You know who else did a "Big Delete"?

Hey now, it huwts der widdle feewings if you call them Nazis!

 

[Handyman]

what is the deal with mace? Just shows a nice boob job doesn’t make a girl happy

She is no longer the "Sane Republican Du Jour" like she was during Biden so she is stuck in constant pivot. Plus she is a female Republican and she is starting to really see what that means.

Plus, she is a See You Next Tuesday...

Can't wait for the Israel-Gaza war to start up again.

Will that be before or after the GOP kills entitlements?

GOP zooms in on Social Security cuts to fund Trump’s tax scam

Republican lawmakers are explicitly saying they are looking into cutting Social Security to pay for President Donald Trump's tax cuts—touching the third rail of politics as they seek to pass Dear ...

My personal favorite part...

Republican Sen. Mike Lee of Utah, also went even further in a post on X, saying that, "Social Security [is] a ripoff for most Americans compared to essentially any legitimate retirement investment."

Leaving out the fact that most retirement investments die because of GOP decision making...what about all the Boomers who are on SS now with no retirement? Oh yeah they can work til they die I forgot!

He is unaware of how many pension funds have gone bankrupt? What a ****head. I hate these people. All of them/

Cut all of it. End the whole fucking program. Medicare, too.

Pain and suffering is the only way whiny ass Boomtards will ever learn that their votes have consequences.

I hate that I agree with this.

You know we often quote Carlin around here...but shout out to H.L. Menken!

Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.

On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

In this world of sin and sorrow there is always something to be thankful for; as for me, I rejoice that I am not a Republican.

Legend: A lie that has attained the dignity of age.

No one in this world, so far as I know - and I have searched the records for years, and employed agents to help me - has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people.

This should be in the Leopards Eating Faces thread but I will put it here out of laziness: https://www.reddit.com/r/LeopardsAt...ossible_trumpmade_catastrophe_for_state_that/

As a bourbon drinker this makes me sad on some level (might need to hit up Costco and stock up) but the joy of Kentucky distillers getting screwed by Trump before, saved by Biden only to vote to be screwed over again is too delicious

Apparently Dump got booed at the Super Bowl but Fox overlaid canned cheers in the audio.

International broadcasts clearly have audible boos.

You really shouldn't hate it

My verdict for the state that gave us 40 years of Bitch McConnell and loves a good "JESUS OR HELL" mailbox sign:

Judge halts NIH funding cuts for 22 states after California sues Trump admin https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-02-10/california-sues-to-stop-nih-indirect-funding-cuts-to-uc-csu-usc-stanford “No statute allows NIH to unilaterally alter all current grants retroactively. Indeed...

Now I know what you are thinking...22 states? But that is less than half of the US! How can this be? They are the only ones that sued. Here is the list:

Mass
Michigan
Illinois
Arizona
California
Connecticut
Colorado
Delaware
Hawaii
Maine
Maryland
Minnesota
New Jersey
New York
Nevada
New Mexico
North Carolina
Oregon
Rhode Island
Vermont
Washington
Wisconsin

This won't last mind you...but it is fun to see that at least some states (mostly Blue) were smart enough to try and fight and not whine like children hoping for a carveout. (like say Alabama)

Explains why he left early. So glad the NFL bowed to him by getting rid of "End Racism" in the end zones. I phucking hate the NFL and Goodell most of all. He is a full on POS scumbag.

Might need a Costco run next week...better stock up on some medium priced bottles! Hey maybe I can sell them later to desperate alcoholics!

Wow it's like they tried that 60 years ago and it didn't work and you had to read a book once in your life to know that.

I don’t get it the flags are so similar. Figured this would be no problem.

 

[Handyman]

Last time it didn't workout so well for the Palestinians or the (Trans)Jordanians. Maybe try Lebanon I am sure that will work
