Things that made you Facepalm today (Political Version)

Here's some hardcore corn for you:






Quirks, sure. Obsessively broadcasting to everyone what you're currently masturbating to every day though...that's just weird, to put it politely.

I’ve got to spread rep around more often, but thanks for the corn. That will come in “handy” tonight.

The messy feud between two of MAGA world's biggest stars burst into public view on Wednesday, when Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) called Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) a "little *****" to her face on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives.

Classy.

Classy.

Classy like when Nancy tore up the SOTU behind Trump? Glass houses and all that.

That's probably the least classy outburst I can recall in my 40 years of following politics.

Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) laid blame Thursday on the U.S. Coast Guard after the armed forces branch said it had found pieces of the lost Titan submersible on the ocean floor. Things might have turned out differently, he said, if leadership "had just acted sooner."

Crenshaw made the comments shortly after the Coast Guard said Thursday that a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) discovered a debris field "consistent with the catastrophic loss of its pressure chamber." The Wall Street Journal later reported that the Navy had registered sounds consistent with an explosion or implosion shortly after contact with the Titan was lost Sunday, but a Navy official later said it would have been "irresponsible" to assume then that the Titan passengers and pilot had died.

Not even Aquaman could have saved them. You can't blame the Coast Guard for this one.

I'm curious what he thinks could have been done to save people from a sub 720'ing itself even if the Coast Guard was right there on the surface in the location waiting to leap in.

Agreed.

I don’t want to see anyone die a horrific death at the bottom of the ocean, but the monumental effort that was made trying to save some billionaires who willingly accepted to play 10,000 Leagues Under the Sea in as janky ass used water heater just doesn’t seem like a good use of resources. Politics of national security and immigration aside for a moment, there are Cuban migrants that die every day in homemade oceanic vessels in an effort to escape the horrible poverty & oppression of communism. Saving those people is not a sensational story though.

I keep hearing people say stuff like "165,000 other people died today, so what?"

And to those people I ask...how many of them imploded though?

Yeah I get what you mean. It is a horrible way to go. I’ve also seen tons of comments of people celebrating the death of billionaires which is atrocious. All that being said, I still don’t believe the massive effort and money we spent saving them was a good use of our resources. We did so for clout chasing reasons.
