No shit. Billionaire pays poor people to embarrass or endanger themselves, uses it to promote himself.

Here’s an idea for a video: Mr. Beast and the Box of Knives. Him, the people he exploits, and a box of knives. Whoever kills him gets to keep his money.

That’s the content I want to see.

“Not going to talk about couches”? Oh yes you are. You’ve been hoisted by your own petard, and you’re gonna stay up there till we decide to take you down (we won’t, you deserve it).

Why ask the liar to explain what he meant? He meant what he said, just like in 2020 when he said he would only accept the results of the election if he won.

There won’t be another presidential election if he wins. Not a fair one, at least. Vance will do what Pence wouldn’t; declare all electoral votes against Trump to be fraudulent. Make sure Congress gets to decide who wins, voting by state, with one vote per state. More Republican delegations than Democratic means Trump wins. Then the stooges on the Supreme Court rubber-stamp it. Dictator for life. With scarier people waiting in the wings for after he dies (Hawley is terrifying).

Emigrate now if you can.

“Fetal personhood” was always the next shoe to drop after they overturned Roe. I was a little surprised the court didn’t go straight there in Dodd.

All that shit the court said about the states being able to decide about abortion? Lies. These right-wing nutcases are out to ban abortion everywhere. And they will, through fetal personhood. We can’t pass a law to kill a PERSON without due process, can we?

It’ll happen in the next five years unless we reform the court or impeach the six frauds. Based on our current tendency to go from bad to worse, I doubt either of those will happen.

Emigrate now if you can.

PROPAGANDA. Please use the actual word. Why use two words when one do trick?

But why?!

I’ll never forgive her for Bush v. Gore. Literally destroyed the country. If she’d voted for the law, not for her party, there’d have been no Bush Administration, no was on terror, no Trump, no Dobbs. And we’re not done yet; there’s probably a Republican dictatorship in our near future.

The damage she did is incalculable. I’m glad she’s gone.

And so begins the parade of Argentinians having their faces eaten off by leopards after voting for the Leopards Eating Faces Party.

Wow, Kentucky racists accidentally did something good for once. Everyone gets a much better governor for the next 4 years because a bunch of hicks couldn’t bring themselves to vote for a black man.

A win is a win, I guess.

And he’s the kind of person who’ll just keep stepping further over the line until the hammer finally comes down. Judges know this type, and they usually throw them in jail sooner because they know the violations will only get worse.

But I doubt this guy’s ever going to jail. He’s rich and famous, so…different rules.

“Taking matters into their own hands,” as in “considering options for suicide.”

Everyone should read Ian Kershaw’s two-volume biography of Hitler if you really want to be scared. The volumes are titled “Hubris” and “Nemesis.” Once you realize how goddamned ordinary Hitler was, you start seeing guys like him everywhere. As soon as the correct circumstances present themselves, we’re fucked.
