  1. Do y’all remember when he had concepts of an economic plan? Those were better times.
  2. They were pretty fucking good, and then Trump rolled in with his Make America Great Again bullshit and convinced millions of people that our country was broken and needed a reality TV show host to fix it. Not once, but twice he sold that lie and stupid Americans bought it. There needs to be a new campaign of AWG - American Was Great.
  3. Global markets are tanking and Fox News has their main headline about 4 disloyal Republican senators. No mention of the stock market.
  4. I think Trump does a lot of things that are clearly stupid, but I don’t think you can blame this entirely on stupidity. That would imply that he has somewhat good intentions for the long term of our country, and that his methods are merely flawed because of his own lack of understanding. While the lack of understanding part is likely somewhat true, I don’t think the good intentions part is at all true. I think this is someone who is deliberately destroying our country. That is not stupidity. That is an evil person achieving exactly what they set out to do.
  5. Putin gains from this. His global standing and the Russian economy were in the gutter. Trump is sending the rest of the world in that direction and making the economic playing field more level for Putin and Russia. He had also destroying strong long standing political alliances which benefits Putin militarily. Whether or not you believe that’s the underlying reason for all of this is up to you, but it does benefit Putin and it would add to a growing list of things that Trump has done to that effect.
  6. Unfortunately, America deserves this. 82 million dumb and selfish motherfuckers did this to us. Millions of others were too lazy or stupid to vote. Elections have consequences.
  7. I’m so thankful that the most prosperous economy in the history of the world is finally liberated from all of the less prosperous countries that were keeping us down.
  8. What time are we getting liberated? Or has it already happened? Am I supposed to feel different once the liberation occurs?
  9. More likely that Trump will just lie and claim by the end of next week that he gave a 57 hour speech to a private audience consisting of the couch fucker, Elon, his cabinet, Laura Loomer, Kid Rock, and Conor McGregor. They will all lie in support of him and it will be like every time he wins a golf tourney at his own course. Trump will then proclaim himself the greatest speaker of all time. And then a strange administrative error will land Cory Booker in an El Salvador prison with everyone claiming they can’t get him back.
  10. So apparently there’s a lawsuit against Trinity Valley because they covered up that their piano teacher sexually assaulted 16 elementary and middle school kids in 2022-2023. Even if the school was completely forthcoming, the fact that it happened is a huge scandal.
  11. So how long until some state congressman authors a bill to restore Robert E. Lee Rd in Austin?
  12. Don’t “create a ruckus” or you might get deported (sent to a U.S. concentration camp).
  13. Yeah. I wish they would get Katie back, but I still like the current bunch.
  14. I will be there. They always put on a good show.
  15. Yeah I vaguely remember that time Hillary kept stacks of classified documents in her bathroom and showed them off to dinner guests. That was Hillary, right?
  16. If the walkie-talkies are compromised, maybe they should switch to beepers.
  17. +1 on Juggernaut Pessimist is another great value
  18. We drink a lot of Rhône blends in the $25 and under price range. St. Cosme Cote du Rhône - $18.99 https://www.centralmarket.com/product/st-cosme-cote-du-rhone-750-ml/2813028 Bonpas Ventoux Grande Réserve Des Challières - $18.95 https://www.centralmarket.com/product/bonpas-ventoux-grande-reserve-des-challieres-750-ml/8504504 Famille Perrin Nature (organic) - $12.99 https://www.heb.com/product-detail/famille-perrin-nature-cotes-du-rhone/2664087 We’re fond of Grenache and GSM blends, so that’s our go-to everyday wine. It helps when Central Market does their 20% off sale and we stock up. I also think the Orin Swift Locations wines are generally pretty good in that same price range, although their bottles annoy me because they don’t fit easily in our wine fridge.
  19. Perhaps this season is a slow burn but I’m loving it.
  20. I wanted Mark to follow Gemma out the door, but I also realized their combined escape would make it difficult to have an interesting plot for season 3, which I hope we are getting. So from a storytelling standpoint, I thought the ending was great. Gemma seems to be free from her torture and I think innie Mark S and Helly can fight their own fight for a while longer. There is a possible way for a happy ending that doesn’t involve “killing” the innies. They could have their outies report to the birthing cottage for a few hours each week and let their innies hang out in a place that’s much better than the Lumon severed floor. Or possibly get Ms. Cover to help them develop an entirely new retreat for the innies. The minor issue here is that outie Helena is currently a villain, so they would need her to be permanently switched to innie Helly or somehow change her outie’s character arc to be more sympathetic.
  21. I wondered about the Helly / Helena situation at the end. It seemed like Helly the entire episode until that moment, but her sudden presence in the hallway felt like a desperate attempt by Helena to manipulate Mark. I suppose they have the ability to flip her switch between innie and outie at any given moment, kind of a reverse OTC. So in the middle of the chaos, when Dylan was standing up to Milchick, they could’ve switched her back to Helena to try to salvage the situation.
  22. Mr. Drummond’s death was fantastic.
  23. That was intense. What an episode of television.
  24. Had to pronounce people dead during residency. Had a few really bad ones. Don’t miss that. I can’t ever remember seeing a traumatic death outside of a medical situation.
  25. The mental gymnastics by Trump supporters these last couple of months are quite remarkable.
