  1. My main takeaway was… how stupid is this woman? If I was a celebrity that had to interact with the general public, do you know how much random political content I would be posting? Most likely zero… and if I did post anything political, every message would be carefully thought out, diplomatic and positive. But let’s say hypothetically… I did post a bunch of dumb memes, and then got in trouble and had meetings and training sessions about it… do you know how many dumb memes I would post after that? Zero. Less than zero. I would shut the fuck up and keep my job, because the dumb crap she was posting was not going to change anyone’s minds or move the needle. It’s just more farting in a tornado and to what end? Clearly this woman has a massive ego and probably narcissistic personality disorder or who knows… but man, how stupid can you be? And I guess the answer is look at the nonsense she was posting and she was just about that stupid. Anyway, as hard as she tried to use this article to paint herself as some sort of sympathetic character in all of this, I have zero sympathy for her. None. It’s like she was on a hike, and someone was like, hey, there’s a big hole right there, don’t step there or you will fall and die… and she was like, “no one tells me what to do!!” …and jumps in the hole.
  2. That would make a hell of a tv show. He could be the VP, a starting QB and a secret special forces commando. He would be in White House board room, negotiating a peace treaty, when a man would burst through door, “mr vice president, you need to be in Baltimore! Kickoff is in 30 minutes, we won’t even have time to land!” He would nod and put on his helmet from under the table… and rip off his suit showing him to be wearing his full uniform… cut to a shot of jumping from a plane in a wing suit, parachuting onto the field right as the game is starting… montage of him winning the game... Then as he’s celebrating, a middle eastern man would walk onto the field and be like, Mr vice president, that was amazing, we have a deal… you’ve brought peace to the Middle East…
  3. Gina Carano on Getting Sacked From Star Wars and Her Grudge Match With Disney WWW.HOLLYWOODREPORTER.COM The ex-MMA sensation finally opens up about her 'Mandalorian' firing, the toxic tweets that led to it and why she’s tag-teaming with Elon Musk to take the entertainment giant to the mat.
  4. Among Us was a huge cultural event amongst the youths for like 3-4 months in 2020 at the height of lockdown. My understanding is that no one cares about it anymore and they will care even less 2 years form now when this comes out.
  5. He may as well make a bill to give everyone a pet unicorn. I mean, I 100% think this is a great idea, but this is America and good luck...
  6. DEI is probably the wrong term to use. Affirmative Action may be better... but I don't think that term is in use anymore. It's not perfect because there are people who are more qualified who get passed over in some situations. One of my good friends worked in a police department that put so much emphasis on promoting and hiring black police officers that it was basically impossible for white officers to advance. So what do they do? They all quit, which is what he did along with many others. Well, some of them also sued them for millions of dollars and won. I know this is an extreme example, but I think we can all agree that in a perfect world we wouldn't need to take someones race into the equation when hiring at all, unfortunately, we do not live in a perfect world and we have deep deep problems in our societal structures so much that without taking more drastic measures, they will never sort themselves out naturally.
  7. I feel like this would be like putting a gun to your head and pulling the trigger. Do these politicians not understand how popular TikTok is with young people these days? And if you do feel like it has to be done... why do it right before an election? I feel like the people who want this to happen won't care nearly as much as all the people who will be deeply pissed off about it. It would not be popular.
  8. I would say that less taxes, smaller government, desiring a strong military, being tougher on crime and favoring pure meritocracy over government mandated equality are the base pillars of a sane Republican Party and not some sort of crazy viewpoint. Not necessarily one I agree with, but we need people in power pulling in that direction too so we can land somewhere sane in the middle. The problem is that those are no longer the pillars and the entire party has gone completely batshit crazy.
  9. My understanding is that many pro athletes are hardcore right wingers. Come for the tax breaks & hardline meritocratic ideology... and stay for the culture war garbage!
  10. Aaron Rogers is absolutely insufferable. Listening to him speak is grating and physically painful. That said, I kind of want this to happen, even though I loath both of these men. ( edit: I loath RFK and Rogers, not Ventura, who has kinda lost it in his old age but I used to appreciate his candor even if I didn’t 100% agree with his politics. Dude was a true believer. )
  11. Surely the timing can't be a coincidence. I wonder what's happening behind the scenes to make him leave so suddenly.
