    Was going to post this in Daily but then it most likely would be deemed "political". I would get the aniBlinkingEnvelope.gif so decided to post it here. Funny how posting about bat shit crazy is political but here we are.

    A sheriff, a felon and a conspiracy theorist walk into a hotel. They're there for the same conference.

    The Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association is urging lawmen to form posses, seize voting machines and investigate baseless claims of voter fraud.

    LAS VEGAS — A conference for a far-right sheriffs group this week drew a parade of felons, disgraced politicians, election deniers, conspiracy theorists and, in the end, a few sheriffs. 

    The Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association, or CSPOA, met in Las Vegas’ Ahern Luxury Boutique Hotel conference center to publicly counter reports of extremism within the group and set a course for the coming election — one that involves sheriffs’ investigating what they claim, despite a lack of evidence, is rampant voter fraud. 

    The group sees sheriffs as the highest authority in the U.S., more powerful than the federal government, and it wants these county officers to form posses to patrol polling places, seize voting machines and investigate the Democrats and foreign nations behind what they claim is a criminal effort to rig the vote by flooding the country with immigrants who vote illegally.  

    Critics of the group — including voting rights advocates and extremism researchers — fear the CSPOA’s new focus will amount to interference and legitimize disinformation about U.S. elections. 

    But the event Wednesday, which starred MAGA celebrities speaking to a half-empty audience made up of few actual sheriffs, pointed to just how fringe the group’s ideas are — and how what once seemed like a movement on its way into the mainstream has lost political pull.

    * i don't actually know if you do, but fake 'caring' about others is a prerequisite for that club, and since you can't even muster that im going to assume no. so you've got that going for you, which is nice. 🙄

    Better than Dune 2?

    NO.

    but it was really really good. i'm kind of surprised at how unique it came across for a 'war movie'. so intense! felt very...economically shot? like nothing was wasted. the "Breakers Roar" fire ride was something else, wow 🔥 that whole sequence was beautifully and tragically shot.

    the soundtrack was outstanding.

    and less than two hours so nobody can bitch about that 😄

    I can see Dunst getting an Oscar nod. Everyone was excellent in their roles.

    100% agree on Dunst. Plemmons continues to nail small but critical roles, especially psycho-Matt Damon roles.

    to repeat everybody else...no politics, no idea who the 'good guys' are, everybody loses their head in war.

    Not for mouth breathers

    you'd be surprised... several of our resident rightwingers/conservatives (by god don't call them MAGA bc magically none of them actually support[ed] Trump, uh huh) have slipped up in other forum threads and admitted the economy is doing well under Biden. 

    not that that will actually impact their vote, god forbid 🙄... but it's amusing what they will admit outside CR.
