Anyone can love a thing because. That's as easy as putting a penny in your pocket. But to love something despite. To know the flaws and love them too. That is rare and pure and perfect.
In Texas they can teach kids that a whale swallowed a man and spit him out three days later because God wanted to teach him a lesson but they can't teach kids that slavery was bad.
>Give $14M no-bid contract to your friend to paint the pool blue
>Pool turns green anyway because algae grows in warm stagnant water
>Pour hydrogen peroxide into the pool to kill the algae
>The hydrogen peroxide peels off the blue paint
Another tell, he unbuttons his coat with his left hand, but he’s right handed
He obviously can’t use his dominate hand for the simple task of unbuttoning his coat and didn’t want to be embarrassed trying
Something has happened to his right side for sure!
There would have been blotting-out-the-sun outrage if a Dem president ranted for weeks about how shitty the reflecting pool looked, handed a $13 million no bid contract to a business partner, only to see workers dumping toxic chemicals into it days after the job was finished.
The President’s son was looking to bet on fixed fights and then made a ridiculous claim to try and cover it up and everyone just shrugged. We are morally broken.
It’s extremely weird and embarrassing that so many fringe right-wingers are still obsessed with calling Michelle Obama a man over a decade after her husband left office. “Everyone is 12” theory continues to be vindicated
They really let a UFC fighter call our only Black First Lady a man on the White House lawn at an official White House event … while thousands cheered and the biggest podcaster in the world smiled.
There is no economic policy fix for this. Many of these people are just racist.
See the propaganda move?
Make the image emotionally overwhelming, then pretend the only possible objection is hatred of America.
Nobody has to pretend to be mad at a flyover.
It looks cool.
That is not the critique.
The critique is that cool imagery is being used to launder the structure underneath it.
The White House becomes the set.
The military supplies the emotional force.
UFC supplies the combat aesthetic.
Paramount+ gets the paid stream.
Trump-world and politically connected corporations get the branding halo.
And then accounts like this say: if you notice the machinery, you must hate America.
No.
I like the flyover.
I dislike fake patriotism that turns the country into ad inventory.
This is Don Draper selling belonging after tribal sorting so the powerful concentrate more power.
Working-class people are not props.
Marines are not props.
National monuments are not props.
The issue is billionaires turning the White House into branded regime content, then hiding behind “the working class” when anyone notices the circus.
The fighter yelling “Michelle Obama is a man,” at an official White House event to honor America is utterly unacceptable and the administration should denounced it in no uncertain terms.
the masculine urge to use polymorphism to solve all problems is real
I am realizing my last 20 years were a lie and the strategy pattern isn't the best thing ever...
Maybe a function with 200 lines and a switch statement is just easier by all means
i will never forgive the American people for voting this guy back into office because of burger and gas prices just to watch him put worms in the burgers and shut off 20% of the world's oil supply
NEW LAWSUIT: Kash Patel said his Olympic adventure was a work trip.
We filed a FOIA request to see the proof.
But the FBI told us it'd get back to us in... 2,010 days!
Public Citizen isn't waiting that long. We've sued.
