  1. Follow up question should be, "But seriously, if costs increase for manufacturers and retailers, why wouldn't those costs trickle down to consumers?" And based on his answer, I can think of another bag of follow up questions.
  2. I don't give a shit if Quinn and Arch support Trump or not. That's their right, but what I think will be interesting to watch as the new NIL world evolves is whether visible political stances cost people like Quinn and Arch some dough. Orgs like Burnt Ends likely won't care. But businesses driven by profit motive (vs say something like X) want least common denominator, unoffensive pitchmen that do not alienate customers.
  3. Its not about election integrity or truth or informing the public, its about creating enough chaos that the voting system shuts down. Its people phoning in fake fires all around town so the trucks are answering those calls instead of responding to real fires. Then they can point at the fire department and say, "Why didn't you stop the real fires?" Its manipulating reality to fit the view that A) all government run agencies are inherently inept and fatally flawed and B) elections in the US are a sham. I'd like to say I think it is so that the spoiled man-child on the R ticket can avoid having to face that he didn't win something, but I think Trump is largely irrelevant. The goal of the most insidious of the people who "support Trump" is to dismantle the government. Trump is just a useful tool to make progress towards that. Their view of our shared world is more aligned with Timothy McVeigh's or Ted Kaczynski's than my own. That used to depress the fuck out of me, but as it becomes more apparent as to what is going on, I am seeing more people reject it. For every person it energizes and brings in, three are repulsed and driven away. That's taken from the people in my orbit in Colorado and Texas, but I think we are seeing evidence that something like this is the general trend nationally.
  4. Gonna spoil the ending of this National Lampoon Vacation reboot:
  5. She thought she would be Jackie O, but instead she's the Dutchess of the Brain Worms.
  6. I know 3 people who voted for Trump who were considering staying at home or voting for RFK. Now that one of those options was removed, it will be interesting to hear where they are at.
  7. In an honest system, the Kennedy name alone wouldn't have taken a person with worms in their brain so far.
  8. The primary outcome of bringing RFK jr into the MAGA fold will be to make Trump appreciate JD Vance.
  9. Not that expensive, either.
  10. Wanna buy my 1999 Fender American Vintage 1957 spec? I would be willing to make you a Surly friends deal. It’s a killer example of a vintage spec strat. Made in the USA, Nitro, glassy 57/62 pups, etc…. Offer is open to anyone here. This was recorded with it if you want to know what it sounds like. https://on.soundcloud.com/JSTR33oZMewDiygo7
  11. Fuck it, just go motivate Texans who don't vote, win the state and then make the GOP blow part of their legal wad challenging the results there.
  12. He is a dumb malignant narcissist who has had enough money through life to insulate himself from his true identity. Which is — at best — the failed fortunate son of a multi-millionaire and hated by a majority of Americans and a vast majority of the people he wished viewed him as a peer. More and more people are seeing him for what he truly is and are flocking to oppose him, more and more people are speaking out against him, the crowds that used to fuel him are diminishing, all of which further erodes his self-image and leads to him to have to confront the truth of his existence. I believe we are witnessing the disintegration of his identity and psyche.
  13. In 1989 I shot my TV when Lou Holtz was on ESPN bitching and slobbering about Notre Dame not making the national championship. No cameras, no social media. That's how you stupidly and ineffectually protest what you are witnessing, MAGA.
  14. He looks like he just had a crisis on his southern border.
  15. This Mondo Trasho reboot is somehow more bananas than the original.
  16. I have to settle for the Incels for Kama The Wheels on the Bus fall off, off, off off, off, off -- off, off, off The Wheels on the Bus fall off, off, off All round the country
  17. It puts the lotion on its skin or else it gets convicted again.
  18. I'm tempted to report that video. No one wants to see someone getting their throat ripped out by a seagull.
  19. One of Walz’s superpowers is that he can get in the muck and fight while clearly maintaining that he’s only there because of who the opposition is.
