I don’t care if they are Republican or Democrat. If they are criminals, they should go to jail. Release the Epstein files and send Bill and Trump to jail.

Thats the thing I don’t think they get.

“Ok, well our guy will go to jail, but so will yours!!!”

“That’s fine.”

“But then we BOTH lose!”

“This isn’t a MAD doctrine situation. This is supposed to be more like a scorched earth situation. No corruption left behind.”

And I don’t think they grasp that.

What they don’t grasp is that we’d send our guy to jail: because they won’t.

That’s the difference.

When a corrupt democrat is exposed they’re expelled (bye bye Cuomo)

When a corrupt republican is exposed they’re re-elected.

Bill was lended Epstein’s plane one time to a regular AIDs relief tour in Africa.

Trump has been on his plane many times, but more importantly called him a friend and went to his island. Many times.

You sound as crazy as the people calling Stephen Hawking a kid diddler when you say stuff like that. You, like the majority of Americans, seem to have no fucking clue what actually happens around them.

But yes, I agree, release the reports and send people who broke the law to prison.

Wow…having seen almost NONE of the other Marvel movies, I walked out of Deadpool vs Wolferine just kind of confused. Not by the plot, that was simple as shit. It was insultingly simple.

The part that confused me was “WHO IS DEMANDING THIS MOVIE???”. I don’t watch a lot of movies, but the ones I do watch I like to make “worth it”. And everybody was going on and on and on about how great this movie was going to be once it came out. And then…

Ok, imagine going to this movie, without ANY concept about who these cameos are, who a LOT of the characters are supposed to even be, and without having seen a single previous deadpool or x-men movie before.

Yeah, movie kind of sucks now, doesn’t it?

But…silver lining…at least I was able to get the joke of a Lemmy post months after the fact.

…yeah, I still want my $12 back.

Nah it was great, but it was a love letter to people who had watched every previous Deadpool and all the old Marvel movies. It wasn’t meant to be an entry into the universe. I can understand why you didn’t like it having not seen the previous, but it just wasn’t made for you.

I vote blue with my nose held as always for harm reduction, but neoliberals like Pelosi are why so many actual leftwing people that want a society walked away, they have no party that isnt enthusiastically part of the root problem of maintaining crony market capitalism at society’s catastrophic expense.

She has famously had an abysmal approval rate nationwide, but she gets more votes than her opponents so she gets to keep her seat.

Like Mitch McConnell, MTG, Lauren Boebert, or Matt Gaetz.

Ugh… I don’t really want to be that guy, but she was well liked when she was first in office. In fact, I dare say she was cool once when she advocated for more AIDS support in the late 80s and pissed off Reagan, which is always good. But that was around when I was born, haha.

Unfortunately House seats rarely see competition, and I’m certain she grew complacent with age. Almost 40 fucking years, oof.

She’s not the best, but she’s not the worst. Her biggest crime is what, using insider knowledge to trade stocks?

It’s not like she gave a list of our spies to the Russians. Or likely sold classified documents. She didn’t betray our allies. (Do I mean the Ukrainians, the Afghanis, or the Kurds?)

She was miles better than Manchin or McConnell. She wasn’t our best, but she sure as hell wasn’t a Republican. She got vilified primarily because she was a prominent Democrat for years. And it stuck because there was more than zero legitimacy.

They vilified her so much that some douchebag went after her and her husband with a hammer. There’s a reason they didn’t go after Manchin or Sinema or Menendez or McConnell or Gaetz.

This is funny because an “elder statesperson” is valuable because they’ve been in the room for allllll the dirt, over decades. They are a walking blackmail bomb and are tolerated because they can call in “favors” when compromise is really really needed.

Edit whoever downvoted this, care to comment? If you think this was a “yay pelosi” comment you’re wrong.

Her arrival at the correct answer was done through a series of mental lapses, poor judgements and terrible ideas that plopped her exactly where she should be. Like watching an episode of Mr Magoo.
