    And MAGAts are currently clutching their pearls over Crocketts ‘Hot Wheels’ comment… Fucking traitorous clowns.

    Nope. This isn’t the time for this. Grow up, people sensitive to the use of rude words. We have fascists to fight, and we need every single person we can get to fight them.

    But hey, let’s all get the knives out for Jasmine Crockett calling the dipshit in Texas “Hot Wheels.”

    If course it’s unsurprising. The man has a very clear pattern of surrounding himself with people who he believes will do and think exactly the way he wants, and then cutting ties with them anytime they deviate from his expectations.

      Given the amount of media literacy the right in general and Elon in particular has, he’d probably watch Tropic Thunder and think the point was “It’s okay to do blackface.”

    This is why these retards are in power now. There is enough damage being done to our country to have things to legitimately be upset about. Tangible things like all the kids dying of measles, the dismantling of our research institutions, and gambling our future prosperity away by making it known to our allies that America’s word means nothing and starting retarded trade wars.

    No one gives a shit if some Karen is upset about about people calling each other retards. The word has to much utility to be policed out of use. This is why we need Xbox live lobbies to return, let people grow thick skin because Ive been called everything in the urban dictionary.

    I may be jaded but I had an undergrad get upset with me once when they asked me to look at some bacterial colonies they were growing on agar plates. I looked at the plates and said they look retarded, as in their growth was retarded because she used minimum media instead of rich media by accident. No I didn’t get in trouble with any admins.

      That’s retarded.
