  • Melania Trump's 'absolute stinker' of a documentary buried by reviewers

    Jump

  • "a bad film made by bad people about bad people."

    I don't remember the last time I read something so brief and blunt but so accurate.

    "If you’re hoping Melania will have a ‘so bad it’s good’ energy, I’m afraid it does not. Melania is not Cats," Smith concluded.

    It's deemed so bad even that awful live action Cats movies is far superior? Holy shit!

    I look forward to the song on YouTube with lyrics comprised purely from bad review quotes. This is going to be the spiritual sequel to Rachel Ziegler's Snow White disaster.

  • People fight back against the leopards who ate their faces, let's help them

    Jump

  • I know it can be entertaining (in a schadenfreude type way at least in my case) to read about people who got screwed over after voting so eagerly for Trump and his cohorts. But this seems like a really powerful, helpful, and positive website.

    And I applaud these people for publicly acknowledging their mistake. It wasn't easy, but it's a brave thing they are doing. We all make mistakes (some bigger than others of course). But the important thing is to learn from them.

    It's through these people that others can hopefully learn and find a path out. Even if it's just a couple of dozen people, that's something.

  • Rep. Ilhan Omar Assaulted by Protester at Town Hall Meeting

    Jump

  • Is it me, or did that guy look drunk as a skunk?

  • White House backtracks initial claims about Alex Pretti after intense backlash

    Jump

  • Too late. They all played their cards way too early and ignorantly. We all know the ridiculous bullshit they said. And just like the videos of Pretti's murder, their comments are indelibly on record. And no amount of backtracking will change that. America will remember.

  • Morale is plummeting among ICE agents over long hours, quotas and public hatred: reports

    Jump

  • “It’s completely unfair to the agents who have been put in this position,” he added. “There’s only so much they can handle before bad things start to happen.”

    They knew exactly what they were getting themselves into. Most of them want those bad things to happen. They masturbate over the prospect of that brutality.

    This is just some asshole trying to hand-wave away the crimes these people are doing under the guise of "boo hoo, poor them!"

    They deserve zero sympathy. And all of them who have harassed, threatened, kidnapped, hurt, or murdered people should be brought to justice.

  • France will replace Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Zoom, Webex and others with its own sovereign video conferencing application "Visio" for public officials

    Jump

  • I doubt they will care that much. But it will create a bit of confusion, at least for since in the short-term.

  • France will replace Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Zoom, Webex and others with its own sovereign video conferencing application "Visio" for public officials

    Jump

  • Kind of funny considering that Visio is the name of another Microsoft product.

    ETA: I'm not defending Microsoft's usage of the term 'Visio' here. The French use of that term makes a lot of sense, and Microsoft has an annoying tendency of using and copyrighting very common terms like 'Word' or 'SQL Server'. And France (or the French government) should be allowed to use it for their video conferencing software. I'm just smiling at the idea of some people opening Microsoft Visio by mistake and trying to figure out how to make a call through a diagramming app.

  • Does anyone have any advice for young adults that are struggling in life?

    Jump

  • Try to take things one step at a time. For the first step, prioritize what you need to do into a list, and then start at the top and work slowly downwards. But don't take on more than 2 or 3 things at once.

    The prioritized list might look overwhelming and stress you out. But remember that you are taking an active, organized step towards getting things under control, and give yourself lots of credit and praise for doing that. And things might seem like they are going slowly, especially at first. But remember that you are making progress, even when it might seem like you aren't.

  • Trump Is Making an Enemy of the Gun Lobby

    Jump

  • Mr "take the guns first, deal with due process later" doesn't care about gun rights? Really?!

    As others have said, he never cared about them. And the signs were there to see. But too many people chose to ignore those signs out of convenience.

  • Furious Democrats float national guard, government shutdown over latest Minneapolis shooting

    Jump

  • These articles...

    fatally shot

    The word they're looking for is 'murdered '.

  • Trump supporters back bid to annex Greenland: ‘Our president is a negotiator’

    Jump

  • Everyone is technically a negotiator, because it's part of human communications. But some are better at negotiating than others.

    And Trump is an absolutely terrible negotiator. TACO Don frequently overplays his negotiating hand and then gets himself boxed in to an untenable situation.

  • Grumpy Trump Sues Poll Because His Popularity Is Plummeting

    Jump

  • "Yes sir, your new clothes are fabulous! What's that, they look and feel like there's nothing there? And all the peasants are laughing at you for being naked? No no! The clothes are meant to feel and look that way! Everything is fine!"

  • ICE detains five-year-old Minnesota boy as he came home, say school officials

    Jump

  • Fucking monsters.

  • Americans Bear Almost All the Cost of Trump Tariffs, Study Shows

    Jump

  • "Some of you will lose a lot of money and starve. But that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make!" -Trump

  • [Discussion] A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms - S01E01 - The Hedge Knight

    Jump

  • That's a good point about that scene. When it happened my reaction was "and why was that needed?!" But I can see your point. It was a strong counterpoint between the idealized gallantry of the nobility and the harsh, unpleasant nature of every day life for those further down the totem pole.

  • Is it dementia? It's is it that she's no longer of any importance to him? Probably both.

  • Norway Stunned After Machado Gifts Nobel Peace Prize Medal to Trump

    Jump

  • Revoking send a stronger message.

  • Norway Stunned After Machado Gifts Nobel Peace Prize Medal to Trump

    Jump

  • Then revoke it from her. It won't stop Trump from having his physical participation trophy. But it will put a big fat asterisk next to that year's every and send a message to future winners.

    Better still, let the spite flow through them: revoke it and award that year to someone who Trump fucking hates.
