Quest. Monty Python and Quest for the Holy Grail.

The key comment is his last sentence.

Na… that’s a convenient coincidence. Funding an effective FEMA would make the Biden administration look good. This is the same bullshit that they pulled when they killed the border deal.

How do you say she’s in track to lose. All the data I’ve seen makes me optimistic.

Holy shit… totally not the response I expected either.

But to my point, I know a handful of career civil servants and they’re pretty passionate about their roles and try to do a good job… unlike fucking lunatics like Canon who are supposed to be apolitical but politics dictate every action they take…

Eh… large swaths of government try to be efficient… it just keeps tripping over its own feet and all the red tape lying around.

Seems to me like the majority of this nonsense is more typical of the portion of the government that employs by appointment.

They have…. That’s why there is a usual trend of bolder actions taken by second term presidents because they’re no longer eligible for candidacy for President.

That’s also why we can’t fuck about with a second Trump term.

That’s beside the point though.

Eh… Biden did the same thing several months ago and ran a Dark Brandon ad on their website during a Republican primary debate that they streamed.

The fact of the matter is they are a media outlet that tons of people watch for better or worse. And it’s not like they weren’t going to fill the airtime otherwise with some other advertisements.

Folding in some messaging for Harris-Walz doesn’t seem like a bad use of their campaign funds. Especially because the potential gains are so important. Undecided independents are super important, but removing folks from his base will help provide a mandate from the electorate.

Maybe it’s an integrity thing? Maybe he felt like having a financial interest in different companies might bias him in an unethical way?

Legit… the idea that he’d ever be caught on camera standing in front of a sign that had anyone else’s name besides his own or his running mate’s is just brain dead branding.

This almost as bad as that international competition where when the Kazakh person won gold in their event, the organizers played the national anthem from Borat instead of the real national anthem of Kazakhstan…

They were pissed…

You…

You get the joke, right?

I’d say in this very specific context, it’s appropriate.

Unfortunately this kind of thing is political posturing of the purest kind. It almost certainly won’t go anywhere, but Dingus McFuckwit gets to say he held the VP accountable.

I don’t know what I was talking about. I must have been replying to the wrong comment. I was talking about Kelly in AZ. I knew Shapiro was governor of Pennsylvania… but good to know where he is in his term. Thanks for the reply.

When is his senate term up?

The late great George Carlin said it best

Yeah… you’re right. I’m an exhausted idiot who is too tired to think straight.

Why would they resign and present an undue opportunity for the far right to come to power again?

None of them strike me as parody…. Plenty of folks behave as though they believe this stuff heartily. Many of them are in Milwaukee right now.
