It was shit a year ago too. Neither side has shit to offer. I have to choose between AOCs insufferable hysteria, Trumps bravado or Kamala’s absolute retarded rhetoric.

Our politicians do nothing and congress is fucking worthless.

Trumps policies go into effect next year. This is the time that shine. Then the midterms and then everything will lock up again most likely.

The Dems offer nothing except hysteria and hypocrisy while the MAGAs represent abrupt harsh intervention back to old policies.

Who do you side with? The guy from 3 generations ago or the freak shows that think changing your gender is like changing your outfit and the government needs to take care of them?

I guess I don't know what this means. What will change? Haven't been there in at last a decade.

The comedians can rage all they want. It's just too bad that so much of Colbert's comedy routine was based on politics in general. And it's not even remotely balanced. If a comedian makes fun of both sides, then that's a bit different.

Kimmel and Colbert seem to have personal vendettas and scores to settle. I was a huge Colbert fan once upon a time. I thought 'A Colbert Christmas' was a great of making fun of both sides a bit but ending on a unifying note. He lost that part of him. I don't know why. He became indignant and righteous. Now that he's receiving the harshest of consequences, he's trying to play victim. I can only imagine that he was warned many times before they got to this point. He's just another 'accountability' for you but not for me.

It is a bit ironic that these same people are boycotting Disney. They spent the last decade being one of the most woke organizations in the country. Turn on ESPN (I think they're affiliated with  Disney somehow) and you'll see it on full display. It's total substanceless trash. I won't miss any of it.

That’s quite a brilliant insight. They weren’t replaced.

You know when i checked out of pop culture musics wise? (For the most part)

It was 1996…there was a seismic shift in how things were done. It was the beof synchronized dancing and boy/girl groups. I was 14 and already knew it was over. GnR officially breaks up and slutty teen age girls were peddling jail bait. Then in 1997 a feminine straight men and gay guys were teaming up to also dance in synchronization. The singing was either lip synched or heavily enhanced my electronics. The appeal was in their matching outfits and cheesy dancing.

And from there…i slowly checked out. And i was only 14. I didn’t know it at the time…but it was a seismic shift in pop culture from which I’d never recovered.

Remember Maroon 5? A group of corporate executives focus grouped the shot out of them and created a ‘create a band’ mode like it was a video game.

Now? Pop culture in music is men singing in high falsetto voices whining and women mostly naked in thinly vailed stripper routines that oddly appeals mostly to other women.

I never thought the 80s culture would ever come back (at least not since becoming an adult) but it was still comforting to know that the culture was still alive in a small way. I’ll have nothing left in the way of connecting to mainstream culture soon.

In Chicago, we just lost Ryne Sandberg. Just make it stop even if only for a little bit.
