  1. Exactly. It’s not even just Trump or the Republicans that those countries don’t trust. It’s us. Trump is shit. That’s known. He’s been a colossal failure everywhere he’s been. He specifically was a shit president during his first term. That’s known. He should never have been elected again. In a country of rational, thinking people who actually pay attention to shit, he never would have even been nominated in 2016 and at the very least would have been primaried in 2020. But we don’t live in a country of rational, thinking people and it’s gotten to the point where it’s highly destructive. This past November, he was reelected largely because of voter apathy, the fact that 1/3rd of the electorate seriously believes in this asshole, and above all, the sub-demographic of independent voters who thought they were so fucking smart when they uttered the fatal 5 words that election is always going to be known for: “but the price of bacon.” Each person who said that shit is fundamentally untrustworthy. They are as trustworthy as MAGAts themselves.
  2. You’re a fool if you believe Iran has even the slightest capability to do that.
  3. Yeah because no one gives a shit about what Iranians are good with more than the Pahlavis
  4. This is probably the least surprising aspect about this whole thing. I was going to go off on a rant chastising the few Trump supporters, in their abject mediocrity, who still post on this particular forum…but I stopped when I had to remind myself “that’s a harsh insult to the concept of abject mediocrity.”
  5. There will be a few strays here and there and that’s the point. They’re counting on the idea that some egregious case will pop up and that’ll be the latest national distraction.
  6. Probably the least shocking story of the year. Par for the fucking course
  7. They’ve been a train wreck for a long time. Every time they use the phrase “the rise of a new antisemitism,” Tinkerbell dies.
  8. It’s a good thing this slap fight is taking place online because if it was in person, Trump would be Felicia and Elon would be Patricia
  9. You haven't heard? Elon is one of those "I'm actually one of you" billionaires. What? You didn't know that was a thing?
  10. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/may/27/former-israeli-pm-ehud-olmert-says-his-country-is-committing-war-crimes “Never since its establishment has the state of Israel waged such a war” You know shit is bad when the guy behind the fucking 2006 invasion of Lebanon is saying this.
  11. It’s rooted in a much broader concept. It’s rooted in the idea of kicking down at people you perceive to be “beneath” you. This is probably the last worthwhile New Rules segment Bill Maher did before succumbing to insanity.
  12. Only on St. Swithin’s Day
  13. You mean this group of farmers?
  14. And even the smarter apologists engage in that shit eventually. In fact, since no one else has claimed it, I'll take credit for naming a mirror image of Godwin's Law Hpslugga's Law: As a discussion regarding Israeli foreign policy goes on, the temptation to accuse the opposition of antisemitism increases, particularly when logical arguments are dwindling.
  15. Which again just proves what's been undoubtedly true since no later than 1973: When the US government is talking about "antisemitism," that's just code for "opposition to Israeli foreign policy, especially in the Occupied Territories." That's all it's ever been.
  16. OP aged like a fart in a non-functioning elevator
  17. lol “stability”
  18. You actually think you’re doing well so far
  19. Wouldn’t bother. The guy you’re quoting has a fantastic history of parroting bullshit regarding this exact issue.
  20. Oh he’s been doing that for years. Here’s my problem with the take he expressed on the video: 1. Maher himself once said that if this whole thing by Trump is an act, he should stop it. 2. The guy we see in the rallies, videos, newscasts, etc is the one his congress follows. He’s the one for which all these ridiculous pieces of legislation are written. They’re not written for the measured guy Maher is describing 3. The guy we see is the one the SCOTUS is constantly bending the knee to as it cedes its soul vis a vis these horrid rulings for which they’ve become notorious. They’re not doing that for the measured guy Maher is describing. 4. The guy we see is the one proposing 3rd terms, tariffs on everything, tax cuts for billionaires, gutting the government, all this anti-“woke” stuff, etc. That’s not coming from the measured guy Maher is describing 5. The guy we see is the one his idiot voter base follows, not the measured guy Maher is describing. That’s what matters. The fact that he was cool with Maher for 2 and a half hours in almost total privacy? Does not matter at all. And that’s what people hate about the guy. When Maher says “this is why the democrats are unpopular,” no, you fucking dipshit. People from the left loathe the democrats because they’re a right-leaning corporatist lot that is constantly screwing over the working class and has been doing so slowly for the last 50 years. People from the right loathe the democrats because they were conditioned to do so by AM shock jocks and cable news blowhards. There are people in this country who seriously believe no more sacred duty exists in your political life than to hate the democrats, and it’s precisely because people like rush limbaugh told them to. It has absolutely nothing to do with “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
