  • You shall find your answers if you follow the path of power, which in time will lead into the Forest of Money, and after many days shall lead into the Heart of Dissension. All of it found in the Realm of Mockery.

    For you see, many of the Republican leaders aren’t stupid. They are quite smart. However, they collectively have very similar character traits:

    1. Propensity for hatred
    2. Superhuman ability to project
    3. Stupendously fragile ego
    4. Thirst for power not for, just against
    5. Diligence against learning
    6. Frightened to challenge their own beliefs
    7. Terror of ostracisation
    8. Desire to fit in

    They hate so strongly that they refuse to understand that the “values” they have are projections of their own ego in their thirst for power. This desire for authority is never to help others, it’s to stomp on those who challenge their fragile beliefs lest they get questioned too hard and are kicked from the many mini cults they subscribe to. Don’t believe me? Play “I’m an Imaginary Republican in 2025!”

    "This goes against…! -> “OBAMA…” -> [insert personal attack] -> “My constituents could never…” -> “In 1847…” -> covers ears “LA LA LA” -> Other holdout Republicans begin voting yes on destroying the Universe and all who live within it -> Votes “Yes” trying to be the last holdout because his colleagues know what he’s doing and salty because they know his base probably loved it








  • It’s fine to ask your team to bear the burden with appropriate compensation on a timeline of hiring to build out a longer, more sustained work week. Do it right and you’ll even gain respect, just gotta follow-thru and be open and honest about the difficulties, while acknowledging and working with your team. Then also be present consistently during this transition phase and either help if you can, or stay out of the way if you can’t.

    Problem is we know this isn’t how it’ll go down.







  • “Genocide Joe”. This cycle the only people who called him that were individuals who wouldn’t vote for him. Typically single issue Gaza voters. That and what you’ve said makes me believe you either abstained from voting, or voted third party, maybe even voted Trump though that is less likely.

    If I’m right then you are part of the problem. In situations like this last election, the status quo, which has shown it will budge and move at least a bit, is much better than a party who has literally been recorded saying incredibly malicious and evil things, nevermind what Trump has claimed. This is a worst case scenario. It’s a valley where incredible change can happen in either direction and voters like you are a direct cause of this. Just look at how you repeated the same tired arguments three times in your replies. Ones you’ve probably repeated a hundred times, “Don’t vote for Genocide Joe”.


  • Okay, at the risk of being censored: You’re actually being stupid.

    We do NOT support the current Democrats, nor the party, nor their way of doing things. We supported trying to make sure Trump did not get a second term by standing beside the only candidate(s) that had a chance because there wasn’t anyone else. So stop for a second and think because it’s clear you’re a single issue voter: You can’t stop repeating the same faulty freaking logic.

    Then is not now.

    Then does not mean we supported them.

    We wanted a better world. Days where we don’t have to worry so much. We support Gaza and Ukraine.

    If this and much, much more means supporting the opponent of a would-be dictator, then we fucking do so. That’s the difference. WE SAW THE BIGGER PICTURE and did what we had to do.

    It was what had to be done. The Dems fucked up their messaging. However, people like you chose to fuck our home and possibly the world to greater and lesser degrees because you stand so damned fucking stalwart it’s like trying to convince a brick wall to fall over with kind words of encouragement. If I live through these next four years I hope to be a part of the team that writes the history books. If I am I’ll make sure to cite people like you, @MisterScruffy , for your contribution towards tyranny and dictatorship.

    And for the record: Yes, I’m pissed. Not at you, you’re dumb. At what brought us to this point.



  • You sure aren’t living up to that name with comments like that.

    Look, it wasn’t about Biden or Harris or Obama or whomever else you want to project your shitty little excuses on. This cycle was about stopping a then would-be dictator. We were trying to do right by the world. Not by you. Not by the MAGA cultists. Not by Gaza or Ukraine alone. For everyone through stopping someone who had made it clear he, and through the agreement and support of the GOP, would do worse.

    Then you single issue idiotic disappointments wouldn’t wake the fuck up. Yes, the Dems fucked up. Harris started strong and some snob Left probably ancient “strategist” convinced her to shift gears and she toned it down, along with other bad choices. It was shit. You know what I can die knowing I did?

    Not voting someone who might actually be fucking evil BACK into the Office of the Biggest God Damn Chair we have. So kiss my ass, Schwdinehund, at least we tried to stop what’s coming.



  • I’m trying to figure out why you’re being downvoted. It’s possible I’m ignorant. However, it was my understanding that for the average individual in the U.S. we do have some of the lowest tax-to-GDP in the world. This is, of course, offset by drastic cost-of-living increases making any percentage of a tax increase an actual and substantial barrier. That said, any tax increase should come out of the top 10%. Everyone else has been paying the price for far too long.
