It really kills MAGA that they have no culture, just resentment at everyone else's. Bad Bunny is the #1 artist in the world right now and won album of the year. Instead of putting poquito de sazón en su vida, they're gonna listen to the guy who sings about liking underage women.

Certainly not the first time Trump has exaggerated size.
a delusional Trump claims "we're taking in more than $18 trillion into the United States because of tariffs. The companies, the only way they can avoid them is to build here. They avoid paying the tariffs. Now they've been doing that."

Using AI videos to scratch the chauvinism itch that so many of these guys have deep inside their vestigial lizard-brain.
Over on X, the Everything App, serious conservative thinker Dinesh D'Souza shared a video of an AI-generated woman on a fake podcast he seemingly thought was real, telling the audience that young women should get with older men. Dude, wtf?

LAIR OF THE WHITE WORM is a literate, witty, and delightfully odd tribute to Gothic Horror. It’s probably the most popular of Ken Russell’s eccentric 1980s Vestron films.
Hugh Grant and Peter Capaldi should have gone on to be the Bing Crosby and Bob Hope of Folk Horror.

Former truck driver, now 80, said to have been one of many ‘sniper tourists’ who paid Bosnian Serb soldiers to be allowed fire on city
An elderly Italian man is under investigation as part of an investigation by prosecutors in Milan into individuals who allegedly paid members of the Bosnian Serb army for trips to Sarajevo so they could kill citizens during the four-year siege of the city in the 1990s.
The 80-year-old is being investigated on charges of aggravated murder, a source close to the case told the Guardian. The man, a former truck driver from the northern Italian region of Veneto, is the first suspect to be placed under investigation since the inquiry began in November. Continue reading...

There is a ton of literature on lawyers in Germany in the 1930s who thought they could handle it, maintain their morals, "assist from inside", or avoid blame while working for the Reich. They couldn't.

Todd Blanche says the Epstein files provide no basis for criminal investigations. But as of this morning they have fueled the opening of criminal probes in the UK, France, Germany, Slovakia, Poland and Norway... and that's only the ones that have become public.
