If Fatpacks came out and said that his antics are all high level trolling and he never believed anything he said in the first place, would you believe him?
Yes, because he clearly doesn't actually believe it. He doesn't defend his bad takes with anywhere close to the level of zeal of a true believer. So. bad troll, fed, or schizo.
 
You guys are so buckbroken by bad presidents that you feel the need to immediately state that Biden was worse. Of course Biden was fucking worse, but that shouldn’t make Trump immune from criticism.
As I said, with Democrats and liberals they tend to circle the wagon hard. Conservatives tend to distrust government in general more and I get being upset at this, but no need to go bonkers and doom either.

That's one thing that the internet sure has made worse in general, the need to know everything instantly. Almost every major crime that we don't have the entire story within the hour it's calls of coverups. But sometimes they do that with tranny shooters too. It's hard but people need to be pragmatic if they can.

I also get it's worse to get promised something and rug pulled, even short term, then not getting a promise at all. People were indeed used to just getting nothing from Biden for 4 years so it's taking time to adjust.
 
If it's not a big deal then why was releasing the files a pillar of his campaign for the past four years?
I don’t remember seeing a single ad or fundraising text about it. But generally it’s a nice easy promise to fulfill. The files are being released. They just don’t have the bombshells people wanted.

tbh this sorta reminds me of the people shockedpoogeyman when Trump didn't genocide all the non-whites

The comic is much better then the movie in my opinion the movie wasn't bad in any means but it's hard to tell a story like that in like an hour and a half.
We really had to take a gamble on Snyder more than fitting it into a digestible runtime. We won this time but afterwards man, take the W while we can.
it definitely had flaws, but yeah for the insane prospects of
a) make a movie of Watchmen
b) do it ahead of capeshit bloat
it managed to do pretty well
muh pirates
One other question, What stops them from popping someone else in the chamber he was in and making another one?
I think part of it was Doc's watchmaking autism was how he was able to reassemble himself atom-by-atom?

Comic tells a better story for sure but I think framing Manhattan as the culprit instead of the giant alien squid just meshes better. Probably the only thing the movie did better in my opinion.
 
Any time you're tempted to think things are bad, here's a reminder that it could be worse. You could be Chicago.

Chicago City Council Votes 26-23 to Borrow $830M to Repair Streets, Sidewalks, Bridges

Seems innocuous, right? Except that the actual payback amount will 2 billion. Probably north of that, because it depends on Chicago being timely on its payments. This is after they spent 400 mill on migrants, and Mayor Johnson (how is this man making Lori Lightfoot look competent?) tried to raise property taxes by 300 million. At least the city council had the sense enough to axe that plan.

The measure passed by the narrowest possible margin with the support of the entire Progressive Caucus and all but four members of the Black Caucus.
They couldn't even get the whole Black Caucus on board for this, it's that horrible of a plan. Prediction--not a single street, sidewalk, or bridge will be repaired, Johnson will leave office a multimillionaire even though he's just a teacher irl, the progressive caucus will enrich themselves, and somehow it will be racism's fault.

No, it had no business being distilled down like that and they never should have tried. It would have worked much better as a 'limited series' or something.

Watch based super autism.

Yep.

If you don't want to sit down and read a paper or digital copy of the entire series, another avenue is the motion comics. Basically an enhanced audio comic book with some limited animation, but its pretty good. Having read the full comic, I think its a pretty decent encapsulation and better adaptation than the movie. Its abridged, but its still about six hours long. You can find the whole thing on youtube easily.
 
On the 25th Bill Gates private jet N887WM flew from Seattle, Washington to New Mexico.

Then on the 26th it flew to Washington DC.

No flights are recorded happening on the 27th.

Hey, wasn't Gene Hackman found dead in New Mexico? Probably just an odd coincidence. His 35 year old wife died too. And his dog.

My #1 concern was Kennedy's confirmation, but man does this Epstein shit piss me off.
At this point, if it doesn't get released I'm gonna start agreeing with the Left that Trump was on the logs.
Not because I actually think he was, but because he deserves to be remembered as a pedo if he can't get the logs released.
If they don't get released I'm going to refer to you as a retard daily so it reinforces jnto your retard skull what you are. If it doesn't get released it's most likely due to Israeli involvement in what he was doing and you can't show that. I'm sure this is late advice for you now but stop acting like a faggot for once in your retarded life
 
We’ve had a a month and a half of winning and the moment they fuck up something for PR points (and are actively working to fix it, getting Kash to fork over the docs) the doomers finally have something that reinforces their buck breaking and you all go along with it
Shit’s bad, but is fixable and is being fixed and has no relation to your standard of living or tax dollars
Quit being schizo over it as if the admvnistrvtion hvs fvllen
 
Oh I see, we are still in plan-trusting mode. Criticizing a blunder like fumbling the Epstein files or sharing AI-slop on twitter is considered being a "doomer."

There is a gulf of distance between Fatpacks bait and being unhappy with some of what Trump's admin has been doing.
So is it a win that we don’t have gay sex happening in the senate chamber, or is it naive to think so?
