This is vicarious embarrassment, however it's totally true. During a workplace spanish class, I'm sitting next to my buddy who lost his ring finger falling off a ladder when his wedding ring got hooked on the ladder or whatever. Instructor says "cuantos dedos tienes" and looks at him. I am sitting next to him and see the train wreck coming. I immediately start dying on the inside as he responds "nueve". She says "no no no, diez". I am dying and eventually can't control myself. He says "nueve". She responds "diez" again. I am physically and audibly losing my shit. He holds up his hand. Instructor proceeds to turn extremely green with shame. It was one of the most truly hilarious things I've ever seen.

Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]

Is Elon Musk The Father Of Your Child? Signs To Look For | Babylon Bee -
Here's a radical notion. Get rid of all coins. Fuck all that shit. I haven't touched american coins in at least a decade. Smallest hard cash is $1 folding money. Everything else can be stablecoin or digital, with unlimited digits to the right of the decimal. Stablecoins are about to replace all your credit card transactions anyway.

2021 - Is inflation finally back in the conversation?
Thetexashammer replied to Reagan1k's topic in Business and Markets
Inflation has monotonically increased for the last seven months. The elements of the CPI that increased are not imported goods subject ot tariffs. The biggest was housing, which made up 30% of the CPI increase. The rest was health costs, food, used cars, and energy. -
I used to be a CPA. I use debt to the penny, not the reported "deficit". Even the reported "surplus" under Clinton was not a real surplus. The primary difference between the reported deficit and the actual one is "one time factors". It's like a company saying they made $1.00 in earnings, but they are taking a $9.00 writedown for goodwill. Well that's real money you wrote down LOL, you can't exclude it. Do you also believe the CBO projections? They claim we will never have a recession and even then we go bankrupt. Go back and look at their projections under Clinton, I shit you not the claimed the debt would be fully paid off by now. For 2024, the real deficit was $2.3 trillion. But we are at peak economic growth.

You are missing the point. Pubs have been corrupt shitheads for decades. Trying to figure out who is to blame is for fools, or blaming MAGA as most of you are doing, is delusional. I support the cuts because they are a first step towards limiting the pain of the coming fiscal crisis. Only a fool would oppose these cuts, likewise only a fool would not recognize the necessity for much more massive spending cuts as soon as possible. But FUCK MAGA!!!! YEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!! The inflation we are seeing is nothing compared to what is coming. The disruption will cause massive social unrest and result in the ending a large numbers of federal programs and put our security at risk. Basic math indicates we may see 50% cuts across the board to all spending categories outside of interest. But then, nobody here has the intelligence to engage on the numbers, do they? Did you realize that the debt to GDP explodes when you cut federal spending (it reduces GDP) and we go into recession? That our pension funds will go bankrupt, and a decline in the dollar will grow inflation even more? States and cities can go bankrupt, many of them are. The FDIC is VERY thinly funded.

I tried to explain, over and over again, the fiscal situation. This was a couple of years ago. I looked at debt to the penny for 1 OCT 2023, then compared in with the same number for 1 OCT 2024. Then I looked up federal spending in fiscal 2024. I calculated a deficit of 8.2%. You can replicate that calculation, some of you, but not most. 40% of every dollar of federal spending is borrowed. These aren't even RIFs. RIFs are coming. The money doesn't exist to pay those salaries. 20% is of federal spending interest expense, which cannot be cut. In order to balance the budget we have to cut around 50% of all noninterest spending. Once we hit a recession, the deficit will blow out to $5 trillion. No one will finance our deficits. The dollar will crumble. Inflation explodes. The leftists here decided they didn't love their children enough to care about all of that. The crisis was avoidable, were it not for people like you. All you had to do was balance the budget. Stop believing the lie. I wish the best to all of you. Prepare for what is coming or don't. Your track record so far isn't great.

2024 Fiesta Bowl - Penn State vs. Boise State

This is a pretty good narrative of what went on inside the White House. Atlas is a Stanford professor, and his arguments are evidence based, not based on emotion or some idiotic manichean understanding of the world.

Possibly. Show your work.

Fauci is responsible for more deaths outside of the folks who actually leaked the virus. He is a narcissistic demon who if there is any justice will burn in hell. More broadly, he and the public health establishment writ large lied about everything. They lied about masks. They lied about Ivermectin. They lied when they said the vaccine would prevent infection. They lied in order to close schools. (We had good evidence it was not necessary.) They lied about the 6ft distancing. (No evidence) They lied about taking millions from Big Pharma. (260 NIAID scientists took $690 million in royalties from Big Pharma between 2021 and 2023. That's more than $3 million per scientist.) They lied about the origin of the virus. They signed a letter saying if you protested for BLM you would be safe, but if you gathered for MAGA you would transmit the virus. They lied about natural immunity. They lied about vaccine side effects. They lied to make kids take a vaccine for a virus to which they were immune. You cannot just lie about every fucking thing you say, then turn around and say "trust us". There is documented evidence of the huge harm caused by their "advice", especially to kids. But the most damage they did was to convince people not to take the vaccine because they could not be trusted but rather are inveterate liars dispossessed of any conscience whatsoever. If there is another pandemic, there will be mass refusals to take any vaccine, despite any evidence. There is no trust, and their shouldn't be. I am vaccinated, and obviously very pro vaccine, because I read the studies. But science requires the confidence of the public, and the public health establishment could not have done a worse job.

Yet another of an endless series of victimless felonies. The impeachment failed. The second impeachment failed. The Russia Hoax failed. Do you think legal warfare will succeed at destroying him? I am undecided.
