It certainly feels like we’re treated as peasants like they are in those movies where the king and royalty just treat everyone beneath them like shit. We’re just rabble to be mocked, fodder for the peerage’s disposal. Except you know, unlike real life, in the movie the bad guys get it in the end.

He's RIGHT! It's a SMALL Price to Pay!
-People with KAMALA = HIGH PRICES signs in Their Yard!
Ah, the old "nation of whiners" trope. Always a solid midterm closing argument.
from the fetid mouth of one of the whiniest of whiners
Vance can suck a shitty but hair
Vance can smoke a fat bowl of shitty butt hair.
He is shitty pubehair-bowl bongwater anthropomorphized.
Vote the fucking MAGA weasels out of office. Release the damn Epstein Files and end the stupid war against Iran.
Little things like the escalating costs of food, clothing & shelter, the basic necessities of life, those little things?
None of you in this thread get it. Did any of you even say thank you?
We should make him thank his firing squad.
Wait, isn't this the guy who couldn't gripe about the little things well, and screwed it up?
Yes, yes it is.
like pedophilia?
What about all the big things? Things like the fact that Trump is a pedophile?
"The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all."
Though GK Chesterton was himself a conservative and a bit of a tool, once again he's the man for the quote. Vance and his handlers fear the bill for their crimes. I have little faith they'll pay it, but they're desperate to prevent that risk entirely.

Americans dying of a thousand paper cuts.
JD: "Quit whining. They're just tiny cuts. You haven't even said thank you for the paper. No, you can't have a bandaid."
Love it. Keep saying this dumb shit JD.
Like his and his boss's dicks?
He's gonna wish we left it at griping.
Trouble is, almost zero of those successes are for the benefit of the public, and almmost all only benefit Trump and his class.
When was the last time that JD Vance went hungry because he couldn't afford food?
"Can't argue with the little things. It's the little things that make up life" - Hank Scorpio, 1996
I bleach the sky Every night Loaded on wrong And further from right Spinning around Two howling moons 'Cause they're always there Whatever I do
The river is loaded I've been there today Took it some questions She does me again I'd die in your arms If you were dead too Here comes a lie We will always be true
Going up When coming down Scratch away
It's the little things that kill Tearing at my brains again The little things that kill It's the little things that kill Tearing at my brains again The little things that kill
Bigger you give Bigger you get We're boss at denial But best at forget Cupboard is empty We really need food Summer is winter And you always knew
Going up When coming down Scratch away
It's the little things that kill Tearing at my brains again The little things that kill It's the little things that kill Tearing at my brains again The little things that kill
I touch your mouth My will is food Addicted to love I'm addicted to bullshit I kill you once I kill you again We're starving and crude Welcome my friends to
The little things that kill Tearing at my brains again The little things that kill It's the little things that kill Tearing at my brains again The little things that kill
Is that what his wife told him?
Cool. Now if the Murc's Law Media would just take up things like this and endlessly repeat them.
What "JD" here is doing is deeply tone-deaf, for real. The moral scolds of the Murc's Law Media kept getting the vapors anytime anyone even thought to be associated with the Biden administration would point out the good aspects of the economy in 2024...I guess we'll see if the tone police talk about the Republicans nearly as much as they did for Democrats.
"Let's not bicker and argue about who killed who. This is supposed to be a happy occasion!"
It's for the greater good!
