The really crazy part is that if they just increased the time slot, they would have room to stuff in even more commercials. So why cut anything at all?

Even worse was that they would "cut movies to length" which actually meant it was stuffed full of commercials and then parts of the movie got trimmed off to make it fit in the time slot that they wanted to fit it into. I honestly grew up thinking that most of Clint Eastwoods westerns were completely fucking insane. They were just so damn random and often kinda rapey. Then I finally watched one on a cable with no commercials. I was so fucking confused. I thought I was having a stroke. Finally someone understood what was going on and explained to me about how they cut the movies for tv

I think if you look at everything that his administration is doing, I definitely believe that they are trying to stir up enough shit to get people to lash out, and then they will declare martial law and then we will effectively have a new monarchy in the USA.

Do I really think that Trump would have someone killed just to change the national conversation? Of course he would, without any problem. However, I don't think Trump had him killed mostly because I don't think Trump is running the show. When I compare his first administration to his second, they are clearly not being run by the same people.

Trump is also obviously as bad off as Biden was at the end. He's a zombie puppet that gets dragged out for show.

There's also the disappearing buildings too.

You are correct, and I think most people on the left feel exactly the same. Which I think is why the people who seem to be shooting at the conservatives have been the same nuts that they have been stirring up to back them. However, I also understand why people feel such schadenfreude for the very people who are the ones out there motivating the nuts in the first place.
The real question is will Trump use this as the excuse they have been looking for to declare martial law?

Secondarily, anyone want to place bets on how long it will take for us to find out that the shooter was right wing nutter?

From B to GGG! Holy shit! That's fucking insane. I thought we were talking about some general swelling sort of on the order of what happens with pregnant women. And it happened within a 6 month period? I can't even begin to comprehend what that must have been like. She would have had to have woken up every morning with a noticable increase in size. I'll bet it started out as a "wow, this is a nice little perk" and very rapidly escalated to "WTF!". I also really like that the all fixed picture is waaayy bigger than the original B size.

Don't condescend to these people. They have the same satellite/cable TV and broadband internet that the rest of us have. These are educated people. Do you realize how many programs, grants, and entire colleges are focused on farmers/ranchers? Half the colleges in the south are either agriculture colleges or have agriculture programs. Even the inner city highschools have FFA programs. These people went to college and have at least 4 year college degree.
They may be awash in propaganda , so are the rest of us. But they outright defended the pedo who praised the Nazis and said he wanted to be a king. They cheered when he said that if he got elected they would never have to vote again. This is what they knowingly voted for.

Me reading this on my piece of shit phone: uh oh

Their plan doesn't make sense because you think that their goals are the same as yours.
Have you ever read the Bible? Or even about the bible? This shit is seriously insane. You should read about the book of Job. God makes a bet with Satan that Job is just as awesome as God has been bragging about and as part of the bet Satan gets to spend an insane amount of time and effort murdering Job's family and servants, destroying all his shit, torturing him and generally fucking him up for shits and giggles. God lets Satan absolutely go to town on his "favorite of all time", not to force Satan to change his ways or reform in any way, but just for a "I told you so".
Now imagine you get force fed this shit every Sunday, at least every Sunday, probably even nightly. You get it drilled into you this is not only 100% absolute truth, but also the book on which you are supposed to base our every thought and action in your life.
People like RFK aren't looking to save lives, or cure illness, they are looking to make people suffer and die.
And then you have the rest of them that are looking to make money off of it.

I was active on reddit for 12 years. Odds are pretty high that there's a bot with my "voice" out there doing something shady.

I haven't sent anything to anyone that wasn't spell checked in more than a decade. So, ya it's going to be a weird future where you just choose the comment you want to respond to and AI fills it out for you.
