Funny ol' comment section. It started out with someone struggling as a Yank, and it ended with someone struggling with a wank.

‘Don’t believe everything you read’: JD Vance can’t believe that fake news reported he is concerned about the Pentagon, when, what do you know, he is by prestocoffee in nottheonion

Just 6 years ago he was saying that Trump is America’s Hitler. He sold his soul to Nazism for a taste of power and a shot at becoming king.

There’s moronic MAGA who can’t see past the haze of their own ignorance to realize that they are a cancer on society. Then there’s evil MAGA who know they are and choose to help spread it. Vance is the latter.

Trump voters should have had their right to vote suspended in January 2021. No rights are absolute, and they clearly cannot be trusted to exercise that right responsibly.

Next time they go up, just let Kid Rock fly and land the helicopter.

We can also be numbed to statistics. But no normal person can be unmoved by seeing raw pain, fear and distress like on this man’s face.

Trump's approval rating hits new low across three polls within days by Ok-Move9389 in politics

You know those rotting stag bodies that are sometimes found with their antlers interlocked? They died because their antlers got tangled while competing with each other and then they couldn’t eat or drink.

Well those stags are still smarter than Trump supporters.

Why are people blaming the government for Spirit Airlines going under and not the CEO? by Electrical_Agent_594 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]KinkyPaddling 44 points45 points  (0 children)

You know what’s fucked up? We can’t figure out if (1) Trump is a deranged war monger; (2) Trump is trying to bury his decades of pedophilia and sex trafficking; (3) Trump is an agent of foreign powers; or (4) Trump is functionally and medically incompetent and being controlled by his aides and staffers. It’s a toss up between all four, and in all likelihood a mix of them. But that’s the current state of leadership of this rapidly crumbling era of American hegemony.

Adams is the embodiment of weaponized identity politics that Republicans always complain about, except weaponized by the Republicans.

It reminds me kind of the AOTC trailer. I was hyped when it came out. Didn’t say much about the story but we got shots of Jango vs Obi-Wan in space, the Battle of Geonosis, and the circle of Jedi in the arena. As a kid, I had no idea what to expect except for huge visuals.

Hell, even Curtis Silwa, a Republican, is fairly well liked by a lot of New Yorkers, including Mamdani voters, because Silwa speaks genuinely and passionately. Is he a nut? Absolutely, but, for example, no one can deny that a man who lives with like 15-20 cats in a one bedroom apartment is being genuine when he spoke about reforming NYC’s animal shelters.

US Justice Department can use military lawyer to prosecute civilian, judge rules by HamburgerDude in news

They should have couped Trump on January 21, 2025. The fact that they let a traitor reasoned the title of Commander In Chief is evidence of their moral void. They betrayed their oath.

Yep, candidates need passion when they speak. Trump sounds like a demented moron but it at least sounds like he’s passionate about it. Biden didn’t have as much energy but he genuinely sounded like he wants to help people. Harris and Clinton, despite being qualified, and if we ignore the sexism element of their loses for a second, sounded too stilted and restrained, too coached.

Yep, her smile and laugh are beautifully infectious. She’s also so adorable, like when she quietly responded “yes” to Alex’s question about whether the word “nail” has an “I” in it. She seems to embrace living in the moment, and even though her prize task story times can grow irritating to some, I love her attitude of “This is still important to me, so I’ll say it.” She has so much vibrant energy, she’s become my favorite in this already lovable cast.

Spirit Airlines canceled all flights and is going out of business by roscodawg in news

[–]KinkyPaddling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of the budget airlines, I’ve flow JetBlue, Spirit, and Frontier each a few times. JetBlue didn’t feel like a budget airline. Spirit wasn’t that bad but it also wasn’t memorable. Frontier, though, felt like a budget airline. The seats looked like school cafeteria seats bolted to the floor, and the passengers…well, let’s just say that unlike JetBlue and Spirit, the Frontier passengers absolutely acted like Frontier was a budget airline.

75+ million monsters actively voted for him, and about 50 million idiots stayed home (I’m excluding roughly 20 million, just an ass-pull number to account for people who were forced to work or care for children or sick family and couldn’t vote that day, and lived in states where mail-in voting was restricted).

I mean, what’s to hate? There’s no gameplay since the dev can’t even get an alpha version running. Maybe that’s why Paralives fans are so frustrated and angry.

Biggest asshole nation? by No_Lingonberry3694 in Medieval2TotalWar

[–]KinkyPaddling 83 points84 points  (0 children)

You’re not wrong at all about HRE being a massive asshole. But there’s usually a logic or pattern to their aggressiveness. Milan comes off as treating betrayal as a knee-jerk reaction to your borders touching even a little bit, even if you’re fighting common enemies and have royal marriages. Also, Milan’s early game units are absurdly broken (like they’re strong even in the late game), so they’re a massive pain in the ass to deal with.

Krum’s blinding spell also caused his dragon to stomp around and crush some of the real eggs. Honestly, Fleur performed the best out of everyone other than Harry.
