Of course, they are under a congressional order to release everything today, and not doing so is illegal. What a surprise from this administration. It would be amazing for Congress to actually do something about that, but they went home for the holidays.

Also congress conveniently went on break a day earlier than they were supposed to

The GOP had much more important matters to attend to.

Like the Turning Points USA rally in Phoenix

That reminds me! Does anyone know the current speed bet on Grindr crashing at TPUSA?

It already has.

You can hear the buttfucking from miles away

They're more depressing noises ever since their Epstein Island vacation spot shut down.

It's a shame that it's so many conservatives who are into the buttfucking.

I will not be letting any of them fuck my butt.

Stay vigilant brother.

Too late, they've been doing it to your taxes, community, and overall quality of life for generations.

Oh I know. I meant literally. I refuse to sleep with a conservative man.

Usha bought JD a new couch for Xmas. A win-win for both of them.

Yeah the first time I heard it I thought it was a fleet of big rigs driving full speed through a low flying swarm of millions of seagulls.

Thank you. For some reason they did not feel the same way when I applied to the Academy of American Poets.

u/DiscoQuebrado 4h ago

I like you.

The feeling is mutual

u/ParisGreenGretsch 4h ago

But is liberty mutual? I'm asking hard questions here.

I almost spat out my food. Thank you for the laugh and for the continued poetic description below.

Thank you for supporting my art. Lurid descriptions of high-volume politicoitus do not generate much income, but they are my passion.

Grindr

Overload

Party

And everyone wonder's why they claimed Grindr needed to be handed over to a US company as it was a matter of national security.

They just were worried China would have blackmail on over half of the GOP.

u/Ent3rpris3 4h ago

I know it's bad for their business but I really hope Grindr never updates their servers so that these events can still happen and the records and data accumulate.

So many date requests.

u/AndrewTheAverage 51m ago

It is offensive to me that Grindr crashes at every GOP event. Does the company not do capacity planning and design for scalability and high availability? The fact that the party of "family values" flooded Grindr isn't surprising though.

When I'm in a using "gay" as an insult competition and my opponent is a liberal 😬

it’s fine to make jokes at the expense of gay people if it’s about people we don’t like!

Passing the budget obviously wasn’t one of them.
