  1. Everyone who relied/relies on conventions and norms was/is a pussy. We're here because pussies led us here.
  2. They might stop just “being concerned” as the cattle car doors close in their faces.
  3. Has anyone, in the national press, called this what it is? The NYT, CNN, etc should all have in the biggest banner headlines they can run: ”TRUMP PLAN FOR GAZA: ETHNIC CLEANSING” Our press is weak. The opposition is pathetic. We are a frivolous and depraved country.
  4. I'll grant him this: when you make a sequel, the #1 rule is you make the same damn movie. He's making the same movie, but bigger, more explosions, more amazing shit. I'm waiting for the re-cast of McCain, though. I fear they may fuck that up like when Maggie Gyllenhaal replaced Katie Holmes as Rachel Dawes. Still, it seems we are in for some compelling theater the next 4-15 years.
  5. Yeah, but that’s irrelevant because an Obama appointee once misfiled a TPS report. Because of this we must cheer on the Einsatzgruppen.
  6. Shadow docket. Aptly nicknamed. Democracy has been dying there, but by bit.
  7. That court’s impotence is laid bare for us all. Any order like you’re describing is vacated by SCOTUS and impeachment proceedings against that judge begin immediately. Any judge inclined to hold Elmo to account knows this, and every judicial dodge (justiciability , political question, wrong size font on the pleadings, etc.) would be employed to get out of it.
  8. With my short game, it’s likely to happen anyway. Maybe next time.
  9. The true Trumpers? Yep. The other 10% or so that just vote R because taxes and regulations, those will see their wallets empty and finally get angry. I’m not sure it will matter, though, once the Musk administration has put their folks at the top of the military, they can simply ignore the constitution at will. Then hold a sham constitutional convention which completes the coup. My point above is a few tweets and man on the street quotes are mere trifles. Nothing has changed yet, and I agree it probably will not.
  10. Whether it’s an island, orbit or another planet, absolutely this. See Elysium. Not a great movie, but, imo, fairly prescient.
  11. Played golf with a Trumper yesterday. He tried every couple holes to bait the rest of us into a discussion about how quickly Trump has been winning. Apparently the fentanyl problem is finished, the corrupt blue states are close to being brought to heel and the Dems who stole the money appropriated for new reservoirs in Cali are about to be indicted. The real pain hasn’t begun yet, and most of his people will need to feel it for months if not years before they’ll question their new god.
  12. They’re liars, cheats, and frauds, yet get elected rather easily and with the nearly unshakable loyalty of their base. Messaging is what they dominate at doing. Telling the truth about anything? Governing? Being virtuous in any way? Those are their weaknesses.
  13. To be clear, my indifference extends to other government employee unions. Private sector unions need to be strengthened and their protections extended to more workers. It would also be nice of their members remembered which party wants them destroyed.
  14. Police unions should be outlawed. I'm indifferent on most of the rest. We need to treat and pay teachers dramatically better, though.
  15. Even if that's the case, they'll be a "leak" that one of them was trans, or of Danish descent.
  16. Are you saying gays can't handle a double team?
  17. So, now they’re OK with paying for Gazans’ conoms?
  18. There's nothing quick about Buc-aggy, who the fuck thinks you can get gas there quickly? It's almost always at least a bit out of the way, and not any cheaper than Costco or HEB, if you're not an idiot and plan your trips even the slightest amount. The only exception, in convenience terms, I can think of is the small one in Giddings, if you're headed west. But it's not cheaper than a half dozen other places in town, and, with the railroad I always plan to make it through town as quickly as possible. Not a dime of my money will knowingly go to paying for aggy athletics. Why this has to be said on this website in the age of NIL is insane.
  19. Fucker fell asleep in court. He doesn't feel stress like we do because of his narcissism. I'm expecting him to at least equal Casto's longevity. On the plus side, that's a 12 year window for the next plague to cull the herd of folks like Max's mom. The last one only got about a year under Dotard to stretch its legs.
  20. The housing shortage will shortly be a non-issue as millions of folks suddenly won’t be able to afford a house anyway. A bunch of extended families are going to get real close again. MAGAts thought great America was the 50’s. They never considered it was the 1850s.
  21. Truly sorry for your loss. He sounds like an incredible father, husband and a great person. You were truly lucky, as you say, and we are lucky to have, as an internet friend, someone raised by the man you describe.
  22. Is this TexAgs now? We need a new thread for every little thing? If so, the front page will be littered with this shit in short order.
  23. Any proof he reads it? We know he rambles nonsensically on it. He seems to mostly react to what he's just seen on Fox News. You think Fox is gonna amplify the pain from Trump's orders? Really?
