Almost every one of you reading this would have your careers and personal lives destroyed for posting shit like this. The leader of the free world does it and it’s not even a blip on the news. Because his billionaire asshole buddies bought the news.

What I've heard for the last decade: "You're being ridiculous, Josh. I don't support him because I'm racist. It's because I care about ________" (insert abortion, the economy, guns, freedom, or other bullshit excuses here).
From 10:26 pm ET-midnight last night the president posted/re-posted dozens of clips including videos/clips pushing long-debunked 2020 election conspiracy theories after which one features this vile & racist depiction of President and First Lady Obama.

I love Michael Shannon, but… you could just watch Shutter Island?
Michael Shannon will star as the titular villain in a contemporary take on THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI from AS ABOVE, SO BELOW's John Erick Dowdle.

Now watching Luc Besson’s #Dracula adaptation. It’s pretty much baby’s first Coppola, but it looks really cool and there are some bonkers performances from Caleb Landry Jones and Christoph Waltz.

It's been more than two decades since I voted for a Republican, but this is a prime example of why I've still never been able to call myself a Democrat. God, they suck at their jobs.
SCHUMER says Democrats are “united” behind three DHS reforms

2/ Enforce accountability; a uniform code of conduct.
3/ Require masks off, body cameras on, agents carry ID.

Example number infinity of “Can you imagine what would happen if Obama said this?”
Trump: "With that being said, you can't have guns. You can't walk in with guns. You just can't. You can't walk in with guns. You can't do that. But it's just a very unfortunate incident."

Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment.

I do think that a possibly underrated dynamic in The Horrors is that the Right as it has reconstituted itself under Trump legitimately can’t understand sincere moral or physical courage
