This guy wants there to be 2,000-5,000 public state-sanctioned killings every year. That's an average of 5-14 every day. When John wrote "even now many antichrists have come" I wonder if he could have imagined something like this.

I don't understand "women dress like whores" in any context. I have no idea what whores dress like. The only time I've seen one is in a movie or TV show.

Bunch of people on here are reacting to that post claiming AI is conscious, and someone said "of course it's a millennial" and I gotta admit I'm stumped on this one. What does being a millennial have to do with holding dumb opinions about AI consciousness?

Are the people who believe AI is sentient suffering from a form of AI psychosis? What led them to believe that AI can "suffer"?

I don't remember why I followed Tom Nichols on here but I had to remedy that today. Just too many insufferable posts.

I will never understand this kind of slavish devotion to such a repugnant person.

I know exactly where that second photo is. We took a boat tour there this summer.

I'm sure there will be Republicans who attempt to do that. I'm saying I don't think Republican voters will back them. But who knows; it's a lot harder to predict anything in politics these days.

I'm not convinced there is a "normal GOP" to resurrect. The party went all-in on Trump. I don't see anyone being able to distance themselves from him and still maintain the support of the MAGA faithful.

By "work out," he means the country is going to keep lurching from one crisis to the next, just like it has ever since he has occupied the White House, and he'll keep escaping accountability for all the destruction he causes. It's "working out" just fine for him; not so much for the rest of us.

The look of utter disdain he gives Collins at the end just sent me. Why can't we have more politicians who call out these pathetic Trumpers like this?

Matthew Shallenberger @mjshally.bsky.social · 14/10/2026
What was the context of Collins' remarks about immigrants and helicopters? Was it a Pinochet reference? That's usually the case when conservatives talk about killing people from helicopters.

I hate shopping at Walmart. They screw over their employees, and everyone who works there looks just like this: tired and wishing they were anywhere else. That is no disrespect to this lady, who I'm sure is a fine person and deserves far more than flowers. But you can see she's fed up with the BS.

"with energy and excitement" she said robotically, reading from her poorly-written script.

Well, she certainly didn't get her job for her public speaking abilities.

You know, it actually pleases me that some of these guys are going all in on JD Vance, who is only slightly likelier than Ted Cruz to ever become president (and keep in mind everyone hates Ted Cruz).

Man, it really does seem like a lot of right-wing pundits are just theater kids who couldn't make it in the entertainment biz so they went political. Benny Johnson wants to be a celebrity so bad but the only place he can be is in the right-wing mediasphere.

Peter Thiel looks more like someone who would be the subject of an antichrist lecture than the one giving it.

The state should not be allowed to "try again." If you botch the first one that's it. Sentence gets commuted to life.

Also, I know these are just the ramblings of a demented old narcissist, but trading with other countries is not "subsidizing" them. It's paying for goods and services that we benefit from. You don't say you're subsidizing Publix when you buy your groceries there.

This isn't remotely true, and anyone who thinks it is would be in for a very rude awakening if they had to survive in an America with no foreign trade.

I gotta be honest: I don't really want to hear from anyone who used to work for or support Trump unless they have specific information on how to stop him or remove him from power. I don't need you to tell me he needs to be stopped. I already know that. I'm not interested in your reputation rehab.

Matthew Shallenberger @mjshally.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
No, I don't worry about this. What are we doing here, folks? Can we please stay focused on the real ways Trump is harming the country instead of dreaming up fantastical scenarios that have no likelihood of happening?

Matthew Shallenberger @mjshally.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
The way they deluded themselves into think he did this for them/the country rather than for himself will never cease to astound me. Listening to Trump supporters talk about him makes me feel like I've been witnessing a decade-long mass psychosis event.

In fairness, though, some of the ways that neurotypical people seem to have agreed to function as adults don't make any sense.

Such an iconic sound. Also both of the Jedi games are great. Probably my favorite Star Wars game content since the original Knights of the Old Republic (the RPG, not the MMO).

His reputation was tainted by allegations of sexual abuse, as opposed to his own admission? Also I like that they don't mention it was hush money payments that eventually sent him to prison. You know, the same thing that earned Donald Trump felony convictions.

It's crazy because she drew a lot of sympathy when she came forward about being sexually harassed by Roger Ailes, and then she went on to defend men just like him.

There was a time after she left Fox that Megyn Kelly almost looked like she could become normal. Then she went even further off the deep end.

I suspected from the way he flashed the poster for half a second and then tried to move on he knew his claims about Jack Smith at a Hawks game were BS. But truth doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is selling the narrative. I guarantee a lot of MAGA still believes Smith was at that game.

Matthew Shallenberger @mjshally.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
The Eric Schmitt thing is very funny, but there is also zero chance that MAGA doesn't continue to believe that Jack Smith really was at a Hawks game in Atlanta and that proves he was colluding with Fani Willis. If facts could change their minds they wouldn't be three-time Trump voters.

Matthew Shallenberger @mjshally.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
I think that's pretty much expected behavior for Trump, but what really boggles the mind is how his supporters will join him in defending the J6 rioters while simultaneously claiming to "back the blue."
