Left-Wing Mentally-Ill Revolutionary LARPers Don't Know That Law Enforcement Officers Load Their Guns With Real Bullets

They think this is all a Marvel movie.


People are making their own South Park clips, given that the actual South Park guys have jumped the shark and are now tedious anti-Trump establishment c*nts.


More: Are we going to see enemy-to-lover erotic romance fiction about the Good shooting?

I like all of the masks in the second batch.

NBC NEWS, translated: "Democrats warned to stop saying stuff they believe out loud before the midterms."

YouGov just released a poll that says that 45% of the American public supports abolishing ICE and 43% opposes it.

This poll will be used as justification to ignore this advice.

Also, the poll is complete garbage and is a Harris +10 poll.

58 I saw in my hate feed, I think it was the Bulwark losers, and some other lefties, that are trying out this neat little lie:

She was receiving conflicting instructions, with an officer telling her to get out of the car and others telling her to drive.

See that?
She didn't know who to listen to (the officer with a gun or her wife with a cell phone? lol) everyone was yelling at her, it's not her fault, she's a woman, she emotional, and easily confused.

But, this lie serves another purpose:
They are trying to shoehorn her case in to other caselaw, that a person receiving conflicting instruction--from multiple officers, mind you--negates the reasonableness of lethal force.

"You're being detained for assault on a federal officer. You've been a naughty girl."

There was a video I saw last night of an extremely obese woman harassing ICE. It was scary since you fear she could easily fall and never be able to get up again.

I wondered about the people around her egging her on -- do they not even consider the risk she is putting on herself? Or maybe that is considered an asset if she stroked out and became a martyr.

186 A-Team: Lots of action and explosions, but hardly any injuries

I used to love that show, including how over the top it was on that very level. At one point the team is evading a helicopter; they manage to get the helicopter to crash into the side of a mountain. The helicopter spirals down to the ground and crashes. And the camera makes sure to show the people inside getting out.

In my memory it also explodes on the way down, but that’s probably not true. It should have been, though.

There are always ignorant idiots around, and some are men, and some are women. Would you like to be lumped in with the men who rape women, or beat them? Of course not, because you don't rape women or beat them. So why are you lumping all women in with these ignorant lesbian idiots?

I think you mean SOME women, but the truth is that women are hard-wired to protect their families, and of course we know what consequences are.

There are always ignorant idiots around, and some are men, and some are women. Would you like to be lumped in with the men who rape women, or beat them? Of course not, because you don't rape women or beat them. So why are you lumping all women in with these ignorant lesbian idiots?

284 Read my shocking and transgressive romance today!

In "Morning Glory Silking Farm" a spherical Guatemalan milkmaid finds love in the shadows of Trump's America when she is forced to extract silk from enormous arachnid breeding studs for slave wages.

Read as her fear turns to lust, when she grasps the turgid spinneret of Shelob, a stern but sensual spider chimera with the head of a man, and the insatiable ardor of an eight-legged love machine.

285 I really like that "Detained by Desire" cover, even more than "Dickmatized at the Protest" (which is also great). The light blush, the curious head-tilt, the expression of opennness with concern -- like she knows her own impulses are ill-advised, but she's helpless to do anything about it -- there must be a lot of that specific expression in the training data for (presumably) Gen AI to nail it.

287 Kathleen Hartnett, the attorney of Hecox, was sent scrambling by Alito after he posed an incredible hypothetical question to challenge her argument for ‘trans females’ playing in women’s sports.

He inquired whether a boy who had never had surgeries or puberty blockers but still identified as a girl could be denied the ability to participate. After all, woke liberal logic is that you must oblige a person’s feelings on identity and seek to accommodate their wishes.

Hartnett fell into Alito’s trap and answered ‘yes.’ The justice then piggybacked off his first question by perfectly exposing the lie of gender identity.

Posted by: Thomas Bender


The first better-than-average version of X will become popular.

Beatles were the first "pop/rock-n-roll band" to make it big.

Star Wars was the first "space opera film" to make it big. (Star Trek I was two years later, tho it had been on the small screen earlier.)

