    Okay, unrelated to any of the absurd Trump nonsense, what movie is this from? Is that Mark Rufallo? Whoever he is, that character is my Spirit Animal

    If I were an Onion article writer, I'd probably have a mental breakdown. Who can come up with anything more Oniony than this??? (Wait until tomorrow for the answer, I guess.)

    Tbh this is probably something Trump, 79, will forget he said in a week or so and no one will take any action.

    "There was no indication the Patriot Games would pit competitors against each other in a fight to the death, as of this writing." Lmaoo

    Funny thing is, if they decided policy this way I'd guess it'd be more representative than the House of Representatives for California.

    Wow, now even Snopes has the “give us your email for access” bullshit?! How disappointing.

    This is what happens when everyone uses adblock

    If the online ad industry was just about serving ads you could say that I guess. Early Internet ads were usually placed pretty intrusively on websites, and very soon went from annoyance to security risk as ads became a disturbingly common vehicle for malware delivery. Today malware via ads is far less common but an ad isn't just an ad -- now ads are powered by, and an agent of, a surveillance network.

    If an ad could just be an ad it would actually be safe to roll without an ad blocker; I would infact do so as well unless a site was really egregious with their ad placement, I want to support websites doing good work. The Internet ad industry forced us into blocking their ads. My adblock never turns off, even for sites I'd very much like to support, because ads are just a pile of malicious code. Ad blockers would have stayed niche techy things if the ad industry wasn't scummy as hell.

    So anyways, I feel I got a little rant-y. My point is that the ad industry themselves fed the demand for ad blockers. Ads themselves and website placement didn't get egregious because of ad blockers, ad blockers became common because ads and ad placement got egregious.

    Is it a satire? At this point I seriously can't tell

    At this point if anything says Trump is doing something so ridiculously stupid that nobody would really do that then it is true because it has been 100% of the time.

    Sometimes I notice such a thing posted by the Onion and figure they found a way to predict the future.

    President Vance might somehow be worse.

    Vance may be worse, but I don't think he would have whatever voodoo control it is that trump has on the deplorables.

    Yeah, the man has negative charisma. But like any other cult that survived long enough, that's actually how it usually goes. Original guy is batshit crazy and has control over minds of his cultists, and when he dies the new guy is ruthless, efficient, and keeps in relative obscurity, and if he's successful, the cult lives on. The second guy usually makes a cult into evil machine of hate, abuse, grift, and expansion.
    It happened with mormonism, it happened with scientology. If it will happen with maga it will be the catastrophic end of the US.

    Isn't there a really bad Clancy book by that name? Yeah, I just read the plot summary and it sounds as deranged as something trump would write.

    This is not at all the worst idea he's ever had

    It actually sounds kinda nice.

    Where's he getting the money for it though?

    That. Is the question.

    This, the oil tanker and the new trans care nonsense seems pretty obviously timed to distract from the Epstein files BS
