For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.

Couldn't help myself with this one. Please feel free to mod if inappropriate for the community; no hard feeling will be had.

Highly appropriate

"We put a million songs on this because...it's fun as shit"

I took some broadcast journalism electives in college and interned at a local station and can confirm: Adding funny music and sarcastic chryons to otherwise boring B-roll is, indeed, fun as shit.

He's not the worst republican, let that sink in.

He may not be the worst, but was by far the one of biggest enablers of the maga bs.

I prefer to believe the constitution beat him up

anyone got the footage? the cc link doesn't work for me.

[–] RiceManatee@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

It's just a 4 minute daily show segment on it and is padded with ads, probably available on YouTube.

The longest living turtle lived until 192 years old, so young mitch here is only about halfway through his life by my math...

No one over 70 should be allowed to work in any public position. Work if you want, but not in any capacity of public functions.

Cognitive decline is significant after 70 (being generous). How the fuck are public interests best served by people who came to adulthood half a century ago, whose bodies are piloted by decaying mush on autopilot?

70? Great, you're out.

For context:

Trump = 78

Biden = 82

Those freezing episodes are rough to watch.

In the end, the ragged man comes for us all. And he will not be deterred.

But not all.
