The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

It's what the right does.

Musk: “The long con of the left is corruption of the judiciary”

oh, please. fuck straight off with this hysterical fairy tale.

you want to talk about a long con to create a corrupt judiciary? while Democrats were sleepwalking, conservatives spent decades packing the courts with far-right extremists. just one example: during Donny’s first term, the Federalist Society gave him a list of pre-vetted ideologue judges. he nominated all of them.

remember when Glitch McConnell refused to take up the Supreme Court nomination of Merrick Garland — because, he said, it was too close to the 2016 presidential election — and we ended up with the government-hating Nihilist Neil Gorsuch? and then, four years later, faced with the same situation, he rammed through the confirmation of Amy Comey Barrett, because reasons. that’s the fuckery that led directly to the shitcanning of Roe.

but MAGA always has to portray themselves as eternal victims — so Elon loses one election and starts boo hoo hooing. poor me. it’s so unfair!

fuck off, Elon. go pilot Forkship One to Mars. send us a postcard when you get there.
