Trump Weird News - "Fake News"

[impossiblekittydelusion]

I think Neil just starts Robert-Pattinson-style lying to the press at some point. Is it for his entertainment? Does he hate the press? Does he love lying? Is it to give Kevin a stroke? Is it to amuse Andrew? Yes to all of the above.

the most unbelievable thing about blue exorcist to me is that rin didnt know about shiemi's existence at all. Like not at all?? I get yukio being able to lie and lead a double life but he never mentioned his childhood friend that he tutors like once a week? He was never in a situation where he was like 'oh i heard this from shiemi' not even a slip up??? Not even once??????? I feel like when rin met shiemi he shoulda known OF her at least.

Absolutely all of my love for Millie Bobby Brown who recently called out all of the hate she has been getting recently for her appearance by actually naming articles and the people who wrote them. You’re my hero.

DICK GRAYSON / NIGHTWING in NIGHTWING (1996) #1

I know this isn’t a particularly common characterization of them (at least not what I’ve seen) but I personally think of the two;

Shanks rarely gets restless, he’s the one more content to just bask in a moment, it may not be in silence but he’s comfortable just doing nothing with his crew. As long as there’s alcohol, a hammock and the people he loves, Shanks is straight.

Contrary to that Mihawk is always itching to do something, entertain himself in some way. If he’s not dueling/training, he’s gardening if it’s not that then he’s cooking or he’s reading and if nothing else will do then he naps. but he’s always trying to occupy his time with something.

I think a lot of people don’t notice it because it’s not the jittery hyperactivity that people associate with it. But Mihawk is restless, endlessly so. He’s in a never ending fight with his boredom but it’s all internal.(except when he decides to make it someone else’s problem ala Don Krieg)

Mihawk’s the type of dude to implode instead of explode so it makes sense that things like restlessness don’t really show themselves in an outwardly physical way. Instead it’s more of an internal pressure and incessant need to stave off boredom. But because of his preference for being alone and the fact that the activities he chooses aren’t ones usually associated with restlessness. It goes unnoticed.

Except by Shanks who’s always going out of his way to make the life of a pretty little birdie a litte more interesting.

This manufactured outrage over Biden pardoning his son is pure gaslighting. First off. If it wasn’t for the extremely lax gun laws Republicans have, with more passion than anything, protected, it wouldn’t just be a box on a form asking questions. It would be more extensive background checks. Republicans would say, ‘you do get a background check when you purchase a firearm!’. To them I would say, ‘if you have to show id multiple times to vote, maybe multiple background checks for a firearm should undergo the same scrutiny.’

How many hours, how much wasted money, effort and taxpayer resources did James Comer spend trying to find dirt on Biden, he never could. Trump was impeached, the first time, for trying to find dirt on the Bidens. None ever came up. Except that his surviving son had substance abuse problems. To which now he has cleaned up and is sober. That’s hard to do, to judge him for purchasing a firearm, that was revealed in a book Hunter wrote, and with the lack of integrity, and the cruelty of Republicans, they went after Hunter thinking, ‘he may have been under the influence when he purchased this weapon that was never used in a crime. We got him!!’ Absolutely pathetic! A sick display of a lack of moral fortitude.

The dirty tricks, the hypocrisy, the lying, the projection and gaslighting from the once “Grand Old Party” is a display of the absence of any ethical boundaries. The cheating, the corruption, the dirty tricks. We see you. Your day will come. 🇺🇸

less maddening phenomenon on that post that is nonetheless quite maddening is people referring to “alcoholic” as a character archetype rather than as. like. a form of representation of a group of people with a stigmatised disorder. sure, in a way the alcoholic is a character archetype. whatever. but to me that is secondary to the fact that real alcoholics exist and. at present. there is not huge diversity in the ways we are depicted in media

The thing about show!armand is that his great evil* wasn't about him obsessively doing anything he possibly could to keep Louis it was looking at Louis and thinking "maybe if you don't actually care very much about me I shouldn't burn my whole life down over you and your treasonous daughter I'm annoyed with." It didn't have to be any more vindictive than that. His baseline state is monstrous; he kills people in elaborate little plays every night for enrichment and group bonding. I definitely think he put a couple little extra vicious twists in there for the love spurned but really at the end of the day the worst of what he does to Claudia and Louis is withdrawing his protection and treating them like any other victims.

"I’ll tell you what’s going to be horrible, when we take a wonderful young woman who’s with a criminal. And they show the woman, and she could stay by the law, but they show the woman being taken out. Or they want her out and your cameras are focused on her as she’s crying as she’s being taken out of our country. And then the public turns against us. But we have to do our job."

[Trump on 'Meet The Press']

+

For me, this telling moment in his Meet the Press interview yesterday (for in my current world, it already is the morning after) reveals the very essence of Trump. He can't help himself being that scorpion from his favorite poem. He is a stupid and incurious man, and his worldview is largely that of a child -- but one thing he, as a creature of television himself, understands extremely well is the power of visual images; and he knows his deportation policies will produce ugly, heartbreaking images that will turn the public against him. But he cannot help himself. Vileness, cruelty, borne out of his eternal resentment against the world that he believes has forever wronged him by not fully appreciating his unique woundable greatness, is the dominant characteristic of his nature. He’s going to separate families and deport American-born children regardless. No one is telling him he must do it. No one is whispering in his ear. It's him, it's who he is, it's how he has lived his shameful life. He is a human scorpion -- a demented one, at this point, but a scorpion nonetheless. The most dangerous man in the world. Or, to put it a little less metaphorically, a fascist.

And millions of those who voted for him did so, to a great unspoken degree, because they sensed and appreciated that cruelty and vileness in him, and the darkness of his heart continually reverberates in unison with the darkness lurking, hidden, suppressed, within their own hearts. If I could address them directly, I would say, What have you done, you deluded, lost people, o what have you done...

"Colton and Akiyama have a long and rich history, having worked together for Arasaka since their early twenties— Colton as director of the SERPENT projects and Head of Special Programs, and Akiyama as recruiter and quality control manager across all of the corporation's Night City facilities. The two disliked each other from the start and from an outsider's perspective only rarely saw eye to eye; but if anything their rivalry was a challenge, a way to keep each other sharp, and one of the only ways they could have some fun in the megacorporation's grasp. Years later, the two reunite at Club Bodytalk following the incident in spaceship Elysium and the fall of Cobra Cybernetics. Surrounded by the victims of the projects they once ran, their heads are forcibly turned into the direction of their past mistakes— their guilt connects them and it forges a bond of understanding they can't get with anyone else, and while they cannot erase their past they can ensure that no one else ever has to go through any of that again." ↳ andy belongs to @mojaves, template here [x]
