  1. Well, that's comforting.  I did a lot of research in 11/2020 and basically figured out that there was no way I would be allowed to move to Canada if I were already retired, so this gives me something to look forward to.  
    Costa Rica or Portugal
  2. When AMLO took office and changed over a number of SRE personnel, the Consulate General of Mexico in Texas gave me a bottle of extremely rare Sotol from the President's personal holdings before he was transferred to California.  I don't drink anymore but when Trump dies, I am going to open that bottle drop a half dozen hits of acid into it, drink a quarter of the bottle, and lose my fucking mind.  I am probably going to encourage my wife and children to go be with her parents in Western Kansas since her folks will be so bummed out about Trump's death.  She'll return 2-3 days later when the neighbors call her about a rotting smell because there's no way I don't end up shitting in our firepit and starting it on fire by firing multiple rounds into it with a handgun she doesn't even really know I own.  We are also going to eat mushrooms, kill 5 hookers, and likely make Briscoe Cain suck his own taint by breaking his pelvis.  Nobody, and I mean nobody, is safe the night that Trump dies.  Everybody who ever once thought he was a good idea is going to suffer whilst sucking my ballsack over peyote seltzers and bad dreams.
    I don't think I want to party with you cowboy.

    I guess if Trump takes you out with him, he wins again. Nah dog
  3. You can always tell the people talking in bad faith because they can’t help adding “and Russian lives.” 
     
    Our only concern should be tilting that kill ratio way in favor of AFU as fast as possible.
    Well it would ideal if we could end the war without so many dead Russians but they appear to be rather unconcerned and fatalistic about it from the top down. Lots of Telegram posts about " we have broken guns, shitty food, no plan, and we will likely all die but we aren't pussies and are going forward with our shovels.
  4. I think I've been reflective along those same lines [as Anastasis]. I wrote something that invited a flare-up of comment in the Decline of Trump thread. I didn't pursue it out of laziness and awareness that it was the wrong thread. This likely isn't the right one either.
    Our record in Latin America alone is a breathtaking excercise in exploitation using just about any means. Our deposing the democratically elected president of Iran to re-install the Shah so we could have our way with local resources in another bloody black mark on this overly self-congratulatory country.
    We paint our foreign and war policy as good guys versus bad guys. Simplistic and counter productive. The well-written responses in that other thread pointed to the Pax Americana and the value of American military force in the world since WWII.
    I was not making an absolute argument against every action the US has taken. I was just pointing out the large element of our foreign policy which is stupid, brutal, and working in service of the greed now grown almost holy in our culture.
    We fumbled the best chance we had in Afghanistan by pulling out the special forces to secure the north of Iraq when Turkey, one of the allegedly threatened neighbors of Iraq refused to participate in the second war of the Bush term.
    The invasion of Iraq was a disastrous policy in some ways worse than Viet Nam because at least in the earlier bloody, useless war, we thought we were fighting an actual enemy. At least North Vietnam was communist even though they posed no threat to the US.
    Over and over and over again.
    This is where I'm at. Most all of our global adventures were horrible failures and costly, excepting when we prevent or reduce Genocide. Ukraine was invaded by Russia, a country that explicitly declared Genocide on them then started murdering people. Pretty easy calculus when they openly state thier intentions.

  5. I wonder if during all that absolute nonsense, if a single person in that audience thought to themselves, "Oh shit. He's crazy. It's a con. It's always been a con. I'm such a fool."
    Probably not.
    No we are left with the cult members. Smaller audience but all in.

    A lot of the OG Trumpers, like my brother, put the Red Hats away and are "too busy to pay attention to politics".

    It actually works well for the GOP, as people like him vote straight R and are uniformed as to the ghouls and hideous fuckery they vote for.

  6. And then my wife has the audacity to ask me why I never want to drive to Sacramento to see her family for Christmas.
    You do realize you'd be two hours from Tahoe right? I can think of worse travel destinations.
  7. These people can seamlessly hold these thoughts simultaneously: "swearing is a horrible thing" and "maybe gay people shouldn't be allowed to exist."
    My mother in law watched Top Gun Maverick with us a few months back, and she enjoyed it the whole way through. Right up until they say "fuck" one time (if there's ever been a more appropriate time in cinema history to swear than when you steal an old F-14 from a Russia-adjacent military base and then have an enemy jet flat spin 50 ft away from you to avoid a missile, I'd love to hear it); then, she spent the next week telling everyone who would listen how awful and unnecessary the movie was.
    She had no real opinion of the LGTBQ community until she became heavily involved in Church, and now two girls holding hands in a commercial results in disgust and ranting.
    My wife's uncle--who used to be a pretty solid dude, questionable politics aside--literally can't go 3 minutes anymore without bringing up "transvestites in schools" in polite company. He wrote "Woke" in Sharpie on a box of Bud Light on a chartered fishing trip last weekend, and then bragged about it for 4 days.
    They're broken people, drifting through life clinging to one manufactured outrage after the next. The olds, especially, need their fix after Fox and the Internet got their hooks in.
    Basically aggies amirite?

  8. That may well be true, but they've also recently been saying that if you hit our power production this winter will we respond in kind.  I think this is sort of a precursor to that.  Again, I doubt Putin gives a crap out his own people suffering and freezing.  
    He won't until enouugh rise up enough to matter. Populaces under authorities regimes tend to flip all at once.
  9. So he’s moved away from raking the forests now?
    Being the bigliest forest service expert ever, he is as usual, ahead of you. You rake, then remove dead trees, then flood the area with free available water to prevent fires.


    This is theoretically possible in The Fourest* in Central Park or Flourida* which is his entire world view, so it must work in the mountain west. Old manly bro has never been anywhere his base lives.

    *I hate how Yankees pronounce these words. Nyc is bad enough, Philly folk burns my ears.
  10. Hopefully I can ask this with a bit of amnesty, but what's wrong with these requests/demands?
    I mean #1 is a bit of a boondoggle that I don't think is even physically feasible, but I think some sort of enhancement to border security could be agreed to.  The others don't seem that crazy.
    I mean personally, I'm for the legalization of all drugs, but I understand that's not happening anytime soon, so I understand #3 in that context.
    Do you know how much a complete border wall would coats.

    Do you want one running through BBNP?
  11. I just assume everything he says is a lie. I guess you could argue that there are times when he doesn’t have a choice but he lies anyway. Like when it rained during his inauguration. We all saw it rain. We all saw Dubya wrestling with his poncho. He can’t lie about that. But he lied anyway. It’s pathological.
    It's QVC Home/ Shopping Network run through a malignant narcissistic person. He can't help himself. Best ever, bigly quality, a deal never seem before, act now!

    God damn devil.

    And people still use TDS. Bro, his sins are all there, no need to be deranged. Rapist, Crook, Clearly he lies about everything like a fire hydrant. But we are overreacting or deranged? Run the tapes.
