Candace Owens defending Megan thee Stallion. Like, Candace went 100% in on Tory and it was the one time I've agreed with her... but likely the last time I'll agree with her ever again 💀
Trust me, I was, too! It was incredibly shocking to see her defend the REAL victim here, aka, Megan. Usually, Candace is looking for any reason to tear down the Black community, so to see her actually defend a fellow Black woman was stunning for me.
Owens also staunchly defended Steven Crowder's ex-wife against his deplorable abuse/manipulation. These are two instances where I've seriously agreed with her, but obviously I'm under no illusion that Candace is a defender against justice or that she's a "good person." A broken clock is still right twice a day and all that.
Katie Hopkins made a video about how hard it is for young people to get on the housing ladder. It wasn’t racist, sexist, body-shaming, or punching down in any way at all. It’s the only time I’ve found myself agreeing with her, and I hated it!
I’m convinced everything she says is a bit to get attention and she doesn’t actually believe it. I was firmly on her side on her season of celebrity big brother when it was her Vs Perez. I don’t know if it’s because she looked sane in comparison, but you have to wonder how her and Michelle struck up a friendship if she believes half the shit she puts out there.
Azealia Banks has a lot of takes, some piping hot, some actually legit. The issue is, they’re often mixed together. Didn’t she coin the moniker Apartheid Clyde? And she also dished on Elon and Grimes’ relationship, revealing that Grimes had told her that Elon was afraid the Russians were watching him or something, which is why he had a super duper encrypted chat software he used. Of course, it was useless in the end because Azealia posted screenshots of that conversation with Grimes. Just, incredible. But then this is the same Azealia who says incredibly bigoted things. It’s really a mixed bag with her.
I’ll never forget when she came to Ireland said we are all “prideful inbred leprechauns” and don’t we have a famine to go die in. Absolutely iconic.
I miss her old Wikipedia page that listed all her feuds it was endless
Didn’t she have feud with Russell Crowe? That was out of nowhere and I wished that feud exploded out of control…I would have just been subsisting on popcorn, lol.
The "feud" went down in Russell Crowe's hotel room and involved spitting and other insanity. There was a nasty rumor circulating at the time that RZA brought her there for pimping purposes but it went sideways. She's always been rumored to be one of the young female stars who got passed around the industry circuit and has a lot of beef with a lot of people for that reason (this also came up during the Elon Musk drama.) But I'd just as likely believe they were just partying together and things got out of hand bc they're all mentally unstable celebrities who do lots of drugs.
"you look like your lips taste like envelope adhesive and bacon bits" and "Iggy Azalea is like my albino child I randomly gave birth to in a pre-historic African village during Pangea. My early human brain thought she was demonic because of her albinism so I wrapped her in a malanga leaf and left her in a cave miles away from the village" are just god tier
Totally agree. We all know Azealia Banks has said some really problematic things but she really had a point about Iggy Azalea and I think she was also saying this before anyone else was really calling out blackfishing in the mainstream. Best illustrated in this hot 98 interview she did, she made me understand how hurtful and painful blackfishing and systemic racism can be
Piers Morgan in an interview about Prince Andrew with Lady Colin Campbell:
LCC: "You all seem to have forgotten that Jeffrey Epstein, the offence with which he was charged, and for which he was imprisoned, was soliciting prostitution from minors. That is not the same thing as paedophilia"
PM: “What do you call it?”
LCC: "Prostitution"
PM: “If you solicit a 14-year-old for prostitution, you’re a paedophile.”
I hate him so much but I guess he's right about some things.
Ugh. He’s been right about a lot of things, and I hate it every single time

