General Politics Discussion (V) [ARCHIVED] • Page 1468

I turned on CNN and Stephen Moore is on there talking about the national debt and his whole argument is basically "but Obama", and the economy is growing fast enough to lower the debt burden lol.

Erin Burnett, to her credit, wouldn't let him say it unchallenged.

 

Reminds me of this

 

lolol^^^^

100% because he bragged about killing a guy with a grenade and Trump thinks that's super cool and tough

 

This is still the funniest gif of all time and I will not be told otherwise

 

I just read this out loud to my roommates in a toddlers voice and then we listened to the actual audio and it was eerily spot on.

 

“Wow. What a hole.”

 

Let's do this!

"Today I was sworn into the 116th Congress alongside the most progressive and diverse group of leaders the House has ever seen. From a refugee camp to the halls of Congress, I could have never dreamed this would be possible. Now the real work begins.

I pledge to you that I will work tirelessly to fight hatred and to reclaim our democracy for all who call America home, but I can’t do it alone. Your support has brought me this far, and I need you now, more than ever.

Will you pledge to stand with me in Congress this year? ---> bit.ly/IlhanPledge

The months ahead will be difficult. There will be attacks against me because of how I look, my religious beliefs, and because I use my voice to call out injustice.
There will be those who say a woman should know her place, those who say I’m too outspoken. But we know that times like these call for courage, moral clarity, and bold action. Today, we begin that work, together.

From the beginning, our campaign has been about a new kind of politics. One where democracy doesn’t end at the ballot box. One where people powered movements work hand in hand with elected officials to win real improvements for our communities.

With your help we can make common sense ideas that were once considered radical a reality for working families across the country. Together we will fight for a Green New Deal, to Abolish ICE and the inhumane treatment of families at the border, universal healthcare, free college tuition and student debt forgiveness. We will end Trump’s shutdown and open investigations into his crimes, and if necessary begin impeachment proceedings.

The bold agenda you sent me to Congress accomplish can’t succeed without a robust movement in the streets. That’s why I’m asking you to stay engaged, stay in touch, and join me every step of the way in this fight.

Can I count on your support in Congress this year? ---> bit.ly/IlhanPledge

With Gratitude,
Ilhan Omar

Very hard yikes

Also very peak toxic masculinity to say men are not toxic and being heroic is uniquely male in the same sentence.

 

Tucker’s listening face will always be the most upsetting thing I’ve ever seen

 

“I saw more computer boards than I think they even make today”

I know there are many portions of that nonsensical rambling story to question, but that one just has me asking what the fuck does that even mean?

“Republican Senator Cory Gardner is trying to not be unemployed in exactly 2 years from today.”
