Not gonna lie - I wrote Dr Phil off for a long time. All I ever really knew about him was that time he invited the bumfights guy on thinking he'd outsmart him or something and the bumfights guy showed up dressed identically to Dr Phil, bald wig and all and dr phil had a conniption fit and threw him off the show immediately. Dr Phil was always a clown to me. I was kinda shocked when he threw his hat in the ring with Donald and went Maga. I didn't see that coming
I was much the same, he seemed like a guy profitting off misery in the same way the bumfights guy was. I started to feel differently when I heard Ron White on Rogan and he was talking about dr phil being just a really good guy. Talked about his opera singer (I think, or just musician) wife, and how ron and phil hung out a lot. Clip is probably out there somewhere.
 
It was a very odd time to be a former Democrat. Going into the 2016 primary cycle, I already had decided I would not be voting for Hillary, as she represented everything I spent my life fighting against as a Democrat. I was slightly considering Sanders, but seeing him basically shit his pants and do nothing in the face of BLM activists basically convinced me he had no real staying power and when he cucked out for Hillary, the choice was between the crazy orange diamond and the woman who I would rather chew my own arm off than support.
I always hated Bernie Sanders because he was an irrelevant senator until glomping onto Occupy Wall Street.
 
Be honest, do y'all (or have you) considered me a "fed?"
If you are a fed, then you're the best glowie to have graced this community, you old-white-woman-loving niggerfaggot.

US politics thread has the best niggerfaggots, the yugest. We love our resident niggerfaggot, don't we, folks?
 
I can forgive them without agreeing with whatever cuckservative shit they want to push. If they want to have a good faith discussion of ideas I'm all for it. If they want to co-op this "movement", then I will continue to mock them in shitposts on the internet.
If someone is being genuine, sure, forgive them. Mark Zuckerberg is not being genuine. Lol.

I hate to admit this, but for a brief time I supported Bernie. I did not have any bumper stickers, or merch, and did not call myself a Bernie bro. I was just naive about socialism and not paying that close attention to politics.
I remember distinctly when I changed my mind. He said he wanted to make America like Scandinavia and how great they are.
I have cousins in Scandinavia and had heard the good, the bad, and the ugly. Not the glossy sugarcoated version most people hear about.
A split second later I decided he was a retard and didn't know what he was talking about at all if he could say something like that with so much confidence. The spell was broken, and I began to scrutinize much closer, and pay more attention to the political scene in general, after which I shifted hard to Trump.
I even bought one of the white/gold MAGA hats, though I've never worn it. I just bought it because I thought it was funny.
 
It’s not about would/wouldn’t. There’s a shit ton of “woulds” in media. It’s just that if you zoomed in on my entire “would” zone so it filled my frame, then she’d be near the bottom of “woulds”

At that point, it’s like “ah at least I don’t have to wound my eyes” but it’s nothing to write home about
I'd say she could be a model. I just hate the pointlessly "high standards" on the internet. If you were to look at these men/women that claim like 4/10 on Natalie Portman or Henry Cavill has a dadbod either don't have women/man, or are with worse looking women/men.
 
The fact that I was not undone that day revealed my power level. Thankfully, my boss is more racist than I am, so I have job stability.

But why male models?
Sorry I should’ve clarified but I think adhd is something that should be an instant disqualification for air traffic controllers.

Probably, but if he's going to fucking behave for the next four years that is better than him not behaving at all.

A lot of people are lulled into socialism at a young age because it plays into people's worst behaviours. Thankfully, I was born with an inherent and vicious hatred for all things communism. It's like the gene for smelling asparagus piss. It's kind of a problem.

I agree with you that that shit gets irritating. I feel like most of the time it’s just negging.

I don’t think Natalie Portman is a 4 and I’m sure Henry Cavill is almost as ripped as RFK, but I’m not going to check.

I just really think Karoline Leavitt is like 6/10
 
I might be early on calling this, but if the DNC thought the 2024 election was bad for them, I think 2026 will be even worse.
If these early days continue, and I have no reason to think they won't, the dems are headed to the wilderness. Something to remember, and keep in mind. The 2026 midterms will come on the heels of our YEAR LONG celebration of our 250 anniversary. I might be some silly flag waving faggot, but that is one of most exciting parts of Trump's term. I want to love my country again, I want to be proud of it again.
 
Trump's winning so much, this thread often goes off-topic to shoot the shit about other topics.
You don't get it. I'm a win addict. I need my win fix. Has Orange Man signed any based EOs yet, have any more immigrants been deported? He turned me into an addict and now he needs to deliver.
 
Nah, most of these people are overconfident narcissists, they play it smart economically, but planning for that kind of future isn't in their playbook. Their superbunkers will fail as everything else does. We haven't had enough really put into researching a self sustaining facility that can actually operate for years, most of what's sold is snake oil. Whatever billionaires might be paying for that'd be under wraps wouldn't be enough. If arctic bases require supplies to be shipped in, if the ISS is the only real out there place we've got and it also needs rockets shipping it stuff every couple of months, the elites are screwed. If the US hadn't given up on the space race because they already beat a goal they themselves set, we might have had the tech to reliably grow food in an enclosed environment, recycle every single resource, but in reality the billions stopped coming and there hasn't been real advancement on this shit for decades, not in a way that'd let you survive SHTF for more than a few months if you've also got a bunch of people who would be willing to screw you over, at least not in most billionaires cases. You might have a handful that'd get lucky, have actually stayed hidden and stockpiled enough non perishables to live the quality of life of someone from the lower classes before the world ended. But they'd be wanting to off themselves with how their luxuries have disappeared
Hopeful thinking, I guess we will never know since nobody will ever see these bunkers or get access to these private islands. By that point, we will have our hands full trying to survive the old fashioned way. I do still think you're underestimating these people, they won't "off themselves" because they can't eat caviar anymore, there is a reason they made all that money. Be it cunning or ruthlessness, these people are cutthroat psychopaths and it will take a whole lot more than cushy living conditions in a secluded place with food and water for them to crack. Your typical cushy politician, maybe, but I doubt they thought that far ahead in the future anyways and they would likely be hanging from a lamppost in this scenario.

It is depressing that we're far behind on where we need to be with this kind of technology. We chose to focus on the wrong things, and now we're never going to go to space or have flying cars, not within our lifetime anyways but probably never.
