This whole thing is cracking me up. I can imagine them writing all sorts of articles like "Democrats want ALL people to have access to basic needs like food, shelter, education, and health care." Then MAGAts reading that just laughing their heads off while the rest of us are just stuck wondering where the joke is.

Probably worth financing it. What you lose in interest costs will probably be worth it if these tariffs go through.

Will Smith is a farter... he’s, you know, a lovely guy. Just, he farts. Some do, some don’t.

I like that this director thinks that there are some people wired different to just never fart. But with that being said, I kind of get where he's coming from. One of my brothers has no problem letting farts rip. One of his crowning achievements was making a pregnant lady puke when she walked into his office after he had been hot boxing it for a few hours.

That's the first thing that came to my mind as well! I don't know why, but Satisfactory's spiders really get to me. I can't play it without the kitties turned on. It's the only game where they bother me.

I've gone over it again and again and again in my head and I still can't make sense of it. He's a three-star general. He works at the Pentagon. Why would he charge us for free snacks?

This part had me absolutely rolling. I loved that movie.

He also basically confirmed the Will Smith MIB fart rumor in the same interview.

Say what now?

Hey, quit shitting on my silver lining. I choose to believe he'll die soon due to Macdonald's induced heart failure and you can't take that hope away from me!

Yeah, it was bad when Bush was reelected. But even then, I felt people were treating politics more like a team sport than actually chosing the most qualified leader. But now I feel like it's gone from "rooting for me team" to full on cult mode. My neighbor across the street has 6 Trump signs on her house. That's not normal behavior.

Also be prepared for the national debt and deficit to no longer matter. Classic GOP playbook.

Case in point:

I guess New Mexico is alright...

I've been looking for silver linings. The two I've found are:

  1. Trump probably won't live to see the end of his term. Dude is old and not exactly healthy. One could argue Vance taking his place would be worse, but I'm choosing to focus on the positives here.

  2. Trump winning very likely prevented a civil war. I know a ton of people who had been stocking up on supplies and weapons. Again, one could argue giving these people the keys to the kingdom probably wasn't the smartest move, but again I'm trying to focus on the positives.

True. Trump does not hold a monopoly on suck.

Americans are overwhelmingly in favor of reforming the Supreme Court along lines proposed by President Joe Biden, even as approval for the high court is marked by a sharp political divide, according to a new USA TODAY-Ipsos election year poll.

A large majority – 76% of Americans – support a binding code of conduct for the Supreme Court, according to the poll.
