Do we really want that smarmy insufferable no talent shrew to be press secretary insider for 3.7 hours before being fired by a tangerine incel and his crooked brain V Chip?

Idiocracy isn't supposed to be an instruction manual, but apparently conservatives are already that fucking dumb and we're stuck in this car with them falling off the cliff.

I have no idea how Americans can stand being represented like this. It's one long continuous series of insults heaped upon injury.

Many of us can't and have been working hard to try and change it. Unfortunately, we didn't spend our money on enough guns and ammo to nuke a country and aren't backed by more wealth than the gdp of some nations.

I dare say France has - once again - recently demonstrated that you don't necessarily need either of those things.

[–] mushroommunk@lemmy.today 13 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

And once again, comparing France to America is a dumb take ignoring major differences in basically everything about the countries.

You know what? I agree. There really is no point in comparing the two.

Yeah, France actually has a sense of self worth among the populace.

This is noise. Ignore it and focus on bigger things.
