The dumbest people in the country are now running things.
It's because of the wealth. You don't have to be smart to have money.
Greed is a whole other beast.

How the fuck is the left losing to literal insane people and morons. How the fuck are there DOZENS, if not hundreds, of people sitting in the highest positions of our government who believe 1000% in actually certifiable conspiracy theories about giants, space lasers, weather machines, chem trails, microchips vaccines, 5G mind control/Covid generation, and virgins blood drinking rituals... and yet we are still debating the democrats based on high brow merit.
I fucking hate these people, but I really hate all of the mother fucking morons and degenerates that helped put them into these positions more. And that includes all of you dumbasses that just didnt vote for Kamala whether willfully or apathetically. I have no love for the woman either, but come the fuck on. Look what the fuck you have done. I'm so tired of pretending that any of this shit is abnormal and temporary and will be reigned in. There is no end in sight, and seems only likely to get way worse. Fuck all of you shortsighted, idiotic and hateful assholes. You did this and now we all suffer because of it.
It's because you won't run for political office.
It's that lack of action.
Oh, we all agree with your words. It's not about consensus.
I live in Indiana in a hard red district. If I thought there was even a chance, I'd seriously be considering it. I couldn't even manage to get to city council here though. Half of the local elections dont even have a Dem or independent running because there is no chance for it. Your name has an R next to it or you fuck off with your maybe 15 percent.
You know why it’s a hard red district?
Because there’s no one running independent who is even attempting to phone it in.
It’s like that all over, including where I live.
In America the left lost due to two things:
An industrial and computer revolution that redistributed most of the population over two generations. This broke the grassroots movement mechanism the civil rights and later efforts depended on. Internet chat rooms were not a replacement.
Allowing the people in power to count votes and decide who won elections over 30 years
Religious assholes want to rename dinosaur bones as "biblical Giant Human bones".
Because, yes, they are that stupid. Please stop pretending they aren't.
Also: Release Epstein Files. This is not a distraction.
He's from Missouri. There are certain states where they don't spend enough on public education, and it shows.
The Show-Me State. "Show me you're not hiding giant bones."
WARES BIGFOOT
This is what religious colleges teach. Any weird religious bullshit they want. As if it were reality. To kids/young adults in school.
You get an extra 20 points if you said "gawd did it" and why: "cuz' fictional gawds can do anything!"
No really. That's how religious schools grade things. Now for an extra five points, draw a picture of jebus' asshole.

They aren't hiding them... They are in the dinosaur exibit. Under "Dinosaur"
And Rep. Anna Paulina Luna was just on Joe Rogan saying she recently saw proof of non-human UFOs. And that UFOs are from interdimensional beings.
Tbf, they're kinda not actually denying it anymore since the pentagon released the tic tac video (among others) and actually admitted "yeah this is real and we have no fucking clue what it is." They're just called UAPs now instead of UFOs.
And the interdimensional theory isn't a fabrication of her mind, it's one of the leading theories, along with "actual aliens" and "us from the future." It's not even the wildest theory thrown around, some think the crafts themselves are alive, and the biological looking things we call aliens are the drones. Of course, all just theories.
Now does she "have proof" of any of that beyond what the pentagon has already admitted? Likely not, but someone probably does have some more info than we know, she just ain't in the club.
She is a Russian asset. She is not credible.
They are saying weird shit about aliens for other plots, like bombing Seattle and San Francisco and blaming it on aliens coming out of the ocean. The aliens are people. They aren't real. Please, please, let go of the notion that there is any kind of sky daddy coming to save you. There's no god, no religious figure, no celebrity, no politician, no aliens who care about you or us or want to save us. There's just you wanting to take care of you, and yeah it would be a relief to not have to do that and struggle, but that's not happening. Let go of sky daddy.
let go of the notion that there is any kind of sky daddy coming to save you.
And you prefer the equally improbable idea of "we're entirely alone in the universe?" While also discounting the possibility that there could be anything but benevolence (like malevolence, or indifference, even fully autonomous and devoid of the will necessary to ascribe them any of these attributes)?
I prefer the Robert Anton Wilson approach of agnosticism to most things (in life, not just this): "I don't know, and you don't either."
Genuinely, WHAT
I never said aliens in the universe don't exist! Read again! I never gave any statement on the existence of life outside this planet, or of aliens as a scientific concept.
I am saying this specific "spaceship" coming for us that contains "aliens", the entire idea of these "aliens" MAGA and billionaire fascists are talking about, is NOT real. THOSE aliens are fake. THOSE people are genocidal liars. That's why they are the only ones talking about it.
Alright then:
Genuinely, WHAT
I never said what she said was the absolute truth! Read again! I never gave any statement on this specific "spaceship" coming for us that contains "aliens" that MAGA and billionaire fascists are talking about.
Sorry to "chopped and screwed" your comment, but same same. I never said this bitch was some alien ambassador, I said you can't entirely discount the existence of UAPs anymore like people have been since (well, actually before, but) 1947.
Go project your political bullshit on someone else, this conversation is about the potential existence of UAPs. And they're NOT the only ones talking about it.
I said you can’t entirely discount the existence of UAPs anymore like people have been since (well, actually before, but) 1947.
I AM NOT DOING THAT, that's a strawman! That's my point.
Rep Luna and all the GOP are LIARS working for a foreign government, this is substantially supported with evidence. You cannot take their word in good faith at all. The lies about the "aliens" coming are lies.
Whether OTHERS in the alien community are ALSO liars is another conversation. This conversation was never about proving if UAPs exist or existed lol, read again, it is about whether this administration is acting in good faith about these claims (answer: absolutely not).
This entire thread started off political - look at the title of the OP, genius. Look at the person cited (Rep Luna). If you don't like politics, don't go into a political thread and reference a politician.
And your strawman is that I support some specific lady I've never heard of so I guess we're at a stalemate. Was this fun for you, or?..
Where did I say that?
I said quite clearly and specifically that she is lying along w other MAGA about these specific aliens. Your original claim was that her theories were plausible because they've been talked about by others - I say, no, and further, nothing she says is reliable because she is literally a mouthpiece for Putin. Everything she says is propaganda. If you don't know who she is and blindly ran interference for her talking points, that's on you.
Just like how Candace Owens will bitch about carbon dating and isotope dating and will go into the weeds about it to make it seem like dinosaurs weren't real and never existed. These people will co-opt information to make their points seem valid when the whole thing was an elaborate lie to begin with. She is lying.
Tbf, they're kinda not actually denying it anymore since the pentagon released the tic tac video (among others) and actually admitted "yeah this is real and we have no fucking clue what it is." They're just called UAPs now instead of UFOs.
And the interdimensional theory isn't a fabrication of her mind, it's one of the leading theories, along with "actual aliens" and "us from the future."

