  1. Texas Woman Who 'Nearly Died' Savages Ted Cruz At Senate Hearing Over Abortion Ban Amanda Zurawski, who's suing Texas for its abortion law, castigated Cruz and Sen. John Cornyn in fierce terms. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/amanda-zurawski-ted-cruz-john-cornyn-death-on-their-hands_n_644a56a5e4b0d840388d0de4
  2. I don't think Murdoch is remotely done with Carlson yet. Looks like he has plenty of ammunition. Tucker Carlson’s vulgar language in texts contributed to Fox News firing – report Host called senior colleague a C-word in text message obtained by lawyers as part of Dominion lawsuit https://www.theguardian.com/media/2023/apr/26/tucker-carlson-fired-text-message-fox-executive
  3. Smartmatic wants more than Dominion’s $787 million payout, plus a retraction from Fox for its 2020 election lies, lawyer says https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/20/media/smartmatic-fox-news-retraction/index.html
  4. This is really laughable in the overcompensation much like Don Trump Jr. I think the point is while the authorities are carefully measuring if a man's baggy pants count officially as a skirt and thus illegal the hope is no one will notice what a pathetic specimen of a male Shapiro is. Did that hair come off a Lego guy?
  5. Elia Kane. That is indeed a huge dangling thread that wasn't addressed. I'm sure it'll be addressed elsewhere, possibly in Ahsoka. I imagine she'll end up working for Thrawn if Gideon is indeed gone for good. Given she's still implanted with the New Republic she could also attain higher rank and cause even more chaos for them.
  6. Enjoyed the finale, but also obviously not blown away like the end of season 2. Good action and that's what this show does best. Really glad that Mando is going back to doing jobs as that is also what this show does best. I was really glad to see Mando and Grogu fight together as partners and it worked well. My main problem with Grogu in the past is he often gets used as a Hand of God in between having to be protected most of the time. No Gideon body is really damn annoying. Especially since he probably has 200 other clones somewhere. So they have a million ways basically to bring him back. The wrap up with the Mandalorians was easily the worst part of the ep. It's good it is wrapped up though. It was a lot like the rebels fleeing from the Hoth base for them. They were much better used in the pirate battle episode. They clearly wanted to focus on Mando/Grogu this ep which isn't a bad decision as it's their show, but the whole Mandalorian plot kind of concluded with a whimper.
  7. Thanks. Yeah, actually what I take from that is she also hates/fears transvestites. Which is something I didn't know about the situation.
  8. That was actually the Paul Ryan standard for Trump. He called his comments racist, but could not bring himself to label Trump a racist. Because he can't read minds. I guess we need some Vulcans in here right away before making any determinations about anyone ever.
  9. Fox News-Dominion settlement totals more than $787 million, Dominion lawyer says https://www.cnn.com/business/live-news/fox-news-dominion-trial-04-18-23/index.html
  10. I've heard on the radio conservative arguments about this. They often focus on opportunities for teenagers. Gaining job skills, making more money before 18. So Reagan blowing sunshine up your ass, basically. And if adults earning at or near the minimum wage are brought up it often turns to abusive victim blaming. They should work harder/work more hours/ become entrepreneurs. And of course they use teenagers working as an excuse to keep minimum wage low. The argument being if the minimum wage is low employers are more likely to hire teenagers who may have a hard time finding employment.
  11. Pales in comparison to the Koch network and affiliates. Pales in comparison to the Federalist Society.
  12. It's a great way to distract from actual power though to point out some really loud person online. Man, first thing I'm signing up for when the Great Leftist Utopia gets here is the free abortions. I just hate babies that much, especially the Yodas.
  13. Accused shooter in Kansas City shooting of Black teen who went to the wrong house is White man in his 80s https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/17/us/kansas-city-teen-shot-wrong-house/index.html CNN —
  14. I wouldn't expect the series to go down the road of Lost. The writers are quite aware of Lost to the point they purposely put in Lost callbacks into the show. Some of them I've spotted because they are obvious despite me not having seen Lost in many years now. But others I missed and read about in articles. The novel Ben was reading "The Magus." Its plot is a Lost callback. I've never read it so I had to have that pointed out to me. But there's a lot of Lost callbacks in general in the show. So no, I don't think they will be copying large plot points from Lost, quite the opposite as they are quite aware.
  15. That's the nicer terms thrown around by them. For example they'll call Democrats slavers.
  16. Go woke, go broke Or just don't vote, stay home and toke As long as the suits get to snort more Coke And the priest get more kids to choke.
  17. Who were the 2 that chased Travis at Doomcoming along with Shauna? I would guess they are 2 of the 8. They seemed like wild cannibal warriors in that scene.
  18. Billionaire Harlan Crow Bought Property From Clarence Thomas. The Justice Didn’t Disclose the Deal. https://www.propublica.org/article/clarence-thomas-harlan-crow-real-estate-scotus
  19. Yeah, the novel and film "Mazes and Monsters" was based on this. How playing D&D could drive you insane. Not much different than Reefer Madness. I think some conservative Christians hate D&D so much because of some of the occult content. It's no different than some of these churches that ban celebration of Halloween. There's some overlap in the content. I have played D&D 32 years now and I can confirm I have had no urge to join any cults.
  20. Pentagon leaks linked to young gun enthusiast who worked at military base – report Man known online as ‘OG’ is said to have access to large amounts of classified material and to regard intelligence services as repressive https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/apr/13/pentagon-leaks-og-source-military-base-discord-report
  21. A Texas county that was ordered to return banned books to its shelves is set to consider shutting down its library system https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/12/us/texas-llano-county-library-banned-books/index.html
  22. Yeah, I've been long annoyed at the calls to ban video games. It's just very sad and grotesque we are going to endure a certain amount of deaths so that some grown-assed people can G.I. Joe cosplay. And all enforced by a Supreme Court that wants these wackos no where near them.
  23. Fear is a big one, definitely. But it's not the only factor. The 2 lawyers in St. Louis that pointed a gun at protesters were definitely fearful, also racist. It's politics, too. If you buy 5 assault rifles and post them on social media you'll definitely piss off a liberal somewhere in America. Sure you spent a bunch of money and made your family less safe, but mission accomplished at lib trolling. The best way I've come to terms with this though is it's adults buying toys. And that conclusion made me lose a lot of respect for gun owners by the way. And I was somewhat pro gun as recently as the late 90's. It's like adults buying video game systems which I fully admit to doing. It's kind of childish, but my Xbox is unlikely to kill anyone either intentionally or by accident. There's toxic masculinity wrapped up in it as well.
  24. Wow. I not only think De Satan is done with (I already thought that), but it sounds like he has gone off the deep end. I'm scrolling through Deadline and looking for entertainment news, not politics. And the headline is Satan threatening to destroy Disney and creating hotel taxes and road tolls. Obviously he thought he could out culture warrior Trump on multiple fronts and this was one was of them. But it appears really lost in the weeds and getting trolled by the mouse company even before Trump gets started on him.
