I form my beliefs using the 'anti-filthy view' filter. It's served me well.

This is like investing via Reverse Cramer.

HEY THERE

I've missed you guys! Plus I got IP banned from Reddit for arguing about Professional Wrestling.

Plus I got IP banned from Reddit for arguing about Professional Wrestling.

LMAO. What was the argument?

LMAO. What was the argument?

It's hard to explain. There is a wrestling company called AEW that is owned by Tony Khan, cokehead son of Shahid Khan, billionaire owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars. It's been around for about 5 years and has steadily declined in popularity. Mostly it's a way for Daddy to keep his idiot son away from the real businesses.

This company has made every possible mistake and some that shouldn't have been possible. They had Cody Rhodes and let him go to WWE where he is currently the champion and the biggest babyface in the business. They had CM Punk and fired him because he kept getting into legit fights backstage over how chaotic management is.

So this company is floated in business by daddy's billions and online by an army of basement-dwelling neckbeards who defend everything the company does and promote it all like it's the evolution of wrestling. Several Reddit subforums are dedicated to promoting this image and defending everything the company does. So I got dinged here and there for violating various forum rules.

But I didn't get IP banned until I openly mocked their history of promoting terrible merchandise, including this image of Britt Baker with a black e... on a t-shirt that was seen as promoting domestic violence. Reddit has become completely enshittified anyway and I am pleased to be rid of it.

Unlike your lazy ass

Unlike your lazy ass

I'm fighting the break neck work pace of capitalism.

laying in bed all day every day is my fight


Jon Stewart on the Biden/Harris switcharoo. Pretty funny.


I don't know the real project 2025 but I liked the meme version.


A pretty concise description.


I love seeing the hateful, sexist attacks in her direction circling. Nothing substantive or policy-based. They're scared and grasping.


And funny!


Calling people ******s and hating women isn't funny. I really thought you were better than that Mark.


Given Trump, conservatives really have no business insulting the intelligence of other candidates.

yeah I can't think of any of her policies that could be attacked :p


by filthyvermin P

yeah I can't think of any of her policies that could be attacked :p

That's not what I'm saying tho. There's a TON of substantive material to attack, yet Democrats still do a better job of criticizing her than the MAGA crowd. All they have for her so far is racism and sexism.

Yeah that part isn't good. But the last 2/3 parroting the Kamala memes I liked.


I suppose the wine mom part with the out of context clip was funny.

What did you think of Trump's appearance at the Black Journalists Conference? Wondering if you caught it, there was a ton of humor to be had there as well


george w bush was def the funniest president. i'd be literally rolling on the floor laughing.

every now and then I will watch a youtube compilation of his fails, and still laugh hard every time.

I actually thought about voting for him for his second term, just cuz he made me laugh so much. cuz any president was gonna be nightmare awful, at least he made me laugh.

but I didn't vote for him. I campaigned for Nader. again.


Bush seems somewhat likeable in retrospect. I don't think he was actually as bad a person as I thought at the time. Cheney and others tho, awful humans. Trump would be absolutely hilarious if he weren't such an awful narcissist, rapist, adulterer.


bush is a great guy for a war criminal thief, collaborating in a massive hoax(WMDs[and probably 9/11]) to start a decades long war in multiple countries

who also literally stole an election

and climate change, healthcare, education, torture, etc


I lived in the county that ultimately decided that election at the time. Was really my first introduction to politics. I would stay up all night watching the recount and the news. And then when the Iraq invasion came I stayed up all night watching reporting on that. My mom took the TV out of my room because she said it was making me sad. Haven't had a tv in my room ever since that. I guess I can thank him and the GOP for being awful enough to get me motivated to care about politics at least


a county decided it? I thought the lol supreme court decided it
