  1. Well shit, the trailer is already getting me choked up.
  2. The guy who produced Katie Perry's 143 is also MAGA.
  3. I always thought Jugdish was an under-the-radar party animal.
  4. Weird that you're going to be thinking about another woman during a trip to London with your wife. Everything okay at home?
  5. Charlie Kirk: "Imagine all the people (except for Blacks, women, Jews, Muslims and LGBTQ), sharing all the world, you hoo oo."
  6. I'm not celebrating. But I'm also not canonizing him. And discussing his racist, bigoted, and sexist views -- which were a large part of his identity rather than some harmless off-the-cuff isolated remarks -- is entirely fair game, even on the day of his death. And I have no reason to doubt that he was a good and loving husband and father, and showed kindness to those in his personal and political circle. I don't know him, but I've never read otherwise. However, he chose a public persona and pulpit to spew divisive, demeaning and hateful shit that went so far beyond what his loyalists want to label as conservative policies that big bad universities are stifling. He doesn't get a pass on that just to allow his fanboys a day of grieving. And when yesterday I first saw a comment on a Facebook post comparing his death to MLK's assassination, I thought that was a ridiculous isolated comment. But holy shit, that sentiment has a MAGA tidal wave behind it. And those crazy fucks are even saying Kirk was better than MLK because he never cheated on his wife unlike King the womanizer. Hey, if you want to compare personal lives, fine. I recently read the Pulitzer Prize-winning King: A Life, and along with MLK's greatness, the author also writes pretty extensively on King's infidelities, which were exhaustively taped by Hoover's FBI. If you're going to tell me that Charlie Kirk was a saint who never even thought about a woman other than his wife when he masturbated, okay, I'll assume that's true for this discussion. But however virtuous Kirk may have been in his private life, he chose a message and a movement of divisiveness, hateful, sexist, and antisemitic rhetoric, and a complete lack of empathy. On the other hand, King, for all of his extra-marital affairs, had a consistent mission and message of equality and justice, dignity for every human, love (even for his enemies), and maybe most remarkably, nonviolence, even when others in the Black movement toward the last several years of his life were pleading for him, "King, we need to consider some motherfucking violence!" Back to your post. I'm not happy at all that Kirk was gunned down. I'm sad for his widow and kids, and that another person yesterday was senselessly killed by a gun. And to honestly voice my selfish political reason for being angry at his murder, I'm fucking pissed that someone decided to kill a MAGA figurehead when it's only going to further enrage and energize that sad faction of our country. So we're not celebrating his death (well, at least I'm not). We're just honestly examining his life.
  7. Charlie Kirk: “Good morning, young college student. Could I interest you in some racism and bigotry over a cup of coffee?”
  8. Charlie Kirk is dead, and that is a tragedy. But he is dead because he had no code, he had no honor, and God was watching.
  9. Except now we have a federal government that will support the South, probably even take up arms in its defense.
  10. I'll be there again on Saturday. By the way @immamac, the very nice lady who scanned the QR codes for my tailgate pass said there was no record of my purchase, even after using my name to look it up. I overheard others having the same problem. Just giving you some feedback.
  11. This is a simple truth. The Epstein shit is the stuff of MAGA/QAnon's wet dreams, and Donald Trump's emergence as Epstein's close friend, cheerleader, and most likely accomplice and client, is like a bucket of cold water on that wet dream.
