God, I love this post so much. I was idly wondering the other day if it would be possible to grab timestamps from all jimmy's posts through the api, and then plot them out to see if they correspond to normal working hours in some part of the globe...
Wait, so politicians can be held accountable for their crimes? When did that change?
As much as I agree with Kyle's sentiment, I can 100% understand Jack's position here. In addition to wanting to remain eligible for movie and tv roles, he probably also doesn't want to get shot. Security for singers is probably more lax than security for ex-presidents, after all (at least most of the time). It's easy to imagine some troglodytic cultist piece of shit taking the band joking about killing their bloated lord and savior personally, and resolving to do something about it.
Why would you have any respect for Trump supporters going to a Trump rally? Just because they were unlucky? They're still shitty people.
Despite spending a lifetime living with this reality, it still seems so fucking wild to me that one of the two major political parties in this country is just entirely peopled with assholes. It's like they have a secret competition amongst themselves to see who is the biggest bag of dicks.
Huh. I wonder if he was also socially awkward when he was raping Sally Hemings (starting from when she was 14 years old, younger than his daughter Abigail, whom Hemings was sent to care for), or when he convinced her to leave the relative safety of France by telling her that he'd emancipate her children, or when he was like: "lol u thought" and kept them enslaved for the rest of his life. So socially awkward. Such a quirky guy.
I really can't comprehend the level of hate that these motherfuckers must possess to write or support such a bill. I mean, let's say you're an incredible asshole who doesn't think that trans people exist, like you think that you know who they are much better than they actually know themselves. Even with that as a baseline, isn't it still just the polite thing to treat them with basic respect?
If I found out that someone I just met preferred to use their middle name instead of their first name, I would 100% use that person's middle name when addressing them. It's just common courtesy. The same thing goes with a person who's transitioning - I will use their preferred name, because I'm not a completely deplorable piece of shit.
But this guy is way worse than someone who intentionally antagonizes people by using their disliked name when addressing them. This guy wants to actively punish anybody who has the rock bottom bare minimum of civility by destroying their lives and livelihoods.
I just can't grasp that level of hatred. How is it that this piece of shit shares enough genes with everybody else that he's recognized as human?
I think it's not so much about the genders of the shoppers, but rather their approach to shopping that is most telling. I take after my mother: I'm a Combat Shopper. When I enter a store, I have a specific plan of action, and my goal is to execute it as swiftly and efficiently as possible and get out. My father, on the other hand, was very much a lookie-loo shopper. He would spend hours at the store slowly walking up and down every aisle trying to think if anybody he knew would want whatever bit of tat was on the shelves in front of him. Drove me fucking nuts to shop with him.
I think that combat shoppers can shop with other combat shoppers, and lookie-loo shoppers with others of their ilk, but pairing one with the other is a recipe for hurt feelings.
why do conservatives want x?
Because they're cunts. That is the answer. It doesn't matter what the question is, the answer is that conservatives are cunts. It explains the entirety of their behavior.
I think it's just possible that this might be the stupidest ruling I have ever seen. He's an insurrectionist, but apparently he's a special insurrectionist, and should be allowed to have another crack at the highest office in the country. What the expletive fuck?
The thing I love most about this article is this one throw-away little line right here:
He ... claims that all of his legal troubles amount to "election interference" as he campaigns in the 2024 presidential election.
It just illustrates who Trump is so well. First, he hears a term that he doesn't understand, like: "election interference". Like what he did when he incited his cult of morons to attack the capitol during January 6th to prevent Congress from certifying the election. Then, he takes that term that he doesn't understand and uses it improperly to insinuate that that's what's being done to him. This is either because he's too dumb to know what it means and too stubborn to look it up, or because he believes that about his cultists.
This is the exact same playbook he used for "puppet" during his debates with Hillary, "Fake news" when he was campaigning, "witch hunt" when he was being investigated for impeachable offenses, etc.
The man is a complete god damned moron, and yet somehow, he's managed to figure out that a significant number of Americans are even dumber than he is, and he has become their messiah. It's awe-inducing.
For a group that wants to distance itself from gangs, it sure doesn't help their case when they jump in new recruits.
