POLITICS: what have you done for us lately?

[comesect2.0]

any of yall have family who supports this guy? people who are over 60 who clap at tv screens and cry and shit?....I have one family member left, was over at their place during this address...now I have no family.
from the tid bit I heard sounded like he was addressing some hot new skirt to manage something on her first day reassuring all will be fine, In a ''pass one over on ya'' tone of voice, same ass promises....only thing that stuck out before I left wiping the blood from my ear canals was funding the military, while isolating ourselves & passively humping the winged zeitgeist of manifest destiny.

Clicked on the link hoping it would be for higher-quality demos of old The Syle pedals than this:



(just kidding, I knew what I was getting into. But had to post that because... uh... stuff... and things...)

The whole part about increasing our nuclear arsenal and then it cut to the military people, was pure comedic gold. You could see what they really thought so easily, half of them had a thousand yard stare.

Fucking hilarious. The exact opposite of Arsenio Hall's dog pound.

Interesting article and another good reason to ditch the two-party system:

Love revolution- a revolution of love! (chorus)
Let me understand humanity today:
Trouble in focus- look the other way!
Babies groomed in a womb of dope,
Mothers struggle for a grain of hope.
I don't need to go to church or school:
Love and understanding understate all rules;
Priorities are disorganized- how long before we realize?
Love revolution- a revolution of love! (chorus)
Will there be a day politicians tell the truth?
Their TV smiles are so slick and smooth;
People on the streets don't own TV's,
How can you reach them through the poverty?
Missiles and bombs spray through space,
Dusting off the human race...
So many need help, all you presidents-
Can you stretch your budget with this sentiment?
Love revolution, a revolution of love! (chorus)
The issues of injustice surrounded me,
While I was searching for a pure melody;
I've seen enough, and I found one truth:
Love's just dying to be shared by you...
Love revolution, a revolution of love. (chorus)

"House Speaker Paul Ryan deleted a tweet Saturday touting the GOP tax overhaul after critics called him out for appearing out of touch with the reality of low-income individuals' financial situations. The tweet shared the story of a secretary who, according to a report by the Associated Press, was "pleasantly surprised her pay went up $1.50 a week." "A secretary at a public high school in Lancaster, PA, said she was pleasantly surprised her pay went up $1.50 a week ... she said [that] will more than cover her Costco membership for the year," Ryan tweeted with a link to the full article."

A secretary gets $1.50 a week, and Ryan's fundraising committee received about $474,000 in campaign contributions from Charles Koch and his wife, and another $500,000 from 5 other rich donors for doing their bidding. Maybe he's just taunting us now.

That's pretty good.

it's going to be so fucking dope when paul ryan dies

[Bassist_Diver]

Paul Ryan is obviously a cuckold who gets off to watching an orangutan fuck his country.

[Gone Fission]

Ryan is also gleefully gearing up for selling cuts to Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare. Why? Because a) it's what he and his fellow psychopaths dearly desire and b) the reverse-Robin Hood tax cuts have created a huge revenue hole that requires a change in policy other than the tax policy that created the hole.

Standard Reagan-ism. Same as ever.

[Chankgeez]

Can we somehow replace Paul Ryan with ryan summit?

[Gone Fission]

That's change I can believe in.

[dubkitty]

he's got my vote. Summit/Supreme 2020!
