  1. It's really fascinating to watch as one political party takes up stances that are now considered so offensive to the other side that simply espousing them puts you on a shit list. I mean, these are now fairly mainstream opinions... and yet, a huge swath of the populace finds them disgustingly offensive. I'm right there too, I unloaded an obscenity laced rant about her idiocy and yet her getting canned makes me feel kinda gross. It's interesting how a lot of people with right-leaning political thoughts now feel free to speak a lot more openly about things like this in the era of Trump. I'm a jew and honestly, I was less offended by the comparison to Nazis as I was by just how idiotic and stupid it for someone who is in a party that enables a man like trump to be complaining about hateful rhetoric in politics. Like, shut your fucking face with that shit. You may not have that opinion. It's so fucking lacking in self awareness that it makes me want to punch things. I'm not happy about her getting fired, but I also think she is a big dopey dipshit. I have mixed feelings.
  2. There is nothing more pathetic than listening to Trump supporting republicans complain about about stuff like this... What?!?? ...you're complaining about people hating their political opponents? SHUT THE FUCK UP. How much lack of self awareness do these fucking Trump dipshits have? What a stupid fucking idiot. She should take her idiotic nazi meme image and shove it up her stupid ignorant ass.
  3. Meanwhile, the headline on Foxnews.com... BEST THEY GOT? Dem Congressman linked to Chinese spy presents impeachment case against Trump Everyone who works for Fox News should be fired into the sun.
  4. Anyone seen this masterpiece? She has a glowing snake that lives in her vagina and eats men's wieners... Or something like that... it's been a while.
  5. His twitter bio confirms it's 100% fake news. His name being "Jamal Whiteman" should have been your first clue.
  6. They should fire everyone who works at that shit factory.
  7. They are playing with fire fucking around with these $1,400 dollar checks. I think they could have done the $1,400 and had a little pushback and maybe deserved some of that after driving home the $2,000 over and over... but if they start screwing with income levels and other stuff, at some point it's going to bite them in the ass.
  8. So close! They went with "UNITY OUT THE WINDOW" as their big lead story online today. They are completely and utterly lacking in all self awareness. I can't believe ANYONE is stupid enough to take anything they say or do seriously. Their tactics are so painfully obvious and right out in the open. They don't even try to hide it. They know their audience is too stupid to see through their bullshit. They know this because it's true. And we know it's true because it's clearly working.
  9. My wife is from Peru and loves mayo and I'm a white dude from the midwest and I hate it.
  10. But none of that matters. The right doesn't peddle in nuance or shades of grey. They analyze the situation, find the absolute worst aspect of it and then hammer that home for months. Their followers will never bother to learn everything about the situation. They'll see a dishonest headline, skim the first paragraph, have their pre-concieved bias confirmed and stop. It will be carved into stone as a fact and nothing will change that. I guarantee you that this will follow her for years. "She lied about her life being in danger! It was a cop! It was a different building! Lair Liar Liar!" That's what this will turn into.
  11. I don't doubt she was scared and had every right to be... but the language she was using in the days after the riot made it sound much much worse. She kept hinting around about some sort of run-in with bad actors... and it turns out it was a police officer? And he was kinda weird and grumpy? I don't know. You can make your point without giving your opponents extra material to work with. She surely could have seen this coming? She knows how the right processes everything. She knows how the game works, she knows they don't accept anything from her in good faith. Don't lob them softballs.
  12. and 3... 2... 1... AOC faces backlash as critics point out she wasn't in Capitol building during riot WWW.FOXNEWS.COM Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., is facing criticism over initial claims she made about the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, with many noting that she wasn't even in the Capitol when it occurred. But seriously, she did exaggerate the danger... why do they do this to themselves? The reality is already fucked up beyond anything we could have imagined... no need to try and make it sound worse. Reminds me of all of those reports that members were giving tours. Were they? If they were, great... tell the world. If not, then don't talk about it. We don't need to enter the world of half-truths and rumors... the truth is out there and it is already bad.
  13. They need to keep it rolling with the TV show stuff until they end up in a serialized high budget streaming show from the 2020s... oh wait...
  14. Anytime people talk about this kid I think of this song... I mean, it ends a little differently, but whatever. Seriously though, what the fuck... don't take a god damned assault rifle to a fucking street protest. Just don't. Why? What the fuck are you doing? When all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like nail. When you've spent your entire life soaking in batshit crazy gun nut propaganda and racism, and all you have is a deadly weapon designed for soldiers to kill as many people as fast as possible... guess what the fuck is going to happen. Ever problem is going to look like a dead person laying in the street. No one had to die. No one had to be shot. He wasn't defending his house. He wasn't even defending his own city. He showed up looking for a fight and found one. He's dangerous. He's a killer and he needs to be locked up. Anyone who gave this kid money is a piece of shit and has his victims blood on their hands too.
  15. Didn't a bunch of evil pieces of shit give this kid a bunch of money for bail and/or lawyers? Fuck all those people. This kid drove for hours to a protest with a fucking weapon of mass destruction to play out some sort of power fantasy fueled by right wing nonsense. Fuck this kid. Fuck everyone who got him this way and fuck everyone who helped him. I hate the world right now.
  16. Oh yeah, Fox News has gone completely over the edge since Biden won. Their daily headlines are fucking hilarious. You get the sense that rather than just reporting the news, they have a group of people sitting around a table and strategizing the best way to spin the days news into a series of headlines that their dopey audience will read and take in and let sink in. They do this knowing no one reads most of the articles. The crazy evil deceptive headlines (and total shit garbage stories) paint an insane picture of pure propaganda and manipulation. The spin is literally dripping off the page. I know none of this is new information, but I had kinda forgotten what Fox News looked like when they were playing offense and not defense. They are so much better at picking at every scab and spinning it into that batshit bullshit tornado.
  17. Starting the countdown clock for the right wing media to start mocking her relentlessly for exaggerating her near-death experience. 10... 9... 8...
  18. Because Fox News runs half-true exaggerated ridiculous scare stories about her around the clock. They are probably attempting a "Hillary" and playing the long game of turning her into such a cartoonish villain that she won't be able to have success on a national stage.
  19. Then I guess the Republican Party has stage 4 cancer... sad. That's what happens when the entire party has been smoking 2 packs of cigarettes dipped in radioactive waste and asbestos every day for the last 5 years. And hey, Mitch used to go to the store to pick up the packs, so he should shut the fuck forever about literally everything.
  20. Apple's stock price always seems to be much more driven by the weird whims of the financial industry than anything they were doing as a company. In the short term anyway.
  21. That's because the Democratic Party has some basic level of standards and ethics. The Republican Party has proven themselves to have NONE. They won't turn on these people. They don't care. If they were cool with what Trump has been doing for the last 5 years, they are cool with literally anything. And their idiot moron evil shithead supporters don't care either. None of them believe in anything. What we've learned during the era of Trump is just how much of how Washington works is based on unwritten rules, standards, basic human decency, etc... and when one of your two parties has NONE of that, and has spent the last 30 years brainwashing their dopey hillbilly supporters into frothing idiots... the whole system crumbles into dust...
  22. I can barely even remember what happened in Rise of Skywalker. It feels like a distant fever dream.
