    You keep seeing peter thiels name here, right… Weird, huh.

    j.d. vance is thiel’s longtime lap puppy and trump’s new VP pick after trying to have the old one publicly executed.

    thiel is also at PayPal with elon. peter is like the “cool senior” at high school with the upturned collar when elon musk is a freshman. Thiel says to elon one day, “hey Elmo, carry my books to class.” elon enthusiastically complies and while his hands are full, thiel takes all of the blood emeralds out of elon’s pockets, pantses him in front of his crush, and then says, “now say thank you daddy, for letting my little weiner see the sunshine, Elmo” elon complies, pants around his ankles, and then thiel pushes elon over, and drives away with his crush, as they both laugh at elon. Elon then says to himself, “Man, that guy is so cool.” Right as vance is confined as VP pick, Elmo (who said earlier this year that he wouldn’t donate to either trump or biden) just started “donating” $45 million dollars a month to trump in perpetuity.

    Are you starting to see who’s in charge?

    You should learn more about potential shadow president thiel.

      That fuckers names been in my head since I read about DARPAS Projects TIA and Lifelog, his ties to them, and how he helped fund Facebook, right after founding Palintir which makes predictive policing software.

      I feel like a fucking madman even saying that shit, but this guy seems to always be up to something no-good.

    god, ever since I heard Hulk Hogan was a snitch I hated the guy. This just confirms he’s a shit pile.

      Hulk Hogan is a character, terry is just terry.

      Terry is a piece of shit, the hulk is just a charicature they’re hired to speak and the hulk is not actually he’s reading a script they hired him to read.

      It’s very stupid and Terry is also a massive shitstain but let’s be specific about who we’re shitting on and why.

          Doesn’t matter, they didn’t pay Terry to show up they paid hulk Hogan who would say whatever you pay him to say because that’s literally his job.

          It’s a very dumb difference but a legally viable one apparently.

          It’s not like he wasn’t involved. They put themselves at massive liability by publishing his leaked sex tape then refusing to take it down. I can certainly believe thiel had alternative motives, but the fact that he bankrolled the lawsuit isn’t relevant to the merits of the lawsuit.

          Also pretty fucked that they did that after taking such a hard stance against the fappening.

      Oh man, we’re gonna get an Idiocracy world where porn is illegal, not one where you can get a handjob at the Costco Starbucks 😢

      As someone else once said and I am paraphrasing uncredited because I don’t remember who they are: “In the Idiocracy universe, when they discovered a man who was smarter than everyone else, they put him in charge of stuff. That makes it a wiser world than our own”.

      • Despite their struggles, politically and socially, Idiocracy is an utopia. As far as I can remember, people genuinely worked to try to make the world better, even if they were failing at it

        Canada is going to implement the same once Poilievre takes over because Canadians are dumb and “bored” with Trudeau, so they will see what being “bored” gets them. Idiots.

          Unless you elect the followers of the “Queen of Canada” to parliament on the Trucker Convoy Party ticket, you will never get a Prime Minister anywhere near as bad as Trump.

            I mean, I think the digital ID bullshit is pretty bad, but that’s just one thing he’s talked about so far. We’ll see how far he is actually willing to go over the duration of his tenure and what other absolutely insane bullshit he can come up with.

        Camacho wasn’t that bright, and was in over his head, but at least he was smart enough to realize that, and he had the best interests of his people at heart. And when he found somebody who was smarter than him and might actually have solutions to the problems his people faced, he actually listened. Though he did sentence him to “rehabilitation” when the plan initially appeared unsuccessful.

        For that alone, Camacho would be a better president than Trump.

    I don’t know if Brooke was fucking the black guy’s son. I mean, I don’t have double standards. I mean, I am a racist, to a point, fucking n****s. But then when it comes to nice people and shit, and whatever. I guess we’re all a little racist. Fucking n*****.

    – Hulk Hogan, who was taken out of the Wrestling Hall of Fame for three whole years after he was recorded saying that.

    And then Peter Thiel, pissed that Gawker outed him, bankrolled Hogan’s lawsuit which took them down. I remember lots of people on Reddit regarded it as a victory because Gawker sucked, which it did. They didn’t care that a billionaire found a way to destroy a media outlet that told people something about him that he didn’t want them to know.

    Peter Thiel is, of course, also a big Republican supporter.

      I believe Hogan has been known to be a massive piece of shit among wrestling fans for decades now. Some of the stories I’ve read about the dude… Not great.

      Ric Flair might be the only bigger shithead

      Hogan was already a piece of shit for being a racist. He didn’t need to make me dislike him even more by getting into politics, even if his racism made clear which side he was on. Fuck him with a ten foot dick.

        Be nice to that dick. Nobody wants a 10ft dong around, so have some compassion. Let it get creative, at least. I mean, what else is it for, after all?

        I’ve hated Hogan since the 90s, when I found out what a cancer he was backstage at WCW. Didn’t help when I found out he’s the reason wrestlers don’t have a union.

        For a lot of us fans, Hogan has been the devil way before we knew he was a racist POS.

      Kind of a serious thing, for some people, to want quiet. What was the Gawker lawsuit over?

        They released the secret recording of him saying the racist thing above without anyone’s permission. Which is an absolutely shitty thing to do. But Thiel saw it as an in and paid for the best lawyers he could find and took them down.

        Should they have been taken down for it anyway? Maybe. But not because of Peter Thiel.

          I’ve never watched it, but I feel like outing a gay man and revenge porn fall into the “bad action” category, despite them being pieces of shit.

            Maybe, but Thiel didn’t sue them for outing him. He bankrolled someone else’s suit because he knew it would be much more damaging. And that is not how the system should work.
