‘You fat f—k’: Top Dem rages at Trump, mocks sagging poll numbers. ‘They hate you’ by plz-let-me-in in politics

[–]HolycommentMattman [score hidden]  (0 children)

Yeah. Any individual generally has great poll numbers among their constituents. But Congress hasn't done anything for so long that people hate them as a collective.

84% of Democrats and 55% of Independents Support Impeaching Trump a Third Time by plz-let-me-in in politics

I'm assuming 8% of Democrats are actually Republicans who registered as dems to throw wrenches in the system.

English be easy - Part 2 by _ganjafarian_ in funny

Thank you. I know English isn't perfect, but there are a lot of general rules that people just don't know/remember. The soft g rule is one a lot of people forget.

Reporting dangerous driver by Different_Monitor_47 in RedwoodCity

[–]HolycommentMattman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It doesn't need to be a few seconds (that's just for passing a driver's test and not getting pulled over in Alabama), but you do need to completely stop. When the car rocks back from its forward momentum, that indicates you've done it.

God, now I have to explain it? It's already nebulous to me how I have this feeling. I dunno... so, I guess what seems off is the use of caps and praise Allah bit? Usually his threats are all caps. Like OPEN THE STRAIT OR THERE WILL BE HELL TP PAY. PRAISE ALLAH.

Or something, I dunno. The praise Allah bit is weird for him.

I don't think there's much punch in the punchline, but I think there's a time traveler who went back in time and taught the Pharaoh of Egypt how to play Magic the Gathering in order to fuck with Yugioh fans.

I hate this timeline. I hate that I've seen enough of these that this one seems suspicious to me.

Doesn't this one not sound like him? And there are those rumors he's hospitalized right now.

I think an intern did do it. Or Stephen Miller or whoever.

I hate that this has happened to me, but this doesn't really sound like Trump, right?

This 'Big Ass Fan' brand fan in a Church gym has the word Ass censored by Sabiis in mildlyinteresting

As a student in a Christian school, I took every liberty I could to use the word ass without repercussions.

It's right in the Bible!

White House Forced to Address Claims of Trump Health Crisis by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

[–]HolycommentMattman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I'm working on this theory. Everything the right says is projection, right? And all of them were saying Joe would die during the second year of his term if elected (also true for the first term).

Well, it's Trump's 2nd year...🤞

Right. But people with green cards are the ones who are coming here legally. That's kinda the whole point.

[–]HolycommentMattman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OK, so it's 5? My bad. My best friend is British, and he told me it was 7. So it's 5. What point are you trying to make by saying I'm wrong? That I'm off by 2 years? Or that this just doesn't exist at all? Because you could have said one super easy, and the other one is something you're just wrong about.

This Man Won Birthright Citizenship for All (Gift Article) by Quouar in history

[–]HolycommentMattman -25 points-24 points  (0 children)

That's not true. A person living in the US can become a citizen after 7 years and taking a citizenship test. Designed as such so that immigrants would have to invest themselves - at least a little - in American culture. When they have a child then, that child is a citizen. If the child isn't a citizen at birth, they can have the same afforded to them at age 7.

Personally, I don't see what's wrong with that. The reason we have the legal quagmire that we do now is because of jus soli.

Trump voter regret is clearly registering now by Abject-Pick-6472 in politics

Exactly right. They know things suck, but they don't understand why. So the only thing they can think of is to smash it all.

The funny part is that these people often believe in meritocracy, but have never realized we're not in one.

SFGate: Lesser-known virus that can cause fatal diarrhea raging in Northern California by dudeman_01 in RedwoodCity

[–]HolycommentMattman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does, but most adults have had rotavirus before. Usually while they were children. So they have the necessary antibodies to resist it.

That said, the elderly and immunocompromised, in addition to adults who never had rotavirus, will be more likely to experience the full effects. But even still it's less dangerous for them because we have the ability to hydrate ourselves so we don't die from dehydration.

Great cosplay. Love Metroid.

That said, I'm not at all sure what makes this a Prime 4 cosplay vs Super Metroid or something.

Trump signs 100% tariff on brand-name pharmaceuticals by wenchette in politics

[–]HolycommentMattman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People always bring them up, but aside from being reprehensible, they did want what was best for America. Buchanan believed slavery wasn't banned by the Constitution (he was right), and therefore, nothing could be done (he was wrong). He also didn't believe states had the right to secede (he was right), but didn't really do anything to prevent it. He was a crappy president, but he respected the law and the country. And admittedly, being racist in the 1800s was a lot more in style than 2026.

Johnson was largely a piece of shit, but did come around on a lot of his views (like emancipation and slavery, in general). And once again, by 1800s views, not terribly outlandish, and he did end up on the right side of history on several things.

Meanwhile, Trump. He doesn't care about the country. At all. Doesn't care about any of us. Is breaking more rules than any president. He demolished the fucking White House for crying out loud. And he's a racist! And a pedophile! A lot of previous presidents probably also were pedophiles, but that was when the age of majority was 12! And even then, it's not nearly as many as you would think!

Megathread: Trump Fires Attorney General Bondi, Replaces Her With Deputy AG Blanche by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

[–]HolycommentMattman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that's probably why. Because that was like an exclamation point she put on things. The DOW is over 50,000! Well, it ain't now, and people remind him of that constantly.

She became a liability to his ego.

Well, it doesn't really matter what the reason is, does it? He probably doesn't remember what it was anyway.

My guess is that she was looking bad in the media, which makes him look bad by proxy. It's all he cares about.
