I'm ok with the fascism, reduction of our rights, human trafficking, pedophilia, rape, forced deportations, economic wars against our allies, bombing of civilians, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and bigotry against anyone that is not a cis het white man, but I draw a line at an American President cursing on Easter Sunday.

I really wish Republicans would draw a line literally anywhere. But they keep explaining away every unhinged thing their leader says.

If a Democratic president said any of these things, Fox News would initiate pearl-clutching immediately, and Republican lawmakers would start impeachment proceedings the next day.

Depending on the Republican in question, but I'd argue they draw plenty lines regularly, though most of them are a powdery white...

Youve touched on something to keep in mind right now. What are the dems doing to stop this? Is there a real opposition movement in the so called progressive party yet?

[–] nickiwest@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I'm sure Schumer has drafted a strongly-worded letter.

If anyone can fuck up the response to this, it's the Dems.

There does seem to be a small contingent of Democratic senators who are looking to remove Schumer from his leadership role. I hope they succeed.

I'm ok with alll of that, I just can't stand having to pay a total of $5 more to fill up a tank of gas. It's finally personally affecting me, so it's a problem!!!

Would you care for a chocolate-like egg shaped product in these trying times?

[–] IratePirate@feddit.org 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

A chocolate Easter Allah is precisely what we needed to defuse the situation!

Well, it's chocolate-like. Legally distinct from real chocolate.
