    It’s like they specifically trained to use the most vapid, empty words possible. “try to legislate and maybe we can find a common ground in order to get something done pee pee poo poo” fuck you give me healthcare.

      Imagine Jefferies is giving a press conference in his local district. ICE has set things up so while he’s bloviating - right down the street on the street they’re going to violently arrest an 80 something woman and charge her with assault when she’s leaving her favorite restuarant. ICE goes ahead with their plan and it works better than they could have ever hoped for. The chaos unfolds within so many seconds.

      Everybody is shocked and disgusted. Jefferies stops talking but he has no idea what to do or what to say. He comes across as an unfeeling if not evil automaton.

      -–

      The problem with the joke is I got stuck. I can’t make a parody of what comes next because I too have no idea what Jefferies would do or what say. Whatever it would be - it’s 100% the wrong thing. The best I got is that an aide rushes up to him and whispers hints in his ear so he can seem to be a normal person with real human emotions.

    trump-moist: offhandedly makes a remark about doing something he was obviously never going to do

    libbing-out: Um, actually, that’s TANKIE. We need to find REAL solutions like expediting racism, increasing misgendering, and all the real bipartisan, common ground solutions, that will help the American people (read: frothing chuds and bluemaga liberals)

    Trump supporters believe sight unseen that housing prices and groceries and all that other shit has gone down and it’s because they got rid of all the illegals. Same way the Blue Magas during Biden believed that the economy had been saved because people like Hakim Jeffries told them it had been and showed them a contextless graph.

    The Soviet Union is said to have “hypernormalized” in its final decades. The United States, in its bourgeois decadence, has done it twice.
