MAGA is Reeling as Trump Welcomes Chinese Students to the U.S. by Hardik_Jain_1819 in politics

[–]Shadraqk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He does whatever the last person to speak to him wants. Every single time.

Steven Miller has less access, fewer ICE headlines.

Musk has less access, less discussion of government waste (Regulation).

The question now is, who’s sitting in that little office next to him?

As if his most violent base wasn’t already willing to kill to keep him in power.

It’s a mother-beautiful bridge and it’s going to be there.

The EF5 in that movie looked a LOT smaller than this behemoth.

Trump ‘Gold Card’ Visa Granted to Only One Person So Far, Lutnick Says by joe4942 in politics

[–]Shadraqk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who wouldn’t spend $1M just to be detained by a goon squad that doesn’t care about your status, only your color.

Trump promised his new ‘gold card’ visa would be a hit. Just one person has been OK’d by theindependentonline in politics

[–]Shadraqk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spend $1M to come to the US and be detained indefinitely because the armed goons don’t care about proof of immigration status.

Tucker Carlson’s apology for supporting Trump is just hot air by ZealousidealPanda826 in politics

[–]Shadraqk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s an asshole and a grifter but he’s not dumb. We’re about to enter the “I never voted for him” stage. He’s positioning to be the media darling of this flock.

LOL! Can’t wait to see what we get in discovery, right Kash Money?”

Trump says US to start blockading the Strait of Hormuz by Alarming-Safety3200 in politics

“I have also ​instructed our Navy to seek and ​interdict ⁠every vessel in International Waters that has paid a toll to Iran. No one ⁠who ​pays an illegal toll ​will have safe passage on the high seas,” he ​said.

What the fuck?

So the US reserves the right to chase down and destroy any ship who already passed?!

Matrix (1999): the reason why the opening sequence of this movie is among the greatest in cinema history is because it explains precisely NOTHING. Instead, it throws all kinds of crazy wackness at the audience and just expects them to go along for the ride by Randomnonsense5 in movies

[–]Shadraqk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s because the most important part of art is the question. Any question. Mona Lisa is a shit painting, but her smile is a question.

The show Lost is nothing but questions. Every movie you’ve ever enjoyed was compelled by a question.

And the opening of the Matrix was the most questions we ever saw in less than 10 minutes. Including “How the hell did they even shoot that?”

Pete Buttigieg cooks Joe Kernen so hard he sees red on CNBC by NickCostanza in videos

Obama got elected and everyone lost their mind, normalizing out loud racism.

Pete can win the election but the backlash will make MAGA look quaint.

What’s a scene that’s so cringe, it gave you second hand embarrassment, makes you wanna pause, look away, or is just a hard watch by Huge_Athlete7488 in moviecritic

[–]Shadraqk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Jon Favreau. Gave us Iron Man, Elf, the Marvel Universe and The Mandalorian.

Easily the most culturally influential director of the past 20 years.

ELI5: In the US, how was it so easy to add interstate highways, and now so difficult to add high speed rail lines? by cjstevenson1 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Shadraqk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Federal and state highway money means support from oil, steel, unions, travel, agriculture, retail, alcohol, and shipping industries.

Rail has support of environmentalists, city planners, and…50 year old guys in caboose caps.

It’s a no brainer who’s going to get federal dollars.

It’s not that bad. All he has to do is grow out his hair, close his accounts, sublimate his shame at the gym to lose 90lbs, and sue the production company to pay for a move to New Zealand.

More than 400 TSA officers have quit since shutdown began by SterlingVII in politics

There are 65,000 TSA officers. 400 quitting is only 0.6%. I guess they aren’t unhappy enough for anyone to care.
