This is a similar idea to a new job role that I’ve been proposing for a few years now: The slapping page.
One should be assigned to every politician, CEO, board member and similar public figure to shadow them and step forward to administer a hefty slap to their face anytime their charge says something stupid, racist, inhumane, tells a lie or anything of the sort.
No words should be exchanged and the slapping page should immediately after the fact return to their background position, displaying a neutral facial expression.
I believe the introduction of the slapping page would
- incentivize truthful, empathetic and overall more decent behaviour in said public figures
- revive the job market by introducing a new exciting AI proof career path
- increase the entertainment value of public appearances of said public figures
- motivate tax payers who would see their tax money used in the public interest for once
Thank you for listening to my elevator pitch.
They should also be required to have an advisor that is a 5 year old child. If the 5 year old child can outsmart their plan, then a Republican probably can too.
100% support this.
Now is not the time for such divisio—
Shht!
There are some very humane shock collars on the market.
Pretty sure those are illegal in the UK, if you know what I mean 🤭
What’s the voltage?
Keep those for dogs and such. We should use the inhumane ones on the politicians.
GOP: We see you as subhuman and want to hunt you for sport.
Centrist Dems: That’s someone I can work with to craft bipartisan legislation that only compromises 95% of what my voters want.
“Yes we gave ICE a $50 trillion budget for next year, but in exchange we recieved a gentleman’s agreement that the president would consider allowing the permit for 1 wind farm to be reviewed.”
“Thereby I improved things by 5%”
Completely illogical and quite likely something they (bipartisan) would say.
This “progressive” vs “centrist” bullshit is a false narrative. You could describe James Talarico or Adam Hamilton as centrist, but they have more in common with Bernie Sanders than with Chuck Schumer.
This battle is about ethics and tenacity vs corruption and fecklessness, not “progressives” vs “centrists.” Schumer clearly greases the wheels for his donors, represents the interests of AIPAC above those of the United States, and does not have the skills to lead with new ideas or stand up to would-be authoritarians. All the Democrats who represent the working people should unite to support another candidate for Majority Leader.
I think a gun would be both a better deterrent and more effective solution. But only if the stand-behind-person(derogatory)-with-a-gun also gets the same treatment. Like those russian dolls.
Compromise: a super soaker filled with bleach.
This is so Russian, like Lavrov and all the cronies for Putin are an outer shell.
Seems like the USA is another outer for the russians these days.
Put some thumbtacks into that rolled up newspaper and you got yourself a deal
This is the problem, they will do anything painful for money.
All you’re doing is turning into a worse kink,
Pavlo “You work for AIPAC?” TzzzzzzzzzzT Rep D “I work for no one but my electorate” TzzzzzzzzzT Pavlo “You work for AIPAC?” TzzzzzzzT Rep D “I work for AIPAC, but can you give me one of those? it’s the only thing that gets me of since I lied to my electorate”
Some of them should probably use a brick instead. It isn’t like Fetterman’s brain can get worse.
That is overly violent.
Just ounch him in the dick every time he goes to speak.
I know it’s just nit picking, but I can’t stop trying to imagine holding a tone on a silent ‘e’.
Oh good, I’m not alone! 😂 Huge pet peeve of mine when people write drawn-out words like that and the letters they choose to repeat make no sense whatsoever 😅
This goes hardddddddddd
Right up there with when people italicize a word for emphasis but it’s clearly not the word that makes sense to emphasize.
Or people that emphasize with quotation marks instead of the asterisks, saying don’t loose your mind or something something
Yeah I hate when people do that. Mistak-EEEEEEEEEY!
Mistakey sounds like something that’s technically a mistake but only a little bit (will incorporate this into my vocabulary).
There are no mistakeys, only little happy accidents.
To be fair, if I made a hugely obvious social mistake in public, if someone shouted “mistaaaaaake!” I’d probably be annoyed, as JD is in the gif.
If someone pronounced it as the caption describes, I’d probably still be annoyed but refocus on how someone could make that kind of mistakey.
If someone pronounced it as “mis-stake-eh” it probably wouldn’t help in the situation but might actually cheer me up in the face of what would otherwise have been despair.
lol what a tangent this was
Oh, I agree. That’s why my alt text differs from the caption.
Worry not, friend, your pedantry exists not in isolation.
Hakeem and schumer needs one. and all the Dinos that recieved AIPAC MONEY. hakeem and schumer is doing everything they can to shield the rest of the Aipac-DNC from being primaried next election.
Don’t do that “Rino”/“Dino” thing. It is sadly a fact that these people are part of the democratic party, as bad as that is. everything else would be a case of a “true scotsman”-fallacy, and delay needed change. (As in: make them NOT part of the democratic party anymore)
“Hakeem and Schumer”
Then…
“Hakeem and Schumer”
Possibly “AIPAC AIPAC AIPAC”
Then…
“Hakeem and Schumer”
Did you also know?
“Hakeem and Schumer”
But also…
I seriously see a split in the party from the monied interests and the more social democrats.
I’d love to see who comes out with a wet head.
… with shreds of soggy newspaper all over their hair.
Why are you treating actual adults whose job it is is to represent you as being nothing but a misbehaving animal when they don’t do their fucking job.
It’s more of the same that they did, treating each other as subhuman. The cycle continues.
The do-nothing Democraps remind me of that song lyric from Nothing But Thieves. “Why would you wanna do good when you can feel good?”
Like can we please get something, ANYTHING from this fucking Blue Wave?
The main something anything is the stoppage of shifty and harmful R bills going through Congress.
And you realize that only starts next year right?
No, I mean right now. I am so pissed off that Abdul El-Sayed hasn’t delivered on any of his promises since he was elected!
Not sure if a poor attempt at trolling by copying this onion piece or just a fool…
Mans doesn’t even get sworn into office until January.
