Repo Man (1984) is one of those films that barely gets talked about now, a punk sci-fi that runs on pure attitude where conspiracy, aliens and everyday absurdity all exist on the same level.

Jeff Daniels, "We've lost decency, we've lost civility, we've lost respect for the rule of law" "We have normalised verbal abuse on the internet" "We have normalised bullying" "And out the window goes character, integrity" "Ideally, we're supposed to elect the best of us" "Not the worst of us" "Trump is everything that is wrong with being a human being"

Just going to keep posting this to counter the ridiculous bullshit until someone makes me stop. The Special Counsel investigation uncovered extensive criminal activity •The investigation produced 37 indictments; seven guilty pleas or convictions; and compelling evidence that the president obstructed justice on multiple occasions. Mueller also uncovered and referred 14 criminal matters to other components of the Department of Justice. •Trump associates repeatedly lied to investigators about their contacts with Russians, and President Trump refused to answer questions about his efforts to impede federal proceedings and influence the testimony of witnesses. •A statement signed by over 1,000 former federal prosecutors concluded that if any other American engaged in the same efforts to impede federal proceedings the way Trump did, they would likely be indicted for multiple charges of obstruction of justice.   Russia engaged in extensive attacks on the U.S. election system in 2016 •Russian interference in the 2016 election was “sweeping and systemic.”[1] •Major attack avenues included a social media “information warfare” campaign that “favored” candidate Trump[2] and the hacking of Clinton campaign-related databases and release of stolen materials through Russian-created entities and Wikileaks.[3] •Russia also targeted databases in many states related to administering elections gaining access to information for millions of registered voters.[4]   The investigation “identified numerous links between the Russian government and the Trump Campaign” and established that the Trump Campaign “showed interest in WikiLeaks's releases of documents and welcomed their potential to damage candidate Clinton”  •In 2015 and 2016, Michael Cohen pursued a hotel/residence project in Moscow on behalf of Trump while he was campaigning for President.[5]Then-candidate Trump personally signed a letter of intent. •Senior members of the Trump campaign, including Paul Manafort, Donald Trump, Jr., and Jared Kushner took a June 9, 2016, meeting with Russian nationals at Trump Tower, New York, after outreach from an intermediary informed Trump, Jr., that the Russians had derogatory information on Clinton that was “part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump.”[6] •Beginning in June 2016, a Trump associate “forecast to senior [Trump] Campaign officials that WikiLeaks would release information damaging to candidate Clinton.”[7] A section of the Report that remains heavily redacted suggests that Roger Stone was this associate and that he had significant contacts with the campaign about Wikileaks.[8] •The Report described multiple occasions where Trump associates lied to investigators about Trump associate contacts with Russia. Trump associates George Papadopoulos, Rick Gates, Michael Flynn, and Michael Cohen all admitted that they made false statements to federal investigators or to Congress about their contacts. In addition, Roger Stone faces trial this fall for obstruction of justice, five counts of making false statements, and one count of witness tampering. •The Report contains no evidence that any Trump campaign official reported their contacts with Russia or WikiLeaks to U.S. law enforcement authorities during the campaign or presidential transition, despite public reports on Russian hacking starting in June 2016 and candidate Trump’s August 2016 intelligence briefing warning him that Russia was seeking to interfere in the election. •The Report raised questions about why Trump associates and then-candidate Trump repeatedly asserted Trump had no connections to Russia.[9]

As I have been saying for the past decade, if you voted or/support this clown and his MAGA cult, then you are a complete and total idiot. Full stop.

@baseballcrank I don’t get it. We all know Trump is a simp for Russia. He always has been. Mueller was on the right track.

RIP Robert Mueller, a distinguished longtime public servant who unfortunately will be best remembered for his final act. The special counsel Russia investigation was ill-considered from the start, and he let his staff & objectives get away from him.

@CigsMake I graduated high school in 1988. The idea of staying in my town, even though it was a great one, was laughable to be. People need to leave the nest and explore what the world has to offer.

A 30-year-old in 1980 owned a house like this working at the local factory. Married six years with three kids. Weekends meant Little League games. Both sets of grandparents lived within five miles. The kids would attend the same high school he did and grow up with the children of his own friends. This is a dying concept

Never forget that the losers who voted for this were dumb enough to believe the fake DOGE agency was gonna send us $5k checks “from all of the fraud they found” Holy fuck man, does it ever get exhausting for you conservative retards to be so fucking stupid?

You used to have your bet ideas in the shower, now you have a waterproof speaker. You used to get lost in thought waiting for the train, now you have a phone to fill the gap. You used to daydream on long flights, now there's a screen in your hand and on the seat in front of you. You used to think on your morning commute, now you have a podcast playing before you leave the house. We used to stare in to the sky or into a fire and let our minds drift, now we have TVs and phone to replace that. We filled every silence and lost all of our peace, creativity and ideas that lived within that silence.

“I'm really scratching my head because I voted Republican, and most of us in the fishing industry did, and we're not seeing the the positives come out of it, why we voted that way.”

I tried to tell you this was all a horrible idea.

@YuvalKordov @silverlock YES! Reading Auto Duel Quarterly was almost as fun as playing the game.

@silverlock I loved the Uncle Albert rags.

Some of the games we played between our RPGs in my senior year of HS. These are not the originals.

You betrayed yourselves. Its you. Trump has always been who he is. He has never changed. You need to get this through your head. You are the problem. His base is the problem. You have betrayed yourselves. Your dignity. Your self respect. Your values. You betrayed everything you guys say you stand for. You allowed yourselves to be deceived because he gave you the permission to be your worst selves and you liked it. Fuck you.

Broadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions - also known as the fake news - have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up. The law is clear. Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not. And frankly, changing course is in their own business interests since trust in legacy media has now fallen to an all time low of just 9% and are ratings disasters. The American people have subsidized broadcasters to the tune of billions of dollars by providing free access to the nation’s airwaves. It is very important to bring trust back into media, which has earned itself the label of fake news. When a political candidate is able to win a landslide election victory after in the face of hoaxes and distortions, there is something very wrong. It means the public has lost faith and confidence in the media. And we can’t allow that to happen. Time for change!

Madness

It is a little astonishing to me how much we've pretty much just accepted that Trump, his family, and his friends are making hundreds of millions of dollars in obvious, completely unhidden graft, and there's not really anything anyone can do about it.

@SurfThrash I was there. Had just taken the band’s photo for Alternative Press earlier in the day.

Things will not improve in this country until democrats realize Americans are stupid and must be tricked into having their basic needs met. Do you explain medicine to your dog or do you cover it’s pills in peanut butter?
