    Too many of them weren’t joking. That was a rather popular conspiracy theory during the Obama years; that Michelle is trans (or, to hear them tell it, “really a man”) and their daughters are actors.









  • Then why specifically the superintendent? Even if this was a bullying issue with an unsatisfactory conclusion, there’s no way he would have engaged with the superintendent of the district without engaging with the principal first. They would both have failed to resolve the problem, so why would he have gone after the superintendent specifically and left the principal there to shake his daughter’s hand?

    And, of course, the other issue is, even if that was true, that doesn’t make what he did OK. He’s marginally less shitty by virtue of not being openly racist, but he still made sure that his daughter’s last memory of high school is him getting arrested for assaulting the district superintendent and embarrassing her in front of the entire graduating class and their families.

    XP actually wasn’t great on release, though I don’t know anybody who clung to ME, considering it was itself a huge dumpster fire. It wasn’t until SP1 hit that XP got really good.

    Most of us were just riding out 98SE as long as we could until MS got their shit together. Some people had 2000, but it wasn’t really a consumer-class OS; it was meant more for the enterprise.

    I always looked at Team America as a satire of right wing thought. Basically the Bush worldview taken to comical extremes.

    I know Parker and Stone are lolbertarians, but they managed to actually skewer the right pretty well back in the day.


  • And what chance do you think the Democrats are going to have to reform after Donald Trump undoes the entire democratic process and proclaims himself president for life?

    He’s not going to go away quietly. We know this. He proved it on 1/6, and he’s outright saying it out loud again now. Stop pretending he’s just another politician. He’s a wannabe despot, and we need to not give him another chance to become an actual one.

    Look, Biden is garbage. The Democrats are garbage. But at least they’re garbage that play by the fucking rules. If Trump wins, I honestly do not believe we are going to get another chance at this.
