I’m not a lawyer but it seems like he’s wrong about everything here, like yeah it does make sense that a judge would intercede and block an illegal action by a governor

Police exist to do shit like this…
If there was such a thing a good cop, they’d be spending all their time arresting their fellow cops. And we know that ain’t happening

I’m not! Because I have to deliver pizza in the midst of this horror show tomorrow. Please be kind to the people who are making your meaningless game worship/gluttony event possible.

Everyone does everything for attention - and you need attention to have what you say make an impact. People shitting on others doing anything because it might raise their profile is foolish, cowardly shit… like sure, MLK was just out there for attention, and that focus on him helped change the world

Exactly - like, I support many progressive policies that tiny bernie/aoc pockets of the DNC support so technically I’m ‘progressive’ in that sense cuz I’d vote for em but I’m a leftist because I know electoralism’s a joke and a just society would make wall street illegal, which requires revolution

Actually there’s plenty of systems to hack but the reality is that they didn’t even need to, because at least five million votes in Georgia and Arizona from poor and POC districts (read: dem) were wiped from the rolls or were hit by the insane new ‘vigilante’ laws enacted since 2020. Stolen for sure

Isn’t that a contradiction in terms? Liberals aren’t leftists

It would be cool if a meteorite shattered his skull and sprayed his brains everywhere during his sad attempt to read like a normal, literate person

It seems like a SWAT team or some crazy action squad like them would be the appropriate response… judges and lawyers trying to fix problems like this are basically trapped in amber and trying their hardest to move at regular speed

I’ve had a massive crush on Rehka since Big Ol House of Fun, who would ever cheat on her

Cenk has become unbelievably irrational and disconnected from reality… TYT will hopefully die soon as a result

If I had to pick between him and Trump getting Luigi’s, I’d go Elon

Bro there are 14 year olds that think the exact same thing about you, come on you’re better than this

No, we’re hoping for another Luigi with more ambition

Hell yeah, the west coast would be great as its own country so I’m down. Plus having a not-centuries-old constitution we could design to guarantee minimum living standards, fundamental individual freedoms, actual democracy, and the right to smother fascism in its crib would be a huge improvement.

I feel you, it sucks… we could really benefit from a lot more of these high-profile corporate and government ghouls getting Luigi’d

Is it wrong that I’m daydreaming about Anton Chigurh entering this scene with all his equipment and cleaning house?

Once I codify this new religion we’ll make an ecclesiastical carve-out and a set of prayers/affirmations to protect the faithful from this holy stone’s wrath

Please invade us…
Seriously. The US government and military empire needs to be utterly crushed and a coalition of healthy democracies should write us a new constitution/help rebuild. The US (really the GOP but still) is the most dangerous and potentially damaging force in the history of the world

I’ve been an atheist for decades but this is now my new god and I will be praying and making sacrifices to it daily as my way of begging for it to hit DC or Mar a Lago

What’s that they say, ‘the road to fascism is lined with people saying ‘calm down’? Apt

I want Paul Thomas Anderson to make a period-accurate Moby Dick with Dafoe or Day-Lewis as Ahab, Kyle Gallner as Ishmael, an unknown Māori actor as Queequeg, maybe Dan Stevens as Starbuck, I’ve got other picks. Must have extensive use of bigatures, go-motion, etc for realism and whale depiction

I consume a lot of that and you’re right, but also there should be a LOT more *utopian* fiction. I re-read 1984 like every year as a teenager but there really isn’t an opposite number for it in the American canon, at least as far as I know

haven’t truly burned out too many times but that last sentence is important! and difficult. I struggle with this idea of ‘constructive’ vs ‘indulgent’ self-care, like just having dumb alone+media time vs mindfully reading. I’m sure balance is best but rest+web=addiction now, thanks to capitalism

I mean we obviously did, I’d hazard a guess that the majority of elected officials in US history have probably had ‘poor character.’ To clarify, my focus here is on legislation or constitutional amendments because those ‘qualifications’ are just cultural norms which shift wildly every generation

gotta weigh in here; of course i want everyone to vote (like no minimum age; also mandatory) but also it’s totally reasonable for ppl living in reality to protect themselves from a fascist *cult* like MAGA and their followers. Dunno what the answer is exactly but we should ban some candidates’ runs

How is that not just reckless endangerment, or at the very least battery… I realize it’s the UK so my terms are likely wrong but from Rohin’s description this guy is just actively endangering people for content. Basically a slightly less offensive but marginally more dangerous nuisance streamer

I honestly do respect serious, responsible sex workers but let’s be frank, Melania is a Slovenian prostitute owned by Trump and living in the WH - and no one on the right has the moral consistency to even think about the hypocrisy re: sex work, abortion, immigration, ‘anchor babies,’ etc.

This is the template for literally everyone in tRump’s orbit, they allow this dick to destroy their own lives. I am still truly flabbergasted (and terrified) that he’s being allowed to do this to a whole country again