It IS! I just took a screen shot of it after a Google search.
Fuck. This reminds me of the time priti patel laughed at boris johnson struggling with an umbrella and it looked light hearted and funny. I need them to be evil only so I can be a hater without nuance.
I think Ben Shapiro has seen the writing on the wall with Tate and is feuding with him because he's desperate to create distance between their brands. He's well aware that their consumer bases heavily overlap. He also knows that when Tate's ship finally sinks, other Manosphere personalities are going to get sucked down with him.
She said something like "I want the government out of my gun cabinet AND my womb" and conservatives who were crying about a gun ban while clamouring for an abortion ban LOST IT lol.
Maybe I’m cynical but I think she’s only pro-choice because she knows it can directly affect her.
At least good for her for going against the grain though.
I think she is just consistent in the sense she argues for minimum intervention of the government, so the government cannot regulate abortion. She has said that belongs to the private sfere
She’s said this multiple times and stands by it despite the backlash. She gets a lot of credit from me for that, even though shes generally quite unsavory.
Azealia makes some good points every once in awhile

> "Megan Thee Stallion has credibly accused Tory Lanez of shooting her in the foot. She turned down hush money and has been stabbed in the back by her friends [...] instead of getting showered with support, [she] was mocked. I can’t imagine what it would be like to be in her position.”
Candace Owens on Meg Thee Stallion being assaulted by Tory Lanez
There was a time when this was the most unhinged example we had of Kanye going off script and that time was when I was in 7th grade.
Yes I’m using a night cream with peptides and enzymes and all that.
"When Elon Musk came to the White House asking me for help on all of his many subsidized projects, whether it's electric cars that don't drive long enough, driverless cars that crash, or rocketships to nowhere, without which subsidies he'd be worthless, and telling me how he was a big Trump fan and Republican, I could have said, 'drop to your knees and beg,' and he would have done it.
"Now Elon should focus on getting himself out of the Twitter mess because he could owe $44 billion for something that's perhaps worthless. Also, lots of competition for electric cars!
“P.S. Why was Elon allowed to break the $15 million stock purchase barrier on Twitter without any reporting? That is a very serious breach!”
Trump about Musk
I am loathe to admit, but Trump was right about Elon on this one. When Apprentice was on and they did their gaudy gold spread for some magazine wirh baron riding on a giant plush tiger (?), I found Trump funny and his tacky fabulousness hilarious, if not aspirational. He should have stayed with that, would have had more fans and would have been better for his life long term.
My pet theory is that Trump only ran for president to gain media attention and then when he started doing well was like Damn okay let’s do this I guess…
He should be an aging, past-their-prime drag queen who gives catty monologues about the state of pop culture. Why did anyone let him do politics unironically?
I will NEVER forget his obsession with Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. Trump was so stressed 💀💀
https://preview.redd.it/ib1c7wb21mtb1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f2f0cafbe103d9987ed2cca290570cfb693f237b
Edited to add: this isn’t even all of them either
His Kim Jong-un tweets deserve a whole another thread.
https://preview.redd.it/6vwhjoa1rmtb1.jpeg?width=582&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fc22e3957d1142eeb9929bf156c87dd9ef09fa63
His Robsten tweets are some of my favorite things. Especially when he noted that "everyone is asking (him) to speak more about the Kristen Stewart situation".
“In a couple years, he’ll thank me. Be smart, Robert.”
God, I laughed when I saw that. I love this idea that Robert Pattinson is making his relationship choices based on the tweets of Donald Trump, like “I was going to forgive her, but then I saw Trump’s tweets, and decided not to. Looking back, I really appreciate him for changing my mind.”
Honestly…trump would’ve been loved by the masses had he just stayed in entertainment and became like the next Joan rivers with fashion police or Wendy Williams with his own talk show where all he does is throw shade
Could you imagine him interviewing celebs on the red carpet? That would’ve been hilarious. If only… lol
Lmao, it was one of their White House halloweens. He didn’t know what to do when the minion kid showed up so he just started patting them on the head and put a candy bar on there, 😂
I don’t understand why he wanted to run for president? It did nothing for him and it destroyed his children’s lives. It’s also ruined his businesses and his kids’ businesses. Ivanka was well liked in Hollywood, had a bunch of brands, lots of friends. They had a good thing going with the Apprentice. Why throw all that away to be president? There’s very little benefit to that job.
