I am guessing Clint Eastwood in "In the Line of Fire" was DEI too?

The general observation that a Secret Service agent froze is fine... Tying it into the broader culture war is wrong and accomplishes nothing.

Oh, it accomplishes something, all right.

Even beyond "blue check" Twitter reply guys (ie. Paul Szypula), actual Members of Congress throwing around their culture war acronym of the month around makes it less likely to take their findings or thoughts seriously because it demonstrates that they are less interested in a finding the facts and more interested in keeping everyone divided along political lines (which, isn't that what we want to get away from?)

Yes, that is what we want to get away from.

Depends on the definition of "we"

I miss that account.   The best to ever do it.  

It's still around, but it's not as good as it used to be.  Like most good humor, it has gotten a bit stale.

Negative. I know you get kicks on body shaming women (we have gone over this if you remember). {snip}

Oh, so is this thread about me now? Outstanding.

that's how I felt about the 70's sports guy.  I unfollowed as it was just recycled tweets and constant use of buzzwords like 'goddamn' and 'heater'.  Just stopped being funny to me.  It was a good concept but gets stale.

The Pitchbot still nails it but it’s getting harder to top the real headlines.

yeah I liked that one too but recall it was becoming very much "buy these tshirts" than just good content.  

some of the shirts he sold I was surprised he wasn't getting hit with cease and desist for copyrights

I would just add that what happened on Saturday was deadly serious and deserves an actual investigation to figure out what's going on. The results of which will be remembered for a long time and (hopefully) will lead to actual changes.

Even beyond "blue check" Twitter reply guys (ie. Paul Szypula), actual Members of Congress throwing around their culture war acronym of the month around makes it less likely to take their findings or thoughts seriously because it demonstrates that they are less interested in a finding the facts and more interested in keeping everyone divided along political lines (which, isn't that what we want to get away from?)

the answer will probably turn out to be pretty boring. SS and locals met. Locals said they would secure roofs, SS said, "good." Locals didn't execute (someone's dog probably swallowed a pork chop bone needed an emergency trip to the vet), SS didn't verify. End of story.

🤷‍♀️

Nah, just your unblemished record of degrading women.

You all need to check your SEC championships and think about refinancing your water beds.  3 Year Letterman is still great.  
 

Also, Death Star PR needs to post more.

There was one where someone asked him in response to one of his ridiculous tweets if he had ever read a history book and his response was "oh god no" or something like that, it was so good.   

[Hongbit]

He had people going this week saying Trump made a mistake with Vance because he’s not 45 and therefore isn’t old enough to be President or Vice President.  He also used a picture of Dan Crenshaw and played it off as Vance.

So that's what the thread is about? Okey doke.

I'm convinced Dems want Trump to win.

Bad timing as it seems the RW is very unified at the moment.

I am pretty sure you dropped the Vagina post. But if you keep wanting to be the center of attention I can't stop you.

Remember when the Unified Reich was super TO'd because twitter was biased hashtag Twitter files?   Matt Taibbi? 

45 million examples per month of that nowadays at least

[pfife]

It's not fascism when they do it

[Motown Bombers]

It doesn’t escape me the lead impeachment manger against Trump for trying to overturn the election now wants to overturn the election.

Disappointed in the source, but it's also just stupid at this point. Are these Dems in some kind of bubble? Are they even watching Biden? He's made it clear as day he's not going anywhere so these folks are wasting their time pissing into the wind.

They are, that's the problem.
