Stupid liberal idea of the day

Stupid idea: getting too excited about the inauguration and setting a really low bar.

The perfect optics on Inauguration Day

SE Cupp: Did that really just happen?
“The last four years have tattooed a trauma on so many Americans, and it won’t fade overnight. There’s healing to do, and Biden has a long journey ahead.”
Van Jones:
"But let’s be clear: we just hit the biggest reset button in history. "
“the day has felt refreshingly normal”

A reset button to a President who was vice-President in the years leading up to Trump’s victory. Let’s reset and do the same shit. Normal was terrible for a lot of people.

Other people saying “great I don’t have to worry about politics any more”, fuck yes you do, that attitude is how we got here.

If Democrats let Biden just be not Trump and better than Trump we are all fucked.

You’re totally winning this thread, man. Just keep those random “Biden - how much does that guy suck, amirite?” posts coming.

Clearly never been in a car where the only soundrack is your daughter’s best friend’s playlist of Only Imagine Dragons Songs.

I liked Radioactive (I also liked This Is How Your Remind Me, funnily enough) .

Then every other song of theirs turned out to be the same fucking “epic” shit. You know what all their subsequent songs remind me of? The rival boy a capella group from Pitch Perfect.

@Manwich, stupid poster, or stupidest poster?

Even in the pit, don’t leave strange links with no clues to what it is. Do not Repeat!
What Exit?

If someone is going to state that Democrats stole the election, I guess a thread started by Clothahump is a good enough place for it.

hmm much too consider hear

You’ve succeeded as a parent when your child has successfully pissed you off with their music.

Democrats sending Biden into the White House:

You fell. Hi! Today some bad things happened. One bad thing was a train got crashed in New jersey. Want to see? People won’t be late for work, though, because the governor lady said, “I’m sending in more trains.” Wait for me!strong text

The “wait for me” kills me. Last four years, some bad things happened. We’re sending more moderates!

Jesus Christ, Manwich. Who pushed the thaw button on your suspended animation unit?

It’s not a bad analogy though and not without precedent.

JFK (losing badly in Vietnam): “I’m sending in more defoliants

“Only you can prevent a forest”

What was so terrible about it?

I may regret asking such an open-ended question, but I’m somewhat serious about it. Things weren’t perfect in 2016, but the cure (Trump) was worse than the disease (?).

It’s like in 2016 the bathroom plumbing was not in tip top shape, so half your household decided to shit on the kitchen floor for the next 4 years.

Now that someone is back in charge who is going to look into repairing the toilet, those same people are complaining about how smelly the kitchen is.

If you’re trying to reverse the direction of a large ship – or even an automobile – there comes a point where you’re headed in neither direction. To berate the helmsman because he’s not instantly headed west when you were going east accomplishes nothing.

Keep your eye on the compass and make sure the needle keeps turning.

That assumes your goal is to “reverse the direction of the ship” and not to “find any excuse, no matter how tenuous or ludicrous, to criticize the helmsman”.

This morning, I read an email newsletter griping “Today is the 3rd day that Biden has chosen not to guarantee healthcare for all.” :roll_eyes: Manwich, was that you?

While at the same time locking the steering wheel.

Onion political comic levels here with Lady Liberty herself reminding everyone how excited they need to be about nothing happening.

J Kimmel pure liberality dose:

Let’s spell it out slowly for the deliberately obtuse:

When.
People.
Say.
They’re.
Glad.
That
Nothing’s.
Happening.
They.
Don’t.
Mean.
That.
Literally.

They.
Know.
Things.
Like.
Reentering.
Paris.
Accords.
And.
WHO.
And.
Reinstating.
DACA.
Are.
Things.
Happening.

They.
Want.
Such.
Things.
To.
Happen.

They.
Mean.
Nothing.
Unexpected.
Or
Foolish.
Or.
Arbitrary.

To them yeah, nothing to them.
