On behalf of punk culture, we do not accept this categorization.

Fuck Musk. He is not a punk.

This hump has all the charm of an unwiped asshole.

The enemy of my enemy is my .... Nope. Fuck that guy. Sometimes this just feels like massive theater for the next act of Project 2025. Is something actually going to happen or are they going to keep virtual slap fighting? Noticed it was a daily beast article which they just live for these moments. Don't get me wrong, I hope they all implode.

Just love watching these "adults". Fucking infantile nonsense.

Not me. I’d prefer to go to the cinema for theatre, knowing while I’m there my government and their partners are being ~~productive~~ sane.

Can we just put all conservatives on an island and watch the inevitable cannibalism and destruction of environment until they all go extinct?

I think I’ve read this book

[-] [email protected] 10 points 18 hours ago

I thought this guy melted three years ago.

Jealousy brought him back from the dead to hunt his lover's new bitch.

Orange pile just chews and spits. Stupid people just keep jumping in instead of trying to stop him.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 14 hours ago

They got him hooked up to one of those camping bed inflator things and they half filled him with crushed aluminum cans for shape.

I love referring to him as “Steve Bannon, onetime director of the 1990s experimental ecological project Biosphere 2” and making people do a WTF

[-] [email protected] 36 points 1 day ago

What about "Steve Bannon, WoW Gold Farmer"....

[-] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago

I mean, that sounds pretty on-brand for his whole deal

[-] [email protected] 23 points 1 day ago

That was literally how he piloted and refined weaponising gamers, fandoms, and social media 20 years ago. His WoW and similar social manipulation projects were a major driving force behind GamerGate.

Trump Campaign CEO Once Worked for a World of Warcraft Marketplace

Now I really want to see a mockumentary about this guy with him played by Bruce Campbell.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 21 hours ago

Don't make him likable!

1990s experimental ecological project Biosphere 2

I've never read about this! It cost $200 million and was a failure - the soil microbes used much more oxygen than expected and the resulting carbon dioxide reacted with the concrete walls to make calcium carbonate, so neither the human "crew" nor the plants had enough to breathe.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 14 hours ago

Ngl, the experiment sounds fucking rad.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 16 hours ago

If nothing else, he has a talent for sucking the oxygen from the room.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

He was part of bio-dome starring Pauly Shore? This makes sense.

can we stop paying attention to what Steve Bannon says? he's just a vile piece of shit podcaster.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 21 hours ago

No, it’s important that we stoke the flames of this maga-on-maga conflict.

Because this is far more pushback on Trump’s disastrous bill than anything the Dems will muster, spineless trash that they are.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 23 hours ago

is he worse than elon or tramp? even fuckerberg...

Bannon looks like he couldn't take off the twist-off cap off a beer bottle.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago

Bannon looks like Frank from Shameless

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

So does Musk. It's going to be the bum fight of the year. I hope there'll be video.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

He looks like he twisted off way too many beer bottle caps.

That's the bath salts talking

[-] [email protected] 30 points 1 day ago

Still not convinced this isn't theatre for our consumption, but I'd love to see this happen.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

Remember, Trumps employs the wife of and is personal friend of Vince McMahon, the owner of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).

This does look an awful lot like wrestling drama.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

I challenge you to go back and watch her on-screen role during the late 90s and early 2000s. By all accounts from every shoot video on Youtube, the woman backstage was just like what you saw on screen: Wooden, devoid of charisma, and lacking anything resembling independent thought. Her entire role as CEO of the company was simply to sign off on whatever Vince McMahon did while he touted her as a beacon of progress for having a woman as CEO.

This woman does not possess the intelligence or creativity to come up with such a scheme.

(As a side note: Vince McMahon sold his company to the same people who run UFC, and then was driven out of the company as the result of numerous scandals. He no longer has any ties to WWE, outside of ownership of about 3% of common, non-voting stock.)

Indeed. Trump IS an Entertainer and has been in the showbiz industry for quite some time, so it wouldn't surprise me that this is all just a show and we're being taken for a ride. But he is also an egotistical prick so this might actually be for real. I'm just not going to hold my breath or let myself be distracted by this side-show from the shit the Shitgibbon and his merry band of miscreants are pulling out.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

The only way it could be theater is if all three of them are world class actors who have stayed entirely in character for years.

It's simply far more likely that all three of them are, just ss they appear, thin-skinned, emotionally stunted manchildren, currently engaged in a schoolyard slapfight.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Trump is a world-class actor who has stayed entirely in character for years. I could see the other two playing their parts at Trump and his merry band of miscreants' direction. Remember. They need us to forget about gutting Medicaid (and Medicare), the billionaire tax cuts, the raiding of the public space for loose money so they can fund those tax cuts, and the imposition of a right-wing religious autocracy on us. Don't lose track of that as you enjoy the entertainment this show gives you. That's all I'm saying.

PS: I do agree that they're thin-skinned, emotionally stunted man-children, but they're also conniving bastards, and they want you focused on the drama....

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

… just ss they appear …

This also works.

~~Banning~~ Bannon definitely took notes from Roger Stone. It will be interesting to find out what this particular plan is, eg which part of p 2025 this is advancing (past more fossil fuel dependency, while knowing they're depleted).

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Yep. Don't lose sight of the ball. They're trying to pull a fast one on us.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

They aren't trying, they're succeeding.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Idk man these folks have some pretty wild egos.

I dont think they'd be able to play the parts.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

And that's what they want you to think. They want you to underestimate them and focus on the public shitshow, while they quietly implement Project 2025 while you're distracted by the slapfest they're putting on for you in public.

As I said above. They're a bunch of conniving bastards, and until I start seeing real things like Elon explaining exactly how Clark County in Nevada was stolen from the Left, or Trump actually cancel SpaceX contracts, or Musk abducted by ICE agents and sent to El Salvadore, I'm going to continue thinking this is all a WWE plot designed to distract us from the shitshow going on behind the scenes.

Pay per view death match between Bannon and Musk. Sponsored by the Trump administration of course. If we are going full on, then lets go full on.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

the backlog of "rich douche bag cage fights" is growing faster that i would have anticipated.

time for a reboot of "celebrity deathmatch"?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

This is one evil threesome.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
