True.

Biden 100% supported militarizing cops. Same with Obama, even after Ferguson.

A butt plug is a gift that keeps on giving.

At my work we call the ‘granny browser’.

No, just practical.

I was one of the scant few in the US who opposed war in fall of 2001, and one of the first to refuse to stand up for the national anthem, which at the Mizzou/Texas game that fall got you about a dozen death threats from your fellow fans.

Turns out, history proved I was right not to believe the bullshit that the Dubya admin was telling us, and the people like yourself who bought it were not only wrong, but you put us into such a mountain of debt that the US will never recover.

He literally subsidized and reduced the cost of insurance

Only temporarily. In reality what he did was implement a Republican health care system that only promises access if you can absorb the price gouging, and he had the power to nationalize our health care system.

I don’t give a fuck about Osama. Two-plus decades of forever war and tens of trillions of dollars weren’t worth it, and that’s particularly true in light of the cuts to the social safety net in the US that have been occurring since Clinton. Further, it doesn’t matter who started the forever wars, because Obama made the affirmative choice to adopt them as his policy.

Sadly, it seems like the ‘good genetics’ he claims to have really are pretty good.

what are they going to do, invade the United States?

You say that as if the US hasn’t regularly had its ass kicked in nearly every war since WWII.

Maybe Colombia can’t invade, but history would indicate that they can probably make the US pay.

Well, Mr. Veteran, welcome to my world.

I voted for Barack Obama with a ton of hope, thinking there’s be massive change and, seeing as how he had a supermajority for a time, we’d get everything he promised.

All we got was more war, more torture/fascism, and more expensive health care. Even when Ferguson gave him a perfect excuse for more federal oversight over police, he gave them more tanks. When Sandy Hook gave him a perfect excuse to push for gun control, all he offered were thoughts and prayers.

At least now I know that my vote doesn’t matter for shit outside of my local community. (And you should 100% vote in every single local election.) If your candidate of choice is a Democrat or a Republican, they are probably lying to you. (Though Kamala Harris saying publicly that she wouldn’t change anything Biden had done was a rare moment of truth, I think.)

And judging by the number of voters who just stayed home in 2024 and 2025, seems like I’m not the only one who’s figured out how pointless voting has become.

I love this.

Also love this comments section.

Barf

And not the good version from Spaceballs.

I appreciate that info too. Thank you.

Oh, true, but back then game companies would sell you those single disks you needed. My copy of Baldur’s Gate 2 was missing one that I was able to replace for a few bucks.

In hindsight, I kinda miss the awesome customer service that used to exist.

Interesting. I hadn’t heard that. Thank you for sharing.

Yup. I immediately thought of Libya when it happened, but I’m a bernie bro and most of the people I discuss politics with still deify Barack Obama, so they hadn’t considered that.

What’s interesting for me is the last 20 or so years of hearing people talk about how Iran or NK or whoever should never have nuclear weapons because, you know, their leaders may just be crazy enough to use them. (When historically nukes have proven to be the best deterrent against the belligerent aggression of major world powers.)

And here in the US, we’re on our third admin in a row run by someone with evident, public mental illness and travels with an arsenal of nukes at his fingertips.

The world has a breaking point where they won’t put up with the US’ shit anymore, and we may find out what that is in 2026.

I have fond memories of Windows XP working well.

Do not have fond memories of the multi-dvd game installations, but I still have my library of physical games. :)

This, 1000%.

And pretending that fascism, nazism, and terrorist ideologies were “just an opinion”, as if we’re deciding whether or not ketchup or mustard is better.

Deport every fucking fascist, and screw the free speech absolutism that has day care providers in Minnesota being terrorized right now, or people being disappeared by ICE in major US cities, or unilateral state-sponsored terrorist actions from Donald’s regime.

I suppose that depends on whether or not you consider the wars against the indigenous people here in North America actual wars.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Every country pretty much needs to have a nuke now.

The Dems, in their infinite wisdom, will learn nothing from Mamdani. (Assuming Mamdani actually tries to do what he promised of course. We learned from Obama that it’s never a given.)

They’re going to find their Joe Rogan, their Elon Musk, and they’re going to pretend that the way back to power is to just be really fucking mean to trans people.
