one of them cute little desert cats i forget the name

I’d read it lol

Despite all my scrolls I’m still just a cat fighting gnolls

Despite all his rage, he’s still just a cat on a page!

That’s gonna leave a mark! 😄

In the case of Eric Adams, there actually WAS a conspiracy. Only it was (somehow) completely legal and to HIS benefit.

When the Democratic primaries for mayor started, nobody wanted Eric Adams.

It took a giant and wholly fraudulent “crime is out of control and only a cop can save us” campaign from all major NY media and paid ads by groups aligned with the right wing of the Democratic party as well as the GOP to scare people into voting for him.

People wanted the policies of Cynthia Nixon but was scared into voting for Adams to save them from an imaginary crime crisis manufactured from unsupported anecdotes and manipulated data from cops.

Like…make it make sense

Easy: they’re lying bigots. When they say “America first", what they mean is " White cishet Christian men from America first and the rich ones first amongst them"

That’s far too long, complicated, and honest for a jingoistic slogan, though…

He hasn’t even done the bit!

And he hasn’t ONCE done this classic bit from Robin Hood: Men in Tights! 😤

I don’t know enough about the SPECIFIC conditions to know what he SHOULD do, but I don’t have to in order to recognize that the solution to a dysfunctional government isn’t a sledge hammer or any other kind of wanton destruction.

He ran for office dressed as his vigilante alter ego “Captain Ancap” wielding a symbolic chainsaw at the very concept of government while talking about how his top advisers are the clones of his dead dog and that’s exactly how he’s been governing as well.

Several reasons. Most of them related to bigotry, right wing politics and dehumanizing of minority groups, but I repeat myself.

When you don’t consider your enemy human, it’s your own actions that become inhumane as a result.

Hear hear! That war crime facilitator belongs in the Hague, not Foggy Bottom!

Most economists don’t attribute economic performance to leadership until their own budgets and policies have been in effect for 6-12 months

Most world leaders don’t dismantle their entire system with the sense and carefulness of a coked up toddler from day 1.

Add a special animosity towards anything that provides stability and financial security to the country as a whole or any non-rich person and you get dramatic worsening of conditions REALLY fast no matter how bad it already was.

Wouldn’t call 75 years a SPEEDrun but yeah, it definitely seems like they’re going for the 100% completion achievement…

In the TV series, they hinted at plans of VaulTec to profit off of their vaults with starting off the war with a first strike.

HINTED? They flat out SHOWED it happening!

It doesn’t have to be funny haha to be satire. Just like dramatic irony doesn’t have to be a knee slapper.

Just once, I wish the Dem leadership would be anywhere near as based as Republican demagogues always pretend they are 😮‍💨

Frens, doggos, furbabies! Lend me your treats!

I have come to bury the bone, not to eat it.

Yeah, the US State Department and intelligence agencies have never seen a far right South American despot they didn’t love.
