  1. 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!
  2. 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. )
  3. Surely the timing can't be a coincidence. I wonder what's happening behind the scenes to make him leave so suddenly.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Don't care, didn't watch, hate awards shows... but... Spider Man > Heron Boy
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. So wait, this is real? I saw it on TikTok and assumed it was fake. Hilarious.
  14. The funniest part is that she won DC primary with less than 2,000 actual votes.
  15. I grew up as a HUGE Nintendo fan... but I now find the overall experience of being a Nintendo customer to be extremely frustrating in just about every way it can be frustrating.
  16. I hate these gun nut losers. I know so many people who just lose their minds when it comes to guns. They all think they are in constant danger and the entire world is out to get them. People who won't go anywhere without an assault rifle in their truck or a concealed pistol like it's the Wild West out there. The feel like they are in danger all the time, riled up by a right wing media that profits from keeping them all constantly afraid and on edge... and a firearms industry that profits from the same. Too many guns in the world? It's so dangerous! Better buy more guns! They all fantasize constantly about being able to gun down people. I bet a huge percentage of them wish that someone would try to break into their house just so they can gun them down. They wish they can find themselves in a situation where they can gun people down. They WANT to gun people down. It's their dream. This guy has probably been waiting his entire life for the opportunity to kill someone with his fun toys.
  17. Yeah, sadly, I also discovered that it is very hard to control most games in hand-held mode... and my switch is a switch lite. Ugh. I mostly bought it for Advance Wars, which works great with a portable, but trying to play high precision games like Mario Wonder is just no fun at all.
  18. Not sure if Ivanka makes a good Kelly Bundy but Don Jr makes a great Bud Bundy. Eric can be Buck the dog...
  19. I like when a thread like this pops up and I completely forgot it ever existed and I'm going through it reading, sorta formulating in my head what I'm going to add as I read down... and then BOOM, I scroll past my own post, that I don't even remember making and it already basically says what I wanted to say... good times...
  20. In the last Democratic Primary with an incumbent running without real competition (Obama in 2012), "UNCOMMITTED" got 11% of the vote in Minnesota. So this entire media push and protest campaign resulted in a 2% jump over 2012 when there was no concerted effort to do anything.
