            Isn’t it fascinating.

            Like the other day I learned just how easy it would be to make an AI “character” and sell “nudes” to men on only fans.

            Like if all the people scalping the Switch 2 had any clue how much they could make doing that, I’d be able to buy a Switch 2. Then I could do it too to make money to buy the Switch 2 games.

            But unlike scalpers, my empathy prevents me from telling people there’s sex in the VIP room.

          Well it might make a few bucks there but it’s a pretty disgusting concept. I don’t really understand how there are so many people utterly devoid of empathy.

          I always assumed it was an innate human trait and that someone needed to have it abused out of their brain or have some kind of mental illness. Is it even possible that this many children being mistreated so badly or have undiagnosed mental illness? That is both a shocking idea and hard to believe.

          The alternative is that it’s a learned trait and the parents and educators of these people have failed them so spectacularly that they can’t even begin conceive of their inability to identify with another person. The cognitive dissonance required to see a person that doesn’t look exactly like them as not a person is astounding.

              Urgh yeah but the scale is crazy. I want to believe that maybe a lot of her supporters are just stuck in an information bubble. That all they see are sound bites that seem level headed and reasonable with no counterpoints.

              But how is it possible that they miss all of the batshit evil shit MTG and her pals spew. It’s not like she’s not in the news all the time literally spewing hatred and nonsense, how are they missing all of it?

      If you could sum it up in one word: isolationist.

      This means low/no immigration, limiting cultural access to ‘home grown’ culture and expelling anyone that doesn’t conform to whatever her idea of ‘American’ is. The only ‘good’ part of that stance is that this also means they don’t want to sign up to the traditional penchant for military adventurism you’ll typically see from the right.

      She’s an attention whore. Nothing more, nothing less. It’s why she married her pedophile husband: he gave her attention when she was underage.

        Kind of fitting that an abuse victim with Stockholm’s Syndrome is the de facto mascot of Republican women.

          See, by my nature I usually make a joke as a reply to everything.

          But that statement…man. It’s hard to justify making a joke about rale/abuse victims and pedophila.

          Can you just talk about J.D Vance instead? Remember the meme where he fucks couches??? Now THAT I can work with!

      not really, cnn is owned by MALONE who is a hardcore trumper. he has the stake in ccn, its not litche apparently who was fired very shortly after he got hired.

      He is the reason why ccn became fox-lite, soon other MSM-s followed the formula of becoming a fox lite to trick gen xers and some boomers who dont watch fox.

        Russia is not so much “pro Iran” as it is keeping an ambiguous relationship with Israel and Iran. Russia let Israel bomb Iranian militias in Syria. Israel sold drones to Russia after Russia invaded Crimea. Israel even demanded Ukraine to just give up against Russia behind closed doors. Netanyahu praised Russia and Putin in the past months and Israel refrained from demanding sanctions on Russia since the full scale invasion 2022.

        I believe that MTGs position is coming from a sincere “MAGA” position. Why should the US let Israel dictate what it is doing and what it is not doing? Why should the US on top of it pay billions to Israel for Israel to drag the US around?

          This is one thing that bothers me. I hear people talk about Trump’s policies being isolationist, but this flies in the face of that. If youre going to do a thing, do that thing all the way, none of this picking and choosing. If you want to cut the US off from the world, just fucking commit to it. It’s not my ideal course for the country, but I just want consistency.

            The trouble is, they don’t gaf about general policy, the only policy they care about is “what makes rich people richer” and that economic policy is ill-defined and has a lot of guesswork involved, so you can’t expect coherent or consistent policies aligned with traditional politics

      Populism works because it taps into actually existing grievances. Or creates them, but in this case it’s option A.

      Plus she’s an actual Nazi type.

    There’s a youtuber I like that uses the term “weaponized autism” but this is more of a “ballistic brain damage” scenario.

    What? No…say it isn’t so. Fox News is a propaganda mouthpiece? I am just shocked I tell you, absolutely gobsmack shocked.

    In other news…the sky is blue, for reasons that the Trump administration have deemed, illegal.

    She probably feels the more involved we are with Israel vs Iran, the less involved we will be with Trump vs Americans. The lady has priorities on who she wants to die first.
