#Before they were Presidents

[deadpresidents]

Is DJT the only genuine "modern" style celebrity (i.e. post-"talkies") to become president? Ronnie was a B-lister.

I think people might be forgetting that Donald Trump was a D-list celebrity at best before he had a career renaissance of sorts with "The Apprentice", and even then, he was a two-bit reality show host who stole his catchphrase from Vince McMahon of all fucking people.

Trump had been famous for a long time, but before 2015 he was a joke who would do any and all publicity that he could get. (He was a joke after 2015, too, but a joke who somehow tricked 70 million+ Americans into buying into a dangerous personality cult that has destroyed the nation.) He used to go on anybody's radio show at any time and I know this because one of my best friends has been a longtime talk radio host in various cities and he could get Trump on whenever he wanted for as long as he wanted before Trump ran for President.

Ronald Reagan was certainly never an A-list movie star, but he was a far bigger (and more respected) star in the 1940s and 1950s than Trump was in the 80s, 90s and 2000s. Even after Reagan's movie career cooled off he spent nearly a decade as the host of a weekly prime-time national TV show which, at times, was one of the most popular weekly series in the country.

Feeling very optimistic about the final chapter because I am dying for Izuku to finally be able to unpack his feelings about everything he's experienced on his hero journey, and with regards to Katsuki (and All Might, respectfully everybody else get back). We've only gotten very small bits of introspection on his end, and with one chapter left, I hope that it's all given the space it deserves. Shipping aside, bkdk's relationship is core to the series and it would be extremely confusing for hori not to give them some semblance of proper closure or signal as to what their bond is going to evolve into after the events of the story.

(But on the other hand, slightly worried about the pacing based on the last few epilogue chapters...just pictured me sitting, reading, waiting for a bkdk handhold and the here comes cementoss and company for multiple pages 😭)

I just watched red white and royal blue and I find it highly unrealistic that they never had Alex's brown mexican ass ragging on british cuisine like not even ONCE

Look, I don't have the audio of this interview so maybe there's extra context that was cut out... but it is HILARIOUS to me how defensive he got when LITERALLY no one asked.

hello federal agents, if you see any jokes about recent events on my blog, please keep in mind that they are just jokes and i have no actual bad or dangerous intentions for any current or past political figure. i am merely a little guy trying to make their way on the internet in peace

[monkeeyuri]

[recurring-polynya]

this is the most disrespectful use of the split-screen reaction shot i have ever seen. i would file a grievance with the vice-captains' union.

The king and queen are visiting Paiporta and they receive them with mud xd two men have spoken to the king and told him to do something, but we all know that he is going to go to his palace and cross his arms because It's literally the only thing he can do. Is this what had to happen for people to realize that asking the king for help is nonsense? He has no power, he is only there to parade around. They have kicked out volunteers from the site to let the king and his escorts (police and military) pass, which is the first time they have touched that ground and they are going to do NOTHING. The president is doing the same. The president of Valencia is doing the same.

"Eventually, says Obama, he may run for office."

From the "People" section of TIME Magazine's February 19, 1990 issue -- on a page which included a larger story about Jenny Jones (who hadn't even started hosting her daytime talk show yet) and quick notes about Eric Clapton, Andy Rooney, and Daniel Day-Lewis:

Wait a second did kristen give any inspiring speeches in junior year I don't think she did

[felixravinstills]

[batemanofficial]

love watching all the neolibs say "uhm ummmm actually conscientious abstention from voting makes it clear that you just see voting as an opportunity to virtue signal (as opposed to an opportunity to affect change) and that makes YOU the neoliberal!!!!" like yeah man sure. and if we all join hands the symbols on our bellies will light up and we'll defeat the evil forces with the power of care bear magic

Remembered Trump is taking office in not too much longer. Absolutely nauseating.