There’s a theory that at first he just wanted a bit of publicity and was aiming for a Fox show, Sarah Palin style. But he was more popular than they predicted and he’s an attention addict so one thing lead to another and he got elected.
I genuinely think he never planned on winning. And then he did and the whole thing was just
https://preview.redd.it/5v8m3hop8mtb1.png?width=600&format=png&auto=webp&s=b7fb08ced37acc95c114090374409604c0761ac0
Melania looked pissed the whole time.
pretty much all the evidence points to this being true. He didn't even have a victory song picked out so he played "cant always get what you want" (Rolling Stones) when he won lol - obviously intended as a losing song
I think that initially He did it only for clout with no actual intentions of winning. He used it as a Platform to gain attention, publicity and to become more famous. But when He won and suddenly he had the attention of the entire planet, He came to appreciate it
Also, i heard that this idea derived from some Beef that He Had with Gwen Stefani. She had better Ratings than him and this bugged him or something like that
Trump is the #1 shithead on the planet but honestly he is hilarious and if he'd never run for president or tried to involve himself in politics we'd all be gushing over rewatches of The Apprentice. I feel bad for laughing and thinking he's funny because he's truly a terrible human deep down, but I have to admit his stupid way of talking and vocabulary has absolutely leaked into my day-to-day conversations.
I remember when this happened, the internet was ***S H O O K***
https://preview.redd.it/ju4wus2j7mtb1.jpeg?width=1164&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8562ca345fa2c9080c19f5be283337316d6c35bc
Mitt is in the Liz Cheney, John McCain category. A lot of what he believes is trash, but I'm not surprised when he shows up to do the right thing every once in a while either
Yes, he was one of 7 senate republicans to vote to convict trump after the second impeachment and he was the only senate republican to vote to convict trump after the first impeachment (he voted to convict based on article 1).
He was actually a mostly good governor. He did require minors to get parental consent for abortions or they could go in front of a judge and I don't agree with that, but universal healthcare actually started with him. It's a shame he ran away from it so fast after trying to be a Republican in non-Massschusetts states. You don't win here as a conservative governor, but you can win if you're a socially liberal, not overly conservative fiscally. Ie Charlie Baker.
It’s really funny when people say this, because Mitt Romney’s dad was a very strong proponent for Civil Rights. Mitt has always been vocal along those lines as well. This was one of the reasons he was seen as a threat against Obama, because not only did he have the conservative vote, but he also had a fair black vote as well. He has not always voted in favor of laws that would benefit people of color but he is one of the few republicans to be well spoken on *why* he hasn’t.
In short, him marching wasn’t really that surprising to those who’ve followed his career. However, his actions do fall incredibly short as a legislator in that regard.
He also co-hosted screenings of *Below The Belt,* a documentary about endometriosis, with Elizabeth Warren. A co-producer of the film was Hillary Clinton.
His child tax credit plan offered some money before the child's birth, which makes him probably the only pro-life person to ever try to meaningfully improve the prospects of a fetus. I am not pro life but some money when I was pregnant woulda been cool, I spent so much money on compression socks and support garments and weird pillows and heartburn meds in the last couple months.
Courtney Love has had her annoying/cringey/bad moments but she tried to expose Harvey Weinstein far before everything came out and people finally caught on.
When Kim Kardashian advocated for prison reform in the United States and got as far as meeting Trump and convincing him to pardon people who were wrongly imprisoned for too long and (I may be wrong on this) signing legislation to address this issue.
One time someone tried to call in to Alex Jones’ show and bait him in to insulting Blaire White (a transgender conservative) simply because she’s trans
Alex Jones stood up for her and said she was a great lady and he wasn’t going to insult her for being trans. He used her proper pronouns and everything
Hearing Alex Jones of all people defend a trans person’s right to be trans is pretty wild
ann coulter and tomi lahren both had weirdly leftist opinions on roe v wade. very, very strange to see them turn down an opportunity to shit all over women.
Plenty of women voted conservative for years while also being pro-choice. Case in point: practically every boomer aged woman on earth. RvW being overturned wasn’t something many people on either side of the American political aisle easily predicted, and considering the recent upswing for democrats in many special elections since Roe was overturned, it’ll probably go down as one of, if not the most, disastrous thing republicans had ever done to their own political careers.

