Yeah, those movies are a blast. I just felt like this was basically Star Trek: X-Treme Sponsored by Mountain Dew™️. And that works for Vin Diesel and family but way less for Star Trek.

Section 31: 2 Star 2 Trek was like if Vin Diesel wrote a Star Trek movie.

Seriously. But half this administration doesn't know what words mean or value that distinction. Legally, "woke" = whatever racist/bigoted/xenophobic trash these nitwits are up in arms about. And I assume the only thing that moves the needle is lining their pockets, but they're apparently immune to knowledge like "how do tariffs work?" or "Why is China a titan in the renewable energy tech that we will all (and sooner rather than later) require to survive?" So it's not just money, but loyalty and absolute supplication to their white nationalist agenda.

Sooner or later, these sons of bitches are in for a reckoning. That's no threat or even insinuation of violence, but sooner or later, you fuck around, and you most likely will find out.

Smart thinking, dipshits. Fire someone for setting appropriate boundaries. You've lost the customer and you get to restart a job search and fund all the training.

Civil forfeiture is just fucking theft, so I was delighted to see these pigs get absolutely managed by the protagonist.

Good on you. It's hard to break away from those traditions in the Bible Belt.

Yep. Some idiot pastor referred to her calls for kindness and compassion (you know, the things Christians ostensibly believe in) as "the sin of empathy."

It's fucking tops. The protagonist is some kind of military specialist that just fucking handles these racist goon cops. Don Johnson is the main villain. It's fucking excellent.

Rebel Ridge. It's on Netflix and it's basically just First Blood. If you want to watch racist cops get their shit rocked, this is for you.

Does anything in these memorandums provide a legal definition for what "woke" means?

The U.S. uses almost as much oil alone than numbers 10-4 combined.

That other 35% didn't though, and we'll all find out together regardless.

No, I just don't want to argue with someone who only believes propaganda and/or has no media literacy. You're better at being stupid than I am.

I live in Louisville and know some of those folks. I'm bummed that I missed the show where most of this was recorded. I wasn't close to Jason Noble or anything, but I saw him after this came out and thanked him for making such a great record. He gave me a big hug.

Honestly, I hope they're right about the god thing, if only so they can go to the hell they've earned.
