This is why we need a functioning immigration system, like we had before the felon’s first term, not why we need to defund immigration courts, not why we should halt asylum and refugee programs, not why we need to defund the border patrol like Republicans voted for.

The $20 million of taxpayer money used to go to the Super Bowl could have been spent hiring 400 border agents for an entire year! Or 100 immigration judges, either of which could make a noticeable positive difference. The $10 million spent on golf so far, another 200/50. The $1 million per military flight (instead of $8k per immigration flight) could have funded a thousand more border agents or 250 judges. That’s 1600 border agents or 400 judges not hired, not protecting the border, and every penny spent to pay for one man’s entertainment for 3 weeks. So much for eliminating waste or trying to fix the problem.
If doge was looking for waste or fraud, they would have hit the office of the president first, that is where the biggest wastes and frauds are.

Everything he complained about is a direct result of Republicans policy, not one bit from what Democrats voted for or implemented. Nothing the Republicans have done has helped stem the tide at all, except for destroying the economy which had many return home in 2020 for work. They voted against more border control, against better immigration courts, and against working with our neighbors instead of against them.
What keeps enticing immigrants from South America, and they’ve been 100% clear, open, and honest about it whenever they are asked, is Republicans politicians on TV every single day saying the US border is wide open, and that gets shown in their countries. Every time they say “open borders” 1000 immigrants say “woo hoo, let’s go!”.

Why all the hate (not referencing Ozzy Man, the "Interwebz")? Raygun knows she's not gonna win, and Breaking isn't getting another chance as an Olympics event anytime soon, if ever, so might as well have fun. It's not hard to understand.

I found her amusing when I was watching it live, she wasn't mocking anyone or breaking imo, but it did took me a few seconds to "get" the entertaining routine. The judging panel's all-zeroes was harsh but at least I understand it's based on technical merits, not artistic ones. Still... not even .0001 pt? Seems like a bit out of anger/shock, but whatever...

Don't take things too seriously internetz, have some sportsmanship & solidarity for those that know they're there for the "participation trophies" and not for the way-too-distance-for-them medals. All the trolling from the couch potatoes truly reflect poorly on humanity.

It’s a slow day, have another 25

While Biden met our allies in NATO to strengthen our coalition and plan the stand against violent aggressive Russian expansion, the felon was busy hosting and entertaining authoritarian dictator Viktor Orban who first visited Putin to collect and deliver his messages to the felon in person so no one could ever know what was said…days after his plane parked next to the Russian Diplomatic plane for days to facilitate secret meetings…once again negotiating with our enemies before even being elected (much less taking office), exactly what Flynn was convicted for lying about.
Remember, when Putin openly invaded Ukraine the felon said it was “brilliant” and “oh, that’s wonderful!”.
How many stolen top secret documents about our military capabilities and methodology travelled to Russia in such exchanges. There is a 100% Guarantee the number is not zero.

His attempts to distance himself from his own horrific project 2025 platform is failing miserably, not so good that it’s leaders are on camera saying they understand the felon needs to distance himself and appear unconnected but make no mistake that’s purely political and he IS OUR STANDARD BEARER AND DOES SUPPORT OUR PLATFORM 100%….and the more he tries to hide his direct and complete connection the more people are looking into it and we all see clearly that it IS his platform written by HIS campaign and his favorite group the heritage foundation who in 22 he praised as an organization who was drafting his platform for his next administration, the same group whose platform he used in 2017 as his own, enacting over 85% of their wishlist in his first year. D’oh!

The felon in 22-“ The critical job of institutions such as heritage is to lay the groundwork. And heritage does such an incredible job at that. This is a great group, and they're gonna lay the groundwork and detail plans for exactly what our movement will do and what your movement will do when the American people give us a colossal mandate to save America. And that's coming. That's coming”
The felon in 24 - “I don’t know them, I don’t know who’s involved, I don’t know anything about their plan but I disagree with some of it (WHAT!?). “

Real "I ate all the Halloween candy" video vibes here. Perhaps I'm just a fun hater, but I'm very not a fan of the genre. Feels like the ask for participants is "please slightly erode your parent-child relationship to entertain strangers." Maybe the kids feel fine about it after the fact, but on some level there's got to a tiny bit of "my parent is willing to hurt me for the benefit of others" encoded into their mind forevermore.

I would expect any SCOTUS only to have " richer" friends.
Dont think any SCOTUS / POTUS/ Congress member would entertain a dinner trip with @newtboy or other commoner.

How about an extra long post-fight interview/re-match where they yo-mama b!atch-slap each other with words? Half the time the contestants' ego-stroking boasts are more entertaining than the actual fight anyway...

You'd have to admit that it would be a very boring video without all of the risks they were taking for my entertainment. My thoughts were "what a bunch of assholes" but yet I was entertained waiting for their just rewards.

I don't see them as cyclers. I just see stupidity on wheels. Maybe their YT money will pay for someone else's funeral or lawsuit.

I have to wonder how they are not in jail already with all the video evidence on line.

You've just described 90% of modern entertainment.

*dead -- "Video unavailable
This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Sonar Entertainment"

I'm upvoting because the presentation seems pretty creative, and I believe there was likely still a human involved with putting it together. But the utter wrongness in a lot of AI-generated art really fucks with my head, and I could only handle about half. I worry that the more we allow AI to have a hand in creative endeavors the less meaningful our entertainment will become. Also the more fractured and individualized our options, the less common ground we'll have with which to relate to each other.

Already listed as lies and debunked….bob is learning!

Note bob, this guy’s videos have a disclaimer that he is entertainment, not news or information, “This is an entertainment show for entertainment purposes ONLY.”

His source is one guy, Paul Bedard, an opinion columnist for the Washington Examiner…the extreme right rarely factual rag. He wonders why the media hasn’t reported it…because there’s zero evidence behind the claim.
The fbi site
https://www.fbi.gov/file-repository/active-shooter-incidents-in-the-us-2022-042623.pdf
shows 50 “active shooter incidents” in 2022, only 2 stopped by civilians with guns. That’s 4% bob, not 60%.

You are so gullible Bobby. Never even considering looking into something you hear as long as you like how it sounds.

More ridiculous lies by our favorite ridiculous liar.

Nice @surfingyt
This bit linked from yours…
https://themessenger.com/entertainment/rich-men-north-richmond-singer-oliver-anthony-america-diversity-makes-us-strong-angering-conservatives

…clarifies his positions a bit and reiterates mine stated above…he may not have intended his message to be racist (this now sounds like a certainty based on his statements), but his audience definitely hears it that way and wants it that way… and when he clearly said he thinks diversity is a strength half of them threw up their hands, turned around, and shouted “I’M OUT!”….and when he stated he wasn’t talking about Biden but instead meant people like the Republican field seen on the debate stage (and others not present) even more turned away from him.

I wonder what @bobknight33 has to say about that. 😂

this is too funny

https://themessenger.com/entertainment/oliver-anthony-rich-men-north-of-richmond-republican-debate

Yeah, bro. That’s what happens when you put a bunch of Republican talking points in your song. If you use dogwhistles, don’t be surprised when you’re suddenly surrounded by dogs.