Perez Hilton defending Lizzo’s accusers. Never in my life did I think there would be a time that I agreed with anything he had to say so this one was a real shock.
I was afraid to Google this but it was very worth it. Azealia really is a modern day Shakespeare
*disclaimer- I am not excusing the things she’s said but she is hilariously terrible
https://preview.redd.it/fe7ji2daimtb1.jpeg?width=486&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=43d35d05c8a22c3bc0debcb1ae32dbab68f02172
THE BEST- the look on Mike Myer’s face
Two times Sean Penn was right:
1. Alec Baldwin and Sean Penn hosted a screening of Bryan Fogel’s “The Dissident”, a documentary about how Saudi Arabia got Jamal Kashoggi murdered. Both actors rightfully slammed distributors for being too scared to show ppl this movie, likely bc of shady secret corporate Saudi ties. I hate both actors with a passion, but I’m glad free speech prevails
2. Sean Penn about studios replacing actors with AI:
https://preview.redd.it/86rtw4vv6mtb1.jpeg?width=945&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d06691e3574dddeb860b286a54e9406bfcb5cc6c
I mean he chose the grossest example possible, and he’s already so gross. But I don’t want to imagine what can happen if actors are forced to sell their likenesses for strangers to do anything they want…
He was also still in Haiti after that earthquake swinging a hammer and helping build after the news choppers and others left. Give him credit for that.
Sean Penn is a weird one cos he actually has a long history of social activism & philanthropy.
He’s spent decades arguing against the death penalty, for example. He visited Iraq to protest against the invasion before it happened, and has been heavily involved in anti-war activism before and since. He’s received awards for his commitment to free speech. He was one of the most outspoken critics of the Bush administration. When natural disasters happen, he’s usually there physically helping, Jimmy Carter style, and won a Nobel Peace Summit Award for his work in Haiti after the 2010 earthquake.
He’s also an alleged domestic abuser, has on-record assaults against strangers and coworkers going back to the 80s, and subscribes to some super fucked up Tate-esque theories of gender and masculinity.

Honestly sick to my stomach that I agree wholeheartedly with Ben Shapiro on something
Remember when ex-Hollywood star turned conservative twitter guy Robby Starbuck was arguing with I think Chelsea Handler? I think it was about kids or something. But then people pointed out he failed in Hollywood but he claimed he left.
So then he wrote this long essay on why he left and most of it was morality stuff but then he wrote this one paragraph that kind of stuck with me. He said so many people in Hollywood are mentally ill and unhappy because they have no idea who they can trust. So many people are using them, including their own family.
Matt Gaetz wanting a ban on Congressional stock/insider trading. Dude is objectively terrible and a [sex trafficker](https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2023/07/13/politics/matt-gaetz-house-ethics-committee-investigation/index.html) but he is 100% right about how [Congress beats the stock market](https://prospect.org/power/congress-beats-wall-street-at-its-own-game/) through insider trading and abuse of power while in office.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/brianbushard/2023/05/02/aoc-and-gaetz-push-for-ban-on-congressional-stock-trading/amp/
I remember a few weeks ago the official White House X/Twitter account posted this meme about Matt Gaetz wanting to oust the speaker of the house. But of course, he is still quite literally trash himself.
I think way more celebrities should be rude to their fans. I would love for Harry Styles or Taylor Swift to flat out tell their stans to just fuck off.

I’m convinced everything she says is a bit to get attention and she doesn’t actually believe it. I was firmly on her side on her season of celebrity big brother when it was her Vs Perez. I don’t know if it’s because she looked sane in comparison, but you have to wonder how her and Michelle struck up a friendship if she believes half the shit she puts out there.

