What's going to happen? Is Putin pulling the strings? If that the case a German government that is pro-Putin will be the biggest target in central Europe. The British and the French, regardless of their own internal politics, will probably not permit Putin to get within a 100 miles of the Rhine.

It's astonishing that it appears enough people are perhaps ignorant of electoral logistics.

It would take a simple Majority for the Dems to pass the articles in the house, and 67 votes (a 2/3 super Majority) for removal. Exactly how difficult is that to understand exactly? The math ain't there. Unless and until you enable the Dems to do the full deed, you're yelling in a hurricane.

"iT wUz JuSt A jOOOOOOOOOOOOOOkE!" Okay, what's the joke? What's the comedic premise behind the joke? Cuz from where I stand - IN the city of Los Angeles, btw - it sure sounds like the comedic premise is "Trump and his supporters hate my city and want it destroyed, end of premise."

If you are encouraging a woman to change her behavior to prevent her from being raped, you are really saying "make sure he rapes the other woman." There will always be a woman who is less sober, less secure, w/fewer friends, walking in a darker part of town. We should all want her safe too.

As always there are 4 main problems with Trump's vote suppression schemes 1. He can't do anything quietly 2. He does not have enough goons 3. He risks screwing over his own voters 4. Messing with the results would be guaranteed to destroy his own legitimacy

Good point. WWE management is petty and vindictive when it they sign talent that got over in other companies. Mariah May was reduced of doing house shows in Florida upon arriving in the WWE.

🚨 ENDORSEMENT ALERT 🚨 Chancleta has been endorsed by a family of three random raccoons who saw him from outside. One of them even stood on our patio chair on two legs, like a person. This is incredible news for Sandal's campaign to represent whatever it is he is running for.
A mock political endorsement graphic on a blue gradient background. At the top left is a photo of three raccoons beside the words “A FAMILY OF THREE RANDOM RACCOONS.” Below, red text reads “PROUDLY ENDORSES,” followed by “CHANCLETA” in large white letters. At the bottom right is a large photo of Chancleta, an orange-and-white cat looking directly at the camera.

The mainstream media has never really held him accountable for anything he said because of ratings. During the 2016, he mocked a disabled reporter, and CNN kept showing empty podiums at his rallies.

Probably burned my remaining bridges in the business, but I recently put out a statement regarding the increasing use of “generative AI” in British indie wrestling.
I’ve seen more and more promotions and wrestlers using generative AI, some of whom I work with, and I want to make something VERY clear: 

I do not give anybody permission to use my likeness in any AI-generated posters, promos, clips, etcetera, and I consider any such use to be a personal and professional violation. 

Do not feed me to a tech company’s algorithm. They’ve stolen enough of my writing and video material for their “AI training” already. That’s how Alleged Intelligence works, by the way - it’s a plagiarism tool, regurgitating every shred of “content” fed to it. 

Leaving aside the horrific impact AI data centers have on the environment, you’re not creating anything by typing prompts into a box. Why should anyone be impressed with some cool photoshoot, promo, or move when you didn’t really do it? At best, Alleged Intelligence is self-insert reality fanfic and it makes wrestling truly live up to its reputation as fake. 

I won’t try to sway you away from it, but I hope you reconsider and really look into AI. Whatever you do, leave me out of it. 

Commander Sterling.

This is precisely what I have been trying to hammer home for all those people who proclaim that Americans will just stupidly elect another Trump in 6 years. Donald Trump largely happened thanks to a perfect storm of factors that nobody else in the GOP can really replicate

A big reason Donald Trump worked so well was because his style of politics was perfectly tuned to the clickbait outrage culture of the modern internet coupled with his uncanny ability to know how to harness that outrage into fuel.

For ppl that are younger/less tuned in, its hard to drive home just how visible a public/pop culture figure Trump actually was. He was a mainstay on tabloid covers. He was in a fucking Pizza Hut commercial. He cameoed in Home Alone 2. & this is all well before he had a decade plus run on network TV.

I think we'll have bad political moments/figures in the future, but he is kind of this uniquely destructive manifestation specifically bc he came up by dominating an older form of mass media and had successfully parlayed it into a newer form too. A true avatar of the last stage of boomer culture

My thoughts on this re social media, politics, & the future are yes they will continue to be messy bc of social media, but also for the US specifically I think Trump is kind of a singular TV/social media straddling figure that we are unlikely (knock on wood) to see to the same degree going forward.

A big part of why a lot of the warnings on Trump being a threat to Democracy have often struggled to break through is because he doesn't square with the usual image of an insane dictator Americans typically think of.
