That dude tossing the smoke grenade. My sides :story:

What I love so much about that little snippet is how completely blindsided the crowd is by it. Such a casual toss. And they're so disorganized they're not even paying any attention to their surroundings to begin with, and you can tell only a couple of them are even bright enough to recognize what it is before it starts delivering its aromatic bouquet for their enjoyment. Not one of them has the brain power to GTFO or try to pick it up and toss it back or anything.

Weak little bitches. It's fucking hilarious.
 
A friend sent me a tweet by Conan O'Brien were he's condemning what happened to Kimmel. He was shocked because the Conan he remembered was from the early era of his late night show.

Sent him back the interview Conan did with Biden a year or so ago where he did his best to make him seem competent. Biden was called too senile to be tried for corruption shortly after the interview.

I'm wondering if I should send him the multiple interviews he did with the Obamas and the Clintons on his new show or if the point has already been made.
You should have also sent the tweet Conan made about how "beautiful" Haiti is.
 
Absolutely 0 shot at the presidency though, the fact she assumedly thinks she does is quite funny

Oh definitely, just the idea that she would even consider it is a reminder of her shocking stupidity. If the Dems had enough brain cells amongst themselves to think straight, they'd be putting in the work early, meaning now, to make sure no more females try to run for President next time. Only if they want to win, of course.
 
I really liked Massie, and he seemed like a decent and honest guy. He's been more and more unhinged since his wife died, i wish he had people in his life that cared about him enough to get him some help. he's turned into a such a scummy pile of shit.
I’ve noticed that men have a tendency to become overly emotional (i.e. pathetic in the etymologically literal sense) when a spouse or child dies. Maybe it’s because they become overly concerned about losing things.
 
There are a lot of Iranians who got the fuck out after the Iranian Revolution in 1979. Biglari's father was a brigadier general in the Imperial Iranian military and, after the elder Biglari was released from prison, his family fled to the US and settled in Texas in 1984. Unlike a lot of other Middle Eastern countries, Iran is predominantly Persian and speaks Farsi. They are not Arabs, they hate being compared to Arabs, and a lot of Western Persians resent being lumped in with religious extremists when a lot of them came to the US to get away from religious extremism.
I mean i know about 1979. The guy is legally American, i doubt he sounds middle eastern at this point, if he was even born there at all. Still odd. Next to the Ferrari investment, and the oil fields, is fucking Cracker Barrel. Why he chose to sink his money into a very mid tier dining establishment centered around old people is completely beyond me.
 
This fucking retard just buried herself. I don't know how she thinks this is a good move now.

Probably a good move, actually. Actually align with the progressive wing against the moderates instead of just staying shut up. She was already solidly on the progressive side.
Refusing to condemn the rhetoric pisses of the moderates, who want it condemned, and the progressives who want it affirmed. She actually chose a side within the party which is tactically better than both getting pissed at you. Pair that with the fact she's in a prog district (like mentioned before) and this harms her 0, and will only be minorly harmful in 10 or 15 years when she decides to go senate or something, at least that'll be the idea.
 
Posts like these give me a lot of hope for the future. I am glad to see a younger politician willing to call out leftist gaslighting for what it is. Absolutely no sane person is lapping up all the tears about Kimmel right now because we have fucking eyeballs and witnessed the last decade of them doing the exact same shit they're saying is bad now.

It really feels like the jig is up. Gaslighting never actually held up to any scrutiny but it still worked because people were scared of the unknown consequences for pushing back. Seems like the veil finally lifted and people are saying fuck it. Feels good man.
 
Lindelof is JJ Abram's bitch boy. If Lindelof is openly saying this, then JJ definitely is probably secretly leading the boycott and using Lindelof as a sacrificial lamb to test the water if anyone who defends Kimmel gets blackballed from Disney
Oh no, no more the force awakens and rise of the skywalker!
 
There's Paul Pelosi again.

Every time I see Paul Pelosi come up after years of nothing about him, all I see in my mind's eye is the committee sitting in a board room coming up with this talking point.
Every time someone brings up "muh Paul Pelosi", they neglect to bring up a major difference between him and Charlie Kirk. One of them is still alive.
 
For those unaware of just how fucking dumb AOC is, she once caused such a stink to fuck up a deal for Amazon to make a new headquarters in NYC, to the point even Cuomo called her out on the job loss. Dumbest of all, she even celebrated saving nearly 3 billion in taxpayer dollars when that 3 billion was actually tax breaks which means it didn’t exist yet because nothing was spent to break.

There's also a difference between laughing at it and celebrating it and calling for more violence, even if liberals are desperately trying to pretend they never did and only made some irreverent jokes about it. I don't remember conservatives immediately cheering that Paul Pelosi got beat up with a hammer and that maybe we should send schizos with hammers to every democrat lawmaker's house.

Another key difference is that no one on the right was celebrating or calling for violence against the Democrats. Like @TerminalTryHard said earlier in thread, no one was even making jokes about it until it was well known that he was safe and sound and the attacker was a gay prostitute.
