    Where has Tim Walz been all my political life. Fuck’s sake, it’s a low bar, but having a Dem on the national stage who isn’t afraid to get a little rough with these dipshits is immensely satisfying after some two decades of “W-we c-can’t say anything m-mean about the fascists…”

      I have been calling for the left wing to do this in Australia for years.

      We will not beat these weirdo dipshits by pretending they aren’t weirdo dipshits.

      Calling them out with direct language at every opportunity is the path to victory.

        Good luck to you and your compatriots. It hasn’t done much in the United States. Trump has been steadily gaining for over a month and now Kamala is sliding, so I’m not sure if calling them weird dipshits does much, but it does feel good.

    Yes, always make fun of Elon Musk! Don’t forget we’re doing that because Elon is a fascist. It’s okay to skip around prance like a dipshit otherwise. Just don’t be a fascist.

    Man I hope Walz and Kamala win in a few weeks, because I really want to be able to listen to this guy call out bullshit for 8 years.

          You can live in your delusional world all you want, but Kamala winning is a bad outcome for the US. You thought J6 was bad? They were caught with their pants down last time. This time they’re fucking prepared for a fight. You’re going to see buttfuckery from the Republicans like we’ve never seen before. Someone else posted a convincing argument for a contingency election whereby Donut Dump loses the popular vote, AND the EC, but the House (led by Putin appointee Mike Johnson) gives the Presidency to Donald anyway.

          And if that doesn’t happen, expect a fuckin onslaught of court cases from the alt-right terrorists. And the ENTIRE TIME Blohard Dunk is going to be SCREAMING to his base about how their country is being stolen from them. And they’ve proven again and again that they don’t care about reality because they’re so transfixed by what he says.

          The constitution is going to be irreparably damaged this election cycle, you can basically count on it.

          A peaceful transfer of power is always the best possible, most sought after outcome. Donnie won’t let it happen though. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if some kind of civil war or huge instability breaks out.

          China and Russia (who have spent decades fomenting anti-US sentiment (for good reasons IMO)) could see this as an opportunity to attack the US while its weakened and the chain of command is not clear. What happens if BRICS pours tons of troops into Israel or Ukraine? Do you think the US is going to let their proxies get steamrolled? No nation can survive a war on too many fronts.

          The whole world could be plunged into chaos. Billions could die.

          Am I going to vote for Kamala? Of course. I don’t let terrorists dictate how I vote. But let’s not kid ourselves that it is all sunshine and rainbows when she wins. Harris winning is a bad time. Trump winning is a fucking nightmare scenario.

            I want to say you’re wrong about that but frankly it’s plausible enough at this point to be scary

            That said, let’s make him have to blatantly try and take it by force, give him no legitimate claim to it. Even if he pulls that, I still think that’s a better outcome than him winning in any capacity.

      Trump supporters love him so much because “he tells it like it is”. I doubt they’re going to love Walz because of that same line of thinking. Oh that’s right, because he doesn’t have the R in front of his name. He’s also not a racist, which is probably why they really love Trump.

        Walz tells it like it is, but unlike with Trump the way it is isn’t hating everyone who isn’t like them, so it’s not okay.

    I believe that dipshit is the best insult. If you call someone a bitch or asshole, it’s like a badge of honor, but dipshit r is kind of emasculating and really captures the whiny middle schooler inside while also sounding like just a silly word.

    I don’t get it.

    There’s so many negative things you can say about Musk, yet you punch at his happy dance? This is low and pathetic.

      at his happy dance?

      You mean the idiotic cavorting of a dipshit who thinks he’s being handed the power to write regulations for his own companies and fuck over the workers who actually produce the value?

        As soon as Kamala said in the debate that Trump can be entirely coerced with flattery and fawning, I picture Elon watching that and jumping up shouting EUREKA!

      The dude claims the Democrats want to end democratic elections, despite Trunk’s literal attempts to overturn a free and fair election, last time, and this time by planting loyalist governors he hopes won’t certify a Democratic win.

      He’s jumping for joy on stage because what he sees is the freedom for himself to do whatever the fuck he wants without being regulated, and you even be given a role in government where he gets to make his own rules.

      Dipshit is a much more relatable summary I think.
