  1. Okay, as far as blatant trolls go, he's far better than most. Kind of entertaining and hitting literally ALL of the most laughable GOP talking points. B-
  2. Regale me in the tales of all Donald Trump and his children's merit-based achievements.
  3. This is an outright, easily provable lie. You know it is, too. Why do you continue to propagate it, even as an anonymous voice trolling on the internet? What do you get out of it?
  4. I don't watch the news. I watch Candace Owens. Jesus. Every fucking time.
  5. Some locker room shenanigans before women got all woke with their #metoo shit? No problem. Holocaust denier? Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Slavery was, at worst, just a big misunderstanding and, at best, pretty great? Sure, I mean that's just logic. Habitual Nazi sympathizing? Well, if you don't believe in the Holocaust, Hitler was a pretty swell guy. Stepping out on your pregnant wife? She was probably being a bitch. Admitting to watching trans porn? GET OUT!!
  6. You're one of my favorite posters period, but you definitely have the top spot from Sept-Nov every even year. Spreading the positive--but data-based and completely realistic--vibes. Harris is more likable AND, if polls hold, will be viewed as far more likely to win. A lot of independents will feel the natural pull to be a part of the winning team; others will sit out because they don't want to emotionally invest in a probable loser, and the alternative of getting to self-congratulatory proclaim, "I didn't vote for either of those bad choices" in two years is pretty appealing.
  7. 60% of the country legit hates this dude, but we still have to sit here for another 6 weeks biting our fingernails. What the fuck man.
  8. I'm here for when he turns from "one of the good ones" to [insert your hateful stereotype here] overnight in the eyes of Republicans.
  9. This would be a truly shocking development. That there's something bad enough a Republican could do for his colleagues to ask him to drop out of a competitive race.
  10. Very surprisingly good. A pretty blatant Jack Reacher knock off: ex-military bad ass literally stumbles into small town conspiracy and corruption. But it's a pretty tried and true formula. Beats their usual action movie approach of grossly overpaying some A-lister to mail it in for 117 minutes.
  11. Parody account.
  12. God, shut the fuck up for once in your life.
  13. Honestly...more measured than I was expecting.
  14. Well I'm sure that this will be handled with logic and restraint from those on the right.
  15. I'm sure the usual actors will be along any minute to chastise Elon for his rhetoric that revs up the crazies and puts elected officials at risk.
  16. It doesn't even have to be that extreme for the people who default to "everyone is a Nazi to the left." Almost everyone acknowledges that these two statements are unequivocally true: Russia (the real Communists) want to destabilize and weaken the West, particular America. Russia desperately wants Donald Trump to be the President of the United States. ... ... ... ...connect the mother fucking dots, people!
  17. It's fun to think about the absolute destruction that the Trump circus has caused to everyone in his sphere over the past 8 years. Losses of careers, bank accounts, dignity, marriages, respect of their children, non-incarcerated statuses, ability to practice law, etc., etc. Him more than anyone:
  18. I bet they told the same, "Don't worry, it's not structural" joke to everyone who ever saw it.
  19. I'd argue that it's a chicken or the egg thing. CC didn't draw the resentment and ire of the league because she's white, straight, apolitical, and really good at basketball (the WNBA has had plenty of players that mostly fit those descriptors). She drew their resentment because of the media attention and hype that surrounds her...which was amplified, in no small part, because she's the white, religious girl from middle-America. Let's be real (and you know this), a player who looks like Simone Augustus would have to average 50 points a game to get the same media coverage, transcend sports, and attract the attention of non-sports fans the way Caitlin has, especially in the WNBA. Players understand that and resent her (unfairly) for it. Much like Steph who, as good as he was and is, gets more love because he's the baby-faced guy who mentions God every 5 seconds that he wouldn't get if he looked like Allen Iverson.
  20. Shit, you don't even have to go that far back to find a comparable example in the NBA. Some of the best players in the league and the old guard were some bitch asses when Steph became the talk of league around 2014. Basically boiling down to getting too much attention without having any real skins on the wall, and a general scoffing at the idea that they were about to change the game. It took until 2022 for him to fully shake the overrated/over-hyped sentiment. While race/class did play some factor (light-skinned rich kid), it was more just pettiness from players--current and retired--about the media and fans giving the new kid, the new generation too much shine. It's probably more pronounced with Caitlin because she's the middle-America, religious white girl--and brings in some of those fans who wouldn't give the slightest of shits about the WNBA otherwise--but the resentment would still be there if she was a black media darling being hyped up to dominate the league straight out of college.
  21. Oh hooray, another round of "Both Sides are Basically the Same" Always a classic.
  22. I wholeheartedly agree! We should be making it more difficult for people like these to legally get their hands on guns.
