  1. Dems first have to develop strategeries to avoid chronic rake stepping. Then they need to develop strategeries to avoid screaming "white privilege" into the faces of poor white people who are a paycheck away from homelessness. Then they need to develop strategeries to quit alienating young men while promoting equality. Then they need to develop strategeries to reconnect with and listen to working class people. They need to develop strategeries to avoid social issues while focusing on economic ones that benefit the bell curve of Americans. They need to develop strategeries for how to connect with rural America and make them feel included in Democratic governance. They need to develop strategeries for how to make people who are no longer consuming traditional media aware of these efforts. And then, for the love of God, they need to develop strategeries for how to not nominate fatally flawed Presidential candidates that a majority of voters are going to reject for a cataloupe. In short, Dems have driven many people to "the cult." They need to develop strategeries to stop that, first.
  2. Overall, 80+ percent of Republicans hold a somewhat or very favorable view of Trump. Meanwhile, here’s how the alternative to Trump is polling generally among adults. I mean, I hope you are right. I just feel like when all is said and done, MAGA voters are going to largely get back behind Trump.
  3. We need a "You poor bastard" emoji.
  4. I'm not sure "democratic party" isn't just fatally toxic as a brand at this point.
  5. All these educated journalists and psychologists with such keen insight into the inner workings of the MAGA psyche and what is or isn't a bridge too far.
  6. I kinda feel the same way about this as I do the white's only community of racists that have sequestered themselves into a compound in the middle of no-where Arkansas. WHAT!? You are saying I could be wrongfully slandered and removed from the pool of potential mates for women who would use an app to slander men they've dated?
  7. That's Marjorie Taylor Robbie </no-cr>
  8. Until someone wants to be the Jackie Robinson of Aryan, Arkansas, it's just some goofballs with a commune and a desire to be known. I mean, they engaged a reporter. So they could look into a camera and say, "You are not welcome here." Who's the "You"? I saw no lines of non-white people looking to integrate into their community of "Deliverance" LARPers. These guys are thirsting for relevance, maybe to attract like minded people, maybe to normalize the concept, maybe to provoke a response that gives them increased notoriety or makes them martyrs. They are just desperate for attention. Why give it to them? By all means, go and enjoy your shanty town of racial purity. You can call it Utopia. I'll call it the Aryan nation reservation. Moving on...

    Ozzy has passed.

    The AI art of the Prince of Darkness ascending to heaven is a bit much, but this made me grin. I think Ozzy would appreciate it.
  10. I can't decide if I like #OzarkAlcatraz or #NutriaAlcatraz better. Someone help me out.
  11. Prove it.
  12. We live in the fucking boonies and have StarLink. It's undergoing a major outage right now. It had been literally flawless the last 10 months. https://www.reuters.com/technology/starlink-says-it-is-experiencing-network-outage-2025-07-24/
  13. When Vince McMahon kicks it, that’s when the AI welcome to Heaven memes will be truly funny.
  14. Why yes, yes we are. Enjoy! Ok, the previous one was me. Here’s the first legitimate one from the wild.
  15. We’re going to have to suffer under a wave of AI generated memes of Hulk Hogan being welcomed to heaven by Ozzy Osbourne, aren’t we?
  16. If the public comes to view Trump's involvement with Epstein's pedophilia affairs as much of a given as say OJ murdering his wife, I am 100% certain congress/SCOTUS will say, "ok sure - any non-pedophile Hitler will do." They will support further moves toward autocracy/fascism/demagoguery to escape their own culpability in the whole affair. The coverup at that point will be for everyone who turned blind eye to what they put into and kept in power. We're still a long way from the public viewing this as much of a given as OJ murdering his wife, though.
  17. Funniest part of this is Cartman's voice for Trump. Like Trump is just an older Cartman.
  18. This isn't bad advice, but.... I'm pretty sure you were looking at a glowing screen right then, man.
  19. Alex Jones is not metal af.
  20. Are you implying he would have gotten away with it, too, if it wasn't for Covid-19 Liberals The Deep State Obama Biden Hillary Pelosi Kamala his meddling base? I dunno, I think he'll figure out the right "these are not the pedophiles you are looking for" Jedi mind trick soon enough.
  21. This is the CR thread, so consider where we are making drastic changes/cuts... FEMA: helps citizens survive disaster NOAA: helps citizens be prepared for disaster CDC: helps people survive diseases and pandemics FDA: ensures our food and drug supply are safe for human consumption USAID: helps impoverished/desperate people worldwide It seems like we are already acting on the conclusion that unbounded population growth is no way to run a sustainable planet. On the plus side, job market contractions from AI automation won't seem as bad when you also are contracting the pool of human workers needing jobs.

    Ozzy has passed.

    Yeah, I was not a super huge Ozzy fan. Black Sabbath was mostly before my time, and I was always more interested in the guitarists on Ozzy's solo albums than I was in Ozzy himself. So since the news, I've been trying to pin down what made Ozzy the popular icon he is. For someone who represented a musical genre, he really didn't do much to define it. I mean, he didn't have an objectively great singing voice. He didn't compose the music or write the lyrics that were responsible for this new musical genre and which made him famous. I think he maybe only came up with some of the vocal melodies in his Sabbath and solo catalog. Musically, he was a front man in the most cynical use of the word. A figurehead who attained heights with a lot of others creativity doing most of the heavy lifting. And he had this whole career outside of making music that was engineered primarily by his wife. So what made Ozzy an icon? Ultimately, I think it was that Ozzy was Ozzy and nothing more or less. The Alamo-pissing, bat-head-biting Prince of Darkness. And people of a certain age and social standing loved him for it. He was the square peg to society's round hole who really had no capacity to be anything notable in established and traditional ways. So he lived life without much regard for if or how it might line up to anyone else's expectations and damn if he didn't wind up digging himself a hell of a square hole to exist in. That's something that resonates, man. Timelessly, across generations. Its the struggle of all young people coming of age and wondering how they could possibly become anything of note in a world that they seem to live on the fringes of. If Ozzy could do it, they can do it.
  23. Gilmour and Waters are probably going to live forever trying to see the other die first.
