people call the Democrats spineless.
But idk, it takes some real courage to raise your middle finger to every American and give the dictator anything and everything.
You have to hope people arent paying attention and feel totally protected from political consequences.

After looking thru this thread, I have to wonder if the whole trad female stereotype actually came from Bugs Bunny imagery.
Oh no, we can't loose the strict adherence to traditional ideas of gender and sexuality that the Looney Tunes cartoons were so famous for.

Maybe in Season 3, Stranger Things still had the juice yo make absurd delays between tranches of content.
But I'm not sure by 5 there is the interest, even among remaining fans like myself. Its just irritating at this point.
I may be wrong.

Considering rewatching all of Stranger Things before the new year because I hate being on time for things, which they're spoiling by making the whole release a three phase bit of fuckery

Trump should’ve been impeached and removed for 1000 different things he’s done this term. Just because it doesn’t happen doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t be holding everyone who failed to remove him accountable for their complicity

With zero knowledge of the background or motive, the right screams that Muslims are terrorists and must be deported.
