The main takeaway from this election: the bulk of Mormons genuinely believe the ethical redlines in their scriptures, the bulk of evangelicals are exactly the craven amoral fucknuts everyone else has always suspected.

The Russians literally blew an airliner full of innocent human beings out of the sky a little more than a year ago, and then trolled the entire planet by plainly denying it and moving on while an entire angry western hemisphere stood around with its dick in its hands.

I don’t understand why he tweeted about Boeing, or why he felt it necessary to praise his business associates to Erdogan and essentially make them hostages in exchange for Fethullah Gulen, or why he does so many other things. His irrationality and incompetence is one of the things I fear most about him.

But it was sure as hell better there for people of certain beliefs than, say, Iran.

A criticism I heard was that young POC spent too much time on media representation and people ( white) were like we understand that tv isn’t real life. But clearly...

Right because America made Russia and Assad decimate his own people. We’re the worst right?

This is going to come off really harsh because I’m currently at one of my relatives’ homes, and they love reality tv and I.hate.this. shit. The shit is trash. You and I know it. And guess what? You muthafuckers keep watching it and keep feeding into it remaining on the air. The only way to stop this systematic dumbing…

Like documentaries are the objective truth or something? They can be just as skewed, fake and sensationalistic as Real Housewives.

We are masterful storytellers and we did our job well. What’s shocking to me is how quickly and decisively the world bought it. Did we think this clown, this buffoon with the funny hair, would ever become a world leader? Not once. Ever. Would he and his bombastic nature dominate in prime-time TV? We hoped so. Now…

This wasn’t a Pyrrhic victory. For Assad, the thousands of deaths and untold human suffering in East Aleppo isn’t a “cost” to be factored into the value of retaking the city. He’s a murderous dictator who shows no compunction at slaughtering his own countrymen en masse. In fact, the more people that were killed by…

We just let the Russians and Assad decimate every innocent woman and child in Aleppo, raise it to the ground, and now their agent orange is going to be our POTUS (on paper anyway, but Never My President!).

So I guess this is the point where Syria becomes the tolerant, multi-confessional, secular, democratic state that dozens of Assad apologists/Russian disinformation stooges have been assuring me for months that it will be.

I sure hope it turns out to have been pyrrhic for Assad & Russia. Hopefully they’ve created a situation where ultimately what they did here leads to them suffering terrible consequences, but it may not seeing as they are willing to rule with iron fists.

I was thinking about this earlier, specifically if the ethics of reality TV need to be reexamined. The Apprentice basically save Trump’s career and is directly related to the brand he parlayed to the White House. The thing is, obviously, that show is heavily edited and, even though it claims to be truthful, it isn’t.…

again? have i been asleep for 20 years because i’m pretty sure we’ve always been dumb and trashy.

If Obama can end the program that easily, wouldn’t it be just as easy for Trump to reinstate it? I would love it if it went away forever but this feels like a delaying tactic more than anything else.

“Citizens of the civilized galaxy, on this day we mark a transition. For a thousand years, the Republic stood as the crowning achievement of civilized beings. But there were those who would set us against one another, and we took up arms to defend our way of life against the Separatists. In so doing, we never…

No, Donald, we don’t “know your plans” because every time you allegedly discuss them, you speak in incomprehensible gibberish.

“You know my plans,” replied Senator Palpatine.
