  1. They're not trying to balance the budget. They're going to raise the debt ceiling instead. And all of these firings are about replacing the entire government with loyalists. The cutting-government-waste business is just a smokescreen.
  2. The people he's talking to don't even know how many a trillion is. He could've said it's gonna raise a Brazilian dollars and they'd be like, "That's a lot!"
  3. Pretty sure what's hiding behind that shit-eating grin is that he wants to make foreign countries fund our government by taking them over and stealing all of their wealth.
  4. Walmart's stock dropped 6.5% amid downward revised sales projections for the rest of the year. I wonder how much money Trump's hedge fund managers have made on options betting against Walmart stock over the last 30-90 days, because they knew the tariff would be real before regular investors did?
  5. I was thinking a Tom Clancy novel, but yeah, that would be too well-written for this administration.
  6. I agree with the first part. The second, I don't know. But this figures to be a huge turning point. Military leaders have to respect the chain of command, but they also cannot obey an illegal order. So, what's it gonna be when the illegal orders are coming from the top of the chain of command? I really don't know how this one will break.
  7. You couldn't imagine that Biden cared more about Ukraine than Trump does? No shit? Trumps cares about exactly three people on the earth, including himself. The others are Junior and the daughter he wants to fuck. Everyone else is a piece on a board for him to manipulate into bringing him money and attention. Yes, some of them are manipulating him in much bigger ways, but from his point of view, no one outside of his little circle matters at all. I don't know what planet you were living on from about 2015 until now where you couldn't figure this out, because he doesn't try to hide it.
  8. Well, he's literally stupid, so.
  9. A very intelligent man getting old and losing his faculties is more respectable than being a painfully stupid, morally bankrupt liar, con man, and rapist for one's entire life. Jesus tapdancing Christ, we're gonna be in an economic depression and World War III soon, and the cult will be yelling, "At least that guy who stuttered isn't in charge anymore."
  10. That's it exactly. He says things with a shrug and an, "I dunno, but that's what they're saying," and people excuse it away as trolling. We love him for telling it like it is, but you can't take him seriously, ya know? Then the soundbite gets repeated over and over, or the image gets shared over and over, and people steadily get desensitized to it. This is part of what they mean by flooding the zone. I'll only be a dictator on day 1, you'll never have to vote again, long live the king, and more to come. And it's going to work. Hell, if they get the bright idea to put unlimited presidential terms to a public vote, they'd win it right now. Yeah, I know that's not how that works, unless they decide that it is. Who's gonna stop them, the Supreme Court? Mike Johnson and friends? So. Turbo. Fucked.
  11. I really hope the NSA is having the conversations that need to be had.
  12. I don't know where to put this, but I just learned that Teslas are now being called Swastikars, and I want to spread that, so here, take it and run free.
  13. And from about 10 to 35 years ago, Republicans would have lost their minds at this comment, because Reagan was the infallible one. Now most of them barely even remember him. It turns out that these people don't actually give a fuck about conservatism, or family values, or small government, or America, or Christianity, or anything else. They just want to be told what to think, then to be told how correct they are for thinking it. And some really bad people realized this fact, played the long game, set up the mother of all icebergs, and now they will loot this Titanic as she sinks.
  14. I mean, their adoration for this guy is full-on religious. They believe whatever he says as if he's infallible. They defend his words in the face of contradictory facts with all the fervor that they defend the Bible in the face of science. This is scary shit. They can do absolutely anything and it will be cheered on.
  15. It's shocking how stupid and gullible most of this country is. The right wingers on Facebook are cheering DOGE on. They have no idea what's actually happening. They believe whatever they're told, and further, those who don't are the idiots. It's completely predictable, yet still astonishing to watch.
  16. Tell your mom she can have one of my eggs.
  17. I fully expect the spin to be that Biden and the Libs stole the jobs like they stole everybody's tax dollars, and DOGE got here just in time to prevent another Great Depression. We'll all take a 25% hit to our 401k's, but it would've been 40% if we hadn't had such a brilliant businessman in office. Those of us fortunate enough to keep our jobs can just work 60 hours a week to keep the GDP up. It'll be our patriotic honor. I mean, they think Trump did a good job with Covid. There's nothing they won't fall for.
  18. 18 in Cedar Park with a wind chill of 2. My dog loves the cold, but he came sprinting back to the door after he pissed.
  19. I don't want to brag, but I have four eggs in the fridge.
  20. Christ, I wouldn't be surprised if Trump gets them a refund.
  21. He probably needed a sexual harassment charge to get the job interview in the first place.
  22. Jesse Watters has replaced Tucker Carlson in the Needs His Ass Kicked the Most rankings.
  23. You know those sci-fi movies set in a dystopian future where the entire world is run by one corporation headed by a cartoonishly over-the-top supervillain? Yeah, that's happening.
  24. This is the best idea I've heard yet. The only hope is to win the mid-terms so hard that Trump faces an obstructionist Congress in the second half of his term. Then he'll just do whatever he wants by Executive Order anyway, so we're still turbo fucked. But all of this needs to be documented. The museums need to show future generations that people tried to stop this.
