  1. Honest question: any potential blowback if/when UT caves to the admin's ultimatum on allowed speech?
  2. imma, do a brain exercise with me. Think back to a year ago. If I had told you the following: "Trump's going to win the election, and, within a year, the National Guard can and will be spun up to occupy any Democrat-run city at the President's will. ICE will be indiscriminately gathering people up and attacking them on the streets solely by race (with Supreme Court approval). Openly daring someone to fight back, so things can be even further escalated. Habeous corpus and due process will be ignored as humans--illegal or otherwise--are sent to 3rd world prisons to be tortured or disappeared. POTUS, in plain words, will declare Democrats the enemy of the nation, and political violence by the right is justified to to stop their radicalism. The media will capitulate at every step of the way, lest they be punished or removed. And Trump would still win a national election if it were held Nov 2, 2025, all while clumsily hiding his involvement in a pedo sex ring." You would have told me to get ahold of myself and stop with the hyperbole, yes? Shit, I'd be telling myself that a year ago. So what are the things that you're going to be asking us to not overreact to at this point next year? When everyone just sits back and expects things like norms and precedent to eventually hold [narrator: they won't], incompetent and stupid can accomplish a hell of a lot through force, lies, and shamelessness.
  3. You may want to brush up on how sloppy, aimless, and dumb early Nazis were. It took a bit to get the wheels churning, after "normies" just accepted that this was the new normal now, and competent people, looking out for self-preservation, were absorbed into key positions. I tend to avoid the Nazi comparisons, but, holy shit, the parallels are there. If there was anything resembling an actual opposition or any heinous act that could drop administration approval comfortably below 40%, we'd be more optimistic.
  4. Again, what does working mean to you? When has reality and data actually mattered to them? It's all a show of power and testing what they can get away with. So far, the answer is pretty much anything.
  5. What does "working" mean in this context? The administration is successfully proving everyday that they can do just about anything with impunity. I bet they're even a little surprised about the lack of pushback and how utterly hapless Congress and the judicial is. It's only going to get worse--they're only going to get bolder--yet their approval is unlikely to ever fall below Biden's. Seems like it's working just fine.
  6. Hopefully that wasn't Ruben Gallego's quote verbatim. Yikes. Missed the landing on that zinger.
  7. It would help if the two programs that most recently fired Mack didn't turn around and hire the worst possible coaches imaginable.
  8. They're so arrogant and untouchable that they don't even bother to turn off their body cams anymore.
  9. Going to need a LOT more dudes like this who are willing to get fired to slow this shit down.
  10. I want to know what happened to Taylor Sheridan that he went from writing female characters like Olsen and Emily Blunt in Sicario to...literally every female character since.
  11. There is way too much optimism here.
  12. I mean, they probably are, but good on them to keep it on the down low.
  13. There's literally no propaganda or AI generated bullshit that chickensandwich won't immediately believe. It's fascinating.
  14. Lando only picking up 12 points in the last 3 races where Oscar finished 3rd, DNF, 4th has to feel brutal.
  15. POTUS clearly stated that one side's political violence is absolutely justified. If he doesn't care, why should we?
  16. To be fair to Musk, every computer in popular science fiction does that.
  17. If your blackout drunk persona is angry and violent, then you shouldn't be getting blackout drunk. \Captain Obvious My blackout persona is dumb as a box of rocks but oddly charming.
  18. The regime is eagerly awaiting when they do to justify even worse. We're fucked.
  19. Psychopath shit.
  20. god damn everyone's pretty deep into the bottle tonight
  21. #70 catching strays in here
  22. None of it matters. They're so openly brazen about what they want the fictitious propaganda narrative to be and what actions it sets them up to take...it's almost impressive. The brown shirts roaming the streets, beating people with clubs, were more subtle than this.
  23. Damn! Extrapolate that out!
  24. As soon as the one filed by Alexandra Saint Mleux is official.
