I'm pretty sure no one wants Sean Hannity's meat.

[-] GladiusB@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Not even Sean Hannity

[-] dhork@lemmy.world 55 points 7 months ago

How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?

[-] casmael@lemm.ee 8 points 7 months ago

You! Yes you! Behind the bike stands!

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 11 points 7 months ago

He was cruisin’ for a bruisin’.

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 51 points 7 months ago

Fox is hysterical, so they project hysteria on to others.

[-] HoustonHenry@lemmy.world 27 points 7 months ago

Manufactured outrage is the calling card of the GOP and their supporters

[-] Anise@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I always have to talk my folks down from shit they heard on Fox and Newsmax. They have called me frantically panicking that:

-There is a new gender neutral bathroom in addition to the M and F rooms at their gym!

"So you haven't been inconvenienced in any way?"

" They are going to take the women's room away! I don't want to change next to a MAN!"

"... Are they taking the women's room away and forcing you into the gender neutral one?"

" well no..."

"So you haven't been inconvenienced in any way. This sounds fine. Why are you calling me again?"

-The government is going to force them to switch to electric cars and they don't have a convenient outdoor outlet to charge a car!

"Did you get a letter that they are going to seize your car?"

"No not yet but they are going to do it soon!"

"Okay, well that sounds like it probably isn't imminent, why dont we wait to see of you get a letter and then we can react then; worst case we take it to court. Also, someday you will have to replace your old car and an electric one might be a good option for you guys. Dad is getting too old to get under the car to change oil and you know he's too stubborn to take it to a shop. You don't need a lot of range, you only go to church, the grocery store, and your craft club. There are incentives to put in a charger anyway."

My dad has a heart condition and these fuckers are driving both of them to an early grave for cheap political points. Fuck these fear profiteers.

I would support taking away gas stoves and replacing them with modern induction stoves, because it would reduce childhood asthma 12% and probably help a lot of people improve their air quality inside their house, reduce the incidence of gas leaks, etc.

But Biden factually does not want to do that.

I do. But Biden doesn't.

[-] AA5B@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I’d settle for no new gas hookups. Why are we allowing people to waste money on new infrastructure for something we just need to get rid of? You know they’ll just come whining for handouts in ten years when they realize they ve wasted their money. Why allow people to shortsightedly think they’re saving a little up front at the expense of more breathing issues later?

10,000 transfem people: "works for me"

[-] jeffw@lemmy.world 16 points 7 months ago

Was waiting for someone to make this joke for 11 hours lol

[-] elbarto777@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

Out of the loop. What did I miss?

[-] Soulg@sh.itjust.works 15 points 7 months ago

Trans women welcome Biden taking their meat

[-] elbarto777@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

Oh lol! Quite obvious in hindsight!

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 21 points 7 months ago

And their stupid audience will swallow it whole.

[-] jeffw@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

Swallow Hannity's meat, or?

[-] Uranium3006@kbin.social 15 points 7 months ago

we have to push through oil billionare led faux culture wars. fuck gas appliances and fuck the animal ag industry

[-] Jaysyn@kbin.social 15 points 7 months ago

Desperate strawman arguments is all they have.

[-] MyNamesNotRobert@lemmynsfw.com 14 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Yeah well the other side also wants to take away our household appliances and our meat, and also everything else by enabling corporations to squeeze everyone dry even more than they already are.

[-] dragontangram88@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

Everyone should look at the greenhouse emissions from oil refineries and power plants before they really start taking things away from individuals. We all play a part in reducing global warming. Eating less meat and using less energy and natural resources can help, of course, but let’s address the big polluters of carbon dioxide and methane. The two biggest greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide and methane. California’s biggest polluter is some refinery in Los Angeles. Is eating less meat going to put an end to that? I would hope that Biden would have a more reasonable solution than what this guy is suggesting.

[-] jeffw@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

I mean, yeah, eating less meat is the biggest thing an individual can do. It’s something like skipping a shower every day for a week is the same as eating a quarter pounder. And that’s just water, doesn’t even get into GHGs

[-] dragontangram88@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

No one should ever be forced to skip a shower, especially not for a week. That’s so unsanitary.

I'm not doing anything with it anyways, so he can have it.

[-] Xanis@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

Whoaa hey wait, Joe, buddy, could you take away the appliances in places I'm looking at to rent? Maaaybe lower that rent comparably? I'd unga bunga my way right into some pre-2012s cost of living happily.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
