We're already an oligarchy and have been for a while, we just hide it better. Economic elites and moneyed interest groups almost always win out over the people. There was a study on this like 10 or so years ago

I'm just here for the chaos

You could already do that with his Twitter knockoff stock. He's just diversifying his bribefolio.

Wasn't Heroes supposed to be an anthology show that got stuck with its original cast because of how popular it became? Didn't that also happen to Stranger Things?

I hated all those changes. Especially the faction jumping.

Yeah, for sure. It definitely depends on the show and the story that they are trying to tell. Like, I don't think 20 episodes of Discovery or Picard would have helped those at all. Just more bad. But more episodes of Strange New Worlds would be nice since it's pretty much just old Trek so it feels way too short.

I actually really miss 20-26 episode seasons

I have a Trumper coworker that has an odd fixation with trans people as well. Always asking really weird questions* like trans people run... well, literally anything or have any kind of power whatsoever. I'm like I've only ever truly known one trans person well and that story was such a tragedy because they ended up overdosing on purpose. I have a hard time caring about some hypothetical situation where Billy wants to become a girl just to steal Sally's trophy or whatever. *they think trans people are somehow impacting my young kid's schooling or the education system just by acknowledging they exist.

I dunno why they're always up in arms over non-issues. Orange for the orange god, outrage for the outrage machine.

The funny thing is they only trust him at his word on the good stuff He's super easy to manipulate too, Eric Adams just kissed his butt a little bit and pardons are already being floated. These companies stay at his properties, the Softbank thing was announced at Mar-a-Lago, and it includes previously announced investments, this isn't a completely new deal because Trump got elected, it's just being repackaged for a narcissist.

Making supporters feel justified, I guess

A bunch of smokey cokes. I got a bottle of Costco Islay Scotch and it's so cheap I don't feel bad about mixing it. Still really good though.

Look at his last administration, pretty much all the competent picks have since bashed him. Well, some of the incompetents had a thing or two to say about him as well. It makes sense to just go for loyalty if all you want is people to suck up to you and do exactly what you say... this time around.

We've started watching High Potential. It's a bit like Psych/Monk/Mentalist/Castle. The last couple of episodes have gotten really predictable but I'm still enjoying it.
