They must continue to find a group to marginalize and paint as “the other,” either subtly or overtly, on which to focus the attention of their voter base. Otherwise, the voters might realize they are being robbed blind by the people they’ve elected.

Kind of along these lines, I’ve often wondered what the endgame is for racists/white supremacists. Like, what do you want out of this? Re-enslavement? Re-segregation? Mass deportation of non-whites? None of these extreme outcomes are even remotely realistic. So why not just, you know, decide to live with people and…

As long as they provide an enemy “other” their base will continue to vote just on fear alone and not on any issues.

Because the Republican platform is based around hurting someone. It doesn’t really matter who it is. The people that they cater to, the people that they court for donations and votes, are the people that need to feel that they are better than someone. They will support anything as long as it makes someone else’s life…

I don’t get why republicans continue to try to find outlets to exhibit hate. Like what does that flow chart look like? Is it ok to hate on black? Not openly? Ok.. how about LGBTQ? Oh, that isn’t ok? Minorities? Shit. How about Trans? That is still ok?

Our state leadership is an embarrassment. At a time when so many Texans are hurting, do they focus on helping? No, only more hurting. 

“Actually, Amy, saying stuff like that reinforces steryotypes by saying that its the exeption rather than the norm”. Yeah I know the entire joke by heart. Sonic boom is the best sonic show. Fight me.

Yeah as a non comics reader I definitely remember it seeming weird that they went for 20 or whatever movies without having a female protagonist/superhero. And then on top of that when it came out it ended up being kind of a throwaway in my opinion. I liked the “Captain Marvel” movie mostly because I’m a huge Brie…

It actively didn’t make sense to me that the MCU waited 11 years to release a female helmed movie. Not only was it confusing that Black Widow didn’t get a solo film (and got weirdly left out of the merch for The Avengers if I recall), but movie audiences were primed for big budget young adult content with female…

I definitely didn’t say that those movies came out because of political correctness...what a strange misinterpretation. I just remember when we were waiting for ages for a superhero movie with a Black or female lead. Do you not remember that time?

It’s as if they’re literally telling us that they don’t read books without pictures.

“HDMI Device Link” is Sony’s branding for HDMI-CEC, which your display needs to both support and have enabled for devices to be able to take advantage of it. It’s been around for ages, but it’s a flaky standard with even flakier adoption, so it’s mostly just used for changing the volume on your home theater with your…

My understanding is he’ll now need to win a series of matches, in various unlikely settings, to get them back.

Did he sign a prenuptial?

On the other hand, fuck that guy.

My editor thought of the very good joke “despawn the police” once it was too late for me to add it, so please enjoy it as a reward for looking at the comments.

Depends on the local law. If Japan has community property laws, then those are her cards too and she is free to sell them.

Scrolling through those posters is like scrolling through my childhood, the parts spent at the video store. Enzio, you will be missed.

I remember a local story a number of years ago about a woman who was pulled over and raped by a fake cop on a dark highway. At the time, the police said it’s perfectly acceptable to drive slowly to a well-lit/safe place to pull over. I’ve always wondered if that’s really the case.
