Besmirching Elmo’s good name. 😞 Awful.

even Oscar the Grouch has cleaner hands than this whole admin, and that motherfucker lives in a garbage can.

He’s literally at a fundraiser with a bunch of pro-business fucks giving this mealy-mouthed speech. He literally expanded all the worst parts of the Bush admin which are now being pointed at US citizens like mass surveillance.

No he didn’t explicitly vote for it himself, but he admitted himself that if he had run in the 80’s he would have been considered a Republican. For fucks sake, “Obamacare” was actually “Romneycare,” can we stop acting like the entire party apparatus as a whole doesn’t deep throat big business? Because it fucking does and it doesn’t matter if he didn’t directly vote for that himself, he’s still part and parcel to the people who make it this fucking bad. That’s literally the people he is giving a speech to here.

Because they are the ones who care about shit like environmental regulations and not polluting our cities to make new housing, especially when so much property is being held and unused by an investor class who refuses to release it until they have a profit on the deal. I have lived in two northwest cities in the last 15 years where the downtowns are barren with empty buildings that could be sold, torn down, and built into apartments. But noooo in each city they’d rather clearcut the wooded areas and build there instead all the while whinging about environmental regulations making it costly.

Whatever the fuck happened to that Eminent Domain shit? Why aren’t we using that for the good of housing people?

Hope and change was always a lie to just get into office and then hand it all to businesses. I mean fuck the ACA insurance mandate was basically holding citizens hostage and forcing them to pay healthcare insurance providers whether the insurance actually left them with enough money leftover to use their “access” to healthcare or not.

Fuck all the navel gazing about how it would bring insurance costs down. A public option would have done more.

Literally the guy who said “we need to look forward, not backward” when it came to prosecuting the Bush admin for fucking war crimes of all things and then expanded, codified, and legalized the mass surveillance and the drone wars… Which are now all being used against US citizens.

Indignation: Give me a fucking break!

You know the answer, right?

The people in Katrina were mostly black people.

I know Kanye is a crazed fucking idiot now, but he talked real talk for one moment in his life when he said “George Bush doesn’t care about black people.”

The cost of making spambot AI reveal themselves in all caps rhyming poetry?

Priceless.

For everything else there’s Mastercard.

It feels odd/uncomfortable that we have AI governance working at credit card companies, but I guess you could do worse than someone who actually understands how to bait them.

Conservatives hate this one weird trick to get a dick!

That’s incredibly tragic. I might still be single, and I’ve dated some beautiful women, but none of them wanted to hurt me.

I can hear it in my head.

Look, don’t destroy my hopes for seeing a revolution from people doing silly walks. Things are awful, gotta have some levity in there.

Also, more seriously, never underestimate the US governments willingness to embrace a half-baked technology and willingness to embrace false positives as positives.

Also don’t forget to do a silly walk to avoid gait analysis.

It’s a real post, but evidence suggests its a joke.

Not for long with how Trump is fucking up trade with the rest of world and dollars and bonds aren’t looking to hot.

To prevent you from renting a new apartment, mostly. Go in with an eviction on your record and try to get a place and you’ll mostly just be denied.

“I’m really not here to represent any candidate,” Paterson said.

“I’m just here to villify the one who actually won the fucking primary because fuck democracy, y’all. We own your asses, we call the shots, and like hell are we gonna let you people change that!”
