Hey, in the 1940s, every man/boy had a suit. And a hat. And they wore it all the time. For everything. Even mowing the lawn!

The Rifftrax of it is really, REALLY good, though.

Right up there with their Street Fighter The Movie.

I'm one of 6 people that actually kinda liked that Bane, and 80% of that movie.

Pocketman...? The man made of pure Pocket?

Is that "Caped Crusader"?

I hope so!

Though unlike 99.99% of the rest of you, pretty sure when I hit the dominion and changeling stuff I'm going to nope out. I have some vague recollection of bits and pieces I caught and people I've talked to about this stuff. I'm guessing that's what you're talking about?

I like the moral wrangling and optimism; with characters I can admire. Not the "darker, grittier" and action-y stuff. But I'll give it a try!

Not all.

And it didn't use to be. Well, as bad, anyway.

Also, democrats and Democrat-aligned seem to be more likely to consider other options, or to call out their leaders. Not always, and probably not even most of the time. But significantly more often.

That's if they exist. Mayors/governors/councils/congress keep shutting down inconvenient oversight wherever possible.

Both things can be true.

...What we've found for the last 10 years or so now is that when it comes to Republican candidates, and especially Trump, reality no longer matters. At all. There are 743,000 things that should have disqualified him for president. That Republicans should have noped out on, said "this is definitely not our guy". They just don't matter. For a number of reasons.

His campaign could be literally a dog shitting on a US flag. And it wouldn't change anything; he would still poll virtually the same. There are almost no actual "undecideds" leaning towards him.

At this point, it's about voter motivation and access. His guys CAN be less motivated to vote, and Harris supporters can definitely be more motivated to vote. That's where we are.

I noticed that she also called him "vice-president Trump" one time and didn't catch it.

But as usual, it's not a "both sides are the same" thing, when she slips up once and he does it 50 times.

Wow, I saw that episode, for the first time, like an hour ago.
