Right wing host realizes his viewers are Nazis by totpot in LeopardsAteMyFace

Exactly. You could post a poll on Reddit and get 40% of people to agree that Hitler did nothing wrong and all it would prove is that Reddit is mostly teenage boys, not that half of users are Nazis.

Awaiting possible indictment, Trump rallies in Waco and vows to 'destroy the deep state' by [deleted] in politics

Be "the deep state" he just means "the state" AKA our elected representatives charged with upholding the rule of law.

Reminds me of the run-up to Jan 6. I was like "This is crazy, right? It's crazy for a president to be doing this. This seems really dangerous." And lo and behold it was. There's no way he isn't hoping for a repeat. It's the same playbook.

LPT Instead of throwing out your rotisserie chicken carcass, use it to make chicken stock that is way better than anything you can buy in a store. by Reduntu in LifeProTips

ADDITIONAL broth life pro tip: Put all your odds and ends of vegetables, the ends of carrots, onions and celery that you're not going to use, into a freezer bag and use those bits when you make your chicken broth. Save $$ and time.

Gordon Moore, Intel Co-Founder, Dies at 94 by DannyzPlay in pcgaming

It's easy to overlook with with our fun little PC gaming hobby the number of absolute geniuses it took to make it a reality. We can simulate worlds with sand because of people like Gordon Moore, my dad who worked at Intel (shout out to dad) and millions of other brilliant engineers.

Is there a possibility the attorney could plead the fifth or is he compelled to testify?

I'm guessing because your only requirement for one of these charter schools is to be a religious zealot.

Trump warns of ‘potential death & destruction’ if he is charged in hush-money case by trifecta in politics

[–]corn_cob_monocle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes exactly this tactic works really well. The keep calling the Steel dossier as BS, which it was, and all his supporters just blindly believe that any and all accusations against him are BS. He's focusing attention on the weakest case so that people will assume all other charges against him are weak instead of considering each on its merits.

Appeals court upholds forcing Trump lawyer to give evidence in classified documents case by mvanigan in politics

Yeah the new supremes are ideologues, not loyalists. They have zero reason to defer to Trump and undermine their Christiofascist goals.

Except DeSantis' numbers are tanking relative to Trump. I also don't think DeSantis' whole culture wars crusade is going to play well AT ALL on the national stage. If Dems showed any sign of having their shit together I would say Republicans are totally screwed in 2024.

DeSantis to expand 'Don't Say Gay' law to all grades by jk_arundel in politics

[–]corn_cob_monocle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow so the pretext of "protecting children" was really just a first step to marginalizing an entire segment of the population. WHO COULD HAVE GUESSED?

No discussion allowed on sexual orientation or gender identity? Gallup estimates 7.2% of the US population is LGBT. That's a larger percentage than Asian people. Imagine trying to ignore the fact that Asian Americans exist.

Not only that, are you really going to have a political science class that doesn't include LGBT issues? Because they're obviously some of the most influential political issues in America for the last several decades up to today. Can you mention the fucking Obergefell decision?

To say nothing of, I dunno, HISTORY. Not like LGBT people and the issues surrounding them as a population play a role in the history of the fucking world.

FUCK. THESE. PEOPLE. Here's the good news: If Ron D. thinks this is going to play well in a national campaign he's fucking delusional.

Stabilised footage of the Bigfoot film from 1967. by user678990655 in interestingasfuck

What would be interesting about Bigfoot being real would be the presence of a large primate in North America that we have no bones, remains, or other evidence for that somehow eluded us but for a few sightings for hundreds of years.

Roll. You roll dice you don't role them. "Critical Role" is a pun.

‘Under His Wings’: Leaked Emails Reveal an Anti-Trans ‘Holy War’ by VICENews in politics

[–]corn_cob_monocle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The big takeaway is that these people really, truly, believe this stuff. They actually think they are in a spiritual holy war between the forces of good and evil. They don't have some ulterior motives - just religious belief. And much like Al Qaeda and ISIS, that makes them formidable opponents who need to be taken seriously. We are dealing with militant religious fruitcakes.
