  1. George Washington would drown you in the Delaware for even pretending to believe any of this shit.
  2. This really is a phenomenal read, for anyone who hasn't already clicked.
  3. I actually think this is the biggest issue currently with Gillis, from both sides. I think where he is most comfortable is to be the contrarian voice in a room full of left-leaning people. You see this dynamic, and him thriving in it, in his early specials. The times are currently too polarized however for a nuanced viewpoint like this, so he just gets written off (or embraced) as MAGA... and people go into his sets already having decided whether or not they will like him based on this conclusion. I get the mantra that "a man is the company he keeps" and he hangs around some of the worst dudes on the planet, but if you listen to what he actually says in jokes/interviews and the endorsements, etc. that he HASN'T done, I think the label he has gained as a MAGA mascot is more due to our country's inability to handle nuance rather than a reflection of his actual beliefs. I can tell you that I saw him last year with what was a VERY obviously right-leaning crowd, and he seemed just as uncomfortable as that SNL performance.
  4. Miles is the only evidence anyone needs to support the claim that the government is actively trying to destroy public education. Absolutely nobody involved thinks the man is doing a good job, except for those who actually have the power to fix the issue... if they wanted to.
  5. In a vacuum, a supernerd gaining the confidence over time to do something like that is wholesome and admirable. I just wish I didn't know the rest of the story here.
  6. These guys have completely forgotten who they work for, or at least who they are supposed to work for according to the constitution.
  7. Edit: Misread, whatever
  8. Trump isn’t the issue. It’s the army of morons across the country who have no moral compass other than “whatever he says, I agree.”
  9. Affirmative action, CRT, woke, DEI. Every few years, Republicans repackage the exact same “the reason your life sucks is because of THEM” message into a new boogeyman, and dumb motherfuckers like you continue to buy it every goddamn time.
  10. Today is a turning point, but not in the direction I suspect you desire.
  11. I don't want to have the conversation on whether or not Trump is a legitimate undercover Russian agent. I do want to have the conversation on what a legitimate undercover Russian agent would be doing differently than what we've seen over the last month+.
  12. His tweet immediately after leaving. Gotta respect the passive aggressiveness.
  13. Rhetorical question I know, but can anyone honestly articulate what we are standing up against?
  14. What a disgrace. Words cannot express how badly I wanted Zelensky to ask where Elon was during that exchange so that he could speak to the real President. (Also, I wonder how many Americans truly realize that if WW3 does break out because of this, we will be part of the Axis this time.)
  15. Someone needs to do it already.
  16. Wayyyyyy more physical strength in this cast than they’ve had recently, which is a welcome change. Purple tribe gonna dominate until they switch things up. The autism scene between Eva and Joe was one of my favorite interactions I can remember on the show.
  17. When asked by a reporter whether he still believed Zelensky was a dictator, Trump responded: “Did I say that? I can’t believe I said that. Next question.” https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5167646-trump-zelensky-dictator/
  18. https://awfulannouncing.com/nfl/justin-tucker-denies-sexual-misconduct-allegations-outkick.html
  19. This should be a radicalization, line-in-the-sand moment for any of the people who have been yelling about child trafficking for the last few years. The fact that we all know it won't be is such a glaring admission about how that "movement" is rooted purely in partisan politics and not a genuine desire to address the issue.
  20. Shit needs to start burning.
  21. Two states where the best football teams in the state are overrun with “college prep” private schools over public schools, i.e. the exact thing everyone is saying will happen here.
  22. I know this is a troll, but I really don't think the average American is prepared for what is coming with the combination of 1) total Republican control and 2) the growing "fuck 'em" sentiment of average Democrat supporters. The demonization of the Democratic party has made most Republican supporters completely unaware/incredulous of how many times Democratic policies genuinely helped them over the last few decades. They are about to find out.
  23. The long period of "watch for Joseph leaving," then the out-of-the-blue promotion immediately followed by him leaving for a job with the same title has me wondering if the promotion last week was a favor by Sark. Maybe I'm an optimist.
