That's Montgomery Clift, Honey

Fuuuuck

Excellent thread. I had the misfortune to work with an extremely narcissistic boss for several years and the shit he pulled still makes me shake my head a decade later. Another aspect of this is that narcissism is also endemic in far-left circles so we get it from both sides.

Holy shit.

Watching a PBS "Frontline" account of Mossad finding a warehouse of Iran's old nuclear data that stopped in 2003 and Bibi doing a massive, Colin Powell-at-the-UN style presentation to convince Trump and other Middle East allies Iran wasn't following the nuclear deal they made in 2015.

I grew up in the East Bay and our folks would take us to the city to eat occasionally. We saw him twice, went back a few more times but no luck. He was very nice about it, autographs weren't an industry yet.

Here's one I bet you're not expecting...

Not degenerate just masochistic.

Chris would you still say he's to Hillary's left on a bunch of issues?

How stupid are these people? The guy who told over 30k documented lies in his first term and was running to stay out of jail would certainly never lie on the campaign trail, amirite? 🙄

Sure. Even in Nazi Germany there were undoubtedly good people who just kept their heads down to survive. Just like we want people around the world now to understand that most of us in the USA don't support Trump and his monstrous acts.

AFAICT nearly all of the "Israel bad" left also firmly believes "Hamas good" and therefore "October 7 justified." It's a constellation of beliefs but most are too timid to say the second and third things out loud.

LOL, I'm not defending corporations you fucking idiot. I'm saying the person stealing loses the moral high ground when they steal, bc you're not really stealing from the corporation, as they make your fellow citizens pay. But you are obviously so brainwashed as to be unreachable, so, shorter: 🖕

Yep. Say the word "marginal" and 2/3 of the electorate won't have any idea what you're talking about.

And that will guarantee Republican election wins for the foreseeable future - which is probably the actual goal.

Who's justifying that? In reality, nobody on this thread. You're mad at a strawman you made up.

Our statistician is Marge N. Oferror.

Large entities negotiating special tax breaks for themselves is one of the surest signs of the rot in our systems.

Economic anxiety is the cover story.

But you could really see the American influence there during the Fukushima disaster. That TEPCO guy was out there lying his ass off every day.

It's been a steady erosion to get to the point we've reached, but the Iraq AUMF is still a thing that happened within living memory.

Shorter you: Saying "I'm a big fan" to a Nazi podcaster is very anti-Nazi ackshually. 🙄 You're a fucking ding-dong in case nobody had mentioned that to you lately.

@ChrisMurphyCT Take note of how far the Republican Party has come off the rails. They are now nominating open Nazi enthusiasts. This guy also excitedly talked on camera about a gun used by the Nazis as the “original ghetto blaster”. Disgusting.

🚨 Hey @chrismurphyct.bsky.social:

Even if you're PERSONALLY OK w/Platner having a Nazi tattoo for 18 yrs w/out grasping its significance even though he claims to be a WWII military history buff, how about considering how much it'd step on Dems larger messaging this fall to have him as the nominee.

Post your favorite Lord of the Rings character. Wrong answers only.

Indeed. Stealing is an act of defiance, it's not at all selfish or greedy, because if it was I'd have to put myself in the same moral category as all the people I rail against.

Yes and he'd grab a burger when your back is turned because fuck that Dave Thomas guy. 🤣

One of the many problems with the thinking of these peabrains is that they argue vociferously against a strawman they've made, that someone objecting to theft is pro-Bezos or whoever. It's madness.

And who ultimately bears the cost of theft? Why, your fellow citizens, that's who! Because the company doesn't gaf, they just pass the cost on. So the argument these 🤡s make that it's not narcissism comes full circle and proves that they are narcissists.

LOL that's a conundrum for a little mind. But these sub-morons will construct whatever fantasies are required to justify their own high regard for themselves.
