I had to look it up too. “A slang term among Zoomers and Gen Alpha, mostly used ironically in Brainrot and Slang Overload memes, such as the Ohio Rizz Gyatt trend.”

You think this is a half assed remake? To me this feels like a significant upgrade (and not just to graphics) while maintaining the core experience and I’m kinda shocked at how good it is.

I’d imagine a lot of Filipinos voted for Trump too.

Doubtful in Vancouver.

Wait 612 years and buy Microsoft.

And boy it sounds expensive.

Catholic Trumpers agree with her. They hated this pope.

This just in: The United States is a wholly owned vassal state of Russia.

I’ve seen this movie before.

It is, as we have noted, all too possible to see in this case an incipient crisis, but it may present an opportunity as well. We yet cling to the hope that it is not naïve to believe our good brethren in the Executive Branch perceive the rule of law as vital to the American ethos. This case presents their unique chance to vindicate that value and to summon the best that is within us while there is still time.

You stupid motherfucker, you and your kind caused this. Sit there and act like the Executive are a bunch of civil-minded policy wonks instead of a bunch of deadly jackbooted criminals empowered by YOUR GODDAMN RULINGS. What a load of horseshit.

I think we may have to agree to disagree, but I don’t think having the Marshal Service, which is run by the Executive, issue them a subpoena is what I would call an “enforcement mechanism” that could “lead to a lot of death.” It is nothing more than something for the Executive to tell the Marshals to ignore and barring that, for the Executive to ignore itself. There is no “enforcement” here. Judicial has recourse against you and me (it can have the Marshals jail us for contempt - unless we are under the protection of the Executive), but not against the Executive. The only recourse against the Executive is impeachment and conviction from Congress. End of story.

They’re not defying Trump, they own Trump ffs. There is no useful mainstream media.

And of course whatever they want to be true will be true.

It the right really comprised 100% of self-loathing homosexuals and their beards?

MAGA people can’t feel shame over any of this, they are incapable. This is a wealth and religion thing, you’ll notice MAGA people are nearly universally either wealthy, religious or both.

Particularly in America (because of the historical confluence of wealth and religion) these two types of people don’t experience shame the same way normal people do. Wealthy people’s sense of superiority over their position in society has bred in them the notion that shame is for their lessers. The richer they are, the worse this is. Religious people feel that nothing in the world is more righteous than sticking it to nonbelievers and no effort put forth in pursuit of that goal can be considered shameful. In fact, the opposite. In any case their shame quotient is sodden with their own repressed sexuality.

You might think you do, but the stock market is wholly price controlled. Even the Great Recession will never happen again. The market is controlled by huge banks and hedge funds using HFT algorithms and dark pools. Price means nothing and big drops are in any case performative.

The following weeks will demonstrate this, as the bounce(s) will take back the great majority of the perceived losses. Behind the scenes, of course, these same institutions love being given the opportunity to display this performative disapproval, as they make untold fortunes using the stock market as their own personal pump and dump.

Anybody notice that Trump doesn’t give the Scaramucci treatment to people in this go-around? He was hiring then firing left and right in his first term, but this time around - nothing.

Talk means nothing, look at what he does. All his actual actions benefit the Kremlin and serve to further it’s goals. Words do not inflict sanctions, and repeatedly saying shit while doing other shit just makes it seem like the Kremlin is looking for plausible deniability for their puppet. Wake me up when anything at all has been done that materially damages Russia or Russian interests, because that right there will be a fucking news story.

Christel Schaldemose, a Danish politician who is a center-left member of the European Parliament, said the way the U.S. has been talking about the E.U. in general lately is “not helping.”

“Could we start talking to each other as allies and not enemies?” she said.

No, Christel, because we are fully a Russian vassal state now. Our corrupt, craven politicians were so consumed by their own uniquely Christian lust, greed and fear that Putin was able to fully and completely own them all.

I never understand it when this argument is made. It assumes that there aren’t entities out there making $0 on the common cold that would refuse to take the absolute fucking windfall that would be generated if such an immunization were to be brought to the market.

Like “oh, you know, we’d like to make this immunization and make billions of dollars ourselves but these OTHER guys are already making billions of dollars and we sure wouldn’t want to step on their toes.”
