  • Like use some fucking common sense: why would they choose that plane on purpose?

    Knowing the former history of the plane, why wouldn’t Trump tell them to literally give him any other fucking plane? if it were anyone else I’d write it off as a coincidence, but that man getting that plane isn’t just random chance. But you’re telling me not one person who was responsible for that transaction at any step of the way didn’t look at the renter, look at what plane he was renting, and say “Hey, given the history between these two, we may wanna give the guy another plane…”, even if only to avoid bad optics.

    Trump being on that plane right now means he either knew and didn’t care, or directly requested it.








  • There was a recent segment on the Daily show discussing exactly this. They even showed a several minute clip showing him using the exact same attacks he’s been using for the past 10 years, word for word, except just changing the names to whoever he’s attacking at that moment.

    We have seen everything he has to offer. There’s nothing new at this point. All he has is attack, attack, attack. And even then, there’s only a small number of attacks he uses. He just repeats them over and over ad nauseum and switches out the names as necessary. Sometimes, he even gets the names right. Sometimes. None of that is even hyperbole or exaggeration. He literally has no new material.








  • I swear, I think these chucklefucks honestly think that litigating porn out of existence has even the slightest chance of working at all.

    Less reputable sites are typically foreign sites, out of the reach of US government, and can continue to just ignore US law enforcement. And even if the US does start investigating them, these sites can pick up and set up shop somewhere else literally overnight. Project 2025’s ideas would have zero effect on them.

    And regarding the larger sites like Pornhub? Do they think they’re just gonna say “Aw, shucks. We cant show people titties any more.” Fucking lol. They’ll just set up shop overseas, block all US IP addresses, and just conveniently have advertisements for various VPNs on their home page.

    Pornhub and the like will continue distributing all the porn. They will continue to make all the money distributing all the porn. Heck, they’ll probably make even more all the money hosting advertisements for and partnering with VPN services. And people will continue to watch all the porn. Even if Project 2025 got their way, the great Overseas Porn Migration of 2025 will be merely a moment in time of porn’s history. In fact, there will be porn of it.


  • Please correct me if I’m wrong. I just want to make sure I’m understanding this.

    He just admitted that his goal is to quietly litigate porn into non-existence by passing age verification laws on one end, then flood the courts with frivolous lawsuits with all sorts of human rights allegations in order to bankrupt what’s left. And from there, use the same strategy to effectively litigate anything else they don’t like out of existence, while also not making it a campaign issue or even all that well known publicly because he knows that these positions are hugely unpopular and would cost elections, because fuck you that’s why?

    He does seem to jump on the Trump method of handling things. Either get what you want legitimately or litigate your opponent into bankruptcy until they don’t have the resources to fight any more. But I’m sure he also heard the call to arms from Clarence Thomas saying that the Supreme Court has their back, so he probably figures if his ilk are going to seize power through the courts because they know they can’t win elections, there’s no better time to do it than now.


  • Even being willing to go on the air and say “Hey, this isn’t a winning campaign strategy” is a huge step forward for some of these people, many of which spent the past several years trying to bend reality to Trump’s whims. Even daring to criticize God-King-Trump a year or two ago was enough to get you a nasty tweet from Trump, all-but excommunication from the party, and deportation to Jupiter.

    Do you think Kellyanne “Alternative Facts” Conway and Kevin “Pilgrimage to Mar-a-Lago” McCarthy would have dared to even privately say that this isn’t a winning strategy to Trump, let alone publicly and on Fox News? And if they did, do you honestly think they’d have a career in the morning?

    One step forward, two steps back and all of that, but at least now they’re at least attempting to take the forward step every once in a while.



  • Literally nothing DJT does will cost him votes from people for whom being a Republican is an identity.

    I have to disagree a bit here. We’re seeing that even that statement has its limits.

    We have more and more formerly staunch Trump supporters who are starting to say “Hol’ up”.

    And a lot of people don’t have trouble with the mudslinging Trump dishes out, until it hits them personally. Once they become (or feel they’ve become) a target of the Trump Hate Machine, they tend to change their tune on him pretty quick. I’m not hailing people who do that as heroes, mind you; they were perfectly OK with the hatred until it was directed at them.

    I cannot speak and do not speak for those who have served, as I never have. But from everything I’ve learned from the people who I do know that have served, they value their military service and their brotherhood more than their political identity, and they would take unprovoked attacks on their service (or the service of their fallen brothers) like the comments Trump gave last night about as well as showing up in the middle of Harlem and shouting the N-word through a megaphone. I haven’t talked to anybody I know who’s served since Trump made those comments, but I don’t even think the Trump-friendly ones would be willing to vote for him after that. Again, everybody has their limits.


  • Even I never give Trump enough credit for finding the absolutely worst possible option available to him and doubling down on it. He continues to amaze me with his ability to find levels of human stupidity that I did not think existed and saying “YES! WE CAN GO DEEPER!” (The only time he can ever say that, btw).

    The military has historically been ruby red. WHY THE FUCK would you EVER want to piss off such a reliable voting bloc by hurling these kind of attacks on the US military, entirely unprovoked? How does this net you a single vote?
