Yeah, I've really been surprised by the amount of negative press on Trump. He seems like himself to me.

After exclusively using android for 10 years I switched to an iPhone. Only regret is not doing it sooner.

GOP senators alarmed by chaos over House spending bills
Okay McConnell says government shut downs are a loser for republicans politically. Why though? I assumed at this point they could do whatever they wanted and no one in their party would care. Are their doners getting money from the government or something?

US man charged for framing immigrant in fake plot to kill Trump
I love that the immigrant can now be granted legal status because he was the victim of a crime. It's a decent silver lining.

Does spanking harm child development? Major study challenges common beliefs
Reply in thread
Preachers kid who also turned out to be queer. I was terrified of getting spanked. Years of my parents telling me my ass was part of my private area and no one should ever touch it then my father pulling my underwear down and spanking me seriously fucked me up.

Harris delivered a ‘masterclass’ debate. Will it change the race?

You're not wrong. It all sucks. But this is the reality we live in. Life is about choosing the best choices out of the options given to us and very rarely are any of those choices exactly what we want.

This has been my takeaway with a lot of news the last year or two. As depressing as the headlines have been, I'm starting to see an underline shift in public perception. There's a growing fear in the politicians, celebrities, and billionaires at the top that once thought they were untouchable. They're not the idols they used to be.

Sure but I don't think we've ever had a candidate with so many former hand picked aids warn us about the end of democracy if he's reelected.

Democrats' dilemma: Biden's agenda is popular, but he is not
Reply in thread
Yeah I'm right there with you. Biden has accomplished a lot. I don't agree with everything he's said or done but as a whole he's done a fantastic job turning America around. If he can beat Trump once he can beat him again and that is paramount. Plus it gives dems another 4 years to start pushing younger more progressive candidates into the spotlight.

Exactly this. If she turns on Isreal she will lose the election. I think it's realistic to think that she will have more criticisms on Isreal after she is elected. She's not a Zionist like Biden.

Unfortunately, there is a downside to allowing Trump to win. It's the trolly problem and yes I will help pull the lever that kills people to keep even more people from dying.

Taylor Swift Drove Nearly 338K People to Vote.gov With Kamala Harris Endorsement Post
Reply in thread
I'd argue this isn't any celebrity though. Say what you will about Taylor and her music but she has successfully marketed herself as a wholesome role model for younger generations who has ran a nearly 20 year career scandal free. To them she represents more than celebrity fame. She's a movement and if she says vote they will vote.

Just saw Oklahoma has one of the lowest voter turn outs in the nation. With Tulsa and Oklahoma city it's more progressive than most people realize. We've just got to get out and vote and convince those around us to do the same. I know we have the numbers to win local elections.

‘Joker: Folie à Deux’ to Lose $150 Million to $200 Million in Theatrical Run After Bombing at Box Office
“Joker” was released at boon times for comic book tentpoles, when the mere idea of superhero fatigue seemed laughable. But the genre has been proven to be less resilient in the post-pandemic era. “Joker: Folie à Deux” joins the ignominious trio of 2023’s “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” and “The Marvels” — all three are follow-ups to billion-dollar tentpoles that completely collapsed at the box office and became big money-losers. The sequel to 2018’s “Aquaman” tapped out with $439 million globally while the sequel to 2019’s “Captain Marvel” ended its run with just $206 million globally. Those misfires proved audiences will no longer show up simply because there’s a DC or Marvel logo in the title credits.
Because these kinds of movies have become blatent cash grabs. The market is oversaturated with the same formulistic plots reskinned with a different superhero. It's insulting to consumers to assume high profile actors, flashy cgi, and a comic book character is enough to overlook poor storytelling.
