Newsmax coming back to Directv. Newsmax was trying to do a deal where Directv would have been paying them and rates would have gone up, but got told to gently caress off. Seems the new deal has the rates staying the same, but they are not releasing the financial part. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/03/22/directv-newsmax-distribution-deal.html https://twitter.com/IRCards3/status/1638577656097652737

Since politics is sports the deal should be public. I want to know how much the other teams spent in free agency so I can yell at my GM for not doing the same.

Some background on @catturd2 and his amount of influence: https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/catturd2-maga-twitter-shitposting-king-1234674671/ I was going to put some kind of adjective like "surprising" or "baffling" before "amount of influence" but after a little thought I realized that there's not much the online MAGA movement could do that would actually surprise me, and the high exalted status of Cat Turd Two makes perfect sense to me. e: What the gently caress is this poo poo, Rolling Stone A has-been music magazine posted:His evasiveness and air of anonymity notwithstanding, the real identity of @catturd2 is not hard to deduce. Rather than reveal his name, however, we’ll call him “B.” e2: He is Phillip Buchanan. gently caress you, Phil. I wonder if he'll ever start using his real name like the mysterious election forecaster "Poblano" - who turned out to be a fairly well known baseball analyst named Nate Silver. It's been over two years so probably not. quote:He’s in his late 50s, has multiple ex-wives but no children, and apparently lives alone except for his pets.

Hannity and his guests are all over how the MSM and CNN aren't talking about the Biden money news from this week and it's exhausting how they do this with every story they run. If "no one is talking about it" then how do I know so much about it and am fully up on the details of it even though I don't watch or listen to your garbage hardly at all? I know that what they mean is that it's not splashed all over the front page in 72 point type, consists of 16 different articles and that CNN rins other stories but, trust me Sean, it is being reported.

Anyway I don't really listen to Hannity anymore because the dude says the exact same poo poo in the exact same tone of voice using the exact same words every goddamn show. Every other right wing personality is at least interesting in their shittiness and say different things. And I still maintain Jesse Kelly is the most openly hateful and evil person in right wing media. The amount of poo poo he's said that not even other right wing media personalities will is staggering.

I think that's the most baffling thing about catturd. I had no idea what he's about until there was this big deal about Ol' Musky unbanning him. But I imagined he was like a right-wing dril instead of, well, that.

Panfilo posted:For people insistent climate change isn't a thing, they are sure scared of people talking about it The amount of people that believe this nonsense is frightening. There is literally no way to convince them otherwise. If you ask these people, kindergartner teachers are forcing kids to be gay and hosting drag shows, and 2nd grade teachers are making them practice blowjobs on each other. When you provide evidence that this stuff isn’t even remotely close to reality, they scream louder and yell “groomer” at you. I this isn’t one of those “yeah maybe it’s not happening here in MY community but it probably is happening somewhere” things. This is a “this is happening in every single public school in every classroom and the only option is to homeschool and pray for their souls”. It’s cult behavior and it seems to get worse as time goes by.

I also love that taking four year olds to church once a week where they're told if they don't pray to Jesus they will burn in Hell for eternity is somehow not brainwashing to these people. That's just telling them the truth to save their souls!

It's just like how forcing kids to pledge their allegiance every morning and teaching that the US is a perfect nation founded by infallible gods and exempt from the standards it holds the rest of the world to isn't "indoctrination." "Indoctrination" is apparently not doing those things.

"Indoctrination" is apparently not doing those things. It's because in their minds the alternative to teaching them that is teaching them the US is an evil nation founded by racists and rapists and therefore we should ignore the Constitution, and also hate white people solely because of their skin color. Just like their views on God/the Bible, they can never admit the Founding Fathers had flaws, or that they may have written anything racist or sexist by the standards of the time, because doing so means that everything they did must be ignored. So they become perfect beings who were all secretly not racist but just couldn't free the slaves because the imperfect people of the time wouldn't have understood their noble intentions. This also means that some things, like denying women the right to vote, were actually objectively good and correct, because they can't have ever made any mistakes. A lot of this is due to the Bible itself having a very black and white view on morality, that anything not of God is of Satan, and there are no gray areas when it comes to anything.

It is also a way to attack other places as not conservative enough. I live in deep red Southern Illinois and there are always stories going around about “kitty litter boxes for furries” but they are always other schools, not the school that their kid goes to. They did something similar with the lockdowns and vaccine rates. They saw any semblance of lockdown procedures or high* vaccination rates as proof that they are all a bunch of communists that live in a county that voted 80% for Trump. *higher than their own county but still loving abysmal.

Caught Glenn Beck and some guy fearmongering about CBDC and how it's programmable so the government will be able to prevent you from buying things if they deem it so, like if they do another lockdown and classify you a non essential employee they will prevent you from buying gas with it to ensure you can't go anywhere. And they way they will introduce the CBDC is they'll force a bank collapse and then cause inflation to go into hyperinflation and launch the CBDC as the new national currency to replace the dollar. My favorite part was when they showed they had no idea how bitcoin works, because they said the CBDC was bad because "You can't put it on a thumb drive and carry it out with you like you can with bitcoin." You can't do that with bitcoin either! Mr Ice Cream Glove posted:This is sure something In theory they actually do have to be free because the Federal Switchblade Act of 1958 (which covers automatic/auto open knives as well) makes selling those types of knives illegal across state lines. In reality who knows because Trump and his buddies have already shown they can flagrantly break the law as much as they want.
