  1. Maybe. If what happened with the Republican party happens with the church, you will be 100% correct. He comes in, is his asshole self and drives decent people to say "fuck it, I'm out." They leave the institution. What's left are people that applaud when he shits on the dais and like that, he's now in control of the institution. Sure, it may be weakened, but it still influential and holds some power. More importantly, since he controls it, it is no longer an institution that could oppose him. Do that with enough institutions, and... you know the rest.
  2. Well, Trump took over the Republican Party. Next up is the Christian religion. Hopefully there are enough decent Christians to curtail that shit.
  3. Everyone upset about Diddy and Cuba Gooding Jr, but you better not sleep on Wayne Brady, bitches.
  4. Yeah, I've had similar thoughts. That Trump is basically a political "Stone Cold" Steve Austin with a kayfabe sticking it to "the man" schtick, and it resonates with people that feel (rightly, wrongly, its sorta immaterial) that they have been fucked over by "the man" as well. Trump cleverly manages to lump in anyone who threatens him into the collective "man" that is holding all his aggrieved followers down.
  5. Can we just deport Mark Maddock to Dumbfuckistan? Oh, I forgot, he already resides in Dumbfuckistan.
  6. It’s just good old free market capitalism at work. Capitalists are really only responsible for consolidating and increasing capital. It only seems irresponsible if you care about things other than money.
  7. “Conservative sex” is the preferred nomenclature, dude.
  8. 1. MAGA types hate Rona McDaniel. She isn't viewed as one of them. 2. As the Venn diagram of "Republican", "Conservative" and "MAGA" condense to a single circle, "RINOs" like Rona are going to be hard up, especially if they are blacklisted everywhere outside of that. Probably deserved, leopards eating faces, etc.... but... 3. If someone formerly enabled Trump and MAGA but now feels compelled to work against them, it is in my family's best interests for them to find a place to do that. I have no idea if that is what Rona was going to do, but we are in an immediate existential crisis for the country as we have known it. If she's willing to help prevent a complete Trump takeover and establishment of a MAGA federal government, then I don't care what she did two, four, six years ago. I want her help to keep Trump out of the White House now. 4. A whole lot of people benefit from citizen outrage our country's internal strife, and they are not all part of the MAGA movement. Media across the political spectrum has a particularly strong profit motive in promoting war vs peace.
  9. Well that was pretty spectacularly terrifying.
  10. That is definitely the image of someone who was better off 4 years ago.
  11. Just have her perform traditional conservative women’s work.
  12. Capitalists migrate and population follows. There was a time when Detroit was a thriving center for new enterprise. There will be a time in the future when cities in Texas resemble today's Detroit.
  13. Where's Chappelle when we need him most...
  14. Like most things, there's a happy medium between coddling and harsh discipline. Going too far in one direction or the other is destructive. I mean, look at the kids in Footloose. They just wanted to dance, for chrissakes.
  15. Yeah, the discussion has been successfully redirected towards the usual political suspects.
  16. In case anyone is finding the current crop of conspiracy theories lacking, Trump's going to get his windfall through a merger with a company with "World Acquisition" in its name that just so happens to be headquartered in Wuhan, China -- the epicenter of COVID-19. Trump, whose companies have a long history of filing for bankruptcy, announced a deal Wednesday night to bring a new media company public through what’s known as a SPAC, or a Special Purpose Acquisition Corporation. Trump Media & Technology Group, chaired by Trump, said it will launch a new social media platform that the former president promises will “stand up to the tyranny of Big Tech.” RELATED ARTICLEWeWork is finally going public. A lot has changed The media company has agreed to combine with Digital World Acquisition Corp., a blank check company that exists solely to merge with private firms to take them public. The Nasdaq-listed shell company is led by Patrick Orlando, who is also the CEO of Yunhong International, a SPAC based in Wuhan, China, according to filings. The blank check company’s shares nearly quadrupled on Thursday, finishing up 357%. https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/21/business/trump-social-media-spac/index.html
  17. If only the government was as well run as Boeing, X and Purdue Pharma, all our lives would be hunky dory.