Now does she "have proof" of any of that beyond what the pentagon has already admitted? Likely not, but someone probably does have some more info than we know, she just ain't in the club.
This is what you replied to. Please point to where I said "she's 100% right and I want to have her babies" or whatever fucking bullshit you think I said. If it's the part where I said "she didn't invent the idea that they're interdimensional" then thanks for playing please try again.
Kindly huff your own farts somewhere else, will you?
Again making up fake stuff - I never claimed you said that. Iirc that's the 3rd time you've made up a false narrative in this comment chain.
I said she is unreliable and the comment you wrote did not mention that at all (because you didn't know who she was). That you then had to make up a bunch of fake arguments is a you thing and weird of you. Could've just said, "yeah she is unreliable," and moved on. Instead you invented random shit to argue about. Go take some b vitamins.
And I really didn't need to know about your fart kink.
Please, please, let go of the notion that there is any kind of sky daddy coming to save you. There's no god, no religious figure, no celebrity, no politician, no aliens who care about you or us or want to save us. There's just you wanting to take care of you, and yeah it would be a relief to not have to do that and struggle, but that's not happening. Let go of sky daddy.
You literally pleaded with me to "give up the sky daddy." Come the fuck on dude. Quit pretending you weren't attempting to be a dick.
There just isn't, lol is this news to you?
HEY!
SHUT UP!
^Let_him_go_spend_40_months_looking_for_it^
Y'ALL, SHUT THE FUCK UP!
Can we also ask him to keep an eye out for info about the Egyptian Tribe who settled the Grand Canyon while he's looking around?
Surely he means figurative giants, as in "standing on the shoulders of giants", right?
Right?
They're gonna make the Ark Museum grifters the new curators arent they.
Nephilim? Like Diablo III nephilim? Fucking weirdo
Have they read a description of an angel ever? They're like flaming wheels made of eyes and shit, I'm pretty sure we would have insane stories of part human part wagon wheel motherfuckers wandering about.
Just a heads up about the biblically accurate angels meme, the word for eyes also translates to lights. It's more fun to pretend that it's eyes but they were just describing their DBZ auras.
It could also be used for either or technically both but even ignoring that they're usually all wings or all wheels.
Everyone those are frost giants! Praise Odin! We should name a day after him. Maybe in the middle of the week.
I assume heffalumps and woozles are next on the list?
Hide it to what end?
They're Christo-Fascists, so the obvious answer is "to deny God." That's what it all boils down to. That's the only possible end it could ever serve and their base will devour it.
Okay, but the thing is, if there's evidence of a God what good would it do to pretend it doesn't exist? It's not that Atheists don't want there to be a God, but there's just this overwhelming proof..... It's that they sincerely don't think there's one.
I know I'd be a lot happier if an all-knowing all-powerful all-loving God existed, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
To these people, God clearly exists.
It's so evident, I mean, just look around! How could you possibly not believe...? Unless... Unless you hate Him and just wanna sin and rebel against him like the Devil! That's it! You're working for the Devil and/or you're possessed and/or you hate God! So you cover it up so people won't believe in Him, and you're confusing their minds so they die without salvation and go to hell!
It's an insane rationalization to make sense of how and why anybody would ever not believe what is so clearly plain as day to them. To entertain the notion that there is legitimacy to non-belief or even disbelief means entertaining the possibility that their dearly held beliefs are incorrect.
So they must concoct an answer that leads to willful disbelief, and reject all claims of non-belief, save for those who haven't heard of Christ at all. And, because they're paranoid, the reason cannot be innocent, they must assume malice to feed their delusion and their persecution complex.

It does make sense considering every pastor in the South is somehow utterly convinced that those not in his congregation haven't heard the good news.
One time a Jehova's Witness tried to convert me by slowly explaining the concept of God like it was this completely alien concept.
I do not want to be an atheist, I wish God was as self evident as these people claim. Eternal life in Paradise, knowing my deceased loved ones are just waiting to show me around the greatest resort in the omniverse because my own ticket is just a heart beat away.
However physicialism as depressing and unsatisfying as it is seems to be the way things work whether I like it or not. And believe you me. I don't like it.
I truly wish the Christians were right and behind the scenes is an all powerful being who genuinely loves me and wants to forgive me of all I've done wrong.
But if he's out there I cannot find him.
I get it. It's an understandable desire, that there's somehow more to this and a point to our suffering. Be careful with the Witnesses though. If you're grieving lost loved ones, they'll pick up on it and try to leverage that to swindle you in. I truly believe most religious people mean well, but the Watch Tower Society (the people behind the JW's) are incredibly predatory and outright teach their followers to leverage people's grief if they pick up on it.
