  1. So, elections and democracy matter again? Cool. That's cool.
  2. Really nice win for Cannonier on the freebie just now. Got lit up by Robocop for the entire first round, then it seemed like Robocop had to start managing his energy for a 5-rounder and Cannonier found his range and won the next two rounds then knocked him out in the 4th. Good scrap.
  3. Right wingers couldn't trust the media because Fox News told them that all other media, the so-called liberal media, was lying to them. Then they convinced people that liberals were "the intellectual elite." They convinced the uneducated that being educated was actually a bad thing, which didn't take much of a push. So, liberals are liars, intellectuals are liberals and therefore liars, and therefore you can't trust any expert on anything. You can only come here for the truth. We're Fair and Balanced. From that point on, the truth for half of this country has been whatever Fox News wanted it to be. And the soccer moms on Facebook who did their research on the shitter that morning perpetuate the bullshit to their echo chambers. Everybody feels good, and validated, and part of the in-group, and see, those other people are idiots for going to college because we ended up smarter than them anyway. And now this mob of well-armed morons is so well-conditioned and intellectually malleable that the bad guys really shouldn't have to worry about any election for the next generation. Maybe ever. Hell, Joe Rogan has the younger generation on board already. I don't see how any of this is fixable. The continued dumbing down of public education all the way up to the university level will shift the numbers even more in their favor. I think we're all going to be old men and women someday lamenting what this country once was, most of us from abroad.
  4. Are we sure about this? I have a good friend from Norway and I dated a woman from Spain. They both indicated that the general opinion in their home countries is that the United States lost its mind somewhere around the first time we elected Trump, if not going back to when we elected W. And I was in London and Paris a couple of years ago, and cabbies were chatting me up with questions that amounted to, "Is the US as batshit crazy now as it seems?"
  5. 70% possession in a 0-3. Christ.
  6. iunderstoodthatreference.gif
  7. Foreigners are bad, mkay?
  8. I mean, I wouldn't say a word.
  9. Trump's dick must look like a little burnt Vienna sausage.
  10. It's amazing to me that they're demanding respect for a renamed body of water, but those people over there who want to be called whatever they want to be called, no, fuck them. The god damned ocean has more rights than women and trans people.
  11. The infuriating thing is that every single Trumpkin understands this in the setting you described, and presumably in their everyday lives as well. Yet the biggest liar in the history of the world has them absolutely spellbound.
  12. There's really no way to tell. She's definitely a lunatic, so she could be making the whole thing up. But lunatics probably get raped as often as non-lunatics, maybe more, so it could definitely be true. If she is a victim, then I feel for her. I feel for her on the lunatic thing, too. But she is also definitely part of the problem. The fact that someone like her is able to get, and probably keep, this much power bothers me more than anything else.
  13. Why, what do you think is in 2028?
  14. 5 possessions on 1 possession and not one good shot got off.
  15. That might have been the worst turnover I've ever seen.
  16. Getting a lot of turnovers, but that probably won't continue. Go hit a 3 and keep this thing close while they're playing sloppy.
  17. Brick a bunny, give up a 3, and all of a sudden on pace to lose by 24. Sounds about right.
  18. No time to research. Fuck's sake, man.
  19. Absolutely. We put innocent Japanese-Americans into camps during WWII. And that version of America was a lot less crazy than this one. For that matter, does anyone think that the average American in 2025 is a better, smarter, less crazy person than the average German in 1935? I absolutely do not. There are no limits to how bad this can get.
  20. https://www.npr.org/2025/02/11/g-s1-48194/pope-rebukes-trump-over-migrant-deportations-and-refutes-vp-vances-theology I bet Lee Greeenwood can get them all pumped up to put a boot up the Vatican's ass....
  21. Exactly. Trump can only trust people who are terrified to ruin him because he can ruin them right back.
  22. Getting rid of a rule that you weren't following anyway is the Trumpiest kind of middle finger, look-what-I-can-do-with-all-this-power move. What a choad.
  23. I had an ASUS desktop many years ago. Used that thing every day for about 6 years and never had an issue.