Same as Iron Maiden to metal, Nirvana to grunge, etc.

Being both "first" and "good" doesn't automatically make you the "best," which is where a lot of the "I don't get its" come from, I think.

If another band with the same physical appearance and performance/compositional skill level as the Beatles arrived in 1976, or 1994, or 2015, would they have automatically been a "world wide phenomenon," or just another pop band?

312 And to further clarify --

Don't take things so personal -- when I say "men" or "women" I obviously do not mean all men or women, or even most.

What I mean, (and what I hope most people can understand) is that there is a marginal propensity among men or women in that direction. It is a generalization to simplify the argument. I am looking at the mean and noting that the mean for one group is a little more in one direction than for the other group.

This is how we talk when we understand that humans are all unique and our traits are on a normal distribution curve and you can not apply any generalization to an individual. I am sure that there are good, hardworking, honest Somalians, but I am not going to qualify my statements everytime I say that they are not good for the country and I want them all out, for example.

And a student who has the genes and the reproductive system of a male and had those at birth…Has never taken puberty blockers or hormones; never had (gender reassignment) surgeries, says ‘nevertheless, I am a woman. That’s who I am.’Can the school say, ‘No, you can’t participate?

HARTNETT: Yes, they can.

ALITO: Is that person not a woman in your understanding? The person says, ‘I sincerely believe I am a woman, I am in fact a woman.’ Is that person not a woman?

HARTNETT: I, I, would respect their self-identity in addressing this person, but in terms of statute, does that person have a sex-based biological advantage that’s going to be unfair for that person to be part of the women’s team? That’s the rationale for the regulation, and that’s the way we would be testing that…

They bought the lie by their organizers that ICE has no police powers for giving orders to, or arresting, anyone other than illegal aliens. These women (and their soy boy conspirators) have been told they are untouchable by ICE officers for anything they do. Trust me on this.

Yet if they checked on the webz, they'd learn ICE has been issuing orders for a long time to protestors to cease interference with ICE ops and arresting those not complying. They'd learn that courts have not issued orders to ICE to cease doing those things. Because ICE is legally doing those things.

It's a nationwide perfect storm of brainwashing, stupidity, and resulting LARPing as untouchable and stronk female superheroines.

>>If another band with the same physical appearance and performance/compositional skill level as the Beatles arrived in 1976, or 1994, or 2015, would they have automatically been a "world wide phenomenon," or just another pop band?

They were just orders of magnitude better than anything that was currently popular in the cultural zeitgeist. And it’s not that they were simply great, they were also prolific, what we think of as Beatlmania lasted for seven years and in that time they released 12 studio albums and pretty much every album could be considered a greatest hits album in its own right.

If you watch Rick Bragg, literally every artist he’s had on sites The Beatles as a major influence.

342 There will be no evidence or proof that the liberals will believe. Brainwashed, viscious, and crazy. Blind to truth, even if they see the video of the car and hear the dialogue 1000x.

They WANT what they believe to be true. Or, as "they" say, it is "their truth." I cannot relate at all to being so ugly in all ways (face and thoughts) to do this crap. And that is all it is: an outlet for their anger of being ugly and ignored. Or so I think. Years of indoctrination. Years of feeling bullied and left out and mental illness taking the place of normal self-esteem. Landman's episode of dyke in the dorm is an example.

The underbelly of reddit and social media feed this fire of insanity. As they did for anything Trump related. They cannot and will not change their thinking. They will become more angry and more dangerous.

I guess the Dyke Widow thought they had Nerf or paint guns. Wrong!

They had their little protest and found out that it is not fun, games and popcorn to interfere with the federal investigation of an illegal.

"Kick and ass," he said, moving me towards the idling SUV. I felt secret shame at all his buddies laughing at my expense, but then something completely unexpected happened. He gave me a reassuring pat the shoulder.

He wasn't a monster! How could he be so strong and also kind? My mind was reeling, and I felt feverish as he patted me down for weapons. I never wanted it to stop.

