In JD Vance's unscrupulous, Machiavellian quest to be president, he has gone from embracing Usha's religion of Hinduism to now embracing Christian nationalism (white supremacy) and tacitly threatening Usha w/ divorce if she doesn't renounce her faith and convert to Christianity.

Tonight’s #FridayLimericks go to the GOP’s ongoing, gleeful attack on Americans.

As the GOP shutdown goes on,
Still more pain will be coming from Don.
The key lesson to learn:
He is happy to burn
Through us all to maintain his own con.

If Andrew Bayly has just stabbed Christopher Luxon while he is overseas actually getting a bit of good press for once just so Andrew Bayly can clarify what happened in February then that is almost more hilarious than it being some Machiavellian Bishop lead takedown #NZPol

“Interesting”

My suspicion is it was all part of a very Machiavellian approach by the two of them

Yeah, but I think the core difference is actually those people are as machiavellian as the right, they believe that the end justifies the means.

"Machiavellian Evil Plan or Really Dumb Incompetence?"

The problem is I could credit Miller and Vought with one, but the rest of the admin would definitely be the other.

I know you probably grew up with him but Machiavellian principles aren't the way big dawg.

If you're willing to sacrifice a subset of innocent marginalized people, that's a deal breaker.

That gives the EU far too much Machiavellian credit and Britain far too little self-responsibility. The 90/180 rule wasn’t invented for the UK, it’s the long-standing third-country framework. We chose to become a third country; the EU simply applied the rules that already existed.

These are the people that many fear disrupting because they work themselves up into believing a legend constructed entirely in their heads of a machiavellian genius seizing the grips of power and ascending amongst mere mortals to the throne.

Feel like not enough people appreciate how some people treat their college/student org/etc social scene as a training ground/LARP arena for machiavellian politics

I. Swear to god. Our tyrants are not charismatic chess masters. They're not Machiavellian schemers. They're all just so fucking lame, would ONE FUCKING PERSON IN POWER JUST GROW SOME BALLS AND POINT OUT THAT THEY ARE CRINGE. JUST CALL THEM CRINGE.

Say it louder for those in the back.

There's been so much fearmongering, people think the planners and movers behind this are machiavellian geniuses. No. They've had *some* success but the project they seek to enact is absurd in scale, and they just aren't smart enough bring it to fruition.

I do not think the republicans are machiavellian geniuses. They are evil dipshits.

If your definition of competent leadership doesn't include not being a horrible person, you are implicitly accepting a fundamentally Machiavellian theory of morality regarding the morality of the ruler vs the rest.
Little I hate more than 'sure this guy is [racist/rapist/corrupt/insert horrible act of your choice] but he's still good for the--' no he's not! Those traits are inherently in conflict with competent leadership and public service!

Absolutely, he isn’t some Machiavellian genius, he literally has 85%+ of the media backing him & billionaires funding him!

Our Plan Premium increased.

Without the ACA subsidy the Premium cost for myself and my honey is $24,000.

Fuck that

We'll pay that money into a separate account.

Republicans are Machiavellian. They destroyed the education system to make people more vulnerable to religious flimflammers. They impoverish people in Red States, which pushes them to the right.

The rich do not care less what happens to 99% of the people.

Conservatives are a party based on misogyny, patriarchy, colonialism and unfettered capitalism. Doesn’t matter who is the leader I have never voted cons - never will.
My fear is he will be replaced by someone charismatic yet ruthlessly Machiavellian for achieving christofascist rule in 🇨🇦.

How sad that the Democratic Party is so desperate for single seats in the Congress that we’re even discussing support for this guy.

I’m so sick of the cynical Machiavellian machinations for scraps of control and the groupthink that says we can never criticize anyone to the left of Goebbels.

What America's political system is missing is the pure schadenfreude of watching Machiavellian politicians stab their own leader in the back to topple them in the middle of their term in office.

I want to watch the vultures circling.
