Non-crazy Republicans come in two flavors; low-tax and anti-abortion. Neither group can win elections without the crazies, but more importantly neither group requires sanity in its allies in order to achieve it’s political goals. Compared to any other first world country, US taxes are genuinely lower, and increased restrictions on abortion do seem more likely. Contrast with say the pro-imperialism faction (neoconservatives). As they had ambitions to do complex and diffilcult things, they couldn’t, and didn’t, succeed while crazy. So that’s the one group that did actually abandon the Republican. It just turned out to be a pretty small one.

From that they decided he was going to press the Big Magic Button and make it so that 1 USD = 1 IQD = 1 ZMD and frantically started buying up any currency with a lot of zeroes on its notes.

The Dinar thing always weirds me out because it's so obviously stupid for a community that self-mythologizes about their skill at the Economy. Revaluing currency in this bizarre way is the purest form of fiat currency printing that they are normally so concerned about whenever someone proposes spending money on social services. Not only that, it's printing currency for the benefit of foreigners, most Iraqi dinar is held by Iraqis, people that Trump supporters barely hold as human.

Yeah how was that supposed to work, you buy $100 worth of dinars and then Bush revalues it and makes you into a millionaire and every Iraqi becomes a billionaire I guess? Or maybe it was based on really sheltered assumptions, like no Iraqi has $100 and you could go buy the entire country for less than your 401(k), like that Eurotrip joke about tipping a bellhop with an American dime in Bratislava and he slaps his boss and says "see this, I will open my own hotel"?

Does anyone know the sponsors to Bannon's podcast? I tried looking it up and I REALLY don't want to actually listen to it. Also if it's grooming products that is the funniest God damned thing ever.

Dude have you tried the jail cleanse, it's amazing. Actually she's probably not wrong, remember the QAnon shaman got a organic whole foods catered prison stay, if you're white and commit right wing political crimes you get sentenced to a spa retreat

I want to point out that Flynn and Wood are talking, Wood says "people online are saying the Qanon stuff, you're involved" and Flynn says "that's all a CIA psyop" The boys on the podcast seem to think he means Qanon is a psyop but I take his statement to mean "my involvement is just a lie". I don't BELIEVE him, but I think he's trying to pretend he isn't involved at all. It's loving lies inside lies inside grifts. I hate these idiots so loving much.

Ed wood was definitely insane and up his own rear end. I thought he also had a bunch of abusive relationships with women for the gross part, but maybe I am remembering wrong.

He was married a bunch of times, but all his wives left him because of his crossdressing and personal neuroses. He wasn’t abusive as far as I know. He’s a pretty tragic figure, honestly. If he had been born 30 years later, he probably would have been perfectly happy and free to be himself.

It's been a bunch years since I read his biography (Nightmare of Ecstasy, I believe it's called), but my impression agrees with yours. Weird guy, with an even weirder social circle, but I can respect that. Unfortunately he was not the greatest businessman, but the dude never EVER gave up -- he tried and failed about eight times more things than I've ever even just tried -- and you have to respect that.

I believe the best assessment of Wood was "genius without talent". I mean, think about it. Can you name the Best Director for the 1957 Oscars? (It was George Stevens for Giant, a western) But the types around here can most likely name the guy who directed Plan 9 from Outer Space. And I'd wager the average person on the street would be more likely to know Woods' name than Stevens, even though Stevens had two Best Director awards and a Thalberg Memorial Award.

Those were delicious. Not really worth the last 5 years of pain but still pretty good. I am not all all surprised that when confronted with a reality they dislike, that Covid almost killed Trump and he’s actually pro vaccination (even if just for selfish reasons), that they don’t adapt their view to match reality but just reject Trump and assume he’s a clone.

They're just as rabidly anti-vax, so their main justification is 'He's saying he got it, but he wants everyone to have a choice, rather than the MANDATES that Biden wants'.

“Telling me I have to work remotely or find a job that will allow me to work remotely isn’t allowing me a choice but I’m okay with not giving other people I come into contact with a choice to not interact with me. If that waitress/clerk/whomever didn’t want to get infected she/he should have found a job that allowed them not to interact with people.” Is pretty much how that sounds to me.

You're giving them way to much credit. These are people that refuse to acknowledge that their actions and choices impinge on others.
