Some people watch just for the commercials. And every year, they say “meh, they used to be better.”

You can just wait a day and watch a top ten Superbowl commercials 2026 YouTube video while eating wings.

No, there are probably about 5-10M fans out there. I have a coworker who loves him.

Nobody with an IQ above 90 likes Kid Rock. Nobody with any actual musical taste likes Kid Rock. Nobody worth having a conversation with likes Kid Rock.

My wife is taking a college course on different healthcare systems around the world and literally every single one is a vast improvement over what we have in the US. Obviously Canada and UK are better, but Japan? New Zealand? Singapore? Yep, yep, and holy shit yep. There’s truly just not a developed country with a worse system. We pay way more for (usually) way worse care. And I think most of us are too brainwashed to ever believe that we deserve anything significantly better. A combination of “what’s the catch” and inexplicable shame (or I guess pride) for accepting help that’s for people who need it more.

Yeah, MLK Jr was pretty clear about his position when he said that communism and Christianity are fundamentally incompatible. He was a socialist, which is a different thing. But let’s pretend that he said socialist instead of communist… Wouldn’t that make you kinda curious to know the details of what socialism is then? Because everybody says that King was a great man and helped achieve racial equality, so his ideology must not be as evil as everybody says, right?

So if you’re young and maybe not super aware of politics and civics and everything, and you see this tweet in response to a general “Happy MLK Jr Day” tweet from Elmo, you’re gonna have questions and your Google results are gonna lead you to answers that reveal what a fucking clown show the John Birch society is.

It’s petty, it’s factually inaccurate, and if chases young people to your opposition’s ideology. Plus picking on a literal Muppet is the kind of thing a lazy writer would write to show how villainous a character is. What a disaster of a tweet, and I’m thrilled to see it.

“Do you have proof of birth?”

“Well I’m here, ain’t I?”

That’s a mighty big canvas upon which Aldo Raine could produce his masterpiece. Motherfucker had Goebbels and Dr. Evil as his role models. What an irredeemable sack of shit.

And also show them a picture of JD Vance and explain that he’s Peter Thiel’s lapdog. And explain who Peter Thiel is. And explain why he’s bad and therefore why Vance is bad.

On second thought, reaching the willfully ignorant is gonna be a fucking task and a half, especially with fox news blasting in public spaces like waiting rooms while critical thinking is gutted in public schools.

It’s hard to feel bad for America right now. We had it coming. We told ourselves for 80 years that it can’t happen here, so our guard wasn’t up to contend with the reality that it could happen here, guaranteeing our eventual current state of fucking happening here.

I don’t know how this ends in anything other than violent collapse, and I’m not sure how to get my family out in time or where to go. I won’t be considered a valid refugee until after these Nazis have us too trapped to get out at all. People are too exhausted and stupid to organize into effective resistance. I doubt it would take that many bodies to surround the white house with rifles and achieve regime change, but nobody’s coming to save us, and that includes our bickering, divided left and also the feckless liberals trying to soften everything to just some light fascism that’s still 100 calories of fascism, but that’s better than 140 calories of fascism so we’re supposed to just be over the fucking moon with all their hard work.

I’m so tired of warranted anxiety. Say what you want about Biden, (believe me, I have my complaints,) but he at least kept the car on the road. He got us off the rumble strips. Now we’ve already careened off the cliff, but nobody will acknowledge it until we hit the bottom in a fiery explosion. It would take a fucking miracle to sprout wings and save us at this point.

“I have this awesome ghost gun that’s basically impossible to trace back to me, so of course I think I’ll hold onto this instead of ditching it, but I’ll take the time to ditch this here backpack in central park.”

You’d have a hard time convincing me that the cops didn’t find the gun in that bag and wait to plant it on the first believable suspect to pop up. They had zero leads before that phone call came in, and they’re stiffing the rat that called out of that reward money they promised. They just needed to be able to say that nobody gets away with eating the rich.

Of course they’re not gonna be named. That might lead to something resembling justice.

I don’t know how many actually fired rounds, but there were absolutely more than two involved in the overall attack, and none of them seemed to be intervening in the murder, so yeah more people need to be investigated, and all of them need to be criminally charged.

Fair point. Maybe only through international means then? Abolish the death penalty except through the ICC? Maximum once per decade, but not always used. Like a Nobel prize for war crimes.

I’m not on board with the way that it’s currently applied, to be clear. I was just saying that that could be a reasonable thought for an argument for it, and that I thought that it could be valid if rarely and very publicly used for the most extreme couple of cases in a century.

