MTV was for fancy people, according to my mom.

How about you get as many votes as the percentage of your income and wealth you pay in taxes, including taxes you pay at the register? The working poor get about 55 votes each, the middle class gets about 40 votes, and after loopholes and deductions and dodges, the ultra-wealthy get half a vote.

In no universe is Andrew Tate comparable to Lloyd Dobler.

Why are pedophile/rapist influencers allowed to be influencing online while incarcerated?

I first started listening to Def Leppard in about 1980. Just got online to confirm that they are, in fact, British. I guess I don't do a lot of deep research on the music I listen to...

Trump: "Why SHOULDN'T the sponsors of 9/11 have nuclear weapons?!"

10 years ago, even an organization conceived for fraud wouldn't have built the word "Greatness" into it. They're still trying to kill satire.

AI sez: Trump made writing political satire harder: a writer remarked that the White House felt like a "rival comedy," where real events would constantly outdo the absurdity the writers were trying to invent. The writers removed jokes because the Trump administration did them in real life first.

Scrolled too fast and thought the vest said IMMIGRATION AND CRISIS ENFORCEMENT

The guy who dyes his hair, wears full face makeup and high heels and spends all his time and energy redecorating is all about "transgender for everyone."

Nice Freudian on the East Wing, since it will be rebuilt by rubles..

I think Gilbert Gottfried should narrate ALL audiobooks.

Many bears have worked in circuses. Raccoons? Zilch. They're more likely to be bank robbers or car thieves, not respectable tax-paying citizens.

"The amended complaint will say the documentary only caused reputational damage..." It's preposterous that the world's biggest liar and convicted felon and adjudicated rapist who is universally regarded as a pedophile until he proves otherwise can claim his reputation has been harmed.

It's like the movie wasn't even made to be seen, but just to trigger the far right.

Bring earplugs. Maybe two pairs, in case you wear the first pair out.

000

Unless whatever number of raccoons you plan on hosting can pay half your rent, your argument is invalid.

"Epstein 'Philes Distraction War" is more accurate than "Iran Military Conflict."

It's the same as, say, having a bear as a pet. It can be done and has been done, but the downsides aren't worth it for normal people with lives.

Wiping out the electoral college would solve a lot of problems.

My brother saw Lindsey Graham in the supermarket about 25 years ago, so he's qualified for the office, right?

I thought the tariffs were on Canadian wildfire smoke. Not sure how it would work, but it sounds right. Two weeks!

000

I think I'm a typical BlueSky user, focused more on politics than sports- is the Wizards team baseball or Quidditch, or what?

000

So weird that Trump doesn't whine about "Sleepy Joe Biden" anymore.

000

Izzat the guy with the dog clones, and he consults them for his economic policy?

000

Wait till you see the crappy AI combover the US president has!

My city banned flock cameras. How would any cameras know who I drive with? I have a 2019 EV car, a 2004 car, and a 1999 car. Are they tracking me? And collecting what information?

220

And how does that affect you?

100

This isn't as great as you think it is, beyond being outdated.

000

That's what you would want, right?

Logic, schmogic. It's about flooding the zone with BS, until nothing factual matters anymore.

Well, if they didn't cut him out of the picture, he would have stolen the FIFA trophy, AGAIN.

050

And he lost the popular vote. And he lost what few remaining shreds of credibility he may have had. And he will be the biggest loser in the history books.

000

One person caught committing election fraud was Donald Trump, when he was recorded asking the Georgia Secretary of State to "find" 11,780 votes to overcome his 11,779 vote deficit. Dimwit Trump thought winning the vote by exactly one vote would be fine with everybody and wouldn't trigger a recount.

Salty snacks are your friend.

We saw the IMAX version, and at 10am (which itself was weird) and it somehow wiped us out for the whole day. Thought the sound was a little overdone. I made earplugs outta my napkin and was using them sporadically. Couldn't find them to put them in once- turned out they already were in.

Well, Trump is doing it to undermine the elections in general as part of his strategy to undermine the midterms, because he knows he can't win when everybody votes, and he knows he'll be impeached again if his sycophants control congress.

021

If he were ICE, we'd never find out his name.

041

That could be an Onion headline.

I thought the Republicans stopped short of removing Clinton because the economy was booming after Bush 1, and it would have backfired on them. He was popular across the board.

Nothing inaccurate here though.

True, but Reagan said something once that, while not actually promoting change, did speak for a lot of people. Trump has never said anything or done anything to help anybody but himself, ever. And when he tells us things everybody already knew, that means he just found out about it. He's dumB.

000

And "women shouldn't provoke men to rape them," is that his position?

000

The justice department is not just okay with having a felon PResident, it is serving a felon President.
