Say whatever you want about the advisability of Biden dropping out, it is going to make the best fucking content.
Real leftist unity right here. Either way it's gonna be 10 times more interesting than biden vs trump.
Can someone please lift the interesting curse. Can we have boring back?
No, we've been instructed to live in interesting times, and goddammit that's what we're doing.
Whoever read this fortune forgot to add the mandatory "in bed" at the end.
Now, we're all fucked.
Now we're all fucked... in bed!
That is my preferred location.
Idk man, sometimes switching things up is nice, gets boring when you just do it in the same place all the time.
Fortune? No, we're up against some real monkey's paw shit at this point. Someone blurted out all five wishes at once without thinking, and here we are.
Everyone, quick, grab a lamp, a bottle, a vase, anything, and start rubbing.
We're gonna need tbose genie's.
… anything?
You heard what I said.
And now Trump being shot at is no longer being reported lol
It was a big deal, but his injury was minimal and there is no flashy politcal reason for the attack. The murder of the crowd is just background noise in our gun soaked politics.
The kid had deep depression and was looking for a big target of either party to "suicide by cop." The lack of a manifesto or an outward politcal lean, regardless of his conservative roots, makes it just a weak story.
I love that the U.S. is so fucked that the attempted assassination of a former U.S. President is old news after a week.
We're all still hoping for a copycat.
I'm just commenting that the news cycle ate it up. I said that it would as if happened and sure enough, this did it.
It was never about him being shot though, it was about mental health, right? 😏
