I came back to ask the Americans... are you ok?

Dorf,

You are watching from afar. Probably in Britain. Get your news from the BBC? CNN? From my time in UK and CH there was no news outlet available that reported the actual news of the US.
I don't do TV, so the news is from a variety of online sites.
But news rarely covers the full story, and rarely shows things from the perspective of the average citizen. It's like going abroad and staying in the resort.
Been here long enough to know your user Dorf is a second to one of the noisy ones on here. Fuzzy is your friend.
False.
Somebody still has some explaining to do with how the Joe Biden who showed up at the debate was hidden away from everyone until it was too late to really do anything about it.
Yeah, that was wild. He seemed like he might drop dead at times, and then stepped aside when the battle was already lost.
Our politicians are shit too, but they do tend to be too young for dementia speculation.
 
Medicare is beaten, but that happened on Broadway Joey’s watch.
yeah ole President Biden really crippled Medicare when he imposed a cap of $35 per vial of insulin, which is the going price in the rest of the civilized world.

Thankfully, co-President Trump did away with that nonsense, repealing that price limit by executive fiat on his first day in office. Now them fatasses will have to fend for themselves...."survival of the fittest" and all that. Like your buddy HisArpy always says, "they should just LOSE WEIGHT!" (of course, he still points and snickers at me because, y'know, I lost 150 pounds 12 years ago and kept it off.....but nobody here will ever accuse HisArpy of being consistent on any issue...).

Speaking of Diabeetus and fatasses, I wonder if the sudden spike in insulin prices has resulted in both "sticker shock" and "insulin shock" for your bestie, AJ? I wonder how long he'd survive in a diabetic coma?
 
“My lawn service, comprised entirely of hard-working Hispanic men, has disappeared without a trace.”

There’s going to be a huge shortage of labour when your slaves are all freed/deported.
I don't particularly care if Red State farmers have all of their crops rot in the field, but I live in Houston, dammit, and by law and custom there is a "taco truck" in the parking lot of every major intersection. I cannot abide their disappearance!

(Even more worrisome is the trend of replacing them with "Kebab wagons", manned by swarthy Middle Easterners who undoubtedly voted against Kamala Harris in the 2024 election!)

(Terrorist kebabs are pretty good though, and their "Shatta" 🔥 hot sauce doubles as a wonderful tasty alternative to magnesium citrate when prepping for a colonoscopy)
 
Gross exaggeration is a common factor across the cratered landscape of left wing politics.
The medicare website was shut down because the administration did not provide adequate guidance prior to their actions.

I.e. it has impacted every agency

CDC Vaccination child vaccination schedules have been removed from their websites to accommodate incoming Secretary RFK Jr.'s whacko viewpoints

The CDC also removed the web page that warned against taking birth control pills with certain medications. Good girls don't need to know this sort of stuff, and bad girls ("sluts" in Ish-speak) need to suffer the consequences of their whorish behavior and GET RIGHT WITH GOD!
 
Master bloviator.
That's "Master Bloviator, Esquire" to you, bub! :(

Squire Derpy has long held that he is a "member in good standing" of his State Bar Association, which goes to show how far legal ethical standards have dropped in the past 20 years or so.

I also meant it seriously…. Once you deport and scare away X Number of the 11 Million , it will show up as a labour shortage.

If the cost of all that undocumented modern day slave labour doubles or triples, restaurants, delivery companies, convenience stors, etc will create economic drag.

It will be interesting to see if/when it happens before or after Midterms.
 
Can't help thinking that even the sycophantic senate and Congress are going to call time on the Don and 'Lon show before too long. The two of em are currently acting so high-handed and rule-by-fiat, they're in danger of making their arse-licking legislative support base utterly irrelevant.

Nah.

Republican cowards in congress are going to leave it to the courts to act as a check on President Musk (and DonOld) imho.

Hopefully voters will remember in the 2026 midterms and in /2028…but don’t count on it…

😑

🤬
 
Personally, I'm feeling great, President Trump just keeps pissing the libtards off, which means he's doing everything right. They more the cry and complain, the more I cheer on their President and mine, President Trump.

I'm often left with the distinct impression that, for a significant percentage of the American population, on both sides of the divide, getting what the opposition didn't want is as important as getting what you did want.
 
Question: Do you think running a woman against trump was a tactical error? With such a divisive character, wouldn't the sensible choice be a boring, middle aged white guy, with a wife, four kids, and a history or military service and businesses success?

