manchin has his actual uses. he votes party line on like 98% of the time and has voted for every judge. plus him loving off means we lose that plus Chuds fully control senate. sinema can gently caress off forever though. both are lovely and bad but manchin can be sorta negotiated with because he is a known Blue dog rear end in a top hat who has his wants and poo poo. sinema is just a dumb sociopath.

Some UK news US correspondent had a picture of themselves with their wall of lovely Trump books they'd had to read in the previous 4 years. It looked soul destroying.

By the end they were probably reading a handful of pages per book, but still soul destroying.

Yeah no that's not really a thing anymore, Congresspeople have their own fundraisers and PACs and poo poo and raise their own money. The caucus leader may give a favoured candidate some money from the war chest if they are struggling (that's why Pelosi is so powerful, she bought a lot of loyalty with Silicon Valley money), but Manchin and Sinema are doing quite well from all chud donors.

I don't think there's anything wrong with the books about Trump per se; it's just that everyone knows what a tremendous rear end in a top hat he is, and any and all important info from those books already leaked, so you wouldn't really be learning anything. Especially since Trump is so goddamn dumb every single day which kind of made the books out-of-date the moment they were published. It would be like buying books on what video cards are the best from 3 years ago.

Also publishers give away press copes to build up hype, and journalists tweet the juicy bits out, and you're a moron thinking "wow there must be even more juicy bits!", then you buy and read the book and is like nope, those were literally all the lols.

So I just discovered the existence of this magazine.

It really should have been a sign about how far denialists will go up their own asses, right until they're dead.

Seriously. At least COVID is airborne and you can take every precaution and still catch it, so it's much easier to get. The only way to get HIV is unprotected sex (and usually unprotected anal sex, unless they changed the odds of transfer from infected female to uninfected male through vaginal sex when I wasn't looking), sharing needles, or blood transfers which were pretty much eliminated as a cause by the time this magazine started.

I swear, at this rate, there's going to be a mass suicide event in 20 or so years when some message about not jumping off a cliff to ensure libs aren't owned goes viral and legions of people are going to organize mass lemming-legend replications to do just that. Because it's not enough to deny something, you have to go out of your way to throw it back into people's faces via how you behave.

Haha goddamn cons are just supremely confident they can do whatever they want with no consequences, and they're right.

At least that one guy pushed back against this racist Colonel Sanders-looking piece of poo poo but it literally didn't matter.

"Dude what you're saying is hugely racist, here's why. Why can't you just call it coronavirus, take back your slur, and move on?"
"Thank you, I appreciate your advice."

Just holy poo poo.

edit: What would have been better is if the other guy point blank asked him "What do beans and cornbread have to do with anything?" I mean we and they all know it's because he's trying to deflect his racism, but I'd love to see him squirm while trying to answer it.

With it being a magazine focused on AIDS denialism, yes. They said AIDS didn't exist, and then all the editors died from AIDS, more or less.

Nothing in our world is new. It's the same thing again and again, they just change the paint job. Fauci must just look at history and sigh.

(Guy basically went "Hey maybe we should clean ourselves in between doing stuff like autopsies and childbirths, there might be a connection there between doing stuff like that and early infant death" and since that wasn't what was accepted as fact at the time he was rejected, insulted, and basically driven to a nervous breakdown after which he was thrown into an asylum, where the guards beat him and likely caused his death via an infected wound. Because he just suggested and had some fair evidence that washing your hands meant less babies died.)

Trouble is this is the exact poo poo that anti-vaxxers will point to as justification for their un-scientific beliefs. They huff it hard as hell to make themselves feel like martyrs fighting the AMA, CDC and all the other institutions built on actual evidence based reality. They see no irony in this.

the reason this line of AIDS denialism died out is because everyone who had AIDS and didn't believe in AIDS died of obvious AIDS by about 2005.

One of the things that became very clear as I read the Woodward book is how Woodward is an insider now whose job is primarily myth making. Trump is almost perfect in that he can be portrayed as working by himself surrounded by racist goblins and is in no way a symptom of a larger problem so everyone got to take turns being the hero.

This poo poo sucks, I voted Dem and stuff got a little better, but not enough for me, I'm voting Rep to change things. On and on and on and on.

It’s a symptom of the political spectrum being reduced to a binary choice: “team blue” (center right) or “team red” (fascists). I think there are a lot of Americans that don’t feel particularly well represented by either party but their imaginations are limited to D/R.

So because the system is so corrupt and rotten and most people want real change, we swing wildly between “wave” election years.
