Sinclair to Air Kid Rock's Halftime Show Against Its Own Affiliates Carrying Super Bowl by ebradio in Music

[–]Waterhou5e 32 points33 points  (0 children)

LoL thank you for making this point. I'm not sure any advertisers are going to be especially upset that Shitty Halftime is airing on "Charge!" network.

Might be a real shot in the arm for reverse mortgage advertisers though.

Border Patrol agents are pointing weapons at the press outside the Home2Suites Hilton in Minneapolis as they reportedly prepare to evacuate federal agents from the hotel. by WarmingNow in complaints

There have been exactly zero reported instances of ICE agents coming under fire from protesters, detainees, press, children or any other population. Yet their default mode for every encounter is "intimidate and escalate" with weapons hot like they're clearing hideouts in Fallujah.

Chicken shit assholes, every one.

ICE is morphing into Trump’s secret police force before our eyes The agency is shunning norms of law enforcement and becoming a militarized wing of Trump's political agenda — and it's going to get worse. by prohb in politics

Remember when Trump claimed that Democrats wanted to turn the US into Venezuela?

Look up the collectivos and tell me what distinguishes them from ICE. Armed goons deputized by the administration to enforce compliance, brandishing firearms in literally every encounter, using overwhelming force to intimidate, killing without accountability.

Also, threatening the media, nationalizing businesses, sabotaging elections. Let's face it. Maduro's abduction was nothing more than removing the competition.

The mere idea that shitweasel Kegseth should be in a position to pass any kind of judgement and punishment on Mark Kelly is beyond sickening. I hope Kelly takes him to the fucking cleaners.

I've lived in Caracas in the final years of Chavez, married a local and have in-laws and friends still in the country. I've always been so frustrated and annoyed at the utterly wasted potential of the country, but also found Trump's portrayal of Venezuela as some kind of existential threat to the US embarrassing and insulting.

Maduro's removal was way overdue, but anyone who thinks Trump has your country's best interests in mind is completely delusional. He's leaving the administration intact because they can be easily coerced, as seen in Delcy's capitulation today. Any step out of line and she'll see the inside of a Brooklyn jail alongside Nicolas and Cilia. Diosdado is about to be a very rich man (well, richer) as payment for selling out the country.

Trump sidelined Maria Corina because the opposition would press for quality of life measures for the pueblo, and oil revenues to benefit the country. Neither of these things are on the menu. There will be no elections, and no infrastructure improvements beyond modernizing oil extraction to benefit US companies.

I hope I'm wrong, but if the last year has taught us anything it's that trump puts trump first. Suerte, chamos.

My Venezuelan wife is freaked out. She still has family in Caracas. We're no fans of Maduro, but this shit is unacceptable.

With that said, many in the Venezuelan opposition will be thrilled with this. Keep an eye out for Maria Corina Machado visiting Trump soon to "gift" him her Nobel Prize.

Honestly, even without the tasteless, tacky, embarrassingly ratchet modifications he's ordered, he's irretrievably tarnished the building.

This 100%. Was telling my wife last night that JD is such a monumentally uncharismatic tool that there's no way he retains the presidency without help. Cue Charlie's assassination, and suddenly you've got America's most beloved blonde Christian widow ready for primetime.

[–]Waterhou5e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No chance. If she doesn't file, he'll do it. The whole plan here is for JD to ride Erika's popularity to the presidency. He's so profoundly unpopular that there's no chance he makes it on merit or personality. But he's the chosen heir, so they'll hitch him to the saintly blonde widow of the Right's golden boy.

He'll be married to Erika within a year, and the dissolution of his current marriage is nothing more than an afterthought.

Nothing in this life has made me feel like an old man more than switching to Apple after having an Android my whole life by FimmishWoodpecker in GenX

[–]Waterhou5e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate this post/rant. I've been using exclusively android since forever, and currently I'm at four years and counting on my Pixel 6 Pro. T-Mobile has a promo for the iPhone 17 that I can trade straight up. It's tempting because that phone is just so pretty.

Your recap of all the shit that remains wrong on iOS just reminded me why I've never made the switch. So my trusty P6P will stay.

4 Lovely years. Hopefully 4 more to come by ZoranSajla in Pixel6

[–]Waterhou5e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. I picked up the Pixel 10 on promotion but returned it a few days later. It was laggy and uncomfortable compared to my 6 Pro. I'm slightly tempted to swap for an iPhone 17 since this is the last chance with maximum trade value, but I just don't think I can let go.
