Zuck ran Facebook like a lovely frat for the first couple years, including making the guys dress like Zuck and the girls wear fawning pro Zuck poo poo on his birthdays. He's actually worse than Trump, but maybe his wife controls him now, she's pretty loving cool in inverse proportion to how much of a tool he is.

FizFashizzle posted:I think palin is going to be a historical afterthought tbqh. She had no lasting legacy to speak of and the reaction to obama was going to happen regardless. There was no VP pick that was going to stop them from losing. Like, you can blame McCain for Palin and that opening the door for Trump... but there were so many moments and chances for the Republican Party to turn back. There were so many points during 2015 and 2016 that they could have stopped this. There were so many points of Romney doing a photo op with Trump and Trump being a regular at CPAC or years of Birtherism that they could have stopped this. There's so many historical steps from Goldwater to the Southern Strategy to Reagan in Mississippi to the Tea Party. Palin and McCain are just a brick in the wall. McCain's legacy will be that he pissed everything away in his final years and lost all credibility to stay in power and stay good with a Republican Party and a President that stood against the things he believed and insulted him personally. But he didn't create this Trump problem any more than every other Republican for the last 50 years did. STAC Goat fucked around with this message at 18:10 on May 30, 2017 |

Honestly if I'm Nancy Pelosi I'm orchestrating fake memos "leaked" from the Trump white house that they're considering gun registration to keep guns out of the hands of the non-college educated or something. Then come out condemning the federal government for overreacting on gun control. At this point why not

It's so loving obvious Trump personally colluded with Russia, that most of his team knew about it and some of them helped, and that his party were well aware and probably complicit. It's been obvious since last year just from things that were public knowledge. Every week more damning stuff comes out, real things not the Mensch conspiracy theories. It's going to take something like the piss tape for it to matter and probably not even then, where the conversation will change to "why is being friendlier with Russia a bad thing?" I feel crazy, which is probably the point.

Check this Adam Curtis doco out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HyperNormalisation quote:The term "hypernormalisation" is taken from Alexei Yurchak's 2006 book Everything was Forever, Until it was No More: The Last Soviet Generation, about the paradoxes of life in the Soviet Union during the 20 years before it collapsed.[3][4] A professor of anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley,[5] he argues that everyone knew the system was failing, but as no one could imagine any alternative to the status quo, politicians and citizens were resigned to maintaining a pretence of a functioning society.[6] Over time, this delusion became a self-fulfilling prophecy and the "fakeness" was accepted by everyone as real, an effect that Yurchak termed "hypernormalisation".[7]

Burning_Monk posted:So how many number of deaths is appropriate? None, obviously. But the point is risk minimization. Both guns and jello are considered useful to society, yet both do kill people at differing frequencies. If one asks, "Is there anything we could do to minimize the risk of injury from the use of this item?", the answer for jello is a resounding "No." For guns, on the other hand, there are regulatory measures that we could take that would reduce the amount of deaths they cause while still allowing them to be used.

The NRA is similar to the GOP in that they buddied up to the crazy for so long that they are stuffed full of true believers. Exorcising them would destroy the organization so the leadership will probably dance around the subject while being vaguely pro-printed-gun until the really crazy nut jobs get enough power to install someone who will go all-in.

I actually remember thinking snap elections that most countries have as soon as a majority doesn't like their leader were a bad thing, and that a duly-elected president needs to have the freedom of 4 years to do things that might be unpopular but necessary, and gradually convince people that he's right before the next election. Smugly thinking to myself every time some mildly bad news happened to a leader in another country "heh, guess they'll toss him out soon, what a silly, unstable system". We have 3.5 more loving years before we have a chance to correct this epic mistake.
