Did it "age like milk" when they were just lying the whole time?

Cheese is good, though. Bullshit seems like a more appropriate comparison.

Jean-Paul Sartre said it best I think.

"Never believe that anti-Semites [fascists] are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past."

What sucks here is she opposes Trump's bill.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 3 days ago (5 children)

She voted for the bill in the House, then came out against it stating that she didn't know the bill limited AI regulation.

The bill then went to the Senate where the provisions limiting AI regulation were removed, and then passed.

The House will once again vote on the bill, which now does not restrict AI regulation.

She hasn't made any statement but presumably she now supports the bill, given her only complaint about it has been removed.

She says she opposes it after voting for it. Don’t let her off the hook.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

Oh indeed: that's part of what really makes this curdle.

She'll fall in line like the rest of the spineless Reps.

Stop slandering Orangutans. That’s a candid shot of a fine gentleman.

Comparing them to MTG is a horrific action.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

you're right. pretty much every primate species is more advanced than MTG. my bad

Isn't this a howler monkey? Point still stand though.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

You’re probably right. I don’t know my monkeys very well.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

Clearly, for the orangutan is an ape!🤦

/s, just teasing, although it IS an ape, just like my mother.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Like your mother and every other human in existence.

I interpreted it as "sarcastically pretending to be shocked by something that isn't really surprising", rather than a comparison to MTG

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

i like this interpretation. however, unfortunately the intent was "MTG is a monkey screaming at shit because it doesn't know how to do anything the way humans do things"

"Entitlement Reform" has been a watchword in both parties going back to the Reagan Administration.

Democrats will tell you they've got an innovative exciting new solution to slow the rate at which health care costs rise, then shift a bunch of public sector money over to private sector subsidies.

Republicans will tell you they're cutting fat out of the system, then transform a bunch of public sector spending into private sector tax breaks.

Healthcare gets more expensive and less accessible. Each team blames the other one. A few socialists in some of the bluer states suggest we try a public Medicare-for-All model, then get primaried out of office in the next cycle by a pack of lobbyists in blue waist coats.

"Ah, but the pawl and the gear are clearly two different components doing separate things!" I cry, to any sucker who will listen.

you can just say you voted for trump, you don't need to show a diagram

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Don't work, Daddy musk is here to make a 3rd party which will toxify the potential of any legitimate 3rd party, and we will continue on with the same system.

If their plan for not having elections at all doesn't come to fruition

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I, for one, am excited to see him Billionaire Blowout himself on a scale not seen since Bloomberg hemorrhaged $1B during the 2020 Primaries to come in fourth place.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

He can't run for president. He wasn't born in the USA.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

If Trump can run for a 3rd term, I don't see why Mamdani can't run for his 1st.

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

Oh no, I can absolutely see him starting a DOGE Party. He has enough money to entirely bankroll it himself. I wish he wasn't such a dipshit man child; he's in a position to do so much good, yet just makes everything he touches worse.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

which will toxify the potential of any legitimate 3rd party

Third parties are only not toxic when they are big enough to be a main party and at that time they are too full of corruption to be any good.

It is looking like that more and more. If they don't fight back they are complacent and the same.
