  1. Fuck yeah fuck yeah lots of dem voters likely to show up in the fall and vote anyway because of this shit even though they are pissed off about other things in general right now.
  2. Fuck you to Clarence Thomas and the GOP
  3. Pro-life abortion amendment currently getting throttled in ruby red Kansas. This is a bad bad sign for GOP prospects in the fall.
  4. Has anyone phone banked or texted for beto? it might be interesting. I just wouldn’t want to call some idiot whose a trumper and have him get in his truck then try to find me so he could shoot me.
  5. I know this doesn’t relate to the senate, but if the pro Abortion side wins tomorrow in deeply red Kansas, that doesn’t bode well for Republicans in purple states in the fall.
  6. Hahahah is this One america fake news?
  7. This spineless pussy tested positive for covid.
  8. Good lord….. is he trying to give us the senate? Would love it if he was trying to take down Moscow Mitch.
  9. Ouch. Sorry to hear that. big pharma causes so much pain and suffering. They get away with all of it too.
  10. Roe will be this years “kavanaugh” effect for the dems. It should save Kelly and Warnock. Maybe Cortez masto.
  11. It’s well documented that both the car industry and gas industry have used the pandemic as an excuse to drive prices up. It’s all corporate greed playing out in front of our eyes. I never thought we’d see 5 dollars a gallon in Texas, but it nearly happened where I live. the supply chain issues is also a people issue in my opinion. You can’t remove the 80 million people worldwide who died to covid without some things hitting a snag.
  12. The unemployment rate is predicted to be 4 or 4.1% on the high end by the end of 2023. Possibly 2024. I could be mixing up my years. By comparison, I remember in 2012 the unemployment rate was 7.8%.
  13. Too many people want to fly and not enough workers to serve them.
  14. Airlines are cancelling flights due to excess demand. Companies are recording exceedingly high profits. Unemployment is 3.6%. I personally think a lot of it is fear mongering crap. I went to town yesterday and saw at least 5-10 help wanted signs while I was there again.
  15. GOP is trying to manufacture a recession with fear mongering so they can win at the polls.
  16. Covid sucks, but most of the folks over 65 should’ve retired already. Working until you’re 80 or until you die is nuts in my opinion.
  17. We saw how much bitching Grover norquist and dickheads like him complained about laid off / furloughed workers receiving unemployment benefits in 2020 while they simultaneously sucked up all the government money they could to bail out their companies or firms. The republicans were wrong again ( as usual), giving unemployment to workers didn’t cause the labor shortage. It’s the fact that we lost 1 million people to covid, have 100,00 folks suffering from long covid, and the aforementioned demographic changes which favor workers.
  18. Demographics should still mitigate some of the damage. The big problem with 2008-2015 was you had the biggest generation at the time ( baby boomers) entrenched in their careers and things were compounded by the bush administration actually encouraging companies to outsource jobs by giving them a tax break to do it before the Great Recession hit. The millennials which are now the biggest generation, were trying to break into the work force while all of this shit was going down. To make matters worse, baby boomers didn’t retire and clutched their jobs like members of the senate hold onto a senate seat. We had 8% unemployment and 15%+ under employment. Gen Z is starting to enter the work force and they’re much smaller than both millennials and the baby boomers. I just don’t see how unemployment and underemployment could be nearly as bad this time around.
  19. Queue republicans going on all talk shows under the sun and saying the same thing “we’re in a recession! Hunker down! Invest in gold!”. The Q2 GDP fell by 0.9% and the first quarter GDP was low mainly because of supply chain issues. Republicans always resort to fear mongering because they have nothing to offer. If they take control of both chambers of congress, things will devolve into a horror show of pointless investigations into hunter biden and the 2020 election that is 110% legitimate. You want to know what a recession is really like? Get back to me when this recession is like 2009 when I went into a group interview vying with 40 other people for ONE call center job paying $9 an hour. That was what a real recession was like. Weakest recession ever, when 5 businesses within 1 mile of me all have signs saying you can start work the same day. I went to Ross the other day and they had a sign saying "16 and 17 year olds welcome to apply!" LOL!! repubs are a joke. We won’t go back to that because of all the baby boomers retiring. Workers have more power now.
  20. Just shows how truly shitty republicans are. Their motto should be party over country. I roll my eyes when they talk about being the party of family values, the party of law and order, and the party of the military. By actively rooting for a recession ( which would inflict pain and suffering on many of those Republican voters who live in a trailer, work at war mart, and vote R because owning the libs is fun) they prove that they truly don’t give a shit about this country or the people in it.
  21. Probably 60-70% of Fox News watchers either have a mullet or are blue haired.
  22. I was thinking about not voting this year and I always vote and vote democrat, but after the Supreme Court came out with that non-sense, I’ll just show up and vote straight ticket dem as a fuck you to the GOP. I hope it’s a similar boost to dems in the senate as the kavanaugh hearings were to republicans in 2018.
  23. Just stumbled upon this thread and can’t read it with a straight face. I needed a good laugh. It’s so great to see a channel that focuses 110% of their effort on conspiracy theories and “owning the libs” to get their much needed come uppance.