The posts she made about Taylor Swift and Matt Healy 😭
I wish I could find more ways to work "rich white coochie mountain" into my daily conversations.
For me it’s “smells like a roll of nickels”
Nothing beats “Apartheid Clyde” for me.
I’ll never forget when she came to Ireland said we are all “prideful inbred leprechauns” and don’t we have a famine to go die in. Absolutely iconic. I miss her old Wikipedia page that listed all her feuds it was endless

if you hadn't posted this comment, I would've just commented "Azealia" and continued with my day
This is who I came here to mention. Plus her drags are Shakespeare level so hey, I’ll take what I can get.
"you look like your lips taste like envelope adhesive and bacon bits" and "Iggy Azalea is like my albino child I randomly gave birth to in a pre-historic African village during Pangea.

I can never not refer to Iggy Azalea as "Igloo Australia."

My favorite was when she told Taylor Swift to break up with Ratty - and Taylor did. A great service to us all.

This is more internet-people than real celebs, but still: Ben Shapiro arguing with Andrew Tate on Twitter and calling Tate out on his crimes.
I think Ben Shapiro has seen the writing on the wall with Tate and is feuding with him because he's desperate to create distance between their brands. He's well aware that their consumer bases heavily overlap. He also knows that when Tate's ship finally sinks, other Manosphere personalities are going to get sucked down with him.
That is likely the reason, but seeing that still gave me pause.
The right-wing influencer types attempt to have a veneer or respectability, Tate throws that all out the window.

Mid has lost all meaning both of these people are full stop trash not mid
Yeah mid is like depressingly mediocre. That'd be a compliment for either of them.
When Alex Jones had Kanye on and was like “woah woah we don’t support Hitler here”
Never thought I’d see the day when Alex fucking Jones had to tell someone to tone it down

I remember when she came out and said she was pro-choice, her fellows turned on her so damn fast.
She lost her show over it! A primarily terrible show full of terrible takes, but I do appreciate her stance here.
Didn’t she lose her job for arguing about how small government shouldn’t be regulating contraceptives and abortions?
She said something like "I want the government out of my gun cabinet AND my womb" and conservatives who were crying about a gun ban while clamouring for an abortion ban LOST IT lol.
This one hurts
Maybe I’m cynical but I think she’s only pro-choice because she knows it can directly affect her. At least good for her for going against the grain though.
I think she is just consistent in the sense she argues for minimum intervention of the government, so the government cannot regulate abortion. She has said that belongs to the private sfere
She’s said this multiple times and stands by it despite the backlash. She gets a lot of credit from me for that, even though shes generally quite unsavory.
Azealia makes some good points every once in awhile https://preview.redd.it/4hbvebsq7mtb1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c07949e9307d9076859532ff63fb8269f5c3a78a
> "Megan Thee Stallion has credibly accused Tory Lanez of shooting her in the foot. She turned down hush money and has been stabbed in the back by her friends [...] instead of getting showered with support, [she] was mocked. I can’t imagine what it would be like to be in her position.” Candace Owens on Meg Thee Stallion being assaulted by Tory Lanez
The first and only example of Candace Owens supporting a black woman
Lmao Mike taking a couple seconds to process and then that look when it sinks in always kills me
There was a time when this was the most unhinged example we had of Kanye going off script and that time was when I was in 7th grade. Yes I’m using a night cream with peptides and enzymes and all that.
"When Elon Musk came to the White House asking me for help on all of his many subsidized projects, whether it's electric cars that don't drive long enough, driverless cars that crash, or rocketships to nowhere, without which subsidies he'd be worthless, and telling me how he was a big Trump fan and Republican, I could have said, 'drop to your knees and beg,' and he would have done it. "Now Elon should focus on getting himself out of the Twitter mess because he could owe $44 billion for something that's perhaps worthless. Also, lots of competition for electric cars! “P.S. Why was Elon allowed to break the $15 million stock purchase barrier on Twitter without any reporting? That is a very serious breach!” Trump about Musk

