Honestly, that window of opportunity for Russians has closed, possibly for a very long time. By now, much of the gov is designed to quickly and brutally control opposition and protests.

For contrast: Just on the other side of the border a decade ago, tens of thousands of courageous Ukrainians seized a very similar opportunity. They fought and died for it, did not give up, and won the battle. Fuck Putin and his Yanukovych puppets, hello Zelenskyy and EU. But Ukrainians are still fighting to finish the war. They should be incredibly proud of their achievements so far.

I believe that was the intent, my nutsack. “Crooked and Obscene” describes the artwork, former potus and his penis (allegedly).

Agreed. Competition is gone. This is also a sign that there will be very little investment or improvement in the industry, so it now exists primarily to extract wealth from the most desperate folks, until it all crumbles and the golden parachutes are deployed.

All I hear in this instance is, “I’m still ultra butthurt about the impeachments!” Which explains GOP reps’ desperate and embarrassing “inquiries” into anything that oozes out of his mouth. They’re so unbelievably pathetic.

At the very least, this guy should be captured and studied for his completely hairless situation. More naked mole rat than human. But nice try with the glasses…

I wonder if anybody remembers when it leaked Microsoft had a concept of a plan about restrictions on Xbox discs (used/shared), everyone gasped, Sony mocked them in a video about “sharing discs” on PS4 and became a turning point in the console wars…

Even a decade later: Remove discs at your peril! Half the reason I’ve even bought consoles is for Blu-ray movies (still unbeatable AV quality). Sony won both the console and disc drive wars FFS! Still not enough. “Line must go up more!”

I hope MS is at least mocking them back right now, for giggles. Before announcing a very similar thing next year…

Half the population would do nothing, just take out their phones to record it, then pretend they could’ve never changed the result. “I can’t believe the trolley did that! Yeah, I caught it on video!”

I think they know there’s a 60-70% chance they are not welcome at any given place (if only for cameras and disruption, but also for deranged asshole followers). So the strategy is don’t ask, just show up, and threaten if there’s a problem. What a surprise.

They love to punish employees by withholding their paychecks for a few weeks or months. With solidarity and support, the executives will regret it.

In this case, Pootytang has developed the plan, so it probably exists. It would probably work out as well as Donnie’s previous master negotiations with terrorists.

It’s gonna feel great to vote and finally terminate his presidency, then watch the cult lose their minds, fracture and fade into oblivion (or prison).

Agreed, the relentless ads are intolerable (probably due to fewer listeners, which leads to a death spiral, much like antenna TV). I haven’t heard anyone recommend radio since before the iPod. I’d prefer nature/noise as well.

On very special occasions I’ll ride an escalator.

Still doing so. Now Comer is targeting Walz. What a surprise. They will never get over T**** getting impeached twice.

First it was, “I’m going to Springfield!” Then it was, “…in a couple weeks.” Like his healthcare plan and infrastructure week, it was then that we all knew it wasn’t going to happen anytime soon.

Agreed. I thought it was one of the best things out of her mouth at the event (which was surprisingly well done, worth a watch). I think people want to see more honest, unprepared remarks from her (she’s been really staying on message). But I doubt there will be many more events like this with hosts like Oprah, who is quite skilled at producing these moments.

Agreed. At least until after their civil war and subsequent liberation from christofascism / white nationalism. Ironic how the angriest, most poisoned, deranged savages are in the most incompetently governed republican strongholds…

He’s incredibly paranoid and conspiracy minded. He probably realized after “just asking questions / joking” that “they” might send a few of these guys for him next! 2spooky4him

I’m trying to imagine how T**** would try to handle this. First, extort Boeing execs in exchange for help. Then, once the “donations” clear, use all powers and pressures to crush the strike, firing so-called strike leaders (illegal? add it to the pile…), and dump in more police/military for intimidation.

Bernie and progressives will undoubtedly fully support workers, join the line. Biden can strengthen his “most pro-union president” legacy (it’s a low bar, not perfect). Great opportunity for Harris and Walz (but it needs to be very strong or it will only disappoint).

Nobody even shot at him. He was not in danger. But maybe he will still fake an injury, we’ll have to wait and see.

A decade after stating they’re working on a plan, years after saying it would be unveiled “in two weeks”. What a disappointment, that we’re forced to take these obvious pathological liars seriously again.
