If we can get Kamala drinking a beer and shooting bottles off a fence with her Glock, she may just win over some right wing voters

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Get Steve Austin in there.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Except Austin is insane, a Trumper, a wife beater, a Vince McMahon defender, and claims brain damage isn't real

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I know, it was a joke leaning into what those people would like. I don't know how Keanu Reeves votes, but that would probably work even better. But how cool would it be to hear "and Austin 3:16 says Kamala just whooped your ass"

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

The Kamala/wrestling connection is already there

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (2 children)

At this point, I think y’all would cheer for her personally killing Palestinians.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

I'm convinced comments like yours are pro Trump bullshit trying to muddy the waters. What are you trying to do? Say Kamala bad cause Israel. Ignoring the fact that Trump would nuke Gaza rather than save it. That or you're trying to dissuade Kamala voters, so they stay home, or so they vote third party all which benefits only Trump and accelerates the destruction of Palestine

If none of the federal candidates supports your side. Then it's not an election issue. They cancel each other out, It's a moot point in the election and should be dealt with through Congress and Senate. Though to say the Democrats and GOP are equal on this issue is bullshit, since the only politicians speaking out are Democrats

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Buckle up. Your queen of genocide and border walls is gonna lose.

But you’ll blame that on me, who won’t vote for genocide, rather than the candidate that supported genocide. And also supports Trump’s border wall and deportations.

But go ahead and downvote me, you little sweethearts.

I’ll see you crying on my birthday, November 5th.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 days ago

You're a fucking idiot if you think Trump is anti genocide or anti Israel

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Better than bowing down to someone who will call Trump Hitler, then adopt his border policy.

But fuck Immigrants, right? That’s a democratic value, right?

How’s the uncirculated air in there?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago

Hey, i would appreciate of you didn't continue attempting to troll on my comments, thanks.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

What's your voting solution, oh wise one?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I don’t have one.

It’s very sad that democrats chose to support genocide, and you’re just going along with it. So much for ethics. So much for morals. So much for values. They’re all gone now, because of people like you.

Stand up for something, you comfortable idiot.

There are innocent people being blown to pieces, and you want me to vote for that to save the very ‘democracy’ that created it in the first place? Suck my tiny dick. You don’t give a fuck about anything except your team winning, even when that team will fuck you over just like the opposing.

Imagine being such a petulant American. Your country is built on genocide, of course you’re callous to it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yep, exactly as i thought. Bro has contracted a sever case of: being a troll.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Better than contracting a severe case of genocide support. But you do you, typical American. 😘

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago

Blocked for being toxic

I noticed that a link to the segment hasn't been shared yet. For those who want to watch - VP Kamala Harris Shares A Miller High Life With Stephen Colbert

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (9 children)

Are they really doing the 'have a beer with' propaganda bullshit?

She is not one of us, she's clueless what our struggles are.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Oh she’s definitely not one one you, that’s for sure and that’s a good thing.

She’s reasonable. And lives in readily.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago (1 children)

She spent her career locking up people like me and denying my rights. The ones not living in reality are liberals that cannot see that they have become the things that they claim to hate

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago (1 children)

People like you? So you’re a criminal? Because as a DA, she locked up criminals…. because that was her job.

And what rights were you denied exactly. Do you have a list?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago (1 children)

No, and neither were the men she kept in prison after their parole dates so the state wouldn't lose cheap labor

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

So…. What rights were you denied again? I need some clarification since you didn’t exactly answer the question properly the first time.

Please, if you will- list them by title and code so I can check this against what actually happens in the real world.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

you, failing a Turing test again.

Did she actually drink it lol?

Unrelated, but one of the things that made me really respect Judy Greer was watching a Zoom call table read with the cast of Archer during COVID. Everyone was home and drinking elaborate cocktails except Judy - she was drinking Miller Lite out of a can. Respect.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

Did she actually drink it lol?

Yes, she (and Colbert) each took a sip.

Also, re Judy Greer, respect.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (4 children)
[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

Sure you can.

And Colbert commonly has a drink with his guests (typically whiskey or bourbon).

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

Didn't watch WWE during the attitude era, did ya? Or the man show? Or expedition unknown? Or always sunny? Or cheers? Or lost? Or that 70s show? I could keep going but it'd be nearly limitless. Where did you get this idea? Fuck, I've seen people drinking beer on the news. Like, a lot.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

Only applies to beer ads AFAIK.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

I always was taught that too. Maybe it was an old rule or maybe it’s after a certain time. Maybe it was never true and just something my parents taught me.

Also, maybe Kamala and Colbert didn’t actually have alcohol in the can

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (11 children)

... Miller Lite though?

I guess she's a little older, but we have better options these days. Our microbrewery boom was like over a decade ago now, people don't need to drink the watered down piss anymore.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (2 children)

People like what they like, and that usually stems from what they grew up with, even of it's not the "best" option available.
