  1. I would suggest not being in the getting caught up with what athletes think business, or you're usually going to wind up disappointed.
  2. But a Republicans--and now MAGA--are really good at eliciting emotion, and here we are.
  3. Yep. Anyone telling you this was an election about policy is full of absolute shit. Hard to foresee any future election being about policy.
  4. Also, let's be honest, what would a wildly popular left wing podcast even look like?
  5. We just had the right wing ecosystem create a story out of thin air about legal immigrants stealing people's pets and eating them that made it's way to the Presidential debate. And you want to talk to me about balance and leveling. That's adorable.
  6. I was thinking about something just like this yesterday. I guess every Democracy has to go through their own Brexit (sometimes multiple times), and let the far-right/populist take their shot.
  7. ...so he could spread orders of magnitude more of it in your favor. Yeah man, we get it.
  8. Seriously. They're are a bunch of things to mock liberals for right now, but thinking we got "gaslit" into being optimistic about our chances for our "team" in a game where Vegas had the opponent favored -1.5? That's dumb. Nervous optimism isn't the same thing as being convinced it was in the bag. Even Stephen Miller, who has access to the internal data, was freaking the fuck out with the percentage of woman voting over men on Tuesday. No one knows shit until the votes are counted.
  9. I'm 100% stealing this. Sorry, not sorry.
  10. Feel free to take them to court. Nothing has been stopping anyone from trying to make a shit ton of money off of all the "MSM lies" if they so desire. I wonder why they haven't tried...
  11. Remind me which is those willingly paid out three-quarters of a billion dollars to settle a case about knowingly lying because they knew the final verdict would have been even worse. You may not like them because they're mean to you, but they're at least loosely bound by what they can and cannot say. Nothing from the right's information sphere shares those concerns.
  12. We can build up our own disinformation infrastructure, but we're going to need a lot of help from PornHub!
  13. No, what we need to do is have another talking head try to corner a Republican politician for not being able to answer "was the 2020 election stolen?" as some kind of gotcha moment. Doing that multiple times a week has been working out great! People definitely care about the truth.
  14. If they're not super offensive, who gives a fuck? Were you under the impression that they weren't going to gloat and rub it in everyone's faces?
  15. Having these sentences back-to-back is utterly amazing.
  16. We'll see. I bet those seats fill up pretty quick. Last time, there were at least attempts made--as incompetent as they were--to create a normalish, functioning government. This time, it's going to be a Trump government through and through. We'll see how much they actually care about the "fit" on an appointed position vs. will you do whatever Trump needs in the moment.
  17. Among the base? None. They lack the intellectual honesty. Things can't possibly get bad enough for self reflection. But pretty much everyone who voted for Trump for the first time? Good luck to you.
  18. Yes, but their great fitness and independent success is just a coping mechanism for their debilitating mental health. /a very serious person
  19. If I'm being honest? Yeah, kinda. Certainly no Brad Pitt, but being of direct Norwegian ancestry has its physical trait advantages. But who gives a flying fuck except for miserable, angry little trolls?
  20. Pace yourself, friend.
  21. [Johnny viciously insults women's appearances unprovoked for multiple hours] G650 and I: "Uh, since you keep bringing it up, remember how unattractive you are?" Johnny: "Oh yeah! Well I look really good now, and I bet you guys are the uggos!" You're so thin-skinned it's hilarious.
  22. When Macklemore is closely following you and immediately giving all of your posts rep, you know you went and done said some dumb stuff.
  23. I mean this respectfully, but you are way out of your element. There are valid arguments out there for lessening our involvement in Ukraine, but you are absolutely not making them.
  24. You would prefer they would have already died fighting because they had shit supplies? There was no scenario where they were surrendering to Putin peacefully and living under his thumb. Again, we're not actually losing money supplying Ukraine with weapons. Like it or not, it definitely doesn't hurt our economy. I agree that Russia poses no military threat that to us. Had Putin stayed in his lane, we would have just continued our adversarial relationship, no problem. But invading another sovereign country is frowned upon these days.
  25. Sorry. Putin is absolutely our enemy and actively wants to destabilize us (and Europe), and is making ongoing efforts to do so. Better?
