    he sounds like an edgy teenager and he’s in control of billions in tax money. I miss a world without xitter.

    Any time you see a politician ranting about DEI, replace it in your mind with the n-word. That’s what they’re really saying. No, it doesn’t matter that people of any race can use it; Republicans have spent the past 6 decades cementing the idea of public projects and vilified racial minorities being inherently linked.

      N-word bike lane doesn’t make any sense unless there’s a separate Whites bike lane…and as much as these fucks would love to bring back Jim Crow and segregation, I really don’t see them putting in a bike lane just for the whites, let alone one for the blacks.

      They’ll put in a special lane for rollin’ coal on the interstate before they do that.

        That’s what the entire second half of my comment was about. Public transit isn’t segregated by law either, but the unashamed racists will tell you they don’t take it because it’s for black people. Atlanta’s metro service, MARTA, has been pejoratively called ‘moving Africans rapidly through Atlanta’ since before a lot of people on here were born. They incite racial hatred and then rhetorically link social programs and racial minorities to make racists more okay with having programs that benefit them cut. This is why food stamps went from one of the most supported to one of the most vilified, politicized welfare programs.

    I just redirected $1.73 billion in USDOT grants away from Biden-era DEI pet projects

    To where? The war?

      It’s what some McKinsey guy, who will sadly be president some day, thought (so profoundly prematurely and presumptuously) that we stupid rubes could use, and more importantly, would actually give a shit to use, suddenly, to talk about this McKinsey guy that we all love.

      Because, you know, all we know are words like boot and edge. We have never even heard if IPA or a dictionary or anything more than one-syllable words.

      You just know this douchebag workshopped the shit out of his own name’s ‘idiot-proof’ pronunciation for like, 400 hours per year of his like 70,000 hrs + overtime + over-overtime per year at McManageTheWorld Inc (And also totally ruin it, see the book When McKinsey Comes to Town)

        Yeah McKinsey is shit.

        But wtf is this shit. Are you ok, dude? You think he workshopped his last name? And what he decided on was “Buttigieg”? What?

        Yeah but like, what’s the joke supposed to be? It is embarrassingly childish, but usually the name calling actually makes sense at least.

        “Boot edge edge” is just nonsense. Like cool, you thought of similar sounding words.

        Like preschool level shit.

      petro-masculinity

      That’s a new term for me, thanks. Been seeing a lot of that recently, and I had a thought: my EV and solar panels aren’t just about the environment, they’re independence. I can make a kilowatt-hour with stuff I have at home. I cannot make a gallon of gasoline with stuff I have at home.

      Are people allowed to pit Truck Nuts on their EVs?

      Also Pretro Masculinity describes exactly why I could not handle watching Landman. Because that show was basically that mindset distilled into TV. Frankly, everything by Taylor Sheridan kind of falls into that bucket.

    I’ve come to the conclusion that most of the Twitter Trump Parrots have absolutely no idea what most of their daily hate words even mean.
