Star Trek fan, amateur WWII historian, comic nerd, miniature hobbiest. I used to care a lot about politics, but I’ve given up now. Don’t tell me who won. It will spoil the ending.

Trump: [convicted of rape, 34 counts of fraud, and handles Top Secret documents like an old cat lady hoarding newspapers] WaPo: {breathlessly} Is there still time for Biden to step down!?!? Democracy didn’t die in darkness. Bullshit is what killed it.

Remember when W bombed his 1st debate against Kerry? Remember when Obama bombed his 1st debate against Romney? Remember Trump bombing his 1st debate against Biden? Every president seeking reelection bombs their 1st debate. The public neither cares nor remembers. Only pundits care.

“Solicitation” versus “services rendered” is a hell of a hair for the court to split just for the sake of plain sight public corruption. It was a nice democracy for as long as we were able to keep it. It will be missed.

Obviously here in the south we only know history if there’s a statue (I’ve been assured this is the primary way in which knowledge is transferred). So no.

It’s like always say, “Haters gon hate. GOP representatives gon hypocritically violate their own morality rules but receive immediate forgiveness because they hate the same people you do.” Yeah … I don’t get a lot of slogan work.

Conservatives: “Small government!” Also conservatives: “Let’s weaponize the entire government to publicly shame and humiliate a single human being going through the most private and personal thing of their life! Not because it impacts us in the slightest, but because we hate it. Also cut my taxes.”

There’s been a real shittification of advice in the last couple of decades. Buying your first home articles are now “rent too high? Consider this free cardboard condo under the overpass!” Not enough money to retire? Consider dying younger! Fix global warming? Nah! Here’s how to not die in the heat!

First Blood - “We didn’t treat our veterans very well, and even in the heartland where you’d think they’d be welcomed they treated him like a vagrant. And when you train a man to do only one thing, and strip him of his dignity, there’s consequences.” Part II - “YEAH! FUCK NAM! WOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!”

I should specify the topic of conversation was about the unjust loss of freedom. In that context I would argue the type of confinement is irrelevant other than the magnitude of the injustice.

I once had a guy argue “you’re talking about jail, not prison,” and I’m genuinely surprised this is not the same guy. Like there’s some kind of Parsing Police out there walking the beat.

Coupled with the Southern Baptist Convention ratifying a ban on IVF, prepare for a resounding chorus of “don’t be silly! We’re not coming for IVF!” right before they make IVF illegal.

Apropos of nothing, but I had a coworker whose teenage son went to see Lincoln thinking it was AL:VS. He came home so disappointed saying “it was so boring! There wasn’t a single vampire! It was such a ripoff!” not realizing he’d seen the wrong movie. 😂 It’s one of my favorite stories ever.

If by “interesting” you mean “telling,” then I’m inclined to agree. MAGA types are always asking “where are the blacks Republicans!? We’re the party of Lincoln!” like Hayes’ Compromise of 1877 never happened. The lack of knowledge of history must come from a lack of Hayes statues in the south.

This is the most government had been for sale in my lifetime. Started with “Corps are ppl.” Straight line from there to multi-million $ escapades for Supreme Court justices, pols “reimbursing” themselves bogus campaign loans. Soon DJT stock manipulation for favors. We’re porked.

“Capitalism > Democracy” ought to be the GOP’s entire 2024 convention platform. I’d disagree with the message, but at least it would be honest.

Tesla is the B-29 of cars. Once ahead of its time. Rushed into service. Too many people died as unwitting test subjects. But at least the B-29 ended WWII. Teslas are just killing for the sake of killing. Skynet never needed to try to hard to kill us off. We’d do it ourselves apparently.

Do you think she shows those off on a first date? Like how a friend of mine does with his Star Wars action figure collection? You know, just to get it out of the way? “And this is the room where I keep my jars of human fetuses. It’s important to have a hobby, don’t you think?”

It’s actually incredibly easy to track as evidenced by all the conservatives that Red State authorities keep rolling up for voting twice. They let them go, of course, bc they’re the “good ones,” and they’re only doing what the Dems have been getting away with for centuries (evidence schmevidence).

You mean the one where the police responded in riot gear and Trump literally deployed the 82nd airborne to crack heads? The one where 14,000 people were arrested? Yeah, thanks for making my point for me, genius.

Anyone else notice that when conservatives protest they’re allowed to sack the Capitol building, run protesters over with cars, or just shoot them dead and the police don’t do 💩. But if three hippies camp in a park for Palestine the cops opening gambit is “fuck it. Roll tanks.”
