” and “But her emails-!” on the one hand.
“Witch hunt” and “Politically motivated!” on the other.

Hmn… smells like Hypocrisy :thinking:

Deliberate ambiguity is a mob boss tactic. Giving directives and orders without outright saying person X should do Y yo Z person is well established to be his active communication to subordinates since the 80’s.

You can’t be pinned if you didn’t outright say it.

They’re immune to hypocrisy in want of shame, drenched in internal biases. Hypocrisy is a weapon to be used as an accusation, pointing out flaws in the opposition and never acknowledged.

The US political system in a nutshell.

On one hand you got a party trying to turn the country into an ethnofascist christian theocracy lead by a cult leader and on the other you have old white men saying they will do a lot of things that never go through due to various issues like the other party or the very not subtle being paid by groups like the NRA to not to those things.

It’s a mess, but I’d still take the lesser evil over the bigger one

Our main newspaper here interviewed some guy outside who said exactly this and that he never even heard what Trump was accused of. When they presented his charges, said guy just refused to look at it because “its fake”.

Being incredibly stupid is one thing. Being willfully stupid is just as malicious as being willfully evil in my opinion.

Absolutely.

Like in the UK. No, I don’t particularly want Labour, as I trust a lawyer-turned-politician and his tepid Centrist nonsense about as far as I could throw the oik.
But I will vote for them, or whoever else is Tactical in my county, because the Tories are objectively freaking worse, and four more years after the 14 absolutely abysmmal years so far is actually disgusting to have to think about…

But Kaytlinne, the tories are offering us stability!

I will take a chance with “It might not be awful, it may even be better” over “We have a firm foundation established in Hell now!”

unironically heard people at work talking about how they’d rather vote conservative for stability than risk going with labour

it’s the wildest thing i’ve ever heard and as much as i try and remind them that this has been the least stable government in living memory, their fear of starmer is getting the better of them

i don’t think it’s going to be as much as a landslide as people are trying to hope into existence

Oh, I’ve no doubt that a worrying number of people are going to continue being Freaking Stupid™
But I have to hope that it will be a change, this time.

Saw a dead beheaded kitten on the sidewalk last night

Whyyyyy

Who does this

I’m altogether very upset at knowing that’s a thing that happened, sorry you had to see that, and furious that, out there somewhere, a scumbag oxygen thief is still walking around with all their teeth and kneecaps still intact…

Quintessentially conservative consistency I guess. Sure, things are terrible and we’ll foight to keep it that way! Imagine if things were to change in any way! Stability! Unchanging stagnation. Continuity of suffering. Take comfort in your inevitable decay. Praise Grandfather Nurgle. :fly:

I wish I could go back and find whoever coined ‘Keep Calm and Carry On’.
I just want to talk…

I read that as “butterfly males in your area” and was confused.
