Hey now! How ELSE was he supposed to “train up a child?” Certainly not by reading the Bible*!

Can’t, man. Might see that “the enemy” has compassion, and that’s close to an independent thought, and those are bad.

And his wife wouldn’t take a call from Biden, because her husband wouldn’t have wanted her to say a single word to Biden.

Honestly, I don’t see things changing until we’re on the other side of a significant, severe, domestic conflict. We are a nation of toddlers who do not recognize a problem until well *after* it has happened. We’re the fucking children who will boldly touch the active stove burner, yowl in pain, and then say shit like…

Oh, we’ve had a few. Highest profile one would be Liz Cheney, who was basically ejected from the party. Kinzinger is another, and occasionally Romney.

Adam Kinzinger is right there. Old School Republican. I don’t like his politics but at least he doesn’t appear to be a fucking psychopath.

I’m really, REALLY trying.

Gotta chase that Overton window gap! There’s CONTENT on the line!

What, you mean it’s a bad idea in a consumer economy to make people pay exorbitant rates to stay alive AND demand that they keep buying shit!?

It’s funny, because that’s one of the reasons these fuckers are so riled up: something happens that they didn’t learn in grade school (and which occurs in a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of the population), people say “Hey, this exists, just so you’re aware,” and it broke their fucking brains so…

If political punditry is pro wrestling, and it is, this shit was Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair having a match in their 70s.

The funny thing about “unity?” That requires a few things:

Indeed.

If it helps, I’m not taking the discussion too seriously, because it’s Star Wars, and people tend to take those particular discussions WAY too seriously (not you, specifically).

Correct! They buy/win them from slavers.

So I don’t know why we’re breaking our backs to be “the bigger person” here.

Nah, dude’s been “feeling it” for years. There is no bottom. None.

It’s funny, because it was basically a studio race to see which gang movie could get out first: this or The Warriors, and the two movies couldn’t be more different aside from featuring gangs.

I dug the Ducky Boys. Just a legion of hardscrabble Irish kids who did not give a FUCK.

I did not expect a deep dive on The Wanderers, but I don’t hate it! I owe it a rewatch.
