Yeah, it was bad when Bush was reelected. But even then, I felt people were treating politics more like a team sport than actually chosing the most qualified leader. But now I feel like it’s gone from “rooting for me team” to full on cult mode. My neighbor across the street has 6 Trump signs on her house. That’s not normal behavior.
Also be prepared for the national debt and deficit to no longer matter. Classic GOP playbook.
Case in point:
I guess New Mexico is alright…
I’ve been looking for silver linings. The two I’ve found are:
Trump probably won’t live to see the end of his term. Dude is old and not exactly healthy. One could argue Vance taking his place would be worse, but I’m choosing to focus on the positives here.
Trump winning very likely prevented a civil war. I know a ton of people who had been stocking up on supplies and weapons. Again, one could argue giving these people the keys to the kingdom probably wasn’t the smartest move, but again I’m trying to focus on the positives.
True. Trump does not hold a monopoly on suck.
While voting for this, I was shocked that the ban on gay marriage passed on 2006. Reminded me that even though we’ve had some shithead leaders over the years, at least we’re making some progress.
Remember when gas was cheap because the entire country ground to a halt due to Trump mismanaging COVID? Those sure were the days…
If only they had stuck with it, who would have thought Hitler would come back in style again?

Stay strong people! We Most of us* survived the last Trump presidency, we got this.
God dammit, I hate that I have to upvote this. At least I’ll get my complementary handjob…
Like others have said, Red Rocks is a big part of it, but Colorado is also a bit of an island of civilization in the western part of the country. We’re surrounded by Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Utah - which probably aren’t the states you think of first when you think of budding metropolises. So lots of events are held in Colorado that attract people from neighboring states.
Also, Denver International Airport is one of the busiest airports in the world since we’re a huge connection hub to the rest of the country. So it’s very easy to travel here.
He’s the guy known for threatening to rape boys on the internet.
That’ll have to do.
And yet he still managed to lose 25% of what he had.
On a somewhat related note, Crime Scene Cleaner is such an oddly relaxing, thought a bit gruesome, game.
I realize this is out of context, but what possible other context could there be? Lol
They made that joke on Weekend Update later in the show.
Hey, quit shitting on my silver lining. I choose to believe he’ll die soon due to Macdonald’s induced heart failure and you can’t take that hope away from me!
