This 60-second animation shows how divided Congress has become over the last 60 years
Of course it worsened visibly with Reagan.
Incidentally, I mildly disagree with OP’s analogy. Yes, the wheel is turning further to the right, yes, the democrats aren’t doing enough to stop or even wheel it back, but there’s no spring coil in the wheel, it wouldn’t snap back by itself if you removed the blue from the picture. That’s bullshit.
Are you saying “sew the fucking sock” is an allusion to low-paid factory or sweatshop work?
SEW THE FUCKING SOCK
Can somebody explain this? I have no idea what it means (I understand the other bubble).
you will absolutely be as convinced as they were
Not sure if you’re joking.
I thought that was already cleared up. That this was due to a misinterpreted quirk in the COBOL programing language? And as a result, Musk wants to rewrite the whole thing “in a few months”?
And it says a lot about the US of 2025 that his really isn’t the braindeadest thing we’ve witnessed.
I wouldn’t mind some of that Revolt Brew 🍻
OK, seriously though, I’m glad someone is fighting back. It seems most people who are in such positions that they should speak up, have lost their tongues.
“All it takes for evil to succeed, is for good people to stand by and do nothing.”
Either that or they’re really pumped about going in there with guns blazing.
I hate this comment. I hate how accurate it is.
Just one of many lols in that video
Oh my. Apparently Trump pointed to this TikTok and said: “This. This is exactly What I’m doing.”
Is the video a parody or serious? Could go either way. That’s the Crux of Poe’s Law.
And that’s where America stands these days: the ruling party is a parody, the government depends on social media shitposting to justify its own actions.
There seems to be too many of those.
Lots of people around the world are in that position every day.
Emigration is never an easy decision.
edit: even so, in most countries USians would be significantly more welcome than most refugees. Even now.
I’m sorry I don’t remember the exact phrasing. There was some sort of threat, based on the claim that they weren’t actually really fired.
edit: This was reported by the (ex-?)employees themselves, with the original text of that message.
my first thought too. Well played.
You think our beef is beautiful, wait til you see our mutton 🤤🍆💦
I did absolutely no homework about tariffs
Yep, it’s this bit that really got me:
While Kennedy didn’t vote against Trump’s emergency tariff powers he criticized the lack of clarity on economic impacts.
Understandable for some hillbilly gop voter to complain like that, but a senator? It’s his job to make informed decisions!
And what are the chances he knew, and didn’t vote against it regardless? Assuming Signalgate shows us the average intelligence of the current government, I’d say 50/50.
I don’t think it has to be funny? That said I find the ratchet analogy entirely incorrect:
