  1. I don’t have to worry bout this bullshit with Sela Ward and Susanna Hoffs or Shania Twain. I just have to worry about @Brisketexanhiding in the bushes and peeking through the window.
  2. It’s illustrative of what I’ve mentioned before - Cruz feels like it’s his turn, that he’s entitled to it and probably sees Vance as taking a short cut.
  3. Wont be a good look during the appeal process. I expect him to attack Abbott and the legislature for fucking up so badly. He has to be seething over those 5 seats, especially if California pulls it off.
  4. And the hardcore conspiracy theorists lean pretty hard right, into libertarian territory. It was easy for Trump to get them to the polls with all of the conspiracy bullshit, but the problem for him is that they are also the people who are going to freak out the most at redacted files.
  5. https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/warning-signs-mexico-beach-us-department-of-defense-property/ Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Tuesday ruled out allowing U.S. strikes against cartels on Mexican soil, a day after President Trump said he was willing to do whatever it takes to stop drugs entering the U.S. Meanwhile, Mexican and American diplomats were trying to sort out what may have been an actual U.S. incursion. On Monday, men arrived in a boat at a beach in northeast Mexico and installed some signs signaling land that the U.S. Department of Defense considered restricted. Mexico's Foreign Affairs Ministry said late Monday that the country's navy had removed the signs, which appeared to be on Mexican territory. "The origin of the signs and their placement on national territory were unclear," the ministry said in a statement. —/—/ The signs read in English and Spanish, "Warning: Restricted Area," and went on to explain that it was Department of Defense property and had been declared restricted by "the commander." It said there could be no unauthorized access, photography or drawings of the area. CBS 4 News Rio Grande Valley posted an image of one of the signs on social media. The U.S. Embassy in Mexico shared a comment from the Pentagon Tuesday about the incident, confirming that contractors putting up signs to mark the "National Defense Area III" had placed signs at the mouth of the Rio Grande. "Changes in water depth and topography altered the perception of the international boundary's location," the statement said. "Government of Mexico personnel removed 6 signs based on their perception of the international boundary's location." The Pentagon said the contractors would "coordinate with appropriate agencies to avoid confusion in the future." Mexico had contacted its consulate in Brownsville, Texas, and then the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City. Eventually, it was determined that contractors working for some U.S. government entity had placed the signs, Sheinbaum said.
  6. Johnson and the Rs being pissed at the Senate rushing through the Epstein vote is my guess.
  7. Ticking over Ye Olde 50 Years Old threshold and the amount of "the Texas legislature has voted on new healthcare legislation bleh bleh bleh and Medicare or Medicaid bleh bleh bleh" spam robo calls has shot up for me, even with constantly blocking. Somebody out there is making a shitload of money on these spam robo calls, and even though I clearly recognize them as spam robocalls, it's obvious a lot of people aren't. Now ramp that up to 11 with AI with a lot more stuff. We are in for a rough ride. I used to chuckle at the once-in-a-blue-moon phone call from a relative asking why somebody in another country wants to send them cash. Now I'm pretty sure half my older relatives have had a few thousand dollars stolen from them over this stuff.
  8. The next 10 months are going to be interesting as hell, as he fixates on polls and Epstein stuff.
  9. I don't think so. Sweden and Finland didn't get off the fence for that to happen. However, America as the "Arsenal of Democracy" and as leader of the free world is rapidly slipping away. We just have to remember that Ukraine doesn't have to win, they just have to not lose, and there's a distinction there - we see them hitting targets inside of Russia every day that drags Russia just a little bit closer to systemic failures (power, oil & gas, etc.) that they can't easily recover from. Sure, Russia can burn 120,000 soldiers to get a shell of a town that used to have a population of 60,000, but that's not something they can repeat over and over, and no amount of dead and wounded soldiers will keep the lights on and the oil flowing. Without that hard cash, Iran and China aren't going to sell them the goods, and without power and heat, the Russian people will get really antsy. And there's talk that Russia is burning through those soldiers over the past few months to achieve psychological victories to pressure Trump because they think his usefulness is coming to an end. Whether that's true or not is more for CR, but they've definitely ramped up pressure on the battlefield to achieve something at a helluva cost. And they still haven't fully taken over Pokrovsk, which is wild.
  10. He just can’t stop watching all of the shows he wants canceled.
  11. They took the Texas clause out.
  12. It's about a dystopian future where South Africans still have slavery in the 20th century and are trying to take over the world. Probably required reading in his household growing up.
  13. We just need to make sure that all politicians understand that their browsing histories will be fodder for whoever wants that data.
  14. Tell me you've never met his grandmother without telling me you've never met his grandmother.
  15. Nah, that would require some distant celestial body to enter our solar system to act as a vessel conveying whatever apocalyptic cause there is.
  16. Probably not, but it's all being placed on Trump's plate - it's his people that will be holding up the files now. Congress did their part to vote on it, with veto-proof majorities. And Trump has not been acting particularly well as of late. And Republicans are squabbling over it.
  17. So is Nick Fuentes publicly declaring MAGA is dead the canary in the coal mine, or is Johnson being bamboozled by Thune and the Senate? Or is it hardcore MAGA like Boebert, MTG, and Mace rebelling over the Epstein stuff and a bunch of Republicans signaling they would vote for the release, forcing Trump to tell the Republicans to vote for it, versus his foaming at the mouth the previous week? Or how about this from Laura Loomer: I feel like it's Johnson getting played. But Loomer and Fuentes combined is a close second.
  18. GOP is already fighting (still laughing that Thune fucked Johnson over like that) and Trump won't be able to be on most states' ballots anyways. This Epstein stuff is going to sink him and he's acting like it. That "piggy" was his brain coming up with something other than "bitch" or "cunt".
  19. On the 4th episode, enjoying how they are handling the major battles.
  20. Keep in mind that a healthy chunk of MAGA were not consistent voters prior to 2016 (and some of them are far too obsessed with the PizzaGate/Epstein stuff), and toss in Trump fumbling the Epstein Files, Mike Johnson fumbling the House vote, Thune letting Johnson get caught off guard, and then you have people like Nick Fuentes declaring MAGA dead, etc., etc. None of this is going to drive people to the polls for the Rs. And plenty of the MAGA types have been harmed by Trump's policies (tariffs, trade wars, etc.). Even if they don't outright denounce it, they aren't going to be enthusiastic about voting. And Trump's not on the ballot.
