  1. Every time Trump makes an unhinged Truth social post it should be headline news...

     

    "Major Presidential candidate posts all caps deranged lie filled tirade on social media. Has he completely lost his mind?"

     

    It should be the lead story on every newspaper. If he does it again, run another headline. OVER AND OVER AND OVER.

     

    DERANGED. INSANE. UNPRESIDNTIAL. UN-AMERICAN. UNHINGED. IDIOTIC.

     

    Stop normalizing anything he does.

  2. The sad thing is that we are even having this conversation. This shouldn't have to go to court. In a sane world filled with sane people, the entire GOP would have severed all ties with Trump at any of the 100+ times it would have made sense to do so in the last 8 years or whatever. Standards and norms should dictate that anyone who behaves like trump, acts like trump and does trump things should not be considered a normal candidate. The way the GOP establishment treats him, the way the media treats him in pursuit of some sort of semblance of fairness or "both sides-ism" is the problem.

     

    The whole system breaks down when 50% decide they just don't care about anything and are willing to normalize and defend total insanity to maintain the status quo.

     

    This shouldn't even be in court. We shouldn't even be having this conversation. OF FUCKING COURSE HE SHOULD NOT BE ON THE FUCKING BALLOT. HOW IN THE FUCK IS HE A LEGITIMATE CONTENDER FOR THE PRESIDENCY? The entire right wing has lost their fucking mind. The media fucking sucks too. Stop normalizing his insanity. Treat every crazy thing he says like it's the fucking craziest whacked out bullshit imaginable, BECAUSE IT IS.

  3. Society at large needs to do more to turn COVID downplays and naysayers into total social pariahs.

     

    We should treat these people in a similar fashion to how they would have treated someone who during WWII would have said "Sugar rationing? Why? For the troops? Fuck that, fuck the troops, I'll eat all the sugar I want. Nom nom motherfuckers. I don't care, I do what I want. For the good of the country? Fuck the country... I did my own research that says they have plenty of sugar anyway..."

  4. People had similar theories around what Sinema and Manchin were doing the last few years. The Dems can be like, well, we tried, what are ya gonna do? Meanwhile, nothing changes and the status quo is maintained...

     

    It's very convenient...

     

    That said, this impeachment of Mayorkis was such a hot load of crap. Every single Republican knew it was a terrible idea to impeach a top level cabinet member because of policy disagreements. What kind of batshit crazy precedent would that set?

     

    Anyway, it also doesn't matter. Bipartisanship is over in this country... Joe Biden could move the entire military to the border to immediately stop all crossings while also rounding up all immigrants for immediate deportation and the right wingers would still complain endlessly.

  5. LOL, I know... I know... but after MONTHS AND MONTHS AND MONTHS of endless discussions and articles about this, Fox News didn't even have a main feature article about this yesterday. They have one about someone bringing a stuffed shark to a library a week ago, but not this...

     

    (EDIT: I spoke too soon, they are now featuring it... oh well... there still wasn't a peep yesterday... like it never happened...)

  6. ET really deserves it's reputation and could very well be the worst I've played that I can remember clearly...

     

    That said, I'm sure the true worst of all time was some garbage shovelware iOS game I deleted in 2 minutes... there have been so many...

     

    After that it has to be one of the truly crap NES and Atari games that have been forgotten over time... some definitely worse then ET...

     

    Limiting it to "real" games I owned and paid money for my vote goes to Perfect Dark Zero. I don't know if it's actually the worst (I'm sure it's not) but it wins the prize for biggest overall letdown. What a piece of crap that game was.

  7. I still vividly remember in the mid-to-late 80's, when I was in like jr high... we used to hang out at this local pizza place and they had a party area in the back and there was a local anime club that would come in and watch subtitled Japanese cartoons... and at the time it felt so unfathomable bizarre to me... to see a bunch of adults, choosing to watch weird foreign cartoons with subtitles out in public...

     

    This was before anime was really a thing. I mean, we had Speed Racer, Voltron, Battle of the Planets, Robotech, etc... but it still felt just so weird to me that adults were watching... and with subtitles... in public...

     

    There isn't really a point to this story beyond anime has come a long way since then.
