He's been South Park for years. It turns out that for white middle-class male Democrats, that's what they want to hear: Muslim hate, transgender hate, and black people hate.

"Cimbal, a loyal Republican, wants people to think about how to curb illegal immigration and protect Second Amendment gun ownership rights, but she’s mainly drawn to Trump because she thinks his plain talk can get things done. Her goal is to restore a time “when there wasn’t as much animosity toward each other, when everything wasn’t about race and people just got along.”"

I must have missed that day in history class where we learned about the era of racial harmony in America...

Yes. Please. Let's go down this path.

"Hillary, anonymously leaked records from a planned parenthood hack indicate that you have had three dozen abortions in your life. Can you verify if the number of abortions you've had in your life is indeed this high? Or is the number somewhat lower?"

"Bernie Sanders, the intelligence records leaked to pastebin indicate that you spent much of your congressional career under investigation for giving confidential government documents to the KGB, FSK and PRC. Can you comment on those investigations, and if your socialist beliefs made you more eager to share those documents with our enemies for free?"

Interviewer fucks up and asks borderline racist and profoundly stupid question, is called out on it, has to apologize. Welp, poo poo, seal is broken guys. Everyone in news is now Chuck Johnson. Go hog wild.

Yeah, all I get from that article is a lot of "I want things to be like I thought they were like when I was a child and didn't know any better." Like, aren't all the idiots in that article calling out the years when they were children? Joy McCoy, 31, says the Reagan administration is when America was "great"; Trivett, 70, says it was "before Vietnam"; Martin,59, says it was the 1970s.

So basically it's really just about making all the bad stuff you became aware of once you hit adulthood go away, great job, Trump voters.

quote:

On Sunday, former House Speaker and public crier John Boehner said on CNN’s “State of the Union” that he used “Catholic guilt” to persuade fellow Catholic Paul Ryan to run for speaker after he stepped down. Boehner told Ryan:

“This isn’t about what you want to do. It’s about what God wants you to do. And God has told me, he wants you to.”

quote:

The now-former speaker also said he isn't planning a presidential run of his own.

"I've never been afflicted with this disease," Boehner said.

The Indiana Family and Social Services Administration announced last month that beginning in 2015, it would no longer request a waiver to the federal work requirement for certain people who use the SNAP program. Up to 65,000 single Hoosiers could lose food stamp benefits unless they are working 20 hours a week or attending job training.
Speaking to Fox News on Tuesday, Pence argued that 50,000 people had joined the Indiana workforce since 2008 so it was time to return to a "core principle" of welfare reform. [...]

"I'm someone that believes there's nothing more ennobling to a person than a job," Pence insisted. "And to make sure that able-bodied adults without dependants at home know that here in the state of Indiana, we want to partner with them in their success."

D&D would die, as would every other subforum except TFR. Something Awful would become Something Armed, and become entirely about gunchat. Guerilla nonwhite posters roam from thread to thread, posting racially ambiguous photos of themselves and setting off destructive, multipage firestorms. LeJackal rules as the undisputed warlord of petty gun related minutiae. Pet Island holds out as a small minority of cat obsessives feverishly ignores the outside world, paying off the juntas with red panda gifs. The future is bright.

Interesting piece of news came through my feed this morning: If domestic production of oil continues, Saudi Arabia's cash reserves will be completely depleted in five years.



I still find it staggering how much the USA has reduced its dependence on foreign oil since 9/11.

This is something I haven't paid much attention to and don't know much about. What happened? Are we producing that much more domestically? Is demand down dramatically? All of the above? Something else?
