Don't do it, GOP. Those traitors were willing to look the other way while widespread "voting irregularities" happened, yet were super happy to support a 2 year long $40 million investigation into how Trump could have possibly won the 2016 election despite no reports of voting irregularities.
If you're going to win, grow a pair and hold these corrupt corporations accountable for once instead of selling your soul to them.
Yep, that's how political cartoons work. Everything in them is literal. In one, Ben showed Fauci as a kitchen faucet. He wants to turn Fauci into a piece of plumbing! Who will stop this madman?!?!?!
For the liberals in this thread, the above comments were satire and should not be interpreted literally.
Before I was allowed to take the vaccine, I had to sign a waiver saying that I understood the vaccine had not undergone full testing, and that if I were to experience any injury or, God forbid, death, it was not the fault of the government or Johnson & Johnson.
Do you really think it's reasonable to demonize people who don't want to sign such a waiver over a disease that, statistically, most have no chance of dying from?
Found the peaceful tolerant liberal...
You seem to be struggling with the idea that tolerance is a boolean attribute you either have or don't have. I think you know that's untrue. Everyone tolerates most things while not tolerating some things.
I've been to a few MAGA rallies. I never saw any Nazi flags there. However, I have seen a ton of lefty protesters operating false flags and trolls. Those dopes always get booed and thrown out.
The criticism of communism isn't that it has an explicit racial component that wants to kill racial minorities. It's that it has an ill-founded economic and psychological component that has the effect of killing lots of people.
When the Russian communists forcibly confiscated Ukrainian farm land and then tried to have them run by government commissars in one big mass farm system, they were doing it with the good intentions by trying to use use economies of scale to provide more food for everyone.
The problem was they robbed the actual farmers of agency and destroyed the actual motivation to efficiently grow food. Government employees, who get compensated whether they grow little food or a lot of food, are going to naturally maximize their personal gain. Since that gain couldn't be monetary, all they could do was minimize their own expense and effort. So they spent as little effort as possible, and those farms largely failed.
That lead to famine and mass starvation that was so bad, when the Nazis invaded Ukraine during WWII, some Ukrainians temporarily welcomed them as liberators.
That's why most of the modern day governments that still call themselves communist or socialist have largely abandoned the economic ideals of communism and have almost all adopted free market systems.
Even though I was never a fan of the Iraq war, I never truly appreciated at the time just how delusional that photo op was.
Democrat's anger back then seemed justified. However, it's surprised me at how fluid the Democrat's beliefs became over time. I grew up hearing Democrats call for Bush to be tried for war crimes, not just over how he clearly lied about the pretense for war, but also over the allegations of torture and the bombing of civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Then when he makes the most modest of snubs of Trump in 2016, all while Trump campaigns on ending wasteful foreign wars and spending those trillions domestically, Democrats start to fawn over Bush and reminisce over the good old days of the Bush era. And then when Trump actually starts to bring more troops home, something they cheered for when Obama did it, thy lambast Trump as "abandoning our allies". Uh, no, communist and al Qaeda terrorists in Syria and northern Iraq fighting Turkey, our actual ally, are not our allies.
I was a Democrat during the Bush era, and I hated the guy and his bullshit wars. Now that I'm a Republican, largely because Democrats have shifted so far to the left, I still hate the guy and his bullshit wars. His neo-con foreign adventurism was arguably the single biggest blow to the GOP and helped bring a surge of Democrats into power that would last for almost a decade, causing massive social harm to our country and, ironically, no end to the actual wars Democrats campaigned against. It was, of all people, Trump, who finally ordered the end of the Afghanistan war.
Maybe that's what Democrats miss most about Bush. Being such an incompetent leader that he made it easy for them to win elections.
