Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. (Politics General)

I mean, TBF you really can’t find anything more American ^TM than mass shootings. Apple pie? Every one got that. Democracy? Rising elsewhere, falling here. Capitalism? Okay you got me there.

But bi-daily mass shootings is a 100% capital U S of A American cultural cornerstone. Look how hard we fight to not prevent them!

Oil price per barrel has fallen below $100. A first since May, and down from something like a $140 high.

Watch as has price doesn’t fall now.

We’re really going to do it. We’re just going to do reefer madness again. And despite years of evidence to the contrary people are just going to stupidly drool and say uh huh uh huh definitely.

Why is she orange.

Normal people don’t look like this.

@Background Pony #33F4
Yeah sure get rid of weed. When most states are more calm with weed now.

@igotnopicks
Sadly it’s probably going to work. These people believe Antifa stormed the capitol despite everyone seeing the footage and the crowd being filled with their people, putting themselves on social media, and them acting according to their own message boards.

If you believed FOX NEWS, you’d think the murder rate would be through the fucking roof in Colorado, Canada, Holland… and yet.

Then again if you believe FOX NEWS you probably still believe the tooth fairy is real.

Sadly it’s not gonna work for Arizona. Who now has marijuana that you can buy.

Lindsay Graham and Rudy Giuliani have been subpoenaed for their efforts in the Big Lie. Lady Lindsay specifically for his efforts to get votes outright thrown out.

And yes he only wanted the black votes tossed.

In the latest “Putin dun goofed” news, Canada has become the first nation to officially accept Finland and Sweden’s candidacy into NATO.

Joe Rogan is a lot of things. A few bad, a lot really dumb. But he has admitted that not only has he refused Trump’s many private requests to appear on his podcast but that he will never allow him on, citing him as an “existential threat to our democracy”.

So at least he has that going for him.

@igotnopicks
Call me a doomer if you want, I’ll cop to it. But that might be only temporary. These people don’t care about reality or logic only power. And if getting rid of weed is a means to it, good bye weed and anything else in the way of their fucked up theocratic vision.

@Dustcan
Good job Canada.

@Background Pony #33F4
His thesis seems to be that there are a lot of young men in America who shouldn’t have guns.

He’s so close to getting it.

@Dustcan
A broken clock is correct twice a day after all (though that might be giving the asshole WAY too much credit).

Remember when ex-users of this thread tried to fearmonger about how The Left would persecute other people under the guise of thoughtcrime if they were in power?

Ha. Ha. Ha.

@Dustcan
Gas prices tend to fall slower than they rise. They shoot up like a rocket and fall like a feather.

@Violet Rose in The Rain
Even I can see how easily abused that would be.

@Violet Rose in The Rain
What a baby.

If they fall at all. If gas prices had any legit tie to the price of crude, I’d be paying barely half as much to fill my tank.

Big Oil can make all the excuses they please, but the whole world knows they’re lying through their teeth to justify this gouging.

Hey, we got any Brits here? How you guys holding up? ‘Cause it sounds like Boris Johnson’s government is disintegrating in real time. At some point there has to be a no-confidence vote or a snap election or something, right? He can’t just run around doing all the Cabinet jobs himself.

@Background Human
We already tried to vote him out. It failed.

And Borus said a while ago he hopes to still be in charge by the time 2030 comes around too, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he DOES try to do all the jobs by himself

This boil and his Tory schmucks will keep clinging on as long as they can.

@Background Pony #1F81
@Terton
Lordy. And even if they do somehow convince him to go away, are there any other Tories who want the job? Pretty sure the only reason he took over after May was because everyone else was like, “well, someone has to be Prime Minister”.

I don’t know if Labour’s less of a dumpster fire now that Corbyn’s gone, but a general election might not even fix things. You guys could end up with one of those tenuous “anyone but Johnson” coalitions, like the “anyone but Netanyahu” coalition in Israel, and look how well that worked.
