Comment on KISS (2021-01-30 00:46:07)
"Manufactured boy band for teen girls" is about as far off the mark as you can possibly get. I saw them at Annaheim Stadium in '76. They were in the Guinness Book of World Records as the loudest band on earth. Their shows featured fire breathing and puking blood, and they played anthemic hard rock. Ted Nugent was the opener. The crowd was easily 75% male. In the mid/late 70s, you would have been hard pressed to find a 13 year old boy in suburbia without a Kiss poster in their room. You gotta stop confusing adolescent boys with teen girls.

I'm wrong too often to care more about being right than I care about things turning out for the better. This and cancelling the Keystone pipeline are nice first steps and I'm glad to see it. Lots of things about his admin are still making me worry, and four years is a long time, but hey - a reasonably good start. I'm cautiously, well, if not optimistic, them I'm cautiously less cynical :)

But... but.... as with any news that is murky and volatile, it would be wreckless and irresponsible NOT to speculate wildly before all the facts are in! So let's assume it's legit and keep that rage up. Grrr! grrrr! etc.

I'm going to take back my tentative kind words for the Biden admin earlier. If this is true, fuck them all.

Hey, a good step early in his tenure! If he keeps this up, I will happily eat my words, with an extra heaping of shit and ketchup!

What’s it like to have nearly the entire population of the world disagree with you?
They do? Holy shit! I finally know how it feels to be an American!

It's not about Bernie, you turnip! It's about preventing the next (and worse) Trump.

Both parties trip over themselves to fellate banks and Wall Street. Both parties are rabidly opposed to single-payer universal healthcare. Neither party has met a military spending bill it wouldn't stab a baby to get passed. Other than the 4-year freakshow of the recent past, we had decades of nothing but minor cosmetic differences between them. Which, contrary to your "vote Blue or else you get Trump" bullshit, is PRECISELY why Trump was able to happen. Do you really think a venal, corrupt, lying dipshit like that could have won if the status quo was anything but terrible-and-getting-continuously-worse?

This is a lie. Chuck's still alive, it's his career that died 20 years ago.

So criticizing US foreign interventionist policy is bad, or at least the same foreign policy as practiced by Dems. Same for pointing out any similarities between the two parties that, to varying degrees, serve the interests of the wealthy over the needs of ordinary Americans. No, no, it's not decades of failed neoliberalism that relentlessly fucks everyone over with a few wealthy exceptions that led to Trump, it's daring to be critical of the one party that performs woke theatre and does marginally more for the public than the other one. The military industrial complex is good. Doing far too little to prevent an environmental disaster is good, because it is not doing nothing. And don't you DARE criticize giving inadequate crumbs to those in need, you ungrateful fucks, or you'll get nothing. And no matter what, if you don't shut the fuck up and know your place, we'll blame you for the inevitable nihilism and backlash that leads to the next more capable Trump. God fucking help us all.

I'm genuinely confused by this reply. What attitude led to 4 years of Trump?

All well and good - even if the superdooper cool plan is to roll out the vaccine at the same pace as the moron with no plan was already doing. In spite of which, Biden's admin will no doubt take Covid more seriously and slow the loss of life that was snowballing under said moron. And hey, he cancelled keystone right out of the gate, which was a small but welcome step in the right direction. But again, look past your nose. I'm not talking domestically, I'm talking about what the change in president means to those living abroad, especially those that the USA is hostile towards. Anyways, y'all seem to take it quite personally whenever someone critcizes dear leader, regardless of where the criticism comes from or whether it is valid. I thought that was a thing that only the Trump camp did, but I guess it's an American thing.

I know you Americans tend to forget the rest of the world exists, which I suppose is convenient when a president you like orders drone strikes on weddings in the Middle East. But the differences between Trump and Biden are not so stark the farther away you get from your own arseholes. Things looking better domestically and a president that doesn't post mean tweets notwithstanding, we'll see if the rest of the world is going to see any improvements with a new regime in the US. Biden saying he'll remove Yemen's terrorist designation is a good sign, but seeing as the Dems are usually no less hawkish than the GOP, and in fact turn it up a notch more often than not, you'll have to forgive me for being skeptical.
Comment on Ted Cruz is a god damn moran (2021-01-21 21:30:11)
He's not stupid, just evil. And he's playing to the cheap seats with deliberately stupid, Trump-like rhetoric. It'll prolly get him reelected too.
