    Man, for some reason the women bother me more. 

    Same here, for me it's the whole trad wife bs and their hypocritical cross necklaces.

  2. I can't explain it but I've just got a very strong feeling this young lady's got some severe comeuppance coming down the pike at some point.

    These pieces of shit think Dump's inexplicable invincibility will protect them too, but it will not.

  3. Setting aside all the bad shit this bill will do to the poor and middle class, has anyone seen any attempt by the Rs to justify the tax cuts for the rich or explain why it's necessary right now? From what I've seen they don't even bother to explain or justify that. Has any journalist pressed any of these fuckers why that's a priority? It's surreal to me that they get away with not even having to convince anyone that their evil plans are good. Our entire system is broken.

    This is just copium on your part. Almost every article that reported on this poll has used a headline to the effect that AOC is the face of the party. But fine let's bring this back to Pete Buttigieg. He got 5% (tied with Hakeem Jeffries).

    So why are we spending so much time pretending Pete is this generational political superstar when despite all his media hits and Fox News debates and town halls he can't get even one fifth of AOC's share in this poll?

    I truly believe Pete would poll much better if his surname didn't start with Butt and wasn't impossible for anyone to confidently pronounce. Seriously - the electorate is that dumb.

    I think Pete is by far the most qualified candidate.   I also think he has about a snowball's chance in hell of winning a general election.  Our electorate is bigoted as fuck.  A black woman and a gay man are DOA in a POTUS election. 

    ANY woman is DOA, unfortunately and unbelievably. It's a shame because we're going to run AOC. She'd be the best thing to happen to the presidency and country in decades, but there's basically no chance. The drooling idiots of this country can't imagine a woman as president and it scares them. 

    I'd be a lot more optimistic about a gay man's chances, actually.

    Democrats are finally fighting back:

    https://www.semafor.com/article/05/30/2025/california-opens-inquiry-into-paramount-and-trump

     

    The California State Senate has invited two former top CBS figures to testify in a new inquiry into whether the network’s parent company has violated state laws against bribery and unfair competition.

    Paramount offered President Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign $15 million to settle a lawsuit filed against CBS over a lightly edited interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris in October, the Wall Street Journal reported earlier this week. Trump refused the settlement, threatening to file an additional suit against the company, seeking federal approval for its merger with entertainment company Skydance.

    The settlement talks have infuriated many staff members at CBS as well as many national Democrats who believe that Paramount is caving to pressure from Trump to settle a frivolous lawsuit.

    In a new letter sent May 30, the chair of the California State Senate Energy, Utilities & Communications Committee, Josh Becker, and the Judiciary Committee chair, Thomas Umberg, invited former 60 Minutes producer Bill Owens and former CBS News president Wendy McMahon to testify in an upcoming hearing on the recent proposed settlement of a lawsuit.

     

    The California Democrats, whose party controls the chamber, said the hearing would focus on the incident “and this matter’s potential impact on the competitive marketplace, media sector, and rule of law in California,” adding that it wanted to focus on whether the company breached fiduciary duties owed by Paramount board members to shareholders, misused corporate funds vulnerable to shareholder derivative litigation, or violated federal anti-bribery laws and California’s Unfair Competition Law.

    “This inquiry is therefore not only about one company or one lawsuit, but about protecting the integrity of California’s communications economy, ensuring that public-facing media enterprises compete based on content and quality, not influence, capitulation, or political appeasement,” the letter said.

    The letter continues: “Perhaps even more concerning is the potential chilling effect of Paramount’s settlement on investigative and political journalism. Such a settlement would signal that politically motivated lawsuits can succeed when paired with regulatory threats. It would damage public trust in CBS News and other California-based outlets, diminishing the state’s stature as a national leader in ethical journalism. Paramount’s capitulation would also undermine two essential pillars of a liberal democracy: a free press and an impartial, rule-of-law regulatory system.”

     

    Insane it took this long for anyone to lift a finger about this brazen bullshit.

  7. Joe Scarborough said that SCOTUS will reverse based on congress delegating the power to trump...by not passing a joint resolution to stop the tariffs. I'm just about done watching "the news."

    But sometimes he does though. See him telling Wal-Mart to "eat the tariffs", as opposed to raising prices. I think like everything else they're just what he wants them to be in that moment.

    I'm not sure that means he understands; he may just think Walmart is trying to recoup the tariffs they're paying him by raising prices.

    Only a true waterhead could believe for a fraction of a second that hundreds of people were buried in marked graves straddling the sides of a goddamn road. 