I’m not here to defend the death penalty. But I’m also not gonna try too hard to protect a Hitler from that in order to get him a life sentence which could just be pardoned/commuted by his biggest fans. You’re right that we should be very careful about giving a government the right to murder a person, and that several death sentences have been carried out against people found to have been innocent, but that’s also why I bring up only using it for plainly, obviously guilty monsters like Mussolini or Hitler, and making sure that it’s inhumanely awful for them, and making it as widely visible as possible so that nobody can be unaware of what a miserable consequence you’ll suffer for doing that terrible shit.

But I also understand the hypocrisy of “it’s wrong to kill people, so we’ve decided to kill you, and that’s totally different because we decided that we have the power to legitimately decide that.” I don’t know the right answer, but it’s clear to me that there are too many monsters among us, so I’m spitballing whether there’s something that could’ve been done differently to have prevented this.

Not OP but thought I’d chime in. I became convinced in the past few years to never be on board with the death penalty, but the past year has me on the fence about very rarely applying it. I think that a public execution could serve as a deterrent, reserved only for those who are very plainly guilty of the very worst atrocities. I mean worse than mass shooters. I’m talking decades of willful societal damage. Mussolini level of horrible. If we could’ve gotten to Hitler before he could kill himself, imagine the public, tortured, slow execution, and really ask yourself how many people would dare to wave a Nazi flag or sieg heil after that.

Maybe a few of these in the entire world over a century would be enough to prevent every genocide. I’m open to trying. Life in prison allows people to forget, but recorded gruesome executions are seared into memories.

I bet they can. Just get me a hatchet.

Idk, if he were just a little more of a genocidal Nazi, then maybe he’d kill himself in a bunker like his hero did. That’s a policy decision I’d be on board with. C’mon, trump! Get those approval numbers up!

As terrible as Hitler was, he at least had a dog. This fascist couldn’t even be bothered to get a pet he pretended to like for PR purposes. Even a piece of shit like noem had a dog.

That was tried too, but he turned his head, got a bloody photo op, and used a dead firefighter’s uniform as a prop. I don’t think there will be another opening. But it’ll probably happen naturally during one of his televised cabinet meeting naps.

The Xbox version is worthless because of a glitch in the main quest that breaks the game halfway through. PlayStation runs fine, but with some lost frames near cannons for some reason. PC is the priceless version because you can unlock a porn mini game that wasn’t discovered at the time of rating it M; it was recalled since that content should’ve made it rated AO, so the launch M rated PC version is really hard to find. Check the SKU if you spot a PC copy. Not everybody knows, so you might be able to snag it for a few bucks from some unwitting mom on fb marketplace who’s just clearing out her dead son’s room.

What?! But we were told that he couldn’t be bought because he already has sooo much money!

Somebody told me that and I countered with “no, the fact that he has billions of dollars and only ever talks about things in terms of money and has no real friends means that the only thing he values is money. Above friendship, above family, above morality, above any flavor of faith. All he has in the world is money, and he thinks himself successful, so he’d sell everything in the world for just a little more.”

I’m reminded of how justice is served on the ice in a hockey game. If a player executes an illegal, dangerous hit on another player, especially if the victim is the goalie or a star player, and the refs don’t call shit, then that guy is about to get his ass beat.

There will be consequences, even if the DoJ refuses to act. The heat is rising on this cold civil war. When trump crowns himself head of the fed and slashes interest rates, and when the dollar crashes soon thereafter, shit’s gonna get crazy.

I’m also predicting that somebody high up in this administration refers to America as an “empire” and then a “realm” and possibly just straight up a “reich” within this year.

Agreed, but they’ll try to argue that violent protesters could kill thousands of innocent people, so killing them is the morally right thing to do. Here, they’re arguing that Renee Good was a domestic terrorist that was using her vehicle as a weapon to try to kill the ICE guy, even though it’s blatantly obvious that that’s not what was happening in the slightest.

I’m just saying that they’re escalating. They’re hoping that people either stay home because they’re afraid of being executed just for being outside, or retaliate and permit them to escalate further. And even an extreme retaliation will not eradicate the fascism, so I’m not sure what the right move is now that we’re at this point.

Renee Good didn’t open fire on police and still didn’t make it to a jury trial. When unarmed, peaceful people are executed as though they’re violent protesters, there’s no longer any real reason to be unarmed, peaceful people.

This federal government wants people to open fire on police. This would justify a further police state, martial law, and cancelling the midterm elections that they’re definitely on pace to lose disastrously. Natural causes is taking its sweet time, but even if it weren’t I don’t think the next guy would change a thing unless his owners told him to.
