  1. Actually kind of brutal for Trump. Lots of people in the Rogan sphere that will just vote for whoever Rogan says he's voting for.
  2. Getting an expired certificate notice when I navigate to the site. I'm sure you're aware but yeah.
  3. I agree with @bolverk's response to this, but I'll add that I find it pretty damned amusing that you have all kinds of smoke for this utterly irrelevant and entirely toothless group of dumb students, and nothing but crickets for the human rights abuses that the IDF is perpetrating, with full throated support (and threats of toppling the government if it were to stop) from certain prominent Israeli politicians. I know that you've since walked back your position that those of us that speak up for Palestinians and criticize the actions of the Israeli government are just antisemites in disguise, and I do thank you for that, but maybe you should reconsider your approach to this topic if you continue to find yourself on the same side as the worldwide reactionary right, and have nothing else to add but drive by shitposts whenever someone posts a tweet from a right-wing rage bait account. It's amazing how this particular subject turns people like him, otherwise great posters, into barely coherent reactionaries. He's not going to respond because he never does when called out (refusing to defend your positions in any way also being a common reactionary tactic), but yeah.
  4. Code switching is basically a requirement to be a lawyer tbh
  5. It's one of the things that led to the GOP trying to get rid of Trump. It didn't work, because Ron DeSantis has the charisma and likeability of a kidney stone, but it was one of his bigger faux pas. More importantly, it's a very easy thing to attack with campaign ads.
  6. Hell, maybe you're right, but it's not like the GOP is above blatant hypocrisy in their messaging. There will be plenty of veiled antisemitic stuff in there, too, that will land hard with the base, but I guess won't bring many (or any) new votes in. Like I said before, nothing he is done is nearly bad enough to make me not want to vote D in November. It's enough to make me side eye him pretty hard, but not much more than that.
  7. Please. It's not the end of the world, he's just a candidate that's much easier for the GOP to message against, and there's no guarantee he would move the needle at all as the VP pick vs. just staying PA governor and showing his support there.
  8. You're such an unbelievable pussy. How do you get this ass blasted about someone making fun of 3 complete losers that don't know or care who you are? It's hilarious when you constantly claim that you're not a GOP dickrider and then you act like a 10 year old when someone makes fun of the party in a way that hits home.
  9. Adin Ross: From Andrew Tate to Platforming White Supremacists (rollingstone.com) He started out as just a normal dumb guy that played NBA 2K on stream but he has had too many controversies to list here and they have gotten progressively worse and worse. He got permabanned for Twitch for showing off all the unmoderated hate speech that was going on in his Kick chat, plus being blatantly homophobic, transphobic etc. on his Twitch livestreams. e: This is ostensibly a huge gift for any media outlet to rip Trump to shreds, like he got clapped for having dinner with Nick Fuentes. I don't know if they'll take it, but it's there for the plucking.
  10. Gonna need to hear more from that one guy about how great a candidate Shapiro is.
  11. If you knew all about Adin Ross, which I as a terminally online person sadly do, this is the least surprising thing he's ever done. e: This is about as dumb and bad a thing for Trump to do as having dinner with Nick Fuentes. Except this one is way more public.
  12. Yeah his support for that shit is incredibly worrying to me.
  13. I still think it's Beshear... He makes way to much sense... and talk of Shapiro / Walz just throwing things off.
  14. Yeah Rex's rich friends are even MORE out on Surly now.
  15. Alys Rivers showed Daemon the Song of Ice and Fire, it's the basis for the whole GoT universe and the same vision that led to House Targaryen leaving Old Valyria and Aegon's Conquest, and the same story that Viserys told to Rhaenyra. If you're talking about Aemond and Helaena and not Daemon....I'm not sure what you're talking about tbh.
  16. She's obviously not Varys, but I feel like you're letting recency bias creep in because she hasn't done anything but yap at Rhaenyra this season. She was great in S1, not a dull scene where she was involved. S2 is nothing but dull scenes for her. A real waste of potential.
  17. I would say Otto Hightower fits for me, but of course he isn't around at the moment. He's about as close as we'll get to a Tywin Lannister type character in this show. Viserys was a good character and a great performance, but he's long gone. I can't fault Emma D'Arcy or Olivia Cooke, their performances are both impeccable. The story and its pacing is what makes their characters suffer. Rhaenys was probably the best character remaining in the show, but also gone. Daemon could be an amazing character if they tried. He was great in season 1, but forgettable this season. Larys Strong started out really interesting but his character hasn't evolved much at all and has only gotten more dull. Aemond could have been a great character but he really only hits one note. Being an angry, overcompensating little bitch driving around a big truck only works if you act like a normal person at least some of the time. Mysaria could be close to as cool as Varys but they don't give her anything to do or any real screen time. Criston Cole is easy to hate, but also boring. He doesn't do anything but act like a tool and whine. Like Aemond, no character depth, completely one note, despite the little speech they gave him in this episode. I think the main problem is there are just too many characters to flesh out in a show they're cobbling together from really thin source material. The true irony is it feels like they're milking it for all it's worth, and yet the timeline is sped up and too much is skimmed over to let us get to know any character really.
