That means a lot. I do feel like I’ve been slacking in the Lana content department this year, but I found a bit of a voice in that thread to share ideas that I can’t really share anywhere else, and feel safe about it

I’m honored to be nominated for something that’s virtually the opposite of what I was nominated for last year

bittersweet

Thankful there’s finally a thread for this!!

Further erosion of norms, just what we need

Does Biden pardoning his son fall into this topic? I honestly think it was a pretty dumb move, although I get why he did it. The republicans have been going after Hunter Biden for years and with Trump back, you know they’re going to dial it up to 11. I think it was also an FU to Trump. On the flip side, this gives Trump the green light to pretty much pardon anyone he wants. Sure, he was probably already going to, but now it essentially erases the precedent and will probably lead to future abuses of power. The pardon is one of the few power moves that a president has that is without limit. Now Trump can pardon himself too I think it’s a bad look for Biden’s legacy. It’s pretty much a bad look for the outgoing administration as a whole, since no one apparently advised him against it. Even though he completely ruled it out in previous interviews. Get ready for more of the “Biden crime family” talking points.

AOTY contender has to be Girl with No Face by Allie X. Brat is another obvious one, but plenty of people have already nominated it here.

It’s the media bubble. While a small percentage of voters might be shocked, I think most don’t care. The average Trump voting American doesn’t follow politics that closely. If anything, they want Trump to shake things up and tear down the establishment, so they are probably neutral on or even like his policy proposals and nominees It’s like the media making a huge deal about the “large number” of republicans supporting Harris in the election. In the end, it was a really small number. Probably smaller than the amount of republicans who voted for Clinton in 2016. Minority, but vocal.

The problem is, republicans don’t want more regulation and control over stuff, especially food. You’d probably see fast food prices, for example, go UP if the additives and preservatives were banned. There's a ton of shit in our food that’s very unhealthy for us, but I don’t see that changing. Do you really see republican officials voting to approve such measures? While RFK Jr. has a few good ideas, about every good one is counteracted by 5 or 10 horrible conspiracies. Also, big food companies, including factory farmers, are going to lobby hard against more regulation. Even in theory, if a few bad ingredients get banned, it will be more than offset by vaccine requirements getting eliminated and implementation of his other kooky ideas, that will make us even more unhealthy.

As terrifying as these picks are, they still have to be confirmed by the senate. I’m sure some will be confirmed, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s pushback on someone like Gaetz. You’d love to see the republicans fight amongst themselves, not too dissimilar from when they struggled with their votes for speaker of the house. I hope I’m not being naive in my thinking.

Once again, I have embarrassed myself

Is this the right thread for this? I got an email today from the list advertising a “very limited” number of Chemtrail jackets: I don’t care for the design, the font doesn’t even give LDR vibes, but maybe someone will be interested.
