  • JFC you're dense. The DNC has actual by-laws prohibiting favoritism in the primaries (which is why 2016 was so fucked). Expecting the the DNC chair to advocate breaking the rules of the DNC is fucking stupid.

    Your blaming your own inability to read between the lines on Martin. Grow up.

  • According to an NBC report I saw on this, Trumps legal team requested a delay and the DA didn't reply to the request. That kind of tied the judges hands and this (non)action is the norm for this situation. A break from the norm would help trump on appeal.

  • I'm just going to rec some good creators that filled the void.

    Matt Orchard probably has the highest quality content. Strong recommendation for him.

    Dreading. Seems Intentionally dry but covers the most details of a case. Sometimes posting 4 hours of courtroom footage.

    Explore with Us. Probably the most tabloid style presentation and worst editorial takes. They have the longest chunks of police interrogation though. They have alt channels for body cam stuff too which is pretty dope.

  • It's totally unfair to use Caitlin Clark as an example of the pay disparity as well. She's a rookie on a pay scale. Her salary is less than half the average wnba salary. What's really crazy to me is that the average salary is about 150k with only one woman making over 250k. For the salaries to be that flat seems odd compared to other pro sports but it's just a part of the W having less revenue. Athletes have very strong unions also.

  • You do know that professional sports is considered part of the entertainment industry, right? This is like you insisting that Margot Robbie and Christian Slater should be paid the same because they do the same job.

  • "Some of the best players in the wnba could likely play in the NBA..."

    As an avid NBA fan (occasionally watch wnba) this is absolutely not true. Golf, Nascar, Tennis, yeah. It's more likely to happen in the NFL than it is in the NBA though, because specialists positions like kicker. The NBA, players are required to play both offense and defense. For a woman to have both the pure athleticism to be competitive with the best 500 male basketball players in the world? Not an impossibility but she'd still likely be bench depth and seen as a pr motivated move. That level of nba player gets paid, maybe, 3x the top paid WNBA player but it's give and take with potential endorsements etc.

  • First car was a 93 Carolla named the rockolla. Then an 87 Supra turbo that looked like it was straight out of mad max. That was Facemelter. Then I had Gump, the no runner (a 4runner that was always breaking down) and then the station dragon. My current car is Beyonce.

  • Villifing the "other" is throwing red meat to the base. It's an easy sell to the ignorant. And also the very first target of the Nazis. Trans people are the lowest hanging fruit for the mental midgets that make up the maga base.

    Democrats need to learn something though, because when trump is, finally, irrelevant there will be a vacuum. I don't think it's hard to make an appeal if you look at Bernie sanders crossover appeal and the mistakes of the Clinton's.

    Clinton's are called "third way democrats" designed to win back some "Reagan democrats". Economic policies that are very similar to conservatives while relying on social justice issues for their legitimacy among the base fron the left. That left literally zero benefit and minimal consideration for working class and rural whites. It's also why I love the pick of Walz, he speaks to this voting bloc very effectively and the way Kamala is handling the campaign, specifically shutting down the "lock him up" chants makes me think that dems are on this wavelength also.

    The case that needs to be made is something I've best heard described by MLK (I've also heard Bernie echo the same term) as "Economic Justice". Which is basically Marxist class theories and the money aspect of "all of God's children, being free at last." regardless of race. Being able to judo the "out of touch liberal elites" developed under the concept of Clinton democrats into "out of touch billionaire weirdos" of Trump, Vance and Musk is something the DNC should really focus on. Easier said than done though, those weirdos have infinite firehoses of infinite bullshit.

  • I made a choice to stop engaging. After this post I'll stick to it, i dont have the time today. Have fun with the final word on this, if you'd like. Your last statement and the importance of this to you is a clear demonstration of your ego and validates one if the first observations I made. Quoting myself:

    "Don't be obtuse (maybe pedantic is a better term) because you have a bad take on this. It's a bad look."

    Bye cutiepie
