Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. (Politics General)

The Daily Wire is doing a biopic about the life of Malcolm X, with the titular civil rights leader portrayed by Michael J. Knowles.

Knowles, who isn’t an actor, is white.

@SleepySteve
And I’m sure none of those who complained about the Little Mermaid not being the “right skin color” will emit a peep about it.

More Russian meat for the grinder.

@Zincy
My morbid curiosity is making me wonder how many pro-Putineers comfy ranting in their homes are gonna be sent to the front.

@SleepySteve
In a sign of how popular this move is, people are fleeing the country in droves to avoid mobilization.

For those of you keeping score at home, this is the part in Putin’s Vietnam where CCR’s “Fortunate Son” starts playing.

@Background Human
Out of the loop did Putin just announce a draft or something?

@Background Pony #1F81
“Partial mobilization” which means conscription (the draft). Problem is most of those units will be from untrained folks. Very hard to see how he actually gets 300,000 units.

And enforcing those anti-draft dodger laws they passed yesterday will be easier said than done.

@SleepySteve
It’s not quite a draft. He’s activating the reserves and issuing stop-loss orders. Sorta the same bullshit we pulled when Iraq started going south.

And just like Iraq, it won’t fix the problems on the ground, but it will make the war more painful for the folks at home.

Wild shit about an evangelist campaigning with Mastriano. Who’s as nutty as you think he is. Here’s a taste:

Normal GOP Pennsylvania has there. But then again so many state GOPs are giving these fascist freaks a platform.

@SleepySteve
Holy shit, I’m trying to read that while keeping a straight face and failing badly.

@Ereiam
The existence of garbage like him is more than enough proof, to me, that God isn’t real.

@SleepySteve
I fail to see how. God isn’t Stalin or the thought police.

@SleepySteve
I consider it more like proof that anyone who claims to be speaking in God’s name is a hack.

It has happened: Donald Trump, his family and the Trump Organization are being sued by New York for widespread fraud, seeking $250 million in damages.

Yeah, the chance of an early 2024 announcement just went sky high.

@SleepySteve
Trump for Prison in 2024.

Vertol Systems, the contractor who carried out DeSantis’ human trafficking stunt, is a major GOP donor.

Vertol also won a contract with the Navy in 2021 for flight training services.

I see red text

I wouldn’t call it the “best” example, but a recent one is news that Moscow Mitch fully wanted to impeach Trump but did the opposite because he was scared of Trump’s Qult hating him.

And now they do anyway after Trump got angry at McTurtle for very slightly tweaking him.

A bankruptcy judge has declared that Alex Jones is now longer allowed to run/own his site InfoWars.

@Background Pony #1F81
So does that mean InfoWars is shutdown?

@NitroFury
It’s not shut down AFAIK

Apparently an independent party is being put in as a temp owner until all of Alex’s legal stuff is over.

@Background Pony #1F81
Who the hell would want to own that webshite?

Jones makes millions off the snake oil he sells from the site.

Here we go
Additional Bloomberg article on it
According to Reuters flights out of Russia have sold out, Russia has stopped selling tickets to men between 18 and 65 unless approved by the MoD, and Russians are Googling how to avoid mobilization.

Putler better enjoy being in power while he can because I think this is the end of his run (and hopefully the end period).
