The Onion: Expert explains why, essentially, you’re fucked
Last week’s Friday Night Multimedia Extravaganza can be found here.
The Onion will get more interesting if the judge approves the bid.
Interesting video from an apolitical disinformation analyst picking apart a YouTuber’s commentary on the Military Industrial Complex.

Based on the latest from DDHQ, the Republicans flipped zero (0) House seats in this election.
DDHQ has called 432 races, which means 3 are left. DDHQ has called 213 seats for Democrats, the number they began with, and 219 for Republicans, 1 less than they began with, but as nearly as I can determine they’ll get the 3 remaining seats. In essence, it appears the GOP netted 2 seats from vacancies, but will lose a couple to departures pending special elections.
Meanwhile, Sherrod Brown could get back in Senate by winning a special election for Vance’s seat.
Trump winning the swing states by 1 or 2 percentage points, the GOP flipping zero House seats and 3 or 4 Senate seats in a year when the Senate map favored the GOP, isn’t exactly a red tidal wave.
This tiny margin of voters elected them to fix housing and inflation. They can’t fix housing, and there’s no inflation problem anymore to fix. Trump’s policies, if enacted, will slow housing construction and reignite inflation. That, combined with early signs of gross overreach, e.g. gutting Medicaid and ACA, could make the 2026 midterms quite interesting.
Even Republican sources are saying Gaetz won’t be confirmed, but Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-ND) says Trump “is a savvy guy,” and …
In other words, Trump is throwing Gaetz under the bus for his own purposes, and the dumbass doesn’t even realize he’s being used, and destroyed in the process. I can’t think of a nicer guy for it to happen to. Oh, and by the way, this is how all loyalty to Trump gets rewarded, as a whole new gaggle of sycophants will find out. Working for Trump leads to a dead end for careers and reputations. No one survives being in his proximity; it’s like getting too close to a black hole.
