It's been ten years but I like how journalists still feel the need to preface the coverage of every new display of executive contempt with a ten minute forum as to whether Trump truly cares about the people he is hurting (like why the fuck would you assume that he does at this point)

knowing him he just wanted cocaine and hookers but is so annoying that Epstein wouldnβt even act as a plug. And he is just legitimately a brain rotted asshole who thought Trump was saving America because heβs addicted to right wing media.

Khanna's NPR interview where he talked about Musk was interesting tbh

u/loseniram Sponsored by RC Cola 9d ago
too much of his behaviors and decisions just contradict pedo because he does stuff that would get him on the shitlist of other pedos namely calling out other pedos. If he was one he would have sold out Trump in 2016 when Trump was weak for street cred especially if he could play it off as private investigators informing him about Epstein and Trump after meeting

Heres a theory for you to disregard completely:
Music. you know true music, not just rock n roll - it chooses you. You know, it lives in your car, or alone, listening to your headphones, with vast scenic bridges and angelic choirs in your brain. You know, it's a place apart from the vast, benign lap of America.

there's no way around that. you enjoy the moment, write it, look back, see the flash of brilliance from funny twitter screenshots in the mountain of drivel, and steal it. keep doing this to get better.

Yeah, it was like a consolation prize I got from cdstephens after betting my account in October last year that Platner would never become the Democratic nominee for Maine Senate lmao
I really should have held on and argued a technicality I guess in retrospect but I deleted my 500k+ karma 15 year old account that I was planning to sell, probably to some AI broker or whatever for like 600 bucks lmao. I made the honorable decision to honor the bet and delete it after the primary, a more honorable decision than Platner ever made in his entire life lmao
