My manager that comes to work, yells at his assistant, fires half the staff, and is nearly bankrupting the company might be a huge moron but by god he has so much energy, how does he do it all?
how does he do it all?
cocaine
None of those things you listed are bad though?
Worst person you know etc etc, but can you imagine Dems having such clarity of vision and dedication to a cause?
Like imagine if you woke up one day and found out all student loan was forgiven, the next day “right-to-work” was abolished, the next day Medicare was expanded to all?
If Obama wasn’t so spineless and actually believed in anything, he could’ve done something like that.
Well he did belive in something. Himself lol
and he believed in all the liberal propaganda about the US there is
What about the norms, tho?
He deserves to give himself a big hecking pat on the back for following the norms 🥰
eh, just controlled opposition party sucking up to different sections of the burgeoise.
theyd never do that not because of spines, but because they already do what they themselves set out to.
Exactly. The Dems have plenty of dedication to maintaining the status quo and fucking us all over, that really isn’t the issue.
If the dems had clarity of vision, they would be running donald trump
I’ll never understand why stupid people are compelled to give fascists the most charitable reading all the time.
Maybe captain overrated is a total dipshit with no redeeming qualities. I don’t care if he’s “soooo charismatic”, I still don’t want to be discriminated against and the fact that everyone likes these assholes solely for being funny just shows Amerikkka’s ass as a vapid excuse for a culture.
Liberals are correct to recognize that Trump’s admin came in with an agenda and have been unrelenting in executing it.
But their takeaway is not “Progressives should take the lead, articulate an agenda, and be equally unrelenting in executing it. When the Supreme Court blocks forgiving student loans, fire everyone at DoE in charge of collecting them. When the Supreme Court makes abortion illegal, provide those services in Military Bases in Red states. When Congress is unwilling to pass a Green New Deal, just do it unilaterally with EOs; and when the judiciary demands you stop, ask them how they plan to enforce their decree.”
Liberals are inherently conservative. They would fight tooth and nail to maintain the current structures that leave them hobbled. Meanwhile Republicans have learned “The power to destroy a thing, is the absolute control over it.”
Great takeaway tbh but you’d need the cops on your side. Otherwise they’re the answer to the question how the judiciary plans on enforcing their decree
And those cops have names, addresses, and family members that they probably want to keep around. It’s past time we put some real fear in those pigs lives.
Look I hate Trump’s policies, I think he’s an existential threat to democracy, the rule of law, due process, and my cheap treats. I think he’s profaning the sacred. But he is the president, by golly, and I am a proud American.
Also he invoked the “I’m da baby, gotta love me” defense from the 90’s sitcom Dinosaurs
Ten months later:
“you are under arrest and found guilty by the court of me, a deputized Christian nationalist”
“this is exactly like a USSR-CPC gulag archipelago animal farm”That Hitler fellow is really into ruining everything for everyone, but bless his cotton socks, he is trying very hard!
Same energy as: “I mean, say what you like about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it’s an ethos.”
Does anyone else find the coked out psycho jumping on the couch and setting shit on fire entertaining? No, just me?
thought the article was going to be “I’ve detested 75% of what trump has done so far, BUT he’s been great for unwinding the amerikkkan empire”
somewhat disappointed.
No one has ever commented on the fascist exaltation towards action and energy. Laudable!
Trump will ban spaghetti within the week!
Brooks gettin’ freaky? Emphasis mine.
I understand that Trump’s opponents don’t want to sit around passively waiting for him to implode. But they don’t have to. Clausewitz argued that anybody who tries to do big things encounters “friction”: unpleasant surprises, tension in the ranks, unforced errors, unlucky breaks. Trump opponents’ main job now is to maximize the amount of friction he faces as he tries to initiate his plans — lawsuits, leaks, noncooperation, non-deal-making, delays, getting inside his head with psychological warfare. He needs to wake up each day in such a storm of troubles that his cheeks get chapped.
I read this as “cheeks get clapped” and wanted to die
David “BoBo” Brooks
CW: this is one of the the most cursed book ever written
David Brooks writing about his social circle in his media career like its some kind of grand movement is almost as egregious as him talking down to an entire generation while doing a thinly veiled criticism of his younger wife.
Up next for the book club “literally everyone is a rock star and doing cocaine” by David Lee Roth
Is there not some accuracy to the idea that bourgeois style went from formal, conforming, and restrictive in the immediate post-war period to loose, expressive, and individualized by the end of the century? Tech, business, and finance giants aren’t rock stars but it sure seems like they want to be.
You’re probably right, I was just quick on the trigger to dunk on on Brooks because he constantly is like “everything is like this now” but it’s just happening to him.
Yeah fair, he is categorically a massive turd.
Cancerous is the word you’re looking for David
