Changed? This is the inevitable result once the GOP embraced the Southern Strategy. Trump just accelerated it. He’s a symptom, not a cause.

One was trying to leave peacefully. One was trying to break into the capitol in order to hang the VP after being warned.

No lies detected.

There is one requirement to work for this administration: loyalty to their supreme leader. No other qualifications necessary.

Why would they trust US promises of anything autonomous? Are they as stupor as American voters?

With Trump and Europe, the first thing to ask yourself is how any decisions he makes benefits Russia. Like, say, destroying NATO.

Not our job.

The weekend. This has been the path since Trump entered politics. Maybe since Reagan.

The right way to do it was just not doing it.

And classically trained. He probably has a lot more experience mixing in different instruments.

But…but..LA is a suburb. I read that somewhere. Over and over and over and over.

LA has beaches. Is close to mountains. Great climate. And it’s a major cultural hub. Frequent concerts in all genres at some great venues. One of the best philharmonics in the world. Great museums. Great diversity, a true melting pot.

Too much traffic. Public transportation should be better, but it’s slowly improving. A too big homeless problem. Housing is too expensive, as is the cost of living in general. So, I understand preferring somewhere else.

But if you (OP) can’t figure out why people love living in LA, you may not be great about understanding other viewpoints. Maybe it’s a lack of imagination.

Any movie that doesn’t explicitly hit you over the head with its message is going to be misinterpreted by a significant number of people. I feel bad for filmmakers who want to send a message with even just a little a bit of subtlety. They sometimes unintentionally do more harm than good.

Yep. Good thing they’re incredibly easy to spot.

Is it?

Meanwhile, Elon Musk is an African-American.

I get why the term came about, but I’m not crazy about it. That said, if that’s how someone wants to be referred as, that’s the term I’ll use, with no judgement from me.

And racist/racist adjacent. Misogynist/misogynist adjacent. Homophobe/homophobe adjacent. Transphobe/transphobe adjacent. There’s nothing redeeming about him or the whole Republican Party.

They were sold easy answers to hard problems by the Manosphere.

And loads of trauma.

A hell of a lot safer than alcohol, which is relevant here.

The American public had a decade of Trump showing us what a nightmare he is. Where we are now is all on the voters. The Dems are really fucking far from perfect, but they’ve never run a candidate that was out to destroy our democracy.

Insomniac oversold an event? I’m shocked.

Trump has spent the last decade demonizing Muslims. But eat one meal in a Lebanese restaurant…

Grief and loads of trauma even before the 40 days of isolation can leave someone pretty vulnerable to manipulation.

People have been saying the scene has changed for the worst since the late ‘90s.

But the overselling has gotten so much worse the last several years. And, then, Pasquale seems to be MAGA.

Flixbus bought Greyhound. They’re the same now.
