Meanwhile, in things that matter I present to you our US Democrat Congress in action as they flail.
What a crap show. Nothing like trying to pass a bill that no one knows what’s in it or what taxes will “Pay(?)” for it.
Oh, that’s right. It’s free!

I don't think it even rises to the level of troll job if you go in and read the history of the organizaton. I think it's just supposed to be funny. I saw a video of a "rally" and handing out pamphlets, and it was pretty great. I'm not surprised by X-Man's story, though. Some people have a hard time recognizing satire/humor from reality, and who can really blame them in 2021?

Next you are going to tell me that the Arch Baron Cup isn't real.

Some people also have a hard time realizing when someone is f’ing with them. :)

Looked that one up and it’s interesting. If X ever plays them again the teams should play for the soiled Wallymelon.

Well the Washington Post has a different take on the supply chain issues. They think we have been pampered and catered to for decades and we need lower our expectations. Now if they were talking about the Federal government, I could get on board with this since my expectations are already there…

It’s called Managed Decline and WaPo can sit on that noise.

Can’t wait for the next election when Biden runs on the “Lower Your Expectations” slogan.

And watching the Democrats try to govern while they have control of the branches is high comedy. They are victims of their own lunacy. They can’t even blame “Republican Obstructionists”.

This is what you get when you try to foist “woke” iish on people. Idiocy in every direction.

Is anyone else following this McAuliffe/Youngkin race in Virginia? Some Va Democrats staffers dressed up (poorly) as white supremacists with tiki torches and went to a Youngkin rally. Now they're deleting Twitter accounts and denying they had anything to do with it. The stupidity and hilarity of it all has made my Friday afternoon just so much better.
