Things that made you laugh today (Political Version)

[Parkbandit]

Watching the very real news and Democrats on Twitter go crazy over Republicans attacking Malia Obama for underage drinking...except almost no Republican gave a single shit about Malia Obama drinking.

Seriously every time I've even seen someone talking about Malia it was either a Republican saying they didn't care that she was drinking or it was a Democrat outraged that Republicans are making a big deal about it. I first heard about this a couple of days ago and didn't even know what was going on and didn't care enough to look into it. It wasn't until a few minutes ago I read an article explaining everything that's going on.

The tl;dr version is the Daily Mail posted photos of Malia Obama drinking and some Republican I've never heard of who has a show on Sirius XM made a comment about her being in the 1% and engaging in underage drinking and enjoying her privilege, and apparently this one dumbass making a random comment about privilege means all Republicans are frothing at the mouth over her drinking.

Wait.. she's drinking?

Good for her.

When Sen. Kamala Harris said last week that she obviously supports marijuana legalization and has smoked the plant, she cited her ethnicity — “Half my family’s from Jamaica. Are you kidding me?”


Her Jamaican father is not happy about that.


In a statement to Jamaica Global Online, Donald Harris called his daughter’s remarks a “travesty” and accused her of stereotyping.


“My dear departed grandmother … as well as my deceased parents, must be turning in their grave right now to see their family’s name, reputation and proud Jamaican identity being connected, in any way, jokingly or not with the fraudulent stereotype of a pot-smoking joy seeker and in the pursuit of identity politics,” he said.


“Speaking for myself and my immediate Jamaican family, we wish to categorically dissociate ourselves from this travesty,” Mr. Harris, an economics professor at Stanford University, concluded in a statement to the news site for the Jamaican diaspora.

Apparently, Phillips, a phony war hero, was too intimidated by the unruly Hebrew Israelites to approach them, the true troublemakers, and instead chose to focus on a group of innocent children – a much safer endeavor for activist tactics of intimidation.

That's the best way I've seen anyone put it. Spot on assessment.

Why would he approach the Hebrew Israelites? He's lock step with them.

Oregon is about to pass rent controls for the entire state, because surely every place in the world that passed rent controls instantly fixed their housing and homeless problems.

Also part of the bill will prohibit landlords from evicting tenants without cause after they have rented the place for 12 months.

So imagine, you have your house (which you're still paying for) and a rental property (which you have paid off). Shit hits the fan; you're in an accident, you lose your job, you burn through your savings, you can no longer afford the house you're living in so you sell it. You figure "Gee, I'll just move into my rental property since it's paid for." But NOPE! Your tenant gets to live there until they fuck up or decide to move so you're busy looking for a place to rent but OOPS. Thanks to the state's rent control there is a 2+ waiting list for an apartment in the area you want to live in.
