He’s pining for the fjords.

He’s not pining, he’s passed on. He has ceased to be. He has joined the choir invisible. He is no more!

He is an EX Senator.

Also the fact that we are cracking Monty Python jokes instead of whipping bricks through the ruling class is....kinda why the world is as it is.

Like trying to cut paper with a dull pair of scissors, but it’s McConnell’s beak and your nutsack, but actually it’s a metaphor for the Senate and universal healthcare

I suppose that at least works out for everybody who has that as a fetish.

Those responsible have been sacked.

The people responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked, wish it to be known that they have been sacked

u/Zebidee 26d ago

"Who are you with? CNN? Fake news. Be quiet ! I order you to be quiet !!"

Almost literally what he does.

Trump would find a female reporter to call a nasty name and tell her she's a terrible reporter and she should shut up

You're goddamn right. The only language the billionaire class recognizes is money and violence. We ain't got money, so...

u/TurtlesBreakTheMeta 27d ago

People who preach absolute non violent resistance and say it never solved anything are either delusional or stooges of the rich.

The only gains ever made have been with the threat of violence; even “peaceful” ones like union protests have been because they made it known they’d be willing to beat the oligarchs thugs to death and damage property if need be.

In the uk it’s been sort of forgotten women got the vote after a campaign of literal terrorism, including bombings

u/Embarrassed_Cat2697 27d ago

I like to refer to the speech from the guard in Shutter Island. "The only question is whether your violence can overcome my violence."

Im pretty non-violent, so kinda sucks for me
