An island

And to those who do not know how things work, it all looks like a conspiracy.

While that is funny, that pretty much tracks with any partnership that ends up fracturing. Capitalist, communist or otherwise.

They are so different I have trouble coming to an opinion about worse/ better, but they are both excellent.

The coolest thing about the original predator movie is that the characters think they're in an action movie, and then to their dismay discover that they are in a slasher flick and playing the role of college kids in the abandoned summer camp...

It is unbelievably hard to distinguish stupidity from satire these days.

Monday: let's try unilaterally disarming and trusting institutions that have repeatedly failed us to enforce the checks and balances and see if that works.

Rinse and repeat.

How about "not ending up governed by an unprincipled minority that hates us"? How's that for saving something?

This idea is long overdue.

Bluesky desperately needs more content like this.

I will never perform the other version again.

I need you to carry on and complete this.

The grift is always on, but if it's any comfort, they're probably not any shittier than the people who lost money on it.

This is why sports betting is such a perversion.

It takes something completely harmless that you can get all excited about and then calm down later and nothing has really changed, and turns it into something that actually has stakes and can ruin someone's life.

He keeps confessing because he has an underlying assumption that everybody's actually always doing the same thing he's doing. He honestly does not understand why it's a big deal.

It's not as if the United States is an entity that can be counted upon to honor their side of the deal either. These kinds of deals have never been enforceable; ultimately, they've always just been based on trust.

Now that trust is gone, anyone can just promise anything. It's all meaningless.

The Nancy Maces of the world need to learn the importance of due process from the inside.

I was watching the spectacle and thinking exactly the same thing.

I think people gush over him that way because he seems so likable that they want to be liked by him.

It's not about inflation. It's just about extortion.

Hey, that's a nice established industry based on a negotiated trade relationship ya got there; pity if something happened to it...

The only way that those people ever win is by reframing losing as winning. Oddly, they seem to be huge fans of participation trophies.

And now they work as ICE "agents"...

American evangelicals force American women to have babies in order to punish them for having sex, and then starve the babies to punish the women further. I don't understand why you would be surprised with their willingness to starve foreign babies.

Every accusation is a confession with these guys.

Trouble sleeping at night? You may be in luck as I think they're recording this staff meeting.

"patriot drag" is the perfect way of summarizing maga in general, with the exception that it seems like a bit of a dis on drag queens.

You think that's desperate? I own the square that has them making out in public within 2 weeks....

Because you needed a video of a group of cute otters chasing a butterfly... 😊

That's a great strawman argument you've got there, pity it's getting you blocked, putz.

In a world where we could be sure that they were actually putting away criminals instead of just making arrests and manufacturing the evidence needed to make it stick, that point of view would be valid. We're not in that world.

Nostalgia for the aging perv who took the Dems hard right is one of the biggest problems with current Dems. Pre-Clinton, OAC's policies would have been right in line with the bulk of the party.