WTF???

🤔

It's just Republicans who feel that way. Democrats want policies that benefit all Americans, even the voters in red states who regularly vote against their own self-interest.

You being a soap box windbag, raining down fiery proclamations, and convinced the world’s salvation hinges on your pervasive monologues isn't of adequate elevation from which to instruct or judge the accomplishments of the honorable HisArpy.
 
Sometimes good ethics and good tactics are a long way apart.
Would the Conservatives have lost so many voters to Reform if they weren't trying to appeal to a certain demographic using hardline anti immigrations policies presented by Sunak and Braverman?
 
What's with all the name changes?? Fucksake people!
Good question! Let's see if I can recall the board drama:
  • Ishmael, of course, declared he had a free speech right to doxx anyone and everyone here, regardless of site Terms of Service Result: BANHAMMERED.
  • BotanyBoy disagreed with a woman who posted her fondness for cuckolding her husband, he said he would beat her until she ended up in Intensive Care Unit. Result: BANHAMMERED.
  • AJ: AJ got tired of the trend, first begun by Butters, of calling out AJ for having a political position that was exactly the opposite of one he held just one month ago. Result: CREATION OF A NEW USERID EACH MONTH. This makes it exceptionally difficult to reconcile his hypocrisy of people cannot recall his name.
  • Vetteman Vetteman got a job working at a Burger King popup restaurant at an American air base in Afghanistan. In order to pass a background check, he begged management to delete his entire posting history here. They agreed, partially out of patriotic respect and partly because they were amused that Vetteman would actually be doing physical labor after sitting around for 15 years. Trump ended the war in Afghanistan, and Vetty was back here, posting as "Rightguide". Side note: Because Laurel completely deleted all traces of "Vetteman", somebody realized that the name "Vetteman" was available and re-registered the name on this site and posts from time to time as a Vetteman parody.
  • Wat_Tyler: This one is odd. Wat_Tyler has been brooding for literally fucking years here about his failure to qualify for military service (height issues). He fetishizes guns and as often the case here with MAGA devotees, one day he went too far and created a list of people here that he'd like to shoot. Now NORMALLY that is a BANHAMMER offense, but management here gave him a one-time pass due to his dwarfism (okay, that's a bit of an exaggeration, he exceeds the scientific definition of "dwarfism" by almost two inches) and gave him a stern slap on his petite wrist. He sulked for days over on the GB Lounge (they have a "100 Kilo Koffee Klatch Klub" for the ladies over there, Wat is their "club mascot"). Wat reloaded his verbal vitriol cannon and has been shitposting like a madman ("maddwarf"?) back here ever since.
  • Que/Conager (unrelated) passed away circa 2020 of septic shock
  • Master racist James B Johnson passed away in that time frame as well. He died as he lived, an unrepentant White Supremacist. Both of his daughters gave birth to children fathered by African American men. God has a sense of humor
Question: Do you think running a woman against trump was a tactical error? With such a divisive character, wouldn't the sensible choice be a boring, middle aged white guy, with a wife, four kids, and a history or military service and businesses success?
Good question, there are a variety of factors that came out in the past election.
  • Trump was elected with razor-thin majorities in virtually every state that had sizeable minority populations, something like 50-to-49% (1% to the "spoiler candidates"). MAGA spins this as a "landslide".
  • The number of white Democrats voting, particularly in Midwestern and Southern states, actually dropped from 2020 to 2024. This would suggest that a certain demographic of white Democrat voters could not bring themselves to vote for a woman, which is troublesome. (The avalanche of newly empowered black women made up a lot of that shortage, it simply wasn't enough).
  • Israeli despot Benjamin Netanyahu did everything he could to get Trump elected. Early on, he realized he had virtually no chance of convincing significant numbers of American Jews to vote for Trump, so he pivoted and campaigned tirelessly for Arab-americans to "vote for anyone except Biden". That latter strategy has paid off. Trump got elected and now Arabs are being evicted from Gaza.
  • And finally, this last election proved beyond a doubt that there is a hardcore minority of white trash voters who will never under any circumstances vote for a "colored" and/or a "woman" EVER....and they will work very hard to keep people who DO vote for these people they deem "undesirable" from having their votes counted.
nThat's a shitter. We're all just so fucking old these days.
AJ has been in a steep decline since his injuring his back at his gig job unloading Christmas boxes at Walmart in 2017. Without his government supplied "mobility scooter" he'd likely be dead already.
