Yeah I'm clearly not making my point very well so I'll just leave it be.

Right? That's what the justice system fucking does. It goes after criminals. Not just black people.

No one can disagree she should be given a fucking medal.

Volar, who was White, had been filming his sexual abuse of Kizer, who is Black, for more than a year.

Ohhhhhhh. I see the problem here. Yikes. Justice is in serious jeopardy.

I didn't mean to imply the suit isn't legitimate. I'm sure out of all of them Starlink is the worst because Elon is such a fucking moron. I'm just not going to cheer the winner either way. I'm glad all the bad guys are fighting and I hope they have a bad quarter over it.

Firstly, lol. Of course to everything in that article. Can't believe I didn't already just assume that was true.

Second, I meant awarded one. That reads like the guy just symbolically gave the medal to Trump, but Trump isn't entitled to wear it. Anyone could have a replica Purple Heart, but without the citation it's just a gauche keepsake. It would be illegal for him to wear it—not that that would stop him or result in anyone telling him not to.

But it doesn't matter. Just idle speculation about exactly how big an asshole he is. Always shockingly so, but just not always in the ways I might predict.

Wow. I hate everyone here. I can't even say I hope the lawyers take everyone for lots of money because if someone is a lawyer for one of these companies, I hate them, too.

How about they just meet on the field of battle and sort it out that way?

Do you think if he got elected, due to being shot, he would give himself a Purple Heart? Or maybe a Medal of Honor?

I have no doubt he could with a straight face argue that running for Commander in Chief is essentially being in the military.

"No. Get fucked." gavel

... is how I dream of that going.

I love that movie. But it also had Charles Dance (Tywin Lannister) in it and a great villain really helped make LAH the classic it is. I think it exemplifies my comment: emotional core (relationship with the kid and his mom), better actors, good effects.

But I do wish it was given the respect you and I think it deserves.

Yeah, but the cadence is perfect. shrug

Then here comes Walz. Honest ordinary dude. No corruption. No evil scheming. Helps his people.

I think if you're a "drain the swamp" Trump voter, this guy has to look pretty good to you.

I get it. Hit Trump's base because she's having success in moving weak Trump supporters. But anything that puts money into Fox's hands doesn't make me feel good.

This is completely disgusting. Where exactly will they be so I can avoid them?

JD-Wan has taught you well.

That will sink Vance for good and save Trump face, but all those indictments don't care about face.

"Would you have flown with Trump to Epstein island and gotten a totally-appropriate massage from a thirteen year old girl complete with happy ending? And would you vote for Trump today?"

I don't recall when I first started using the internet. Late 80's or very early 90's. No WWW back then. It was all IRC and gopher and newsgroups and other things I don't remember. I lived near MSU, so I could dial in for free because it was a local call.

And then once you got in, it was hard to find anything to actually do. It kinda felt like exploring Mars. But eventually I found things. Very exclusive club and very good times that I miss. No advertisements. No one trying to make a sale.

it's often nitpicks ("I think one thing you said is wrong")

I think this happens. I know I've done it but I've expressly stated my agreement with everything else but hey this one thing needs examination. I think sometimes people leave that part unsaid and maybe they forgot or maybe they just don't have good arguments against.

Note I'm not mentioning anything else. It's because I largely agree with what you've said or don't think a counterpoint would be helpful.

I think the difference is when you have a small group everyone sort of considers themselves co-custodians of a space—lifting each other up and helping people integrate. But get enough people and it starts getting exhausting constantly trying to enforce norms against an ever growing community of people who don't understand or respect them. It's like social enshittification.

No one was inside his head, but he donated to Dems and registered Republican. He googled both Biden and Trump events and seemed to pick the most convenient one. So we can't know for sure, but none of the evidence points to any particular political motivation, just wanted to go out famous.
