Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. (Politics General)

Yes yes, but tell me lad, can you breath or eat the internet? Or live in it?
 
Mayhap you should consider the myriad of other ways in which we are being screwed over. Such as pollution, housing, and debt.
 
Spread your outrage out a little more evenly.

Virginia Republicans are worried that VA dems will use the very mechanisms that the Reps set up to gerrymander the state more blue.
 
Once again, it was the Republicans that loosened the laws and regulations in VA that made redistricting more fair. So, they have no one to blame but themselves.

Trump threatens to cut social safety net programs like Medicare or Social Security et al if he wins a second term.
 
Historically this has sank political campaigns across the board so dead that decades later Republicans still shy away from mentioning their real feelings towards these programs. Also worth mentioning is that red states disproportionately benefit from these programs more than blue.
 
So now come November we will see if the Republican voter base values their cult leader more than their own well-being.

I mean, for some of them, if it means those services aren’t being drained by them there welfare queens…

I wouldn’t be surprised if people still supported him. He could fuck their mother in front of them and still support him if it meant sticking it to da libruls

In protest, the people of Puerto Rico renamed the street outside the governor’s mansion
 
While not as major as the last wave of protests that forced a successive wave of governors to resign, a new one is flaring up and they are bringing guillotines

During Trump’s trip to Davos he took another swipe at Greta Thunberg. And yes of course he mentioned the TIME magazine cover which he is in no way still salty over, trust him.
 
This is a 72 year old man and president of the most powerful nation in the world.

Oh damn, it’s about to go down there (where did they find one?).

Trump rolls back water-way protections that will impact millions of people’s drinking water
 
On the eve of a study showing that his administration has ignored the buildup of dangerous toxins in the US water system.
 
Face it, all the boot-licking sycophants that voted for him, he doesn’t give a rats ass about you. He and his cronies will poison you to score a quick buck for his buddies. You are nothing but trash to him.

Tulsi Gabbard is now sueing Hillary Clinton for calling her a “Russian asset”.
 
Good.

@Dustcan  
Rip her tits off, Tulsi!

Sadly, people here (And everywhere else) will still defend him for some ungodly reason

What do you all make of the .org domain possibly being sold to Ethos Capital?
 
Is this political?

@Background Pony #9B61
 
Stupidity. They defend him due to stupidity.

@lonewolf  

 
I think they made it

@Zincy  
Considering some of the shit I’ve heard his supporters here say (including one user who appears in these such threads unironically saying that “sjws” are worse then the Nazis), I’m not surprised.

There is one (well several) thing that annoys me about “my side”. If I get called “fancy white” again I’m smashing someones teeth in.
 
I’m German and Irish, and damn proud of it. Do not piss off two of the drunkest, most prone to brawling heritages on earth. I’ll show you some Celtic Thunder.

@Zincy  
Despite typhoon being paranoid, I don’t think you’re being fair here, generally speaking. There may be bigger issues in the real world, but that’s no reason to downsize the Internet problems of freedom being coopted by corporations cornering all venues of profit, when they arise I mean.

@toxicitzi  
I mean, there are problems with internet freedom, but those won’t matter if the world is on fire, people have no place to live, or no money to pay for internet anyway.
