  1. 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…
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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...
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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!
  9. 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. )
  10. Surely the timing can't be a coincidence. I wonder what's happening behind the scenes to make him leave so suddenly.
  11. I'm sure Fox News will run multiple high profile articles with this new information, just like they ran 20+ news stories on the original report... you know, so their audience doesn't just absorb the original messaging without seeing any of the follow-up, because setting up a situation like that would be super questionable morally... I won't be able to check since I still have the site blocked... so I'll just assume that is what is happening, because surely the most popular news organization in the country has incredibly high journalistic standards.
  12. Sex trafficking victim says Sen. Katie Britt telling her story during SOTU rebuttal is ‘not fair’ | CNN Politics WWW.CNN.COM The woman whose story Alabama Sen. Katie Britt appeared to have shared in the Republican response to the State of the Union as an example of President Joe Biden’s failed immigration policies told CNN she was trafficked before Biden’s presidency and said legislators lack empathy when using the issue of human trafficking for political purposes. Has this dumb stupid crap been discussed here yet? Long story short, the insufferable stupid vile turd Katie Britt, during her hilariously terrible SOTU response... made a reference to a 12 year old who she claimed to have talked about being sex trafficked... and the way she purposefully and manipulatively phrased it, any reasonable person listening would have assumed it all happened under Biden's watch... but of course that isn't true. The woman in question was trafficked in the early 2000s, during the Bush administration, in Mexico (not the USA at all in any way) and not by a cartel but rather an individual street pimp... and it had zero to do with Biden, border crossings, cartels or anything... AND... AND... she never actually really talked to her at all, Katie Britt went to a conference where this woman telling her story was a speaker. So yeah, good times.
  13. Maybe don't be part of a political movement that has spent the last 30 year pushing the worst possible fear mongering and hyperbolic divisive rhetoric imaginable.
  14. Don't care, didn't watch, hate awards shows... but... Spider Man > Heron Boy
  15. The way GOP is turning the death of this poor innocent woman into some sort of political hammer is disgusting and nonsensical. People die from crime every single day. It is a tragedy, but these fucking ghouls are just using her as a prop. They don’t give a shit about her. Let’s see them wear the names of the hundreds of thousands of Americans who trumps shitty COVID response killed.
  16. I can see the port in Israel now... One dock with a big sign that says "DELIVER BOMBS HERE" and another that says "DELIVER HUMANITARIAN AID HERE". We're a one stop shop for all your wartime needs.
  17. I've never played even a second of a Fallout game... and this looks pretty great.
  18. In the last week or so we've seen multiple "new" articles with headlines like... EVIDENCE OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE and then they go on to say stuff like... "a few individuals conducting interviews of Israelis talked to a few people who pinky swear that they saw victims with their pants down" None of these new reports or findings actually have any new information at all, they are just being presented to us as if they do. Hamas super duper sucks. I'm sure there was some horrible sexual violence to go along with the "regular" horrible violence... but why are we still talking about this half a year later like it changes anything. Is the addition of rape supposed to justify this response? Is 1,200 dead and a few rapes really that much worse than just 1,200 dead? I mean, I know the answer, I'm just thinking out loud, but it's annoying to me.
  19. She half heartedly endorsed him, saying she was hopeful he would earn the trust of her voters. Mitch McConnell just endorsed Trump as well, you know, because he's a soulless and spineless amoral empty shell with ZERO INTEGRITY.
  20. It's pretty comical to me how the right wing wants to start a culture war with her. Clearly there are marching orders from somewhere up high to keep the crosshairs on her.
  21. So wait, this is real? I saw it on TikTok and assumed it was fake. Hilarious.
