The first impeachment hearing is scheduled for Thursday, two days before the government shuts down. This is how House Republicans are spending their time, holding some dumbass hearings about how it still counts as a bribe even if no bribe is actually paid so long as we hate the guy. Meanwhile millions of people will lose paychecks, government assistance like fresh food for pregnant mothers and housing assistance, and the overall economy takes a kick in the teeth because of the shutdown. But don't worry America, Republicans are hot on the trail of public enemy number one Hunter Biden so it's definitely all worth it. And to think there are millions of Americans who will look at this cluster fuck and think "yup, I'm going to vote to put Republicans back in charge of Congress since they did such a good job last time".
Fucking wild isn't it? I'm beginning to look at a lot of people I thought were smart in a completely different aspect.
I’m not.
I live semi-rural in Wisconsin. These assholes broadcast how asshole they are with little (and often zero) prompting. It’s been this way since polar politic was the name of the game, so many many years now.
If anything I’m looking at society as a failed experiment at this point. Especially when you talk to any of them at length and they fully support socialist or communist ideals… but still vote red.
I just don’t go out much anymore. It’s easier than dealing with the emotional load.
It's absolutely soul crushing fucking exhausting.
Every new day brings a new level of despicable / cruelness i did not know was possible
