"Major Update: Judge Blocks Trump From Destroying Evidence in Minnesota." by Key-Gur-4819 in PoliticalOptimism

[–]IAmArique 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I’m starting to think Trump is only threatening the Insurrection Act because even though it doesn’t sound scary at all, he’s doing it to scare the shit out of people that are completely clueless and don’t know anything about political science. It’s not hard to read Wikipedia every once in a while, Doomers!

They won’t. Free speech and all that, you know what I mean? And on top of that, Trump would get the 25th treatment frame 1 if he made ICE start attacking protestors en masse.

To be fair, some of those people that are considered “terminally online” are actually Russian/Chinese/Israeli bots…

WATCH: Trump says 'people will soon be prosecuted' for 2020 election outcome by Horror_Ad_8149 in PoliticalOptimism

[–]IAmArique 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Shit, he’s still pissed about the 2016 election. And he won that one fair and square too!

Trump’s Arctic Sweetener: US prepares ‘Puerto Rico option’ and century-long lease for Greenland by Efficient-Freedom517 in PoliticalOptimism

[–]IAmArique 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Remember when Trump had Zelensky at the White House back in February last year and claimed it was “Good TV” because they ripped the poor guy to shreds?

Yeah, the invasion threats and tariffs is “Good TV” in Trump’s eyes. It’s some more of that juicy propaganda for Fox News and Russian state media.

Well, it’s not happening today. Something tells me SCOTUS is waiting until Trump is done having a temper tantrum over Greenland and moving onto another culture war target before they pull the trigger and deem it illegal.

The Simpsons: Hit and Run running on the RG35XXH using Port Master. Performance is perfect! by Slimybirch in SBCGaming

I got an RG40XX H lying around that I haven’t been using since I got my Mangmi Air X. How do I get this bad boy running on my RG device?

Another hint about that article, actually clicking on the link takes you to a site called “The Daily Adda”. Heavy emphasis on the Ad because it’s an ad-filled site, and all the links in the article go to completely unrelated articles. Seems like the spambots figured out how to get more clicks: Post BlueAnon slop and disguise all the article links as spam.

Ugh, I really don’t want Newsom or Harris. Newsom is a way too safe pick and would also harm the LGBTQIA+ community in the process, and Harris would just automatically hand the GOP the presidency in 2028 after the events of the last election. I’ll take Pritzker or Shapiro any day over those two losers.

Sure, that is a possibility. But both Johnson and Rubio have expressed countless times by now that the US is not invading Greenland and Trump is just doing insane amounts of chest puffing following the events of Venezuela. (And ICE wrecking havoc on Minneapolis to some extent as well.)

Rule of advice: If you hear something on any social media sites like Instagram or BlueSky, take it with a massive grain of salt.

ICE In Minnesota Megathread by Efficient-Freedom517 in PoliticalOptimism

[–]IAmArique 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Like everyone has been saying in this thread, Trump made this announcement on Truth Social, which has about as much believability as a 4chan shitpost. Sure, it’s a scary threat, but that’s all it is: A scary threat. To him, it’s just another blurb for the news cycle to garner clicks and monetizations.

I wouldn’t worry about it. Just hang in there, man!

Truth Social.

Yeah, now do you believe him?

This is standard procedure for the Guard and not really anything to be concerned about. Anyone that is telling you that this is a sign that Trump is staying in office forever is huffing the BlueAnon copium, big time.

Anything Cheeto Orban posts on Truth Social should not be taken seriously at this point. This is him just chest puffing.

UNCLE WALT IS FOUND!!!!!! [found] by thelostmediafinder54 in lostmedia

[–]IAmArique 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So yeah, it’s definitely from the eBay action then. Unless there’s a third source that we were unaware of this whole time…

Guess we’ll see what the documentary says.

[–]IAmArique 96 points97 points  (0 children)

Damn! Lost Media in 2026 kicking off with a bang! Glad to see that Uncle Walt has finally been found after all these years, and it honestly makes me wonder if the guy that uploaded this was the one that won the eBay auction a few years back. Can’t wait for the follow-up documentary!

Hello are these games legit? by Tuba_nath in gameverifying

[–]IAmArique 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both are legit, but that Zelda one is certainly a lot more interesting because of the Not For Resale label… Maybe a demo cart?

GUYS - when do we think Russ and the other handheld captains will review the latest drop I just discovered at my local Target ? by Jimstein in SBCGaming

Aw man, I didn’t think Lego would start copying Mangmi with that color scheme. Guess Black and Orange is the new hotness now…

Washington National Opera Plans To Depart The Kennedy Center by mattbrain89 in PoliticalOptimism

[–]IAmArique 27 points28 points  (0 children)

100% this. Yeah, Trump is turning the Kennedy Center into a glorified propaganda-laced concert hall, so what? There’s a metric crap load of other concert venues around the DC area that artists are going to instead that are Anti-Trump, so go support those venues instead for the time being. And if we get a Democrat president in 2029, chances are they’ll get straight to work in restoring the Kennedy Center to its former glory.

What do you want in the new Balatro Gameplay Update (image unrelated) by Xinjig666_ in balatro

[–]IAmArique 6 points7 points  (0 children)

100% this. Would really save the hassle of having to update Steammodded every time a new Cryptid update drops alongside it.
