He could have just honored his father by dangling himself over a balcony...

But the point is not to win anyway. It's a SLAPP that's designed to consume resources and invigorate the base.

It remains an extremely high bar for public figures. And actual malice is different than malice/reckless/negligent.

And retain their regular tax breaks funded by US as well...

It's combined with his insatiable need for adulation and the dopamine that comes from the art of the grift.

He's a loudmouth but way too reasonable to replace Paxton if Paxton wins senatorship away from Cornyn.

That implies that you would only shoplift as much as you've lost to tariffs. I'll draw up a spreadsheet to keep track...

"man" in the loosest sense of the word.

That's not breaking, that's old news. Haven't you seen the latest poll? 95% of the world population want #DerPumpkinFührer to be sent to a black site...

Today I turn 89. I’ve seen this country at its best and its worst, and I know how much community matters. For my birthday, I’m asking you to stand with PFLAG and support the work that’s helped so many in the LGBTQ+ community, including me. give.pflag.org/page/95493/d...

If you're gonna go all in, please consider lifting from retailers that overwhelmingly support illiberal causes and are partly responsible for this mess!🤣

Maybe he can force project a Fred Trump avatar into the WH to tell Donald that he loves him, he's proud of him, and that Donald's enough.

I disagree. We are social animals and people are meant to live together, period. Did people discover some things they couldn't do before because of social pressures? Yes, and many liked it. But this set of anecdotal data does not a reworking of human genetics and mental models make.

That 37% is mostly the result of the disinformation economy and Trump's own unabashed and largely amoral efforts to make people tie their identity to his fake success.

The fact that Collins is unconcerned is already a big win... 🤣

You can just hear a bunch of intellectually dishonest cynical assholes saying that Democrats just hide market manipulation better. Ummm, no, they don't.

How fucked up is this cruel world when we're unrealistically rooting for Iran to stick it to this asshole with no other consequences except for him and the MAGA faithful?

When you see a guy walking around with bone spurs, that was God that did that...

Different enough to make you an absolute HYPOCRITE (I'm shocked I tell you!) and simp for an even bigger malignant, narcissistic, cult-leading HYPOCRITE?!?

"You will be visited by three different versions of McCain's Ghost tonight but unfortunately for us all you will just rationalize them away as another bad case of DTs."

Episodic television was structured that way for financial reasons. Most shows did not make back significant multiples of production cost until they made it to syndication.

It's fucking ridiculous and there are people a lot worse off than us!

I wonder if anyone ever said this about Kirk as XO of the Farragut. 🤔🤣🤔

Or is this just the modern GOP?

Well then I'm curious. Are there any abhorrent/sociopathic acts committed by broken people that you can understand without condoning? For example, people who are subject to relentless brutality in their childhood who go on to become abusers or murderers?

I am NOT supporting or excusing the act. I am only acknowledging the extraordinary pressures beyond emotions like hate that can cause this to happen.

What I simply mean is people become mentally unstable here in the US under nominally better day to day conditions. I can't imagine the kind of horrors that people have suffered there but I could understand if a Ukrainian had cracked in this manner.

Speaking of whom.

Don't forget the absolutely stunning Goldsmith score. Even with its slow pacing that saves the *feeling* of the movie and sense of awe just as much as the visuals! Btw, the officers' sideburns are the bomb and I've never been able to reproduce them for myself.

Even if they were Ukrainian, one could understand (not support) the behavior given the enormous life stress everyone is under there.
