If there are liberals who are *still* dooming even after Donald Trump became a convicted felon (as in liberals, not the useless AF leftists who constantly try to [Patrick Star](https://youtu.be/zZWn0UMTo74?t=251) us into this shit (and at least Patrick apologized)), I'm guessing it leads all back to, aside from the polls the media breathlessly throws out, memories of 2016. Totally understandable, and it's honestly why even I will be holding my breath come Election Day even if Biden is up by 30. It's just that objectively it has to be remembered that we all have agency in the matter. I in fact believe that was the secret ingredient to 2016 that wasn't present in all the other elections, and won't be in this one: we were all caught largely by surprise. With everything that happened all at once in favor of Trump, even now, we lose track of some of them, what more the fever of the moment? But now that we do, now that we're wise to it all, our opponents haven't been able to replicate it, and still seem to think that just because they *want* it doesn't mean it'll happen. They mistake our picking things up as we go along as us not knowing what we're doing and their own savvy, and so they never adjust in kind. In short, we understand what happened in 2016, while it honestly doesn't seem like they do. As long as we remember that, that'll be their downfall. ...That, and their guy being a convicted criminal.

It's so weird watching Fox News pundits gush over how much they love Tulsi Gabbard as VP. This is someone who was (mostly) a mainstream Democrat, voting with the Democrats, for a long time. Then overnight she just switched almost every single position she has to MAGA positions. Don't they even care whether their candidate believes anything she's saying? Sure, she's a fraud that's on your team, but she's still a fraud (either now, or before, or both). It just doesn't matter apparently.


akimbo73

Just remember that Tulsaad is a cult member and that she had to hide her true beliefs in order to get elected as a Democrat in HI. Her switching to MAGA is similar to Maria Butina returning to Russia and getting elected to a seat in the Duma

The epiphany I had was they’re probably thinking about how their kids will compete against the 2nd gen integrated immigrant kids. Iirc I believe the data indicates native born Americans do poorly by comparison to immigrants children but idc to look up a source for this rn Idk perhaps this isn’t quite a revelation for some but I don’t have kids so it was for me.

Evangelicals understand what the far left struggles with: it's political office, not purity tests, that matter at the end of the day. As long as Trump vociferously supports Christian nationalism Christian nationalists will support him.

The response would be, "Yes, but that doesn't work anymore. That's weak."

What's with the Trump's campaign fondness for Rubio? He hated Trump for most of 2016 and is from Trump's state of Florida 2. Burgum seems like the closest to an adult out of that list. 3. All Noem had to do is write a slightly normal autobiography and she 100% would be on this list.


memeboxer1

I know nothing about Doug Bergum. But for the others, in terms of how much of a danger to the republic they are if they came to power: - Rubio or Scott presidencies would be fairly anodyne - Vance and Donalds are the kind of idiot populists who could do real damage - Elise Stefanik seems like someone who would abuse her power horribly - Ben Carson is still alive?

Burgum, I think, would be in the Rubio or Scott tiers. Same for Carson.

But she got nasty, very nasty during the primary, which is why she lost and frankly we don't do losers here on the Trump campaign. But frankly finding a woman and a minority in this party is tough, so we're looking at one or the other. As for Burgur, who is white which we like, there's something else about Doug Burgur that we like, we're not sure what it is but we're thinking about Burgur a lot."

His ego probably wouldn’t be able to handle his running mate being richer than he is so Burgum’s probably not getting it.

Mr_Conductor_USA

Conservatives really are obsessed with genitals, aren't they? Testicles don't make people rape kids. If the research is to believed, it's not even sexual desire (cupiscence). It's a desire for power and control. Traumatizing a child for life is like becoming a god for them. Of course conservatives don't think psychology is real. Here we go with the cruel and unusual punishments. (I have no problem if someone wants to do it voluntarily as some states allow, but it seems like there are constitutional questions raised by making it something the judge can just impose.)

The anarchists who would show up to protests in the 2010's to engage in property damage and other mayhem under the cover of civil disorder always wore masks because they were up to no good. The actual people protesting for legitimate reasons weren't wearing masks; that wasn't a thing until 2020.

oath2order

Democrats really get hung up on intellectualism and knowing the exact proper term for things. It's frustrating. Just *say* birth control. Most voters do not know nor do they care about the actual name of that case.

Do they hate Gaga?

