    the first question regarding that is did he breed. Plenty of people die in really stupid ways, but we have to make sure they did not knock up some dumb fuck trump slut before he went bye bye. Or at least we have to be sure he took out any offspring he may have had.

    They'll probably do the old Scientology trick of telling their acolytes/sycophants/bootlickers to buy it or else. :chris:

    But it may already be too late.

    Now, the question is: Will Jones hold to this, or will he quickly backpedal like he did after Trump bombed Syria?

    It turns out Trump doesn't just stiff his lawyers. It would seem, according to none other than Fox news, that he's waaaaay behind on payments to the host of his very own social media platform...

    A new report from Fox Business says Donald Trump's social media platform, Truth Social, may owe $1.6 million in missed monthly payments to its web-hosting service — a sign that the former president's online company could be hurting financially.

    In the Fox report, unnamed sources say Truth Social has made only three of its contractual monthly payments to RightForge — the company that Truth Social pays to keep the platform online — since the two began working together in October of last year, and has not made any new payments since March. The company is threatening to take legal action to recoup the money, the report says.

    The notion that Truth Social is apparently failing to make monthly payments to the company that hosts its platform online — a financial agreement similar to making monthly rent payments for an apartment — "would suggest that Truth Social’s finances are in significant disarray," Fox reported.

    With Devin Nunes in charge what could possibly go wrong? :ramen:

    Yeah, but companies aren't like individual humans.
    A human has an empty wallet, things come to a dead stop.
    Companies can operate in the red for a long fucking time.
    Look at Moviepass
    That fucking thing was harder to kill than Jason.

    “In the red” is not an empty wallet. Companies often have more sources of credit or equity financing so they can operate longer at a loss — individuals pretty much just have credit cards and personal loans and mortgages — but the fundamentals are the same.

    The difference is that when Clinton made that comment in 2016 she was referring to a specific subset of Trump supporters like Kluckers and Aryan Nation types.

    If you still call yourself MAGA now, though? You really are deplorable because you've been in the same car with the Klan and all the rest for at least six years. :lol:

    So a GOP gubernatorial (seriously, Americans, learn to fucking spell - governatorial. They GOVERN, they don't GUBERN) candidate dressed as a Confederate soldier a few years back during at event at an Army War College where he was a faculty member. No-one else chose the traitor uniform.

    https://edition.cnn.com/2022/08/26/politics/doug-mastriano-confederate-uniform/index.html

    This does raise the question - in the current climate, are Civil War re-enactments still going on and, if so, what are the folk dressing up as the traitorous slave-mongering cunts thinking? Are they proud, or are they consciously taking one for the team by portraying a dark period in history such that we don't forget, like the guys who play Nazis in war movies?

    According to M-W, the earliest known use of "gubernatorial" was in 1734, so if it's from North America, it's arguably still British.

    They still think that the south was right and they were unjustly attacked.

    So do they only re-enact the battles the South won, or do they think portraying the "tragic" defeat of their heroes is inspiring?

    The latter. Got to remember that for more than a hundred years all Southern schools, and any other that used Texas approved textbooks, were saturated in the teaching of the Noble Lost Cause. All those brave boys in gray may have lost the war but they lost fighting for the glorious noble cause of states rights. That's basically the central premise of a lot of entertainment like "Gone With the Wind" and all those Westerns with the hero being a former confederate. It's such a trope that even shows that really aren't about that at all still build it into their narrative because the "heroic rebel that was right but still lost" (see: Reynolds, Malcolm) is engrained in our culture, particularly western culture and not just southern.

    Historian Heather Richardson (among others I'm sure but she's a really good explainer) wrote a whole book about it:

    There's a lot of things to despise Joss Whedon for lately, but one thing people don't bring up enough is how he helped revitalize the modern Confederate apologist/anti-government crybaby mindset.

    Nowadays those assholes don't picture their grandparents fighting for their freedom to hold down the blacks, and they don't picture themselves fighting to hold down the gays and the transgenders and the pregnant women, they just picture Nathan Fillion fighting back against faceless villains trying to "tell them how to think." :dayton:
