As a society we should all stop, reset, and go back to the 1991 Long Island guido night club vibe.

That intro song went so hard, nearly 40 years later and I'm still humming it every now and then

It's a state fair in the south, they'll be alright

And with Charlie Kirk getting slotted, I expected more...but virtually nothing.

It was very interesting to see. I have to wonder if this is showing a sea change of sorts.

I go to the State Fair every year and it's always fun.

This year I noticed something different: Barely any right wing shit.

Since 2015, I'd see maybe 3 out of 10 people with some kind of right leaning shit on. A MAGA hat, a thin blue line shirt...something.

I don't want to pay 100 bucks for a video game but to be honest I often think about how despite inflation on nearly everything else in the world, video games have remained pretty standard on price points.

Factor in the MANY big sales out there, too...it ain't that bad.

The go to move is always to eat at least three bites, move some around your plate so it looks like you ate more, and say "It's not bad, I'm just not hungry."

I definitely think there will be some fall guys (Stephen Miller should probably pack clean underwear everywhere he goes after 2028) but Trump won't be held accountable until the dementia is too much for even the diehards to ignore and Peter Theil has no more use for him.

So maybe 6 months? 😄

Sooo...you just click shit and the game does it? Only it looks shittier?

Just don't be like the real RBG and leave her "in office" past the point of safety.

You know what would be nice?

If I could hear news about the North Carolina GOP fucking over voters BEFORE they fuck over the voters.

Why is North Carolina, on track to be the 7th most populous state by the 2030s, SO CONSISTENTLY ignored on the national level?

Agreed...I know people are saying all this "he wants to stay in forever" shit but I think it's more like a smash-and-grab: the wealthy threw a brick through American Justice, and they're grabbing whatever they can get their little hands on before the voters catch wind of it.

But Trump isn't Hitler. By the time Berlin fell, Hitler didn't have any allies left besides the ones that were offing themselves in the bunker with him.

When the Trump presidency is over, there's still plenty of shitty people that will cover his ass on the way out.

I'd believe it as the end of a movie. As the end of a presidency, even one as corrupt as this? Nah.

Is it likely they're improving the bunker? Sure. Why wouldn't you? It's a perfect opportunity to make modern improvements to it that couldn't have been made otherwise.

Let's say, as a joke, that Bannon isn't a coked-out maniac who just lies his ass off.

Does anyone really think THIS will last until 2028? I guarantee JD Vance just lies awake at night staring at his phone, waiting for the call to come in.

It's the left/liberal version of "Just pull yourself up by your bootstraps!"

A myth that people choose to believe because they don't have an actual answer.

It is INSANE how corrupt the NC GOP is and how much the mainstream media turns a blind eye to it. They pass these bills in the middle of the night without any warning to avoid outcry.

One of the fastest growing states with a quickly changing demographic...and crickets nationwide.

I don't get it.

If I truly believed that, I would have already bought my ticket to Canada.

Maybe instead of "Yes you did!" the response to "I didn't vote for this!" should be "Don't vote for it again."

Rand Paul as resistance though is about as useful as cellophane.

In fairness I probably would have told the Janet Mills campaign NOT to use the "I Fucking Love Genocide Almost As Much As I Hate Gaza" slogan.
