Anyway, put your leopard-related posts here. Clouded leopard, snow leopard, black panther, whatever so long as it's chowing down on some yummy, surprised faces.

It seemed like the appropriate reaction to the theme of this thread.

Bring on the dinosaurs leopards! I, for one, welcome our new, karmic overlords.

Wait, does this include cougars, too? Or do we need to take those over to the NSFW forum?

Lol, I must be a time traveler, I said that on Monday.

We're running a bit behind. There's a lot of faces to eat!

If a football team goes “fuck the run we’re going to win this with passing only” I’m not blaming the running back for the loss.

If the running back refuses to pass block and lets the rusher come in free, you absolutely blame the running back.

For the sack maybe but for the entire game? Nah that comes down to a dogshit strategy executed poorly.

If the running back continually refuses to pass block, why would you excuse the running back for that?

Because in this case the quarterback was drunk and the linemen kept on falling down on their face.

Doesn't matter. If the running back just quits he doesn't get to say "not my fault" if the other team wins.

With the facts laid out I think the running back gets to. Or at the very least you're a dumbass if you say that it was the running backs fault that the team lost.

You're the one who seems intent on absolving the running back of any blame.

That said, if I were to place blame, first would be Russian/Republican propaganda. Second would be a willfully ignorant and uninformed populace. Third would be Democratic leadership.

Pointing fingers at this point is…uh…pointless. Yes, I’m disappointed and feel that it was very much cutting off one’s nose to spite the face, but now all we can do is regroup and do our best to do something, even if it’s ineffectual and silly like a petition online. Something is better than nothing but fracturing amongst ourselves when we (probably) presumably want the same thing is counterproductive.

Love both you guys and I really dig your passion. I just don’t want animosity to split what should be a unified front.

Yeah because blaming the running back is idiotic. The idea that the left is responsible for Harris losing is a fucking stupid opinion. The left was saying that the Harris campaign strategy was a bad idea.

Disagree on pointing fingers being pointless. After a defeat this fucking catastrophic is when you need to get rid of things holding the party back. To just come together and say “we’ll get em next time champ” is what happened in 2016 and set up the current catastrophe. No now’s the perfect time for recriminations and deciding on who needs to get the fuck out of the drivers seat cause they’re driving off the cliff and their idiocy has been fully exposed.

Second I think you might be overestimating the importance of an argument about a sports metaphor as flawless as the sports metaphor is.

I'd like more Leopards eating the faces of their supporters and less sports metaphores.

Yeah, this isn't why I wanted this thread in the first place. Maybe take this conversation private, guys.

I mean how much content will there be for this thread before Trumps actually president?

We shouldn't be fighting each other when we already know we agree the current situation is a travesty

Eh, i don't know. There's already been a few posts of people regretting voting for Trump.

It's going to be a steady trickle before the flood, I'd assume.

The current posts are more like the "To Be Continued -->" while Yes' "Roundabout" plays--we all know what's about to happen, and we are documenting it here for when people start saying things like, "Who could've seen that coming?"

I find your use of the word "travesty" as a negative deeply offensive.
Pistols at dawn!
Wait, I like to sleep in.
Pistols at noon!
Wait, I don't know how to handle a pistol.
Keyboards at noon!

Today I learned that travesty did not mean what I thought. I thought it to be akin to disaster. A horror. Aka, facepalm nightmare.


I was incorrect in my usage of the word.

Cheers to you owl. I learned something today

Please allow me to rephrase my post:

We should not be infighting and arguing when we already know this situation is a nightmare. We should be banding together to say" I don't like this! This was not my choice." And then, we run because we are obviously outnumbered by the ignorant and the violent. We take on gorilla warfare when we have to but only if we have no choice. We try to speak reason, but we start calm and passive while we can.

