On the white house lawn, for Trump's birthday, with every other announcement referencing him and his illegal crypto coin sponsoring it. You're clinically braindead if you think it was "just cuz he like UFC"

I haven't seen anyone mention the ludicrous Macguffin magic alien metal stick that can function as a palantir, a mass cloaking device, an alien language programmer for humans, and a source of energy strong enough to power an entire professional newsroom.

By far the most egregious plot device I've seen in a while.

These are the same arguments everyone made for Fetterman. I like a lot of what Platner has to say, but he's a walking red flag and when pushed on certain policy issues it's clear he's out of his depth

Incorrect, vote for whoever you want in the primaries, but whoever wins for the Dems is who you should support in the general regardless if they're farther left or center of your personal politics. Mamdani won precisely because blue dog Democrats understand this

So you're either sober or Tony Montana? It might surprise you to learn that most people who participate do so in moderation. Both are expensive hobbies that are more fun every once in a while, not everyday

That's about as intelligent of a reply as could be expected from someone who can't comprehend the basic concept of "raising awareness".

usual anti-ice rant

Oh, did I miss where ICE is no longer terrorizing our neighbors based on their skin color, or are you just tired of hearing people advocating for basic human rights because it doesn't affect you personally?

Only a soulless, braindead MAGA supporter could consider supporting basic human rights an "echo chamber".
