I was wondering, completely hypothetically, that if a ruling absolutely proves that one woman is an evil, evil liar, then surely a ruling in hypothetical woman's favor would mean that everyone lauds her as being free and clear, right? I mean, if not, can you imagine how hypocritical it would be?

There are so many industries that benefit from undocumented immigrant labor and have a whole structure built to facilitate it. This push to terrorize migrant workers could be an issue for them, but it also destabilizes any rights they may have because they're even more at the mercy of ICE.

I swear when I see someone say "its a distraction," what I'm hearing is, "I'm smarter than all of you because I know I can not care about some segment of the population that's disposable." If you want to talk about some 4D chess, its giving left leaning people an excuse not to care about things.

Its all the agenda, and it's all a distraction. Its what Bannon's "flood the zone" was all about. Bannon didn't tell Trump to "flood the zone" with stuff he wanted to compromise on. Its all stuff they want, eventually, in some order, at some time.

This isn't "Republicans put X in the bill so they could give it up in comittee so they have something to compromise on" from 20 years ago. They don't want to compromise on any of it, and if they get stopped from doing something, they don't give up on it, they circle back to it again.

This is Bannon's strategy from the first term turned up to 11, with nobody pumping the breaks. Its even less calculated than it was then. The only "genius" is someone actually saying, "I just have to be willing to do evil constantly, and people will get tired."

1. It makes it sound like some of these things are terrible things that we should just ignore because somehow they aren't "real."
2. It makes it sound like he's an evil genius playing 4D chess.

Stop with the distraction talk. Trump is doing multiple horrible things because he wants all of them to succeed, and they're all bad and need to be opposed. Its a bad situation to be in, but none of it is easily identifiable as "this is the one he doesn't mean/won't become worse if ignored."

Yes, this is a very midwest expression of emotional distress.

So angry I'm dropping vowels all over the place.

I think the only minor thing we have going for us in Illinois is that Trump has such a narrow world view that its hard for him to remember Illinois exists when its not actively in his face. He's abosolutely the kind of person that sees New York and Los Angeles as the only major urban centers.

The "insurrection" is not giving in to the federal government across the board and apologizing for the state not delivering for Trump. Resisting ICE is just an excuse to pull the trigger. Literally. I fully expect to see this same thing spred out to other large states that didn't go for Trump.

Where does this constant drive to give everyting he does the benefit of the doubt come from? Especially when this is his second term. We know him, how he things, what he does. There is no pretending he might accidentally just be a harmless mediocre president. He's don massive harm. We know it.

That's okay, I usually recolor my headers, so I should have called them out in the article. 😁

That's what the hyperlinks are for. :)

The sad thing is, and I'm guilty of it too, the question may not have been "will the military fire on American citizens if ordered," it may actually be, "have the police been militarized enough that it doesn't matter."

Not sure if its helpful at all, but apparently the title of the painting is "Abandon Hope."

Scrolling through IDW comic covers, because I was sure there may be more than one to be found there, and this is the first one I found.

I know I've seen other variations, but I can't even begin to think of where to point you at them.

If they were life destroying misery mongers, I would feel bad about saying this, but I really hope that Miller's wife working for Elon just completely short circuits Miller, and/or makes Trump paranoid about keeping him on staff. Just thin them out one horrible human at a time.

"So, we're going to kill at least 50% of the current cast of the cartoon."
"Isn't that a little extreme for something marketed to kids?"
"They're robots, it doesn't count."
"Also, make sure we do things like having them scream in pain and stand vigil on someone's death bed."

Transformers the Movie (1986), also known as "the first emotional trauma experienced by many Gen X'ers."

It wasn't that long ago that he was in Iron Man II and got name checked in Star Trek Discovery as a brilliant scientific mind that helped advance humanity. This was already a thing. Good lord.

If anything shows that a lot of people with too many eyes on what they say have short term memory, its this. Elon was a liberal darling. Then he jumped ship because he thought he could remove all regulations on everything he had ever done.

If anything, maybe, possibly, kind of, might dislodge some Trump supporters, it MIGHT be another conservative accusing him of being on the Epstein lists. I'm not counting on it, but I'm not going to tell people to get off it the same way people said to stop calling Trump and Vance weird.

I don't want to diagnose a dead historical figure, but oof, that puts me in mind of some things that maybe can't just be trained out of a child, and someone having the wrong traits in the wrong place.

What's bizarre to me is when multiple continuities start to incorporate events that were meant to encompass all of reality, and people start trying to explain how there can be a Crisis on Infinite Earths that was within the smaller box of a larger Crisis on Infinite Earths from a different medium.

The point is that some of those things feel like they resonate with the overall story, and some of them you can take or leave. Its funny that we get the feeling that the TIMELINE is the canon, when "canon" is really just the core tenants on which something is built.

Does it matter that Lex killed his father to take over LuthorCorp X years before he met Superman, or that he dated Lois and they were either very serious or not at all serious? Does it matter that Lex only hires women for his inner circle, or just that Mercy is his bodyguard?

This was one of my favorite things I've recorded. Rich and I talked about how myths change over time, and how we sometimes conflate things that resonate in retelling the myth with "canon." Lex Luthor as evil billionaire resonated. Now its the interpretation of most iterations of the character.
