It’s Dale Earnhardt and a couple other people

Yeah because slogans always tell the whole story and middle eastern politics never mixes with religion 🙄

Also, even if it IS a group of religious nuts, does that make ALL of them terrorists?

Your anger is futile.

Aww it’s cute that you think your bullshit is crafty enough to rile me up lol. My use of emphatic language is out of bafflement, not anger.

go look it up.

Nope. Not going to spend the time and effort looking up YOUR claim. YOU provide a source or stfu.

Btw, even IF it bizarrely turns out that the notoriously pro-business and anti-consumer conservatives were the ones who came up with it, that doesn’t change the context and meaning which I’m using it.

That’s not what astroturfing is… you should brush up on the term.

I literally defined the term for you. Unlike you, I’m fully aware of what it means. You’re acting like Vizzini from The Princess Bride with his constant misuse of “inconceivable!”

It seems like you’re going through some stuff

If by that you mean “wasting time and effort trying to talk sense into a Dunning Kruger poster boy”, then yeah. I have bad impulse control that sometimes makes me keep answering when bad faith arguing idiots adress me directly even though I know it’s a bad idea.

In conclusion: you started out with nonsense and if anything just got worse from there. Please leave me alone.

So much fucking stereotyping!

Houthis are a mostly political movement and the de facto government of the most populous parts of Yemen.

Saying “our action targets the Houthis and not the people of Yemen” is straight nonsense deliberately designed to paint the chosen government of most of the Yemeni people as identical to small groups of terrorists within the large movement.

It’s straight out of the Dubya/Cheney/Rumsfeld playbook of manufacturing consent for war crimes.

I hope it’s not the left one. I only had enough shaving cream left this morning to do the other two.

Quotes conservative media

The fuck I did! Conservatives didn’t coin that nickname, progressives did! Progressives pointing out that he was suspiciously helpful to a major campaign donor to the detriment of regular people.

Since when has Joe Biden been marketed as a grassroots candidate?

Since every time they’ve portrayed him as just a regular middle class man of the people friend of union workers, none of which he actually is.

I’m genuinely worried about your critical thinking skills

Right back at you, shitlib. Have the day you deserve.

Nah, that was SENATOR Mullin on the senate floor having to be talked down by Bernie

Says a lot about the political climate that not only were you able to ever forget about something so bizarre, but it’s actually completely understandable!

I still think you’re a conservative, just the kind that wears a Mao t-shirt instead of a Reagan one.

That would make me a tankie. Tankies are super authoritarian and I’m the opposite. That’s one of the things I dislike about Biden, remember?

I tend to occupy a very wide field between European style Social Democrat to Left Libertarian bordering on anarchism, depending on the specific subject.

Always on the “no such thing as inherent authority” end of the axis where Biden’s at the “cops are great” end, though.

Also go look up what astroturfing means

I’m well aware of campaigns disguising themselves as grassroots when in actuality some very rich people are behind it.

Ironically, every campaign of The Senator From MBNA has been more or less astroturfing.

Good point!

hilariously out of your element

Says the one who calls me a

conservative

Dude, can’t you read? I clearly said that Biden’s the lesser evil by far and that the Trump presidency was a catastrophe.

I’m not calling Biden an evil because I think he’s too far left. I’m calling him an evil because he’s way too far right and way too authoritarian. Dude loves cops and the fascist apartheid state Israel, just like Trump does.

No. I was about to refute their misconceptions point by point but decided it wasn’t worth the effort since we’re ostensibly on the same side and nothing I or anyone else can say would convince them.

Same with you, it seems, so unless you actually have something to add, I suggest you take your conclusion jumping elsewhere.

I agree, but must say I’m pretty disappointed that you didn’t use the time a GOP candidate literally body slammed a reporter and STILL got elected as your example of someone actually getting slammed…

You’re discounting the many actual communists that are also actual idiots.

Idiots who truly believe in communism, but also think that the fascist Russian government and the equally repressive Chinese one are that.

Once again proving the old adage that every accusation from the fascists is a confession, in Russia too.

I meant that his ELECTION prospects are worse, in part BECAUSE life in general is better and many have forgotten just how awful it used to be.

It’s much easier to get elected on “we know he’s not the most exciting candidate, but at least he’s better than the one ruining your life right now” than on “we know he’s been underwhelming but at least he hasn’t been catastrophic like the one who used to ruin your life”

Actually, European fascism started in the early 20s the first time around too, with the Italian National Fascist Party founded in November 1921 and Mussolini becoming Prime minister a little under a year later.

I’m sure everything’s gonna be fine this time around, though! 😬

It’s what plants crave!

You obviously have a lot more faith in the rationality of voters than I do, in spite of the whole gestures at entire world thing.

In stead of pointing out details, I’m just gonna hope that your faith will be rewarded in a little under 11 months and wish you a nice day.

That fucking amazing! 😮🤣 Gotta love Letterkenny 🥰

I was actually quoting Bo Burnham’s equally hilarious Country Song though 😁
