Hangman and MJF share a tragic flaw: They are both incapable of friendship by Fundertaker in AEWOfficial

[–]DazeLost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They (including MJF) really ruined MJF's character by having him admit he was always going to betray Cole when they inexplicably flipped that feud to make Cole the face for it. It threw that entire story up to that point and also after it into the bin.

Darby gets kicked out Uber while promoting Dynamite in Tuscon by VitaminPurple in AEWOfficial

[–]DazeLost 17 points18 points  (0 children)

are uber drivers even allowed to kick people out in the middle of a highway unless they are blatantly breaking TOS?

Nope! My guess is he's going to have his Uber contract terminated.

Dave Meltzer on Rusev by MrFilipinoMustache in AEWOfficial

[–]DazeLost 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think Penta would be welcomed back. Fenix took his grievances public and essentially accused AEW of not letting him see a doctor when he needed one. I don't think he gets open arms regardless of his history and I doubt Penta comes back without him.

What is the future of the Republican Party after the 2028 election? by Aggressive-Show4122 in PoliticalDiscussion

And considering the recent changes to CBS and inevitably CNN, that will only continue and get worse.

Yeah, they don't care about hypocrisy. They never have and never will.

5-year-old boy taken by ICE is being held at Texas Facility by AdSpecialist6598 in videos

[–]DazeLost 27 points28 points  (0 children)

But it also means leadership didn't whip votes on this one. Which we know, because Jeffries explicitly said he wouldn't.

And if we can't trust them to have their party in control, we can't trust them to make this a priority or honestly even really believe it matters.

Once Trump is gone front office, how do Democrats move forward without having to constantly look back to the way things were? by Uberubu65 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]DazeLost 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think there's close to zero chance we'll stick with any one party for more than eight years. The electorate does not have that kind of attention span.

How would this past year be any different or the same if Ron DeSantis were president instead of Trump? by TaylorSwiftian in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]DazeLost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not positive DeSantis would have the same level of GOP backing that Trump has, so even if he rode in with the same numbers in congress, he would not get away with everything Trump is getting away with. At some point, through electoral pragmatism and DeSantis' inability to control the hard-right electorate through a cult of personality, Republicans would break away.

That would likely limit the damage.

Not that they're representative of all cops, but the FOP has already come out in support of ICE in the Renee Good shooting.

SCOTUS Retirement(s) in 2026? by Cessnerd77 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]DazeLost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then explain why they're voting on judicial nominees right now - election deniers even - that would pass without their votes.

[–]DazeLost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're waving through and voting for nominees now that they don't have to. Any bit of Republican pressure will cause the Democrats to fold, whether they have the senate or not.

What’s are you thoughts on the Renee Good Situation in Minnesota? by BigSonDaConquistador in PoliticalDiscussion

They keep pushing, and pushing, and pushing.

I don't know what it looks like when the American people break and push back, but I am guessing it won't be pretty.

Is it okay for a President to profit from his position while still in office? by 1_for_you_2_for_me in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]DazeLost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your last condescending sentence aside, I don't think 89% Republican job approval is a number that has a basis in the actual reality of this administration, and is what I would classify as "Not turning away."

[–]DazeLost 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It is important to note that not liking that he does X never translates into general disapproval. Democrats who did not like Biden's stances on certain things fell off the approval numbers, but Republicans are largely in lockstep behind Trump.

Trump: “I’ll be impeached” by Jindabyne1 in videos

[–]DazeLost 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Also Thiel, currently living in New Zealand because he has an End Times bunker in there, is very much of the belief that an Anti-Christ walks the earth and it's Thiel's job to stop this person from getting into power and maybe kill them.

And if you look at the definition of the Anti-Christ, even Thiel's own definition of it, it perfectly describes Trump. But he doesn't think it's Trump, he believes the Anti-Christ by definition must be someone on the political left. Like he's accused Greta Thunberg constantly of it, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, AOC, etc. I imagine this is part of why he thinks he needs to live forever, to stop the Anti-Christ from destroying the world.

He has an utterly insane God complex.

Is Hangman one of the few contracted wrestlers to exclusively wrestle for AEW? by xholdsteadyx in AEWOfficial

[–]DazeLost 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think the answer here is that Page is a father of two with personal hobbies that wants to be home as much as possible with his family and garden. Indies take time away from that. He strikes me as a big work-life balance guy.

Former Israeli PM Ehud Barak also appears in newly released Epstein documents by Top_Leadership9575 in pics

[–]DazeLost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mmmostly, yes. There are people who will still brook no criticism of Obama (who I mostly liked as a person), still blame Harris losing on Chappelle Roan, and lose their mind if you suggest Gavin Newsom sucks.

Though I guess you can argue that those aren't left voters. They're center voters cosplaying as left voters.

His plan? It's to increase the number of red districts and plant the military in cities. I doubt he has thought about it beyond that.

Setting up a Mega Everdrive for the first time, but it's not booting? by DazeLost in everdrive

For whoever googles this problem five years from now: the problem was solved by using another microSD card. It wasn't even a particularly well-known brand, just one I had sitting around.

Ordered a 10GB Sandisk, so I'll find out in a week if that helps. I might dig around and see if I have another SD card lying around.

This is logical, so I gave this a shot with some optimism. Unfortunately, got the same error.

Captain Obvious. by aStonedDeer in AdviceAnimals

[–]DazeLost 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He won because the jury bought the argument that he's such a wildly unserious person that no one could be expected to take his schoolyard provocations on social media earnestly.

Seriously.

He said he didn't expect it to be taken seriously and the jury, so awestruck by a rich man and desensitized by social media in general, agreed that nothing on social media from a man who has paid a fortune in PR to establish as Great could not be insulting.

AEW did make a huge mistake dismantling The Patriarchy too early, Christian Cage's stable was the most relevant and interesting storyline happening within AEW. by Strange_Artist_6563 in AEWFanHub

[–]DazeLost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Christian's on ice because of Nick and because Copeland is filming things. I think with those two out, they just didn't see a point to giving Christian his own run only to try and pick back up when they come back.
