    I love Crockett, but lean toward Talarico having a better, albeit small, chance of winning a general. I may also be biased by living in R² and my wife being a huge fan of his, so curious what others think.

    I love Crockett as well, but this. I think he's harder to attack in the general. He's not going to bring out the racists.

    Man that was one of tue funniest snl bits of all time. Even the movie was pretty entertaining which is not typical for snl spinoffs.

    I still find myself quoting him once in a while.

    Regarding "Trump only respects strength", that's a bit too rosy for my taste.

    Like most cowards, it isn't that Trump "respects strength". He cowers when confronted with it.

    The only time he doesn't feel like a coward is when he sees clear weakness.

    I think it's a little of both, and I think Trump can only punch down.  Four very recent examples:

    • Mamdani's appearance at the White House.  He confidently went into Trump's space and didn't cower, didn't grovel, and Trump can't punch back in those circumstances. Trump clearly still thinks about NYC, and damned if he wasn't in love with its new mayor. He was even asked about his comments about Trump being a fascist, and Trump defended him/changed the subject.
    • South Park. Trump has constantly gone after broadcast networks to get late-night hosts canceled, because he had leverage over those networks and their licenses. Matt and Trey give no fucks and literally got paid "FUCK YOU" money and are now basically untouchable and are just fucking merciless, mocking his dick size, even doing some live-action bits making fun of him and his dick size, mocking how much of a piece of shit he is, how incompetent he is, how wrapped up in TikTok or twitter his underlings are, etc. Just showing no mercy.  The White House issued a tepid response and then backed off, probably out of fear of more of MAGA seeing it.
    • Governor Newsom. He has flipped Trump's attacks and his fake awards around and is just pounding away using Trump's wording and style, constantly mocking Trump's actions. You'd think Trump would be sending in the National Guard to more CA cities to try and put Newsom in his place, but given the previous deployment was mocked, plus he's been embarrassed to see Newsom use his own words and attitude against him, he's mostly leaving Newscum alone.
    • Mark Kelly. Trump and Hegseth threatened him, claimed he was seditious and Kelly challenged them head on. As TwiceHorn said, Hegseth probably talked to a real lawyer, plus he was being clowned for not realizing the photo was in a mirror. Trump probably recognized at some point that Kelly was looking for a fight all the while Kelly's stature was being elevated.  Oh, and Trump probably didn't realize what had happened with the second strike stuff until after he went after Kelly.

    You are 100% right, he doesn't feel like a coward when he sees clear weakness.

    And he doesn't understand Ukraine because Trump has never been the underdog - he was born on third base and thinks he hit a triple. In his world, the one with the most resources/money should automatically win.

    That consumer is already perfectly happy with the slop netflix currently puts out.

    If they actually brought the HBO/WB back-catalogue out into the spotlight and made it available, I could see canceling a few other services, as there is a shitload of older stuff that I'd watch, not to mention all of the animation that my kids would devour.

    But instead, we'll get Band of Brothers and Game of Thrones featured on the Netflix home screen and that's about it.

    And Harry Potter.

    This looks to me like a sea change in the information getting to the far right that is negative towards Trump.  When a few percentage points determines all elections on a national scale, or often larger population races like a United States Senate, 3 or 4% is often the deciding factor.    

    It's not only that, combine it with things like Trump clearly losing control of Congress over the Epstein Files and how those 4 managed to swing things to where he had to pretend to want to go along with releasing the files...and then you have some folks on the right in Congress retiring or pondering it, and while it's probably because Trump is going to primary some of them, there is the thought that they are trying to preserve their political future - they know far more about the Epstein Files than the public does.

    You have Laura Loomer blasting Trump, Fuentes blasting him, Tucker Carlson...doing Tucker Carlson things that are batshit.

    There's a lot going on right now with the arguably fringe types (Tucker, Fuentes, Loomer, MTG, Boebert, etc.) that has to be setting off alarm bells for the RNG. These are people that were ride-or-die with Trump just a year ago, and he could have been killing kids on 5th Avenue, and they'd be explaining why it was a good thing, and now they look like they are trying to peel off chunks of MAGA and form something outside of Trump's control.

    Shit, Tucker Carlson was basically talking about taking over the GOP.

  6. In a 180 degree turn, the US has been lobbying EU member states to not support the use of Russian frozen assets to support Ukraine’s defense. Given the release of the new US National Security Strategy, which demonizes the EU and takes the Kremlin’s position on a number of important points, I predict that it’s a near certainty that the EU will effectively confiscate those assets very soon. Nothing better to get the EU moving more than being abandoned by its biggest strategic ally.

  7. Trump is going to try and destroy Ukraine and NATO. He has Don Jr. out there spreading disinformation.  I hope someday we see what Putin has on him.

    it's easy to understand. The woman felt disrespected. She reacted back, as disrespectfully as possible. Happens on this board all the time. Would love to have seen the interaction before cameras came on

    It's 2025. There is no way a white person can be "disrespected" and drop the n-word and state on video that you are a racist and come out of that situation with your reputation and job intact.

    Her stupid fucking fundraiser said she's "hardworking" but she's a 43 year-old working the counter at Cinnabon, so I think somewhere along the line this thought crossed her mind

    "UT is known for many sports, but one taking over college campuses is sperm racing, where sperm samples compete in a microscopic race to raise awareness for fertility and sperm health in men. UT and Texas A&M students will compete against each other in Austin on Jan. 30 for a $10,000 cash prize"
