Meanwhile our 2026 roadmap is blown up because they let go of everyone who actually knew anything. 🙄

As a kid, I noticed the price of comic books going up from $0.25 to $0.75. Of course they are $5 to $10 now. 😉
Well, as an American, I can only speak for my lifetime…
Late 60s/Early 70s - Vietnam/Nixon - Pretty fucked up.
Late 70s - Iran hostage crisis - Fucked up.
80s - Reagan/Bush - Iran/Contra - Recession - Iraq War I - Fucked up.
90s - Clinton era was pretty good. Big scandal was a blowjob. People actively talking about blowjobs all the time.
2000s - Bush II, 9/11, Iraq War II, Abu Ghraib, 2008 financial crash - VERY fucked up.
Late 2000s - Obama - Not awful. He should have ended Bush’s drone program, but not awful.
2017-2020 - Trump. Covid. 1,000,000 dead Americans. INCREDIBLY fucked up.
Early 2020s - Biden - Fucked up inflation. Covid weirdness.
Now? (gestures)

Further, every time they put me in a new room, the wall would change color.

Politics is for US Politics, not the French.
As much as I like the reference to Amazing Spider-Man # 50, image posts are not allowed.
Image posts are not allowed. Bonus: [email protected] is for US Politics. What Netanyahu accuses Iran of doing would go in [email protected] not here.

I can’t say what this stream of invective was directed at because they removed their comments, but if they merited the kinds of responses you gave, just report them. Don’t engage.
Needs an engraving stamp reading “Not Legal Currency”.
1797 - Treaty of Tripoli. Unanimously voted on and signed by the 2nd President of the United States, John Adams:
“[t]he Government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion.”[4]

Christo-fascists go “Nuh unh! It’s not in the Arabic text!”
To which the correct answer is “Yes, it’s the ENGLISH version that was voted on and signed by President Adams.”
