There was always a certain ambiance in Circuit City that I found to be appealing. At least on my local one before it closed down. It was like the lights were dimmed way down, but it was still bright enough to see. I guess you would call that “cool temperature” lighting, which is definitely not fashionable anymore. Everything nowadays seems to follow Apple’s store design which is this sterile eggshell white, bathed in neutral or warm temperature lighting. I find it kind of boring, but I understand why they do it that way.

Plus, I loved how instantly recognizable their old stores were. The big red block turned at an angle for an entrance was brilliant imo. They used it a lot in their television commercials and made it look like a plug end or a battery coming down from the sky.

I think the difference is that right-to-die advocates have gone to insane lengths to ensure beyond a reasonable doubt that their setups which administer the lethal substance do so painlessly, so as to ensure that the person willingly choosing to die spends their last few moments not in pain anymore.

Prisons don’t seem to have the same standard in mind with their own setups. If anything, they seem to want to maximize suffering for the sake of the spectacle they’ve arranged the execution around.

They get confused and think they are sitting in traffic that isn’t moving, so they occasionally let out a honk. Multiply it by dozens of vehicles and it’s just a cacophony of honking cars with nobody in them.

I’m honestly shocked that the board hasn’t gotten rid of him yet. he’s just a massive source of problems for them. My suspicion is that he is so good at creating controversy that they can time their watches to it, so to speak, and buy/sell their positions in the company while Elon takes all the heat from the SEC for insider trading, not the crooked board members who know he’s a total whacko but acknowledge the reality that he has a lot of gullible techbros with too much money on their hands hanging on his every word and they will rush to buy Tesla stock or Dogecoin or whatever if Elon says he’s making market moves when he’s actually running his classic pump-and-dump schemes.

She may not have fucked Trump, but Trump sure fucked her.

Thank you! I think it’s sad how they are so desperate to paint their election opponent in a negative light to score political points that they are pretending she’s the president and is responsible for everything going on. Even in normal circumstances, the president can’t push a magic button and control the price of eggs or gasoline or whatever, but the hypocrisy of blaming Harris for it now is just doubling down on the lie. It was all “Biden did this, Biden did that” right up until he bowed out of the race and suddenly Harris is actually responsible for all that shit and it’s infuriating to see them trying it and even more infuriating to see it somehow actually working on people.

But wait! I thought mail-in ballots were fraud? If only the in-person voting on Nov 5th counts according to Republicans, why is he concerned with people casting their ballots before that date? It’s not November yet, so plenty of time for another debate so Harris can humiliate Trump again.

The duplicity of the Republican party never ceases to amaze me. I mean, I’m not surprised by their nonsense anymore really, I’m just amazed that there are so many people who have been spoon-fed election lies from Trump and they don’t even blink after an about-face like that.

Pussy ass bitch got obliterated and is running scared. Can’t even get a single conherent sentence about policy out of his mouth.

Vote in November and make sure his ass lands in a prison cell.

Aw, but all my other bones are so low maintenance.

May White God Bless America. 🫡

That seems to be the case around the world right now. Democratic governments everywhere are facing surging right wing extremist parties with populist demagogues doing frighteningly well in elections. I just don’t see the appeal.

They’d just blame the Democrats anyway. Republicans thrive in dysfunction because they can convince their low info base that nothing bad is ever their fault.

The Republican party needs to have plausible deniability. In the conservative playbook, it’s okay to repeat things that they know for a fact are untrue, or to tell a lie of omission to further their agenda, because they can always walk it back at the point in time which they are receiving blowback by saying they didn’t know it wasn’t true or that they didn’t have all the facts at hand. Assuming that the lie doesn’t manifest itself into truth or that there are enough people who care enough about the real truth to bother fact checking it at all to the point where it would necessarily generate any kind of controversy.

This was Vance saying the quiet part out loud, probably by accident, and his pivot was not convincing at all.

I really don’t want Trump to get shot and killed.

I really really want Trump to live the rest of his life in constant fear and paranoia, never able to enjoy the things that he loves, isolated from the world and starving for the adulation of the people who will quickly forget him in the prison of his own making as he taps away at his phone on his own little social media bubble, grasping at being relevant again until the day he dies of natural causes and the nation lets out a wet fart of false sympathy and lowers the flags to half staff for the day while the news media puffs him up one last time before they, too, stop giving a shit and we close this chapter of our lives and our nation.

That requires Harris to beat Trump in November, so I need the fucker to stay alive until then.

Oh, it will. If they march on the capitol again, Biden will call in the national guard.

Trump didn’t do that when he was at the helm because he wanted them to succeed.

I almost want them to try again so this time an example can be made of them, since our legal system refuses to hold extremists accountable for their own actions.

Why take a bribe from John Oliver, who would immediately turn around and disclose that Thomas accepted it on his television program, when he could just go ask Daddy Harlan Crow for an identical RV and then not disclose it?

The Supreme Court is corrupt to the core. There’s an inability to hold them accountable for anything. The system of checks and balances functionally doesn’t exist for this “apolitical” branch.

I have never cared so strongly about something that I felt it was appropriate to harass someone via Twitter for their views on it.

I’ll be negatively judging them, sure, but I’m not going to flood their DMs with death threats. That’s some basement dwelling troglodyte bullshit right there.

CNN should take some notes. That’s what moderators are supposed to do.

Report to the nearest Ordo Hereticus branch office for immediate punitive correction and summary execution.

Trump could be in a vegetative state, literally medically braindead, and Trump voters would still line up to cast their ballots for him.

That’s what happens when you have a cult of personality, it takes on a life of it’s own and becomes more of an identity than an ideology. They don’t care what Trump stands for or even if Trump stands, all that matters is that they are Trump people and they only want to associate with their kind.

For the rest of us, things like fitness and policy matter, which is why Biden was held to account and Trump will never be. There is no line that cannot be crossed.
