How much slamming will it take to stop the full-tilt fascism train? Are we almost there yet?
Don't forget finger wagging and strongly worded letters
slamming alone is not enough i’m afraid. they also need to “rip” and “jab” them
I'm so tired of Democrats taking "the high road." The high road doesn't fucking exist anymore and y'all are just fucking everyone over. Trump is literally on the road to destroying this country and Democrats are trying to do things "the right way."
Fuck that shit. It doesn't work anymore. They're just accepting the premise of assholes. I hate to say it, but unless they fight back with the same kind of energy than they're fucked. If you try and do shit the right way Trump will just undo everything with a wave of his tiny hands.
Democrats playing chess while republicans are shitting on the board
Apparently that's a valid move, they won
I mean of course, because the game that's actually going on is real life and not chess. If you saw a guy playing chess by himself in the park and a dude runs up and let loose on the board, who won? The guy who just lost twelve and a half pounds or the guy sitting in it saying "hmmm, the Dennis Prager gambit?"
Honestly, it’s almost embarrassing. Democrats continue to fight using Queensberry whilst Trump et al are, again, acting with impunity. They’ve got to smell the coffee and take the gloves off.
Democratic National Committee, don’t just stick to your old tired playbook of telling everyone that Trump is bad and doing the things he said he’d do. It didn’t work last time.
DNC, start immediately telling all Americans why this is wrong, what you will do different with the executive power, and keep up that messaging in a media blitz to win back all the working class voters who didn’t show up last time. Get a plan now for who you want to run on your ticket, and push them into the spotlight to advocate for us with progressive policies that help the working class. I’m a dreamer, but for the love of all things good, please let them be an actual progressive.
“We are the Democratic Party. Democrats are fighting for a better, fairer, and brighter future for every American: rolling up our sleeves, empowering grassroots voters, and organizing everywhere to build a better America.”
Really? Fucking prove it, then! Be the party of brawlers and stop maintaining “decorum”. MAGA is playing dirty because you’re weak and they know you won’t do shit. Fight for the working class like your mission statement alleges.
So tired of backsliding to the right on this tilted table.
Dems serve the same capital as Trump. Never going to control inflation. It's a feature not a bug.
SLAMMED
How do I filter out those stupid meaning ngless words? Under fire, roasted destroyed... I just can't anymore according to headlines Trump should be molecular paste by now.
Everytime I ask a republican what it is that Trump is doing that will help with prices they say 'wait and see!' like he is going to pull some sort of magic trick.
Sounds a lot like "prayers and thoughts". They are a faith based people after all.
Same "Oh there's a plan, it's just a long term one."
I guess that makes sense, afterall, if he de-humanizes enough transpeople all our groceries will become free, that's just logic! /sarcasm
Call him a liar. To his face. To his subordinates. To his mother. To his cousins. Keep calling him a liar until he understands he is the Dishonest Don.
He knows. He doesn’t care.
And neither will his supporters.
“ITS PATRIOTIC TO PAY $12 FOR AN EGG, IT HELPS AMERICA 🇺🇸”
He actually does seem to care, a lot. It's why he always says fake news, if he didn't care about being called a liar, he'd ignroe it entirely. Losing control of the narrative drives him absolutely insane, it's why the whole "weird" thing got him so unhinged.
Reminder: Kamala's plan was to pass anti-price fixing legislation that we're not getting now
But but but I was told kamala was exactly the same!
Can we please fucking stop using slam in headlines already? It got old 2 decades ago.
Just do the same thing they did. Print stickers of Trump saying 'I did this' pointing to high prices of things like eggs.
What's with the fucking eggs, why does everyone focus on fucking eggs. There's more food than God damn eggs for fucks sake
Speak for yourself heathen.
I eat eggs.
I would rather starve than eat something other then eggs.
Meat? Gross. Vegetables? Ick. Sugar? Fuck off.
Eggs. Just eggs.
Just guessing, but eggs are a major staple in the average American diet that don't have a whole lot of comparable alternatives like grain or milk. So when there's a shortage or prices go up, people don't have something to replace it with so it's more apparent that they're missing out on something and that gets attention.
He should be physically slammed to the concrete floor multiple times
Coming through big time on some other day one shit though.
And just to be clear I mean all the bad shit.
Meanwhile all lawmakers had gains in stocks larger than the average Joe. The fuck they care about prices
The con man who sells shoes, NFTs, launched a meme coin and bankrupted a casino was never going to lower prices on anything. Fools got played!
When I read talking points like this, I think about: Who would they convince? I don't think many people honestly believe Democrats had a capable plan to fix these grocery prices in the first month of a Kamala presidency. Yes, Trump over-promised, and unfortunately, that was probably the right tactic.
I'm still not absolving voters for falling for such snake oil though. Sometimes when grandma clicks the "You have a virus" prompt for the 400th time you have to start blaming her.
Actually, the last important bit to me is who exactly is saying this. Recalling from memory, Elizabeth Warren once put forward a suggestion to require that 40% of a company's board be voted in by employees. It's very possible that with a less corrupt, profit-seeking corporate landscape we wouldn't be in this situation. So even more than Kamala she may have credit to blame others for such things.
Does anyone else have "Slam" on their BINGO card? That's my free space.
Too bad "slam" just means some grandstanding in Congress with absolutely 0 changes to the situation. For the amount of money we spend paying various congress-critters to sit in a room kvetching at each other all day, it'd be nice if some of that turned into actionable changes.
If the Democrats want to get some credit fucking do something. As if the election results didn't display this, the average American is not entirely pleased with the Democrats. If they ever want to fill the White House ever again, we better see more than "slamming" happening.
COME ON
AND SLAM
AND WELCOME
TO THE
JAM!
Republicans don't care when there's a Republican in the White House. Then it's just God's will.