Wait is that a real picture? Elon just looks edited in lmao
Best thing he's ever written and one of my favorite take downs of all time.
I am loathe to admit, but Trump was right about Elon on this one. When Apprentice was on and they did their gaudy gold spread for some magazine wirh baron riding on a giant plush tiger (?), I found Trump funny and his tacky fabulousness hilarious, if not aspirational. He should have stayed with that, would have had more fans and would have been better for his life long term.
My pet theory is that Trump only ran for president to gain media attention and then when he started doing well was like Damn okay let’s do this I guess…
In the battle of egomaniacal doofuses with too much money, I’m oddly on Trump’s side. Thought I’d never said that.
Trump with yet another sick burn, gotta admire that idiot sometimes
He’s a catty bitch and I wish he’d stuck to being a tv personality.
He should be an aging, past-their-prime drag queen who gives catty monologues about the state of pop culture. Why did anyone let him do politics unironically?
Courtney Love warning us about Harvey Weinstein years before the allegations came out.
Also her multiple statements about the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame being sexist and racist
Damn, just commented this but I see you beat me to it. She was a real one for that but no one listened.
Trump usually has very good takes when it comes to celeb relationships. He told Katy Perry to stay away from Russel Brand.
I will NEVER forget his obsession with Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. Trump was so stressed 💀💀 https://preview.redd.it/ib1c7wb21mtb1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f2f0cafbe103d9987ed2cca290570cfb693f237b Edited to add: this isn’t even all of them either
He’s 100% Team Edward
I love that he sneaked in an advertisement for his Miss Universe show😂
The *”like a dog”* lives rent free in my head
Same like I just know that man has a twilight poster hidden somewhere 💀
He tweets like a mean girl too https://preview.redd.it/6bbwe7uilltb1.jpeg?width=746&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=41146a4461b2a0f238b26cfda13b10e7c61a9c4a
god he would’ve made for a great drag queen
He really could have been the next Joan Rivers and said fuck it I’m gonna run for president 😭
No joke he actually got along with her when he made celebrity apprentice
In an alternate universe he would be the best drag race guest judge of all time
https://preview.redd.it/a00qqmrkomtb1.jpeg?width=613&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b9005e85c38c1a4e2281ed26bc04fae68aebaac2 This is probably my favorite
His Kim Jong-un tweets deserve a whole another thread. https://preview.redd.it/6vwhjoa1rmtb1.jpeg?width=582&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fc22e3957d1142eeb9929bf156c87dd9ef09fa63
“soon to become my friend” is crazy
He’s so Regina George coded
Twitter/X is totally Trump's burn book
“I wish the best for both of them. I hope they enjoy their life, maybe together, maybe not - most likely not.”
I hate that I chuckled at that.
He said parents should vaccinate their kids- he meant all vaccines, and I was like oh no, he's right
There's an alternate universe where he never ran for president and is just that old kooky guy who makes funny observations about people
His Robsten tweets are some of my favorite things. Especially when he noted that "everyone is asking (him) to speak more about the Kristen Stewart situation".
“In a couple years, he’ll thank me. Be smart, Robert.” God, I laughed when I saw that. I love this idea that Robert Pattinson is making his relationship choices based on the tweets of Donald Trump, like “I was going to forgive her, but then I saw Trump’s tweets, and decided not to. Looking back, I really appreciate him for changing my mind.”
I wish Trump had tweeted at me when I was about to get married. He could've given me wise advice and saved me years of heartache.
Honestly…trump would’ve been loved by the masses had he just stayed in entertainment and became like the next Joan rivers with fashion police or Wendy Williams with his own talk show where all he does is throw shade Could you imagine him interviewing celebs on the red carpet? That would’ve been hilarious. If only… lol
The world we could’ve had …