... Gorilla warfare?
Are you referring to Planet of the Apes?
If not, you might want to look and learn something more today

Muslim voters in Michigan also had the Democrats put Bill fucking Clinton out there to tell them to fuck off and to remind them that they deserve it for Israel.

What a shit shit campaign.


No fucking wonder they didn't vote democrat in Michigan.

Parading that explicitly piece of shit dinosaur out is almost as bad as having Liz Cheney as your secret weapon.

Democrats running their campaign arrogantly with the "You have to vote for us because the other choice is bad" attitude didn't fucking work in 2016 and sure as shit didn't work in 2024. Maybe it will in 2028.

Yes, Democrats are idiots, that is another thread. This is the schadenfreude "Look at these assholes who regret voting for the criminal liar we all know suck" thread.

Pull it together, people.

"Trump picks fracking company CEO Chris Wright to be Energy Secretary."
I can't wait for the full list now. It's going to be, like, Jack the Ripper as director of Health and Human Services, Jason Voorhies as Education Secretary...how did the speech go, exactly? Wait, I remember...

Tough shit. They’re fucking idiots. The democrats should’ve run a campaign with the understanding that they’re fucking idiots, but that doesn’t change that they are.

Look, I'm all in favor of a discussion about whether the Democratic party should move to the left or the right, whether there should be a third viable party, and how people could/might feel about the campaign they ran, etc etc.
But there's plenty of political discussion threads and it's not illegal to start a new one around here. How about we limit the Leopard Face thread to Leopard Face stories?

Enjoy your let's laugh at minorities thread then.

I don't particularly think only minorities will be featuring here.
They may be the first to feel some of the worst of it, but T's plans to move more wealth to the wealthy and increase tariffs will spike real life inflation hurting millions of non-minorities too.

Yeah... no. The whole point of this is the fact that many stupid, selfish Trump voters thought they'd be "safe" from his policies because they're white/Christian/straight/usually male, and they're going to find out when they lose their health care, environmental protections, VA benefits, public schools, public transportation, social security, cheaper labor, etc., none of that shit will protect them. They voted for "oligarchy" , and oligarchy only benefits the rich. The shittiest part of this is, as usual, minorities are going to get hit first and hardest.

Unfortunately, the way this usually unfolds is that the initial burst of activity is directed at minorities, yes.
Joe Voter: "Ha ha, look at the [insert plural slur here], they got what's coming to them, they should all go back to [place]."
<THREE MONTHS LATER...>
Joe Voter: "What do you mean I can't have [essential service and/or porn] any more? I know my rights!" No, Joe. You see, you thought you were safe because you thought it was only about being [ethnic] when you should've known it was always about being [class/caste].

Huh, like they are surprised rights are non-negotiable.

Trump will be a very fat leopard.

Hey, it could've been Dr Phil.
Or Dr. Nick Riviera.

This is the only thing that will get me through the next 4 years.

His *first* administration, I commented how nearly everyone he picked was some tv celebrity of some sort. Like, if he hadn't seen them on TV, how important could they be?

"Conservatives approaching enlightenment" is such a misleading title.
To be clear, they're not going "whoa these guys are more extreme than we thought", they're more concerned about "these folks might not be competent enough to push through our extreme agenda".
Which might actually be a saving grace from a normal person's perspective.

It's like he's not even listening to what they want him to do.

Holy shit, did you watch the Grey Cup?

Pittsburgh-area Steelworkers union leaders are upset with President-elect Trump for his vow to block the US Steel-Nippon deal. One of them spoke at a Trump rally earlier this year, and he said Tuesday that Trump's statements felt like a "gut punch”

EDIT: I copy/pasted the above from Bluesky but now I can't find the user to attribute it to them.

I mean, trusting a politician to be lying to get votes is probably a pretty safe bet.

True enough.
There's a pretty big belief among Republicans that I've noticed that all of this "rounding up immigrants" will only apply to those not working or in Democratic cities, and not to all of those working under-paid but essential jobs for them.
We'll see.