In that, it was what it was. Because it was a visceral experience--to a kid, that is.

Lucas spent a good portion of his life bringing this story to screen. And was on a schedule to produce the sequels.

That said, if his wife hadn't stepped up to recut the original, it probably would have been a lot more of a snorefest.

However, yes, the determination was that the .38 revolver was not as good as a .44 or .45

I think a few really good writers can work in prose as they do in fiction but not many. Asimov comes to mind, Thomas Fleming is another, but Tolkien's professional work was much less interesting than his fiction or rewriting fictional stories. I find the opposite with CS Lewis.

411 147 It strikes me that the "wife" was LARPing as a man. A role she was not psychologically capable of playing.

Men protect, and back down from threats when they are wrong and their loved ones are in danger.

...
Posted by: bob (moron incognitus) at January 13, 2026 04:47 PM (uEUHC)


I'd say you have it backwards. It was the "wife" who insisted on not backing down, and the driver (and driving is often something of a "guy thing") was LARP-ing as the "husband" appeasing "his" "wife" by doing as she urged.

Although an ACTUAL man would likely have refused, understanding full well where that would go, and having the instinct to both protect and survive.

But I would say it's not necessarily about backing down when you're wrong, the overriding concern is whether it's a battle you can WIN. Even if you're NOT wrong, you're going to back down, if it just not important enough to get your ass kicked over.

415 People leave out Simon and Garfunkel as contemporaries...
but, they were there before the Beatles and Simon managed to stay relevant well past any of the Beatles.
------

Simon stayed "relevant", Garfunkel not so much. Simon and Garfunkel definitely not so much. And Paul McCartney is still relevant to this day.

416 It is taking a lot of self control not to make any Beatles comments right now.

This is an argument I have had since the freaking 60s.

Name any song he penned after 1980 that wasn't on a Michael Jackson LP.

Now why are all the HQ Bad Bunny fans dissing the Beatles again?

Don't worry fellas, your guy's playing in the Super Bowl halftime.

The Beatles never did that!

He borrowed a lot from "Dune." Spice mines, emperor, stormtroopers/sardaukar, desert planet, mysticism.

------

"No More Lonely Nights" was included on the movie "Give My Regards to Broadstreet". Both the album and the movie did well. McCartney had other stuff that charted in the late 80s/early 90s. And I think that he had something (I remember a video of him walking a street playing a mandolin) that charted in the mid 2010s? If he wanted to chart an album, he'd have a better chance at doing so than Paul Simon--McCartney still sells out arenas.

I'm pretty much early post Beatles - when I started listening to popular music they were just quitting. I liked a lot of their stuff as radio filler, but they were rarely complex or deep enough to hit my radar.

434 Worst judge/justice? Possibly not, by a long shot. This cretin will, with luck, do little damage. The Kennedys and Roberts and many other "credentialed" disasters have continued and intensified the judiciary's decades' long assault on common sense, the constitution, and American civic values. She's a pathetic and perfect monument to the degradation of America by racist-authoritarian idiots, but if impact is considered far from the worst.

I knew who you meant, though I think of him as Rick Scenic Route. I'm not saying that "Almost Famous: The Cruelty of the Music Business" is epically long -- technically, it's just over 22 minutes -- but it would not have been out of place for the spirit of Dante to rise and give Rick a tour of production Hell:

436 >Might as well say I don’t get why Star Wars was such a big thing.
>Fuck You, Vietnam! Fuck You, "The Deer Hunter."

This. I doubt anyone really understands why Star Wars was such a big thing, as they've been trying unsuccessfully to replicate it ever since. The best theory I've seen is that at the height of malaise, Vietnam, "put on a sweater" and a movie season where everything at the box office was grim, cynical and dirty - along comes a film that's bright, optimistic, it has heroes and villains and you know which is which and you're allowed to cheer the heroes and boo the villains, and it's a pastiche of a ton of movies from your childhood that were actually *fun*. In short, Star Wars became Star Wars because it was the right kind of movie at the right time. Arguably same reason Top Gun: Maverick made a billion dollars.
