  1. "Conservatives angered over Donald Trump's trial say "Wait, that's how the legal system actually works?!" after decades of complaining criminals have it way too easy.".
  2. If this event had happened a few years later or the show debued a few seasons earlier this would have definitely been an episode of South Park where the boys found a new toy, fought over it, Cartman inevitably did something horrible to "win" the competition of who gets it, and then starts playing it like a flute or something right as everyone finds out what it really is.....
  3. I feel like the news that Trump was dozing off at his trial was the perfect moment for Dems to stick him with the moniker of "Donald Slump". It works for so many things. Whether he is dozing off in court, his polls start sagging, he has little Don energy at his rallies, or when he inevitably bombs at the debates.....
  4. Jesus fucking Christ can you buy a fucking punctuation, Pat? Did he ever get to the point? I am genuinely trying to figure out what his point was. He started out by doing the academy thing as an aside.....but then never seemed to get to what he was actually trying to say about Kimmel....
  5. I just got done watching it for the first time since I was a kid and man, around season 5 MASH goes from being Patch Adams to Saving Private Ryan
  6. I wouldn't say Lower Decks was the best show, but it was certainly the most consistent. You weren't going to get the next Inner Light or Pale Moonlight with Lower Decks, but you could tune in every week and know you were going to get a good, entertaining episode. Didn't have to worry about canon shattering plot devices or overambitious season long arcs that only live up to about to 50-75% of their potential. Kind of ironic for what it was, but it was the workhorse of New Trek. I have been more patient than most with New Trek. I always tried to find the positive. But between this, their baffling refusal to greenlight Legacy, and a Star Trek movie that may literally be the least interested I have ever been in a property that bears the Star Trek name.... it's wearing thin on me. Season 3 of Picard proved that New Trek doesn't need to be graded on a curve, or made excuses for. It can be as good as any Trek ever made. But, while it doesn't guarentee a good show, step 1 of making a good Trek show is probably for the creators to really understand why Star Trek fans are Star Trek fans and not Star Wars or other generic Sci-fi show fans.
  7. Cancer has denied any involvement, but they are releasing a book this Fall called, "If I Did It".
  8. That seems like a pretty significant charge considering that Matt Gaetz didn't fire McCarthy the House GOP fired McCarthy.
  9. I am so checked out on current wrestling. Funny story, I saw this thread earlier today and realized WM was today and kind of shrugged it off. Then I saw Wrestling with Wregret put up a review of WM30 and I clicked on it and it was making me mildly interested in WM40 and I was thinking "hmmm, I wonder if there is some kind of week trial I could exploit to get WM for free". Then he mentioned that WM30 was right when the Network debuted and how different it is now because the Network doesn't exist anymore because it's a part of Peacock. That's when I realized I already have access to WM because I have a Peacock subscription. That's how checked out of current wrestling I am.....not only do I not watch the shows I flat out forgot I have access to their PPV every month
  10. The best thing about that is, if I remember right, they had to edit the bill a couple times because they realized the wording would stop actual, legit polluting done by businesses in the state. "Hey now, we are just trying to press on the fear centers of the brains of tinfoil hat wearing weirdos....we don't want to risk actually stopping hog farmers from spraying aerated pig shit into the air!!!" -Some Republican, probably
  11. Awesome, I definitely plan to pick up a copy next time I take a trip to the mall while listening to music on my Walkman and stop by the local Blockbuster.
  12. I mean, to me it seems like at this point it's like arming kids with uzis in a game of tag and then being a stickler for the no tag back rule. Trump tries to overthrow the government. The government in various outlets has charged him with nearly 100 felonies in a lead up to the election. I think at a certain time and place there is merit to the no charging a candidate rule, but haven't we long since burned that bridge/whistled past that graveyard/pick your own saying?
  13. It's going to be poetic justice if his efforts manages to land one or more of these trials smack dab in the middle of the election. Honestly, since the average memory span of major Trump scandals seems to be about 2 or 3 weeks for the public and media Trump probably would be better off just getting convicted now and have the appeals process going during the election rather than have it front of mind during the election. If someone had timed the Pussy tape a liiiiiitle better we might not have had this decade of hell to begin with.....
  14. Apparently he is resigning in a way that specifically will not allow a special election. Making votes harder on them for the next 9 months. This is an explicit "fuck you" to House Republicans.
  15. It was always a long shot, but I don't see how an appeals court grants him any kind of relief after that statement. Maybe if his lawyers come up with a firm plan and date on how they need a set time to complete a sale on a property to raise the money or something....but how do you get general relief when the guy is literally saying, "I got the money, but I just don't want to give it to ya!"
  16. I mean, I feel like as far as political cartoons go a little sign or something would have been good. Because if you know where it's located I feel like the first impression is....wait, why is the Statue of Liberty building a wall on the Canadian border.....
  17. I feel ya man. It's like it's one thing to mix up a name, but I can't even begin to follow the line of misfiring brain cells that leads to that fucking sentence. How do you get to Joe Biden "beating" Obama. A man who he never ran against except in 2008(when Obama beat him), is the SAME party as, and indeed served under him as his Vice fucking President for 8 years. It's like his aging mind is only able to hold a limited cast of main characters(Biden, Obama, Clinton, McCain, Pelosi, Pence, DeSantis etc.) but he has absolutely no interest(or perhaps ability) to put them in their proper places while he tells the same stories over and over again. I think maybe the most concerning one I have seen so far is when he was campaigning against Haley, was at an event specifically to talk about Haley, and yet he went on at length about how "she" was at fault for J6 because of the Capital police. An event that happened when Haley had been out of government for years. As I said, it is one thing to flub a name, but literally the only connection between what Trump was saying and reality was that it involved "an uppity woman who pissed me off....". It's not great when grandpa starts mixing up Uncle Steve and Uncle Ray's name. It's a whole 'nother level when he starts telling the story of how he and grandma met.....and it's actually the well known family story of how your mom and dad met....
