2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

Your (current) logical fallacy is... Whataboutism!

Ah yes, the mythical white woman who would have raised $250 million in 24 hours instead of just a record breaking $100 million.

Hilary… but they didn’t vote for her

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Hillary raised $90 million in the entire month of July.

Harris raised $89 million in a single day in July.

If that's the best they got they're fucked

If I said some clown ass shit like this while representing my employer I'd get dropped so hard. Would love to see this turd face some consequences - other than having to live inside his own head anyway

Btw when the GOP says "DEI hire" they mean ""

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

I know this has been posted ad nauseam but it still makes me laugh.

All black people with jobs that aren't fast food worker or janitor are "DEI hires" because conservatives are racist and don't believe that black people can actually be qualified for any higher level job.

You'll never see a conservative praise a business or department for clever hiring if the person/people they just hired happen to be black. It's either white person or DEI hire to their minds.

What really frustrates me is the sudden latching in to a phrase or acronym. DEI has been corporate policy for a WHILE, in that exact wording. But all of a sudden it's this hot take talking point insult. Idk I've had a few beers I hope that makes sense

Idk I’ve had a few beers I hope that makes sense

You're 100% correct despite the beer.

If the GQP cared about white women they wouldn't have let their courts decimate Roe. Next ridiculous argument please.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago

They could always Dementia Don the racist rapist with 34 felonies that complete a coherent sentence drop out because he's too old, and replace him with a white female. Personally, I'd like to see that Jewish space lasers nutjob get her ass handed to her by our current VP.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago

Would the GOP like to have a white woman as a candidate as an alternative? No? Then STFU.

(I know, they'd probably give us Majorly Tugid Greens or something, but still.)

DEI

FYI: Diversity, equity and inclusion, not Department of Election Interference (which is currently staffed by Republicans anyway)

Like CRT, it's one of their buzzwords for "bad thing" that I wouldn't know otherwise.

Sorry House Cons, did you say Hillary Clinton? It’s really hard to understand you with all that feces in your mouths.

Yeah, but Trump doesn't have the lobes for it, either.

[–] [email protected] 63 points 3 months ago

What happened to white women? Well, she ran for office and you claimed she was unfit for office because women are emotionally unstable and something about emails that magically disappeared as soon as Ivanka got caught ACTUALLY deleting emails.

He doesn't specify a species. Is he talking about female polar bears? Corn snakes? Albino rats?