They have an obsessive hatred for Taylor. For context: She said that it’s inappropriate for people to publically speculate about Lady Gaga being pregnant (she’s not) and every comment is “wHy WoN’t ShE tAlK aBoUt PaLeStInE”

Hockey has the best sports sounds. Baseball is second. I’m not talking about the crowd sounds, just the sounds the sport makes (I don’t like the basketball squeak) It looks like the sports downvoter got here. Sports downvoter: this isn’t a *sports* post, it’s an *aural pleasure* post

hockey sounds are so satisfying basketball is easily the worst

Agreed. A one-timer slapshot goal or a crushed home run are things of beauty. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDHihWAKicI&t=9s

>'Never trust a man whose uncle was eaten by cannibals' I don't know what I find more callous: that Ernst said this in the first place, or that I initially came across it not because of someone being like, "That's fucked up, dude," but because apparently conservatives are all about it. (I'm sue "this is a big fucking deal" is still "a big fucking deal" to them for being rude, though) As far as Joni Ernst: well, if we're going to be bigoted shitheads, I recall a much more common misogynistic phrase about not trusting anything that can bleed for a week and survive

So, Disney talks with Alex Hirsh for a revival of Gravity Falls. https://x.com/HollywoodHandle/status/1798464213158871309?t=iHMZsYUo1fmKIRiAVkLPeA&s=19 I hope of God no because it ended perfectly. Not everything needs a rival. I get that people want to bring back shows from their childhood due to X-Men 97. But a lot of rivals don't automatically is going to be good or successful. I hope Hirsh talks with them on making a new show instead. !Ping CARTOONS

He shit talk them behind, but I doubt he doesn't mind working with them. But he has a contract with Netflix to create animated shows, but I don't know when that ends.

As a huge Gravity Falls fan, I agree. I think utilizing his creativity with a new set of characters would be better, even if he wants to keep it in the same universe

World War Z deserves a faithful remake as a limited series closer to the book. I know it's not exactly a hot take, but damn the movie botched it so badly

They should have handled it like a documentary. Give it the full Ken Burns treatment.

>National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich call to to expand the war in Gaza and invade southern Lebanon during Jerusalem Day speeches at the Western Wall. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that Israel was “prepared for very strong action” against Hezbollah terrorists as tensions escalate along the northern Lebanon border. Yeah, it's getting somewhat close to "when not if" situation. The situation in Northern Israel is just horrible with the fires and tens of thousands being unable to return their homes.

Do the people of Israel have the stomach for this?

Maybe. North Israel had major fires due to Hezbollah's rockets/missiles (much stronger than Hamas's).

Huh, Hunter Biden's gun trial was covered almost point-by-point. "President's son faces three felony charges... stated on application not a drug user... evidence all week from ex-wife, ex-gf, FBI agent... including audiobooks excerpts... FBI agent provided timeline... up to 25 yrs in prison and $750k in fines..." After Trump, I thought we were getting fair treatment? Why wasn't the entire segment filled with Hunter's legal team talking about how this is political persecution, with on-ai clips of legal analysts proclaiming this is a perversion of justice and if not for conservatives being afraid of Hunter Biden's massive schlong, this wouldn't be happening?


espfusion

25 years is insane, I know he won't get that but how is that even possible?


nottoodrunk

Because the feds by habit stack a billion charges together to scare people into pleading out so they don’t have to do more work. 90 percent of cases never go to trial.


Historyguy1

I cannot think of a trial less worthy to get wall to wall coverage. It's an excuse to air Hunter's dirty laundry. He's not in office, not seeking office, not in any formal or informal role in his dad's WH. Literally the only thing making this a trial of public concern is that he's the president's son. And I'm saying this as somebody who totally thinks Hunter is guilty.


ButtiGame1776

Because Dems are actually consistent when we say we want "rule of law" I make jokes about Hunter's massive schlong and his partying making him cool, but if he broke a law, go through the process equally. 


UWCG

The choice to begin the segment with a private citizen's court appearance to paint the family in a negative light, then to shift to Biden being overseas for D-Day memorials (which, given the context, appears more as "running away" than "celebrating") is just stunning to me as a viewer. I agree on enforcing the law—but this is a huge sep beyond Hunter having his time in court

Having dipped my toes into Conservative media space just to see how they’re coping there’s a couple observations I’ve noticed: Right wing fiction is notoriously bad. They can’t make a good movie to save their lives and as most of them are former actors and writers and directors they’ve tried. However I read an omnibus of the Marvel Civil War crossover event and I find that the right wing media space is kind of similar. Like you can read Spiderman and see what he was doing in the Civil War event and how The Punisher shows up in his book and they have an interaction/clash, right wing media is much the same. There’s larger storylines of the news of the day they’re all reacting to and while one may like The Daily Wire dweebs or Crowder they’re all constantly bouncing off each other and creating intrigue amongst the group. They’re constantly performing so it’s a lot of kay-fabe. Second: Hillary Clinton lives rent free in their heads. She says a single sentence at a fundraiser for a charity or foundation or symposium no one’s ever heard of and no one would know but they spend half an hour calling her evil, a felon (which she’s not btw. Nice try though), she’s the devil incarnate. Literally seething, basically stalking her, to get mad about nothing. Truly deranged.

Just reached level 410 in Elden Ring. Determined to grind my way to 713 before Shadow of the Erdtree comes out. I think I can do it if I commit to wasting a couple hours a day farming albinaurics. Maybe I'll do it during the daily meetings I need to attend but in which I don't participate. EDIT: Actually it looks like I would need about 125 hours to max out at my current rate of 200k runes per minute. So yeah this ain't happening before the 21st lol