    There's no way I can keep my sanity through 3.5 more years of this fever dream.

    I mean....it really is astounding -- and I say this as a fucking cynic of the highest order -- how fucking quickly our entire government and political culture went full-on "unabashed evil racist." 

    holy-shit-damn.gif

    And that's exactly why we're finished as the leader of the free world regardless of what happens. It took like 60 days to undo 80 years of work. Few things could be more dispiriting.

    Zero kidding here -- I'd absolutely prefer Col Jessup.  Because, while he was completely wrongheaded about it, his motivation at least included a genuine goal of protecting the country.  Col. Jessup wasn't looking out for Col. Jessup (well, not only looking out for himself), he genuinely intended to serve the greater good, even if his vision of how to do so was twisted.

    There is not a single atom of Donald Trump that is not singularly focused on feeding his selfish ends.

    Jessup was also competent.

    Yeah. A 30% tax on tons of imported goods. Awesome.

    And that is during the 90 day "pause"

    What are we supposed to accomplish in this pause? Is that when businesses are going to invest billions in US manufacturing to try to avoid the tariffs that are totally coming back in 90 days you guys!

    The only thing the pause seeks to accomplish is the stupid American public forgetting what this tariff thing was all about which will help dotard paint himself as an economic hero when he proclaims the return to the status quo ante.

    This dude is an absolute dipshit. Imagine how gotdamned stupid you have to be to worship this cumstain.

     

    There's no chance trump has any idea how to define "neurotic." I'd wager he thinks it has something to do with thinking about porn.

    Things are not okay and this is the sort of bullshit that reflects poorly on the entire legal profession. Why are we not hearing from lawyers up in arms that their profession is being trashed by bad actors all over the place in this regime? Instead we see firms bending the knee. 

    A lot of us are up in arms about the whole country being trashed by bad actors all over the place in this regime. And we post about it here, in this very thread even.

    And you have to bet he didn't even think of the shit they'll have to do to it to make it AF1 capable. We're talking 10s of millions of dollars, if not more. I'm sure if it was up to him, he'd just take it as-is and not worry about any security issues/flaws. He's that fucking stupid.

    I'm sure the slimeball has thought about how to profit bigly from the retrofit. He's certainly got some epic graft planned for that project and planning on selling the classified technology in the plane after it's conveyed to his library.

    How is Pam Bondi, an attorney formerly (assumption that it’s formerly, it would not shock me if it’s currently) on the payroll of the Qatari government writing opinions on the legality of accepting a 747-8i as a gift not a conflict of interest? We keep being told that the legal profession isn’t in any sort of ethical crisis and they police themselves.

    I'd be shocked if it's not "currently."

    He's not. 

    He knows he is catering to people who are intentionally lazy with regard to information, and therefore dumb. 

    Look at what he wrote... (paraphrasing) 

    "The defense department is getting a gift airplane for free. Democrats would rather pay top dollar for it. How stupid is that?" 

    Easy message. 

    "They're eating the pets." = "Savages" 

    Easy message. 

    "We are going to pay less for drugs and Mexico is gonna pay for it."

    Easy message. 

    This is the thing he's done his whole life. He's pretty fn genius with word delivery. It's probably just a natural trait that manifests as talent, but that's what genius is. 

    Underestimating the effects of his word salads is what got us here. 

    I can't believe I just read someone call dotard "a genius with word delivery."

    Being fluent in stupidity does not make one a genius.

    He might think it easier to get something done with the dumbass simply because he's not Congress and he's malleable as hell.  But likely anything emanating from the executive on this is going to be damn near useless and unenforceable.

    Oh yeah the whole thing is a lock to be a total clown fire dumpster show. Everything Trump touches dies.

    Maybe needs a thread of it's own, but Trump starting a collegiate athletics committee using Saban as leader seems pretty bad.  I can't understand Saban working with Trump after he supported the BLM movement, and he seems like a pretty good judge of character, take Sark for example.  The billionaire oil guy from Tech I get, he and Tuberville seem to be great examples of Trump lackeys, but Saban just doesn't fit.  Maybe he's so worried about his legacy he will do anything to kill off NIL and the portal to make sure all the schools in the future play can't eclipse his records?

    Be interesting to see how Abbott accomodates this, or if he just starts working to overturn NIL

     

    If I'm Saban I feel like I could pretty easily justify doing it out of love/concern for the sport regardless of any loathing for cheeto.
