  1. Fuck that. Don’t negotiate with terrorists.
  2. All the Tech Bro Billionaires were very happy. And of course even the rich swamp rats. This is a pretty decent read on how the tech bro takeover has unfolded.
  3. The problem is much deeper than Trump or MAGA. Those are just smoke screens to keep people distracted. The real problem is the takeover of the country by a small set of billionaires who each rule kingdoms that they feel should be free of government and public interference. They (people like Peter Thiel, Curtis Yarvin and Leon - there are many other mostly Tech Bros) want to rule their fiefdoms as they choose. Just like all kings do. No king wants to take orders from anyone. Human nature hasn’t changed, those in power want to keep power. Those with power, do not wish to share it. Tech Bro Kings aren’t concerned about equality or fairness or anything much to do with the public as long as what is due to them comes to them. The price of a dozen eggs means nothing when you can buy the entire egg industry. When you can easily buy senators, vice presidents and presidents then democracy is just a fun ruse. Slashing the govt (with Elon out front) is just a way to make the public believe that the Tech Bro Kings have the answers. Planes are crashing? Starlink will fix it. Mail isn’t being delivered? Amazon has the answer. National Parks can’t be booked? AirBnB has a system. Want an education? Google has all the info you need. Each thing that is given away just strengthens the kingdoms. Unfortunately there is no going back. The battles are lost. Democracy is dead. The only hope is one day the kingdoms will come in conflict with each other (which always happens) and they will destroy themselves and something better will rise.
  4. Honey, you should spend less time worrying about Suzi from HR and more about the kids schoolwork, Sunday dinner and our summer vacation.
  5. They “researched” things on the internet that god provided and then drove their electric car using gods own gps to the store to buy some vitamins and minerals that god himself extracted from various plants and animals. But trusting medical science is a bridge too far…that life expectancy is up by 15 years over the past 100 years is just luck with nothing to do with vaccines and medicine.
  6. If you don't report it, you can't say it was stolen. It's pretty simple.
  7. CONGRESS CREATES / PRESENTS THE BUDGET what is so fucking hard for these people to understand? There is no big pile of money that is just being "wasted". Some Park Ranger in Big Bend isn't just tapping into a hidden government bank account to get some free money.
  8. +hide behind fake christianism (like 99% of other "christians", so that's why they like him).
  9. No one has money for free agency this off season. If you are making a trade for AD to push this year, you roll with the better player. And the mavs GAVE UP a second rd pick in the deal. Grimes scored more points tonight than minutes AD/Martin have played for the mavs.
  10. Are Aggies against vaccinations of animals? I'm not an Animal Scientist, but I'm pretty sure that is year 1 shit...
  11. She don’t need to play no school. This site is up https://www.allrecipes.com/
  12. Trading Grimes for injured scraps is the icing on the shit cake.
  13. Helm falling. Probably dropping a few rounds to 5th or 6th. [emoji24]
  14. National and human embarrassment. Just like all of MAGA
  15. We just took self safety at the other end.
  16. The Crazy Mountain dispute is the model of billionaires taking over public land. This is basically how our national parks will be divided up among the uber rich, probably starting with Yellowstone and Yosemite. If you are not familiar with the takeover of “Yellowstone North” there is a handy recap and solid video here. https://unofficialnetworks.com/2025/02/13/how-billionaires-are-taking-over-a-montana-mountain-range/ You will hear names that are pretty familiar if you follow MAGA.
  17. The excitement level was the exact opposite of the Willie Nelson thread being updated
  18. Another idiot on ignore
  19. January 21 March 1 Seems to be going well…
  20. It’s the playbook “If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.” Lyndon B. Johnson If you are stupid enough to fall for it, it’s on fucking you…
  21. The other NATO states should drop out and form a new alliance without us. Maybe drop Turkey as well. The US is a liability to lasting peace at this point. They should also request that all US military bases and presence be removed from their countries.
  22. Except he would he trading with a moron of equal stature in Morey.
  23. Now do Podcast P…
  24. He has to miss a game now