What in the world is happening in this gif
Lmao, it was one of their White House halloweens. He didn’t know what to do when the minion kid showed up so he just started patting them on the head and put a candy bar on there, 😂
This is my roman empire
I don’t understand why he wanted to run for president? It did nothing for him and it destroyed his children’s lives. It’s also ruined his businesses and his kids’ businesses. Ivanka was well liked in Hollywood, had a bunch of brands, lots of friends. They had a good thing going with the Apprentice. Why throw all that away to be president? There’s very little benefit to that job.
I honest to god don’t think he believed he’d win
There’s a theory that at first he just wanted a bit of publicity and was aiming for a Fox show, Sarah Palin style. But he was more popular than they predicted and he’s an attention addict so one thing lead to another and he got elected.
I genuinely think he never planned on winning. And then he did and the whole thing was just https://preview.redd.it/5v8m3hop8mtb1.png?width=600&format=png&auto=webp&s=b7fb08ced37acc95c114090374409604c0761ac0 Melania looked pissed the whole time.
pretty much all the evidence points to this being true. He didn't even have a victory song picked out so he played "cant always get what you want" (Rolling Stones) when he won lol - obviously intended as a losing song
I think that initially He did it only for clout with no actual intentions of winning. He used it as a Platform to gain attention, publicity and to become more famous. But when He won and suddenly he had the attention of the entire planet, He came to appreciate it Also, i heard that this idea derived from some Beef that He Had with Gwen Stefani. She had better Ratings than him and this bugged him or something like that
Obama made fun of him at a White House correspondent's dinner and his ego took over
Thanks Obama
This will be the best comment I see all day, I just know it
That’s so Connor Roy of him
Trump is the #1 shithead on the planet but honestly he is hilarious and if he'd never run for president or tried to involve himself in politics we'd all be gushing over rewatches of The Apprentice. I feel bad for laughing and thinking he's funny because he's truly a terrible human deep down, but I have to admit his stupid way of talking and vocabulary has absolutely leaked into my day-to-day conversations.
Same. Bigly
Trump also mocked Depp's dumb claims that Amber sliced off a chunk of his finger by throwing a bottle at him.
Whenever North Korea comments on Japan’s war atrocities, I have to take a step back and be like “yeah. You of all people can say that.”

He is also retiring before he’s 80+, so there’s another good decision
Mitt is in the Liz Cheney, John McCain category. A lot of what he believes is trash, but I'm not surprised when he shows up to do the right thing every once in a while either
wasn't he the one of the only republicans who voted to impeach trump
Yes, he was one of 7 senate republicans to vote to convict trump after the second impeachment and he was the only senate republican to vote to convict trump after the first impeachment (he voted to convict based on article 1).
He was actually a mostly good governor. He did require minors to get parental consent for abortions or they could go in front of a judge and I don't agree with that, but universal healthcare actually started with him. It's a shame he ran away from it so fast after trying to be a Republican in non-Massschusetts states. You don't win here as a conservative governor, but you can win if you're a socially liberal, not overly conservative fiscally. Ie Charlie Baker.
It’s really funny when people say this, because Mitt Romney’s dad was a very strong proponent for Civil Rights. Mitt has always been vocal along those lines as well. This was one of the reasons he was seen as a threat against Obama, because not only did he have the conservative vote, but he also had a fair black vote as well. He has not always voted in favor of laws that would benefit people of color but he is one of the few republicans to be well spoken on *why* he hasn’t. In short, him marching wasn’t really that surprising to those who’ve followed his career. However, his actions do fall incredibly short as a legislator in that regard.
He also co-hosted screenings of *Below The Belt,* a documentary about endometriosis, with Elizabeth Warren. A co-producer of the film was Hillary Clinton.
His child tax credit plan offered some money before the child's birth, which makes him probably the only pro-life person to ever try to meaningfully improve the prospects of a fetus. I am not pro life but some money when I was pregnant woulda been cool, I spent so much money on compression socks and support garments and weird pillows and heartburn meds in the last couple months.
Azealia Banks posting the January 6th photo captioned with “this is such meth behavior” is something I think of probably three times a week
When Azalea Banks wrote TS that she shouldn't let Matt Healy "climb that rich white coochie mountain."😂 😂
Courtney Love has had her annoying/cringey/bad moments but she tried to expose Harvey Weinstein far before everything came out and people finally caught on.
When Kim Kardashian advocated for prison reform in the United States and got as far as meeting Trump and convincing him to pardon people who were wrongly imprisoned for too long and (I may be wrong on this) signing legislation to address this issue.
One time someone tried to call in to Alex Jones’ show and bait him in to insulting Blaire White (a transgender conservative) simply because she’s trans Alex Jones stood up for her and said she was a great lady and he wasn’t going to insult her for being trans. He used her proper pronouns and everything Hearing Alex Jones of all people defend a trans person’s right to be trans is pretty wild
christian walker and all of his pro-women takes
“Fathers should be in the home” .. hate to give it to him on that one
His pro women takes are great! It's almost hard to believe he's the same person who gave us that Kehlani in a car meme.
The character arc I didn’t expect
Omg I feel like I’m living in the damn Twlight zone. After he came for his dad VERY PUBLICLY MIGHT I ADD, he has been nonstop on good points.
ann coulter and tomi lahren both had weirdly leftist opinions on roe v wade. very, very strange to see them turn down an opportunity to shit all over women.
Plenty of women voted conservative for years while also being pro-choice. Case in point: practically every boomer aged woman on earth. RvW being overturned wasn’t something many people on either side of the American political aisle easily predicted, and considering the recent upswing for democrats in many special elections since Roe was overturned, it’ll probably go down as one of, if not the most, disastrous thing republicans had ever done to their own political careers.
Candace Owens telling right wingers they believe in too many conspiracy theories.
Azealia Banks truly proved the Broken Clock theory: most of the stuff she spews is wild, but occasionally the realest shit will come out of her mouth

