  1. So maybe at least a free round of drinks?
  2. So if hypothetically China invades Taiwan and we impose harsh sanctions and/or declare war, would we then be able to declare the trillions we owe them void and solve our national debt crisis?
  3. Just a close dear friend, in between providing private jet service and 50k vacations, buying property from another dear friend for at least twice FMV. My dear friends apparently suck ass.
  4. So even with trans issues…. every accusation is a confession.
  5. “I need to feel comfortable that when you represent something to me, it’s the truth. I’m not very happy right now. I don’t know why this is such a difficult thing.” —But sir, you are aware my client is Fox News right??
  6. So the GOP is all in favor of investigating government officials who’s policy decisions may have been influenced by monetary gains from an outside source? Did I hear that correctly??
  7. "Moms for Bert" would suck the chrome off your trailer hitch and then spit it all back in your face on the way out.
  8. Anyone who was alive in the 80s/90s who now declares astonishment that Trump is a narcissist moron is either a moron or purposely blind. I remember being in low high school in the late 80s/early nineties and running into a classmate who was reading Art of the Deal and everyone hazed him relentlessly cause as kids we know Trump, in his absolute prime, was a narcissist moron.
  9. If MS or Sony could figure out a way to let gamers control an armed drone and chase down a real Russian tank in real time they could charge a shit load and the war would pay for itself.
  10. What about the tax angle. Since he classified the hush money payment as “legal expenses” I assume he wrote those off as a business expense and thus committed state and federal tax fraud. Is that being tacked on ?
  11. The 2023 Russian Bride Mail Order catalog is gonna look like a full set of encyclopedias (Gen Z- those are books)
  12. It does seem 1.6 billion is excessive if we are talking about purely actual damages since Dominion is unlikely worth that much. But doesn’t that amount also include punitive damages or such? If so then a large amount seems reasonable to actually cause pain to Fox and make them think twice in the future over a similar situation.
  13. Desantis also removed a prosecutor for not prosecuting certain laws broken by certain people (which is exactly what they are expecting the NY prosecutor to do) Inside Ron DeSantis’s Politicized Removal of an Elected Prosecutor
  14. I would make a Trading Places $1 type bet that with minimal effort, we could gey a decent number of Georgia and Bama fans to contribute to Surly Burnt Ends NIL by convincing them that Smart and Saban are backed by Soros.
  15. "Judge Reed O'Connor's ruling means people could face sky-high deductibles—leading them to not get adequate care, get sick and die. " One just needs to understand that the GOP intent is for poor to middle income people to not get adequate care, get sick and die is THE prime intention, not just a unfortunate side effect. This is absolutely the society that they want and it drives every policy position that they hold.
  16. GOP- "A prosecutor that declines to prosecute the law of the land is an activist and should be fired! (see Florida Andrew Warren case) Also GOP- "Not declining to prosecute Trump just cause he broke the law of the land is activist and the prosecutor should be fired!"
  17. I understand your point but the far right will use these tactics any way regardless of what Disney does. They are the ones who started this shit and decided on a "win at any cost" and fuck decorum trajectory. You don't bring a knife to a gun fight so now that the gloves are off, it is appropriate to use the exact same tactics. If they end up defeating them, then good, now we have a road map to defeat their bullshit laws. If not, them maybe they will tire of the BS and we can go back to treating the political theater as something less than a blood sport.
  18. I think it is extremely useful to look at another parties actions to decipher their intentions when those intentions are opaque. As 956 states below, the Chinese government has banned TT in their own country, but promote it heavily here. What does that tell you? You could dismiss it as a strange coincidence but knowing what we know about the Chinese government and their intentions towards our society I think we can make rational inferences . And for those saying “what do i care if the Chinese government knows I like seeing cats doing stupid shit” you are incredibly naive if you think that is the data they are mining from your phone. They can mine your interests, everywhere you go, everyone you know, and probably can predict your behavior better than your spouse. And that is before we discuss how the world view and “facts” you are exposed to can be easily manipulated to affect public opinion in this country.
  19. Lets put it this way. If you don’t think TT is a threat, propose to China an identical US owned social media app that you want to make available to their population and see what how far you get. That will tell you all you need to know.
