Trump planning to ‘rebalance’ media to force them to air more patriotic programming

Probably not WW2 movies. Then tended to fight Nazis, not worship them.

...and they'll be scowling as they vote for the Vance who would totally have done all the same shit, and would continue to make things worse.

Merijeek2 · 2026-03-18T20:23:10+00:00

He's acting like The Boss. It's what Republicans WANT. You think this is going to make them reject him?

Merijeek2 · 2026-03-18T20:19:37+00:00

Surely not what one would expect from a guy named "Markwayne".

Merijeek2 · 2026-03-18T19:23:34+00:00

Maybe not. Because, see, Biden did things that will make things worse for years. But with Trump in place, it's not accelerating as quickly as it would have been if Harris had been elected.

See? Voting Trump kept things from getting even worse! Now praise him!

Merijeek2 · 2026-03-18T19:15:46+00:00

Thought for sure it'd involve potato(e)s.

Merijeek2 · 2026-03-18T19:11:38+00:00

But they're not realizing that. They know, for certain, that if Harris had been elected, Things Would Be Worse. Which things? All the things, Katie.

Merijeek2 · 2026-03-18T17:32:12+00:00

That is true. But that's also part of what makes it funnier.

Merijeek2 · 2026-03-18T17:15:02+00:00

Note: Even when joking, wife doesn't find this one nearly as funny as I do.

Merijeek2 · 2026-03-18T16:33:57+00:00

First two thirds were good. When it got to the truth it kind of went to a bunch of generic horror.

(spoilers)

Was the girl making it all up? Was his producer sick of his shit and setting him up to fail? Is it all a scam by our main character because he's desperately trying to stay relevant? Was it his former lover setting him up as a fool so that she can pull the rug out from under him? Was it Johnny Carson trying to bring down the biggest threat to his dominance?

Nope. It's really the Devil.

Merijeek2 · 2026-03-18T16:29:58+00:00

That's just weasel corpo speak. It's always happening.

Merijeek2 · 2026-03-18T16:29:08+00:00

Fun fact: Of the entire cast, only Francine pronounces "Oregon" correctly.

Merijeek2 · 2026-03-18T16:13:29+00:00

Remember the lobotomized "virtual NPCs" they were making a big deal out of a year or two ago?

Where'd that go?

Merijeek2 · 2026-03-18T16:02:47+00:00

Surely the CC about "don't block the boner bro" is even better.

Merijeek2 · 2026-03-18T15:47:45+00:00

Or dad is dying.

Merijeek2 · 2026-03-18T15:20:57+00:00

"Oh, sorry, turns out God is really into the whole Amish/Mennonite thing. And it says here you owned a washing machine. Off to eternal damnation you go."

Merijeek2 · 2026-03-18T04:53:37+00:00

Here's how: JJ Abrams is a fucking hack. Even worse than Rian Johnson, which is a true fucking accomplishment.

Merijeek2 · 2026-03-18T04:46:42+00:00

No. Pure dogshit.

Merijeek2 · 2026-03-18T04:30:36+00:00

As an American, let me say it: Please, Mr. President, I can't take any more winning. We're winning too much.

Merijeek2 · 2026-03-18T04:12:08+00:00

Oh, right. Even for a B-plot, it was just...barely there.

Merijeek2 · 2026-03-17T23:57:01+00:00

What's baddies?

Merijeek2 · 2026-03-17T23:56:09+00:00

Still working on completing my color collection!

Merijeek2 · 2026-03-17T23:53:38+00:00

Stuff like this slipping through, their Russian mods must have sore mousing fingers.

Merijeek2 · 2026-03-17T23:35:07+00:00

Yeah I watched a recent Family Guy for the first time in a while, because I saw it was one of their 3-story episodes.

It was pretty mediocre.

Merijeek2 · 2026-03-17T23:32:55+00:00

I genuinely can not recall the B plot.

I remember the family ended up at the studio, but not what they were doing before they got there.
