  1. What’s funny/not funny/terrifying is what we see has an explanation. An explanation rooted in science and supported by empirical evidence. Global warming/climate change has been warned about and laughed off for decades now. But some people have gone so far up the river Colonel Kurtz style, they can’t see what’s happening in our changing climate and pause for a moment of reflection: what if the scientists are right? No, it’s easier for them to invent a reality where the US government has weaponized the weather against its citizens.
  2. By those standards my wife deserves a purple heart for nasal wounds suffered in the great dutch oven offensive of 2021.
  3. MAGA YOLO displays are weird.
  4. Evergreen Terrace? I thought that was a housing project in Detroit.
  5. The media loves relevancy and profits, and Trump being all Trumpy gives them both, regardless of which demographic any particular org may cater to.
  6. If something does not change, Republicans are about to be destroyed at the ballot box by suburban moms. You know, those women that turn into cocaine bear when someone looks crossly at their cubs. This is about trying to distract their attention from Roe V Wade and their daughters right to personal health autonomy being taken away by Republicans. Just like they want them focused on their pets being eaten by immigrants. JD Vance said it at the debate, they will exaggerate and fabricate to get people talking about what they want. Unsaid in that is an implication that they will exaggerate and fabricate to get people to stop talking about what they don’t want them to talk about. This is all an attempt at distraction in the lead up to November 5th.
  7. DeSantis has resting colonoscopy face.
  8. Most people I know, including myself, had turned it off by that point. I was not getting anything out of it, my vote is decided. I’m hoping that undecideds stayed tuned in longer to have witnessed the devastation. By the time I turned it off, I thought it was basically a no-op and my wife (also a decided voter) thought Vance performed better than Walz. She is not as politically informed and so without any fact checking, it was a he-said, she-said to her, with Vance saying it “better” or at least more polished. He probably also gets a lift just by not being Trumpesque in his communication style. She said she’s glad Vance isn’t the one running for President. I was a bit disappointed in Walz, to be honest. He looked somewhat uncomfortable while I was watching and while he did call Vance on his BS often, it just came across as two kids blaming each other for various messes after their parents came home. He’s a lot like Trump in that he’s top notch in a rally setting where it’s about intensity and emotion and conveying passionate belief in your cause and evoking that in others, but debating isn’t his strong suit. Maybe the J6 stuff at the end moves the needle with undecideds, but I think last night will be a push with neither side taking any new ground.
  9. Is that a yarMAGAlke in the first video?
  10. Sex worker is the preferred nomenclature, dude.
  11. Not enough gore (and now you know why I picked this user name).
  12. But if you like the sounds and don't want the steampunk form factor, they got you covered.
  13. Just make sure to put a couple extra candles in your gig bag and you are good to go.
  14. Needs this effect "pedal"
  15. You’re gonna have to start fucking fat chicks because you gotta, not because you wanna. But before you take that too personally, realize they’re going to be fucking a fat dude soon.
  16. I can accept the fumble, it’s the laying there lifeless with the ball a foot away that pisses me off.
  17. Those people and that dynamic existed before Trump. He just did the cookie trick to tap the pool of disaffected citizens as a voting resource. But you are right, it’s that context that allows someone like Trump to rise. I think the why to that is as simple as this: New census population projections confirm the importance of racial minorities as the primary demographic engine of the nation’s future growth, countering an aging, slow-growing and soon to be declining white population. The new statistics project that the nation will become “minority white” in 2045. The shift is the result of two trends. First, between 2018 and 2060, gains will continue in the combined racial minority populations, growing by 74 percent. Second, during this time frame, the aging white population will see a modest immediate gain through 2024, and then experience a long-term decline through 2060, a consequence of more deaths than births (see Figure 2). https://www.brookings.edu/articles/the-us-will-become-minority-white-in-2045-census-projects/ There is a reason conservatives are conducting themselves like it’s win in 2024 or die. Because if your goal is to enshrine minority rule for whites beyond when they become a voting minority, 2024 is the last best chance you have to do it. From this point forward, whites comprise less and less of the voting population. These numbers started emerging in 2012 after the 2010 census. In 2014/2015 Trump began his political rise. Those were also the years you saw conservatives like Jeff Flake start to opt out of future plans of the Republican Party because they were exposed to some abhorrent strategy, and when a cozy relationship between certain people in the GOP and Russia started surfacing. Why? Maybe it’s because Russia needed to neutralize the US as an opposition to their goals in Europe, and conservatives needed the tutelage from experts in consolidating power in a way impervious to democratic elections. No direct evidence, but it explains a lot that is otherwise inexplicable.
  18. Holy shit, the changing weather, the chem trails, it all makes sense!
  19. We’re going to re-examine Hilary’s 2016 campaign again, aren’t we?
  20. MTG: I’ve always liked Alex Jones. The judge ordering Alex Jones' Infowars to be auctioned off, to pay $1.5 billion defamation damages (a sum he could never pay), proves it was always really about destroying Alex Jones. The shooter was the one who horrifically murdered those innocent children... Alex Jones: No he didn't.