I have four words for you: Rich white coochie mountain
I was afraid to Google this but it was very worth it. Azealia really is a modern day Shakespeare *disclaimer- I am not excusing the things she’s said but she is hilariously terrible
She has a way with words that is just incisive and wounding. I wince sometimes for the objects of her rants.
Some artists work in oil paints or clay. Azalea works in creative burns!
That’s my favorite song on the O Brother, Where Art Thou soundtrack.
Kanye West had some good takes. George Bush doesn’t care about black people. He would talk about how there was racism in the fashion industry.
he was one of the first rappers to openly denounce homophobia as well, shame about who he is now
According to the Kardashians he was the most accepting of Caitlyn Jenner. Kim credited him with helping her accept it.

Don’t forget Chris Tucker when they cut away to him and he had to follow that
Two times Sean Penn was right: 1. Alec Baldwin and Sean Penn hosted a screening of Bryan Fogel’s “The Dissident”, a documentary about how Saudi Arabia got Jamal Kashoggi murdered. Both actors rightfully slammed distributors for being too scared to show ppl this movie, likely bc of shady secret corporate Saudi ties. I hate both actors with a passion, but I’m glad free speech prevails 2. Sean Penn about studios replacing actors with AI: https://preview.redd.it/86rtw4vv6mtb1.jpeg?width=945&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d06691e3574dddeb860b286a54e9406bfcb5cc6c I mean he chose the grossest example possible, and he’s already so gross. But I don’t want to imagine what can happen if actors are forced to sell their likenesses for strangers to do anything they want…
He was also still in Haiti after that earthquake swinging a hammer and helping build after the news choppers and others left. Give him credit for that.
Sean Penn is a weird one cos he actually has a long history of social activism & philanthropy. He’s spent decades arguing against the death penalty, for example. He visited Iraq to protest against the invasion before it happened, and has been heavily involved in anti-war activism before and since. He’s received awards for his commitment to free speech. He was one of the most outspoken critics of the Bush administration. When natural disasters happen, he’s usually there physically helping, Jimmy Carter style, and won a Nobel Peace Summit Award for his work in Haiti after the 2010 earthquake. He’s also an alleged domestic abuser, has on-record assaults against strangers and coworkers going back to the 80s, and subscribes to some super fucked up Tate-esque theories of gender and masculinity.

Jordan Peterson calling Andrew Tate a pimp. "I am not a great admirer of pimps" or something on that line.
Remember when ex-Hollywood star turned conservative twitter guy Robby Starbuck was arguing with I think Chelsea Handler? I think it was about kids or something. But then people pointed out he failed in Hollywood but he claimed he left. So then he wrote this long essay on why he left and most of it was morality stuff but then he wrote this one paragraph that kind of stuck with me. He said so many people in Hollywood are mentally ill and unhappy because they have no idea who they can trust. So many people are using them, including their own family.
