  1. So make it make sense @Incredulity. We are levying a blanket tarriff on our partner to the north for what? I get the mental gymnastics they go through to do so on Mexico, but Canada?
  2. So the government of Canada is bringing fentanyl and illegals in to the country? For that matter, Mexico government is sponsoring it as well?
  3. Can you let me know? What is the point of this? What is being demanded? I really don't understand it.
  4. I appreciate this site. I am also going to just start negging spanky for every post going forward. Showed ass in CR then comes here to bitch about....checks notes....CR. Just fuck off @Spankytoes. Go fly off into oblivion ❄️. Godspeed dude.
  5. I am seeing a whole bunch of folks that are being forced to post here and read threads against their will. We need to get someone on it asap. Who is forcing these people to read/post? I am going to reach out to KXAN and see if they will investigate. Something isn't right. Nah, it is just idiots that don't know how to regulate and are offended when people draw them into a situation where they are forced to realize their inadequacies. Buncha unrealized self hatred. Sad.
  6. We know it is perfect. It is 100!! He is a genius! Spanky is a close runner up at 89. So close to perfect!
  7. When the farmers realize they have 0 subsidies this spring and have to sell their land, it will be the chefs kiss. Of course we will then consolidate that land into the hands of con-agra or another giant and we all lose. But it will be delicious until we realize we will all be fucked forever. Fun times.
  8. I built a pitching mound and hitters pad out of turf for my boys to practice. Holy shit it gets hot. I can't imagine having an entire back yard of the stuff. It is pretty good for the baseball application during cooler weather though.
  9. The gop has been in total control of Texas government for what? 30 years yet the entire time they have been claiming they are going to fix everything that the dems have broken the entire time. It is beyond reality. This was the case study. We really have a shitload of people who are not capable of simple critical thought. At some point you have to realize you are being duped, but it is easier to just dig in I guess.
  10. This might be the most impressive self owning thread I have seen since rocko posted a paystub. This is where we are. I would laugh if it wasn't so goddamn sad. Now imagine 70 million of these idiots stealing our air while voting for a felon.
  11. What is going to happen: People take the bait. They will never see the payout. Elon knows they can't afford to fight the government with their limitless resources and SC in the bag. They are now on a list. They can get hired somewhere, maybe. The purpose of the impact is to cripple every agency. Needed or not needed, it doesn't matter. They will show how inept the government is with this self fulfilling prophecy. Fox news will parrot the cost savings while ignoring that the top 0.1% paying their fair share could pay for all of these folks to work every year and all the social net programs. People will suffer. That is the feature. Isolate folks as much as you can. The very same folks will pump propaganda into their socials. All of the people that left don't deserve shit because they are lazy. Nobody lives outside their algorithm so it will work. In the end, there will be some people you and I don't see that will suffer and we will post on Surly. I will at least say some random shit while you post bullshit what about this. No real substance. I am very much OK. You are very much not.
  12. Incapable of taking any sort of stand on anything political while taking a thinly veiled stand on every political subject. So you are just a bot posting current events. Thanks! You have juevos the size of deer shit. Post less.
  13. So nothing. As usual you just waste bandwidth with no actual take. Right on man. Post less.
  14. I want to also point out that we have folks in govt now with a track record of not paying people they owe or promise payment. It would be risky. @Anastasis nice response to a question. You said a whole bunch of nothing. I know this is your MO, but you started the topic. Post something of some substance and tell us why or why not you think this is a good idea. I will give you a prompt: What do you think the long term effects of this will be? You mentioned brain drain, have you seen this happen recently with a country? Are there any countries that have tried to tie loyalty to the leader to their job with the government? What were the results? What type of philosophy would you classify that ruling party as aligning with? Lastly, do you think America is better or worse with free thought and discussion, dissenting or otherwise?
  15. Oh everyone will suffer. Myself included. I just don't give a shit anymore and I am a cockroach. I will be fine. I can abscond to a place none of this impacts me. I don't want to, I voted/donated several times to prevent it, you can only do so much. Suffering is the great equalizer.
  16. What is your opinion on this action. Do you think it will benefit the country as a whole?
  17. Man that is tough. I lost my father at 18 and don't think I will ever be over it. Great reflection and tribute. You are lucky to have had him for the time you did, despite anything that may have caused friction. You know as a father that he did his best. RIP. I hope you and your family can find peace.
  18. Give it a few weeks when it actually hits them. They will all suffer and then try to make you feel sorry for them. It is astounding how many of them didn't read the doctrine and are now just taken aback. I read it and thought, I really really don't like it and it will effectively end America, but I will survive. I feel dumb trying to fight for those that will suffer only to have them call me stupid all while I was trying to help them. Sometimes you have to let your kids touch the stove.
  19. Well shit, this is how stupid I am. I never even put two and two together that this is exactly what was done. Pausing all federal grants...etc.. just cut all funding to farmers. It has been a long day. I doubt the farmers realized this when the scroll went by their fox news feed. Deport their labor force, cut their subsidies right before you need to buy seed and fertilizer for the spring planting season. Hahahha We will see how long the Judge ruling holds up.
  20. Well, I am not sure where or what he shared in confidence with you but I knew everything you posted. I eluded to it in my original response to him and tried to have grace as it is tough stuff. I just lost my best friend to renal failure. Now we talk about reality, people were delicate and asking him to defend an indefensible position and he reacts predictably calling names. Then predictably pandering for sympathy. Don't fall for it. I just went through this with my best friend who I grew up with and love like a brother. He lashed out at me when I told him like it was about his condition. Sadly, mixing in dug in political positions with his situation, it won't end well. He put everything out there and we are under no obligation to give him a pass or feel bad when he acts fully out of pocket. I don't wish ill toward him but I have zero respect for his position and I am not going to feel sorry for the predicament he put himself in. Nor should you.
  21. Somewhere in that doctrine I read they will do away with all farm subsidies. If that drops, shit will get real for a huge cross-section of maga. That is when I believe they really start tearing each other into fragmented factions.
  22. A maga guy I work with claimed trump is changing the name of the Gulf so all the laws about offshore drilling no longer apply.
