The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread
Nice Guy Eddie replied to Horn Dog's topic in Cloak Room
Vivek is the political version of the person that wants so badly to get invited to a party where the other party-goers don’t want them. Very sad. It’s not impossible for him to get elected but his complexion and “challenging” name will be a tough sell to some republicans. Maybe those voters wouldn’t vote for a white Dem over him but most likely they would just stay home. I could see him as a mayor or maybe as a congressional rep for the right district. Ohio governor? I know he’s neck and neck with the primary polls, but I just don’t see it. if Trump was willing to campaign for him, maybe that could get him over the finish line but Trump hates picking close races. -
I assume th creation of a Trump battleship is only to humor him. The navy spends a few buck to produce a desktop model so Trump can show it off to every visitor along with the future AF1. “And this is where all the missiles shoot out of the front.”

If you’ve ever worked on a project where a leader or sponsor wants the team to do the work in a certain, and the team members do not want to do so, every decision gets punted to the leader. I would also guess that plenty of FBI and DOJ agents or lawyers are personally documenting their days and who told them to do what. Hopefully we get a future AG that isn’t merrick garland and we learn the truth of Trump and team acted about Epstein docs.

They're governing like there will not be a next election. You only need to start making the case that the next election will be rigged by your opponents so therefore we have to temporarily pause elections. Even Republicans that realize this is bs will not speak up because they will want to remain in power. You might actually get someone like Rand Paul to disagree but he wouldn't actively do anything to stop it. If Dems overperform in '26, Trump will use that as grounds that the fix was in. Perhaps disband Congress as invalid and that he will get back to us when he has a new plan about future elections.

The vast majority of Americans, clamoring for more US manufacturing jobs, have zero desire to work those jobs themselves. Or Dave Chapelle put it more succinctly, "I want to wear Jordans, not make them." If these jobs are brought here, the manufacturers will start to complain that they need more immigrants to work them.

Charlie Kirk got ded, Erika Kirk grifts in place
Nice Guy Eddie replied to msbesq's topic in Cloak Room
They used to like to use terms like Judeo-Christian or traditional values to lock in with their crowd. "If you know, you know" type of statement. Now it's like f-it, lets just say vote for the white guy. -
Former Sen. Doug Jones is running for Governor of Alabama
Nice Guy Eddie replied to Gil Bang's topic in Cloak Room
SMH at how McCarron references Coach Tuberville in his statement. Since when did Coach become a higher honorific than Senator? Also you have to wonder if its a coincidence that AJ received a head coaching job from a football league co-owned by Fox News. He has zero coaching experience. -

I know this isn't breaking news but it does seem that JD is setting up the 2028 race as a referendum of white people vs everyone else. -
I'm buying any of her bs. It's the opposite. She is going to kill any story. Weiss is being paid to not care about what anything thinks except for Ellison and Trump, and Ellison believes whatever Trump wants. Her one hour special with Erika Kirk was laughed at by everyone in the media, no advertiser would pay normal ad rates, and no one watched. Weiss didn't care. It probably made Trump happy and that was the only thing that mattered.

Most likely after seeing the questions from CBS, the Trump administration called David Ellison the owner of Paramount/CBS. They would have asked him how badly does he want HBO. Ellison then called Weiss to bury the story. She's being paid by him to take the abuse. Weiss wouldn't bat an eye if the entire 60 minutes staff quit. If Weiss is going to set the bar that only new stories about the Trump administration are allowed, then they're basically not going to cover Trump and the white house.

Not necessarily related to this exact situation but Trump's lawsuits and withholding of mergers does create an atmosphere where news orgs have to take his response into account. News orgs can defy him but they run the risks to do so. It's very likely that Netflix won't be able to buy Warner Bros/Discovery because they don't want CNN but Paramount does. And Trump would love to make CNN and revamping of its coverage as part of his approval of an acquisition.

SIAP but I’ve also seem commentary about the pressures of writers in Hollywood. Writers room have gotten smaller. If you get in a room instead of a 9+ month gig writing 23+ episodes, you write a few months for 8-10 episodes. I imagine execs ask showrunners how they’re attracting different audience demographics. The cast and writers’ demographics come into play. News orgs have been drastically shrinking and asking more of writers. As in several stories and social media posts every day. And colleges have been focused on more adjunct instructors and not tenured professors.

Ransone was great in The Wire and Generation Kill. His Wikipedia page references some past drug addictions.

Boom. This was better than Miami winning by 20

Agree. Of course most employees self rate as excellent hence why they say they’re just productive at home as the office.
