This is not the farthest or hardest home run ever hit. But I believe that it is the home run most murdered relative to the player's ability. I don't think it's possible for George Springer to hit a baseball harder than that. Pissed off at the misplay in centerfield, 95mph fastball belt high and just on the inner half, unloaded with everything he had, and just the sound the contact made told you it was gone. Ball hadn't even cleared the infield and there was a fist in the air from this young lady (this post is also doubling as an imgur test):

 

 

edit - dammit imgur

The firework exploding where it did and when it did, was also just a cherry on top of an already historically epic home run.

STOP ACT? These people are so creative!

 

He seems to think that laws need to be passed to make this illegal. I assume it is already illegal and UP TO THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH to enforce the law. 

He takes his hands off the wheel, punches the accelerator, and announce in firm, manly tones that the car is out of control. The obstructionist Democrats in the back seat must ACT! No more delay!

In the front seat, Pence sits bitch and smiles while Sessions shakes his head and looks out the window.

Her odds of being killed by an incel terrorist are still far lower than being hit by some asshole blowing through a redlight or some bitch messing with Facebook on her cellphone while driving.

But Trump said MS-13 is going to kill us all anyways.

Guys, guys.

QAnon is just a symptom of a larger problem in the right wing media.

 Outfits like Alex Jones, alt-right media, NRATV, and other internet hate groups target vulnerable people and fan the flames of their pre-existing grievances.  It pushes people to become more radical in their ideology.  Yeah, they were already crazy but they weren’t dangerously crazy.

Do we really need to go over how active measures works again? 

Alex Jones is going down before our very eyes.  The Sandy Hook lawsuits are happening right here in Austin this month, and they very well may destroy his empire (well he fucked up by destroying evidence).  But even if the lawsuits don't take every last cent of his money or put him in jail for destroying evidence, he's lost YouTube, twitter, Facebook, etc., and he needs those for the revenue.

Hell, he put out messages about a civil war happening last month, before all of the social media platforms took him down.

He is the guy who was pushing these people's buttons for 20 years.   His followers harassed the shit out of the parents of dead kids, and he was able to snag an interview with Trump in 2016.

Where the fuck are his followers now?  The one time he legitimately needs them to do something other than buy male vitamin supplements or cases of beef jerky, they are nowhere to be found.

Maybe, just maybe, they've decided they wanted to keep their jobs or keep living in their parents houses.

And I wouldn't count on these people doing much, if anything for Trump.  They seem like the type that probably don't even vote. The moment one of them does something to truly embarrass Trump at a level that he can't ignore, he'll start trashing the shit out of them.

Q may only be able to pull from a limited set of Americans, but I'll be damned if the number of people who buy into "Nazis were Socialists" and "Democratic Socialism is the same thing as Socialism" bullshit isn't exploding.

There are a lot of really fucking stupid people out there.

I think you might be missing the bigger picture.  Even when the really bad shit happens I won’t be able to draw a direct line to Alex Jones or Qanon but I know this widespread undercurrent of hate think and propaganda has  a devastating effect on society.  I just wish the thought leaders on the right did a better job of cleaning up their trash instead of playing along/embracing/defending it.  That part of the equation is new.

I am pretty sure Melania is playing the longest game, and we are not paying attention.  Between her rickrolling the GOP convention and trolling her own husband with #BeBest, I feel like we are all missing something.  I kid of course, but I do like to see that she is in IDGAF mode at this point.  I hope it escalates.

She's in self-preservation mode. She didn't want that fuckstick to run in the first place because she was the only one with foresight to see what would happen. Her best interest is to dump trump on the curb and try to get away. Then again, where can she go? She's probably constantly trying not to lose it every time she's on camera

I'm willing to take one for the team.  I've had better.  I've had worse.  Either way...give me the time and place.  I kind of insist on wearing a condom though.  I mean her husband didn't know the difference between HPV/HIV and barebacks pornstars.  I highly doubt they fuck much, if at all...but that's not a risk I'm going to take.

There’s a reason why the younger queen in the Disenchantment animated series (Matt Groenig of Simpsons/Futurama doing it for Netflix) is based on her.  She literally slithers around behind the back of the fat, red-headed king.

Doesn't take book smarts to see he is a complete moron that would be a nightmare at President.  I think she knew it.  As to the plagiarized speech...  I'm sure she had that written for her and the idiot who wrote it plagiarized it...or it's possible it wasn't an idiot, but just someone who wanted to set her up.  She probably realized this moron surrounds himself with complete fucking garbage, and it would lead to serious problems going from the private sector, to the very public realm of Presidency.  Again, I'm not saying she's Rhodes/Book smart.

I've seen no evidence of her being street smart either. I think she found the idea of being First Lady pretty damn attractive. It makes her the most successful gold digging trophy wife in history.

I think you're giving her too much credit. I just don't see it. I think she fancies herself as a modern Jackie Kennedy. I think she's been living in a fantasy world for 13 years. If she had the sense you suggest then I think she would've dumped his ass long ago.

Nah - prenups hold up if you dump someone too fast.  And you can bet Trump's ass had an airtight one - the air starts to go after you've had kids (Barron) and it's been more time.  Then even with a pretty solid prenup she'll get good money.  She's still biding her time.  She's a me first person for sure, but not nearly as stupid as many think.  She tends to keep her mouth shut - that right there puts her pretty far ahead of all the other bozos surrounding the orange turd.  She also may or may not be trolling the dotard, but either way she doesn't toe the line on all his BS like everyone else in the inner orbit.

Maybe. I don't know which one of Trump's ace lawyers drew up that prenup. I just never saw anything during the campaign to suggest she wasn't totally into it.

This is actually something I learned in the Dirty Money episode I talked about earlier: that there are a shit ton of people who just want to be told something, anything, to make them feel better about their wretched existences.  I think growing up in the bubble of Austin insulated me from a lot of realities about living in rural America.  A whole lot of our country is void of opportunity and full of extremely poorly educated people.  I'm convinced this all stems from a lack of education and I'm not convinced that it isn't by design on some level.
