  1. She's a fucking cunt. She needs to take her Luka-less Mavericks and get the fuck out.
  2. Well, technically, it wasn't the assassinated prince, it was his petty, jealous, inbred haemophiliac relatives.
  3. Does it trouble you at all that drug smugglers, common criminals like Juan Orlando Hernandez or El Chapo, are being murdered on the high seas without the due process accorded to at least Hernandez? Or that the actual victims are just ordinary people trying to get by, maybe a bit compromised?
  4. The only thing that's even remotely close to that is I believe Chevron or Conoco (C company) had actual leases on Lake Maracaibo. Chavez nationalized that, but Chevron still operates there although I'm sure it's on lower margins. Nice to know that Chevron is us and we are Chevron (or Conoco).
  5. No one on here watches Rachel Maddow and if they do it's for lulz.
  6. Well, yeah, assuming the unpopularity of Trumpco holds, he'll be tainted among the rationals. He also has I think about zero appeal to the base. They. Have. To. Have. The. Base. How so?
  7. Why is this troubling? I get that Vance is a) a lot smarter than Trump and b) apparently in the thrall of YarvinThielco, which makes him very dangerous indeed. I also think he's unelectable.
  8. "Tough love" or loving from a distance is the approved way to deal with active addict family members. Anything else risks enablement of the addict, not to mention safety and property of the family. Still, it's incredibly hard to watch a close family member self-destruct. Many times, that leads in fairly short order to a rock bottom for the addict and the necessary realization that they need help and acceptance of it and recovery. Other times, it's going to lead to long term homelessness, jail, prison, and mental institutions. I had seen an article in connection with the film About Charlie where the Reiners had used this approach for many years, but Nick remained incorrigible and they gave up and began enabling him again. Fucking brutal. I've spent a lot of time talking to and listening to the stories of addicts and the worst things I have ever heard inevitably concern their addict children.
  9. Funny how many of the great lines came from James Cromwell.
  10. I have this persistent thought that real life before color tv and movies actually occurred in black and white. Like, my parents grew up in black and white.
  11. Also, thanks to a con man, they started to vote and thereby try to impose their batshittery on the rest of us.
  12. I bet you were one before Trump. Libertarian that is. You've apparently always been a retard. Interesting factoid from the Migration Policy Institute, which is credible. Biden Administration let in a little over 5 million immigrants. It also naturalized a record 3.4 million immigrants.
  13. Those aren't actually encounters. Encounters are detentions and expulsions. Now, a detention might later result in expulsion, or release pending asylum or other grounds for legal entry.
  14. That article does nothing to explain what those costs might be and how they are calculated. The sources cited are highly political. the Committee on the Judiciary being headed by notorious straight shooter Gym Jordan, backed up by the wonderful Darrell Issa and Andy Biggs. FAIR was founded by a white supremacist. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Tanton There are more sanguine estimates that they cost us very little if anything at all.
  15. I think the tariffs and threat of same created huge uncertainty in a lot of sectors such that business plans were scaled back and put on hold. Certainly true of many of my clients.
  16. Probably important to note that the only real substantive changes Biden made to immigration were to permit asylum claims while remaining in US and not treating first unlawful entry as a crime (also closely tied with family separation policies). The real difference is the perception that Biden policy was more lenient than Trump's, driving people to the border.
  17. Given that it isn't information about Israel or Palestine, I think it should be allowed.
  18. Looks like Trump might be grabbing ol Sus by the pussy.
  19. Well if by "done" you mean "fucked shit up," then yeah maybe, probably.
  20. She is a complete mercenary and this is another indication that there is life after MAGA/Trump. In other words, at this point she doesn't give a shit about alienating Trump because she can find other gigs.
  21. Fairly shocking. https://variety.com/2025/film/news/james-woods-rob-reiner-death-remarks-1236609668/ James Woods criticizes Trump over Reiner remarks. Actually talking like a semi-sane person.
  22. Who is this asshole?
  23. I did a quick google (really duckduckgo because fuck Google) when ana brought that up and read the Biden (mis)quotes. Unfortunately, my skepticism meter was on low sensitivity, so I didn't dig any further. I didn't pay a great deal of attention to Biden's campaign because voting for him was a foregone conclusion for me. This is the kind of thing I look out for, usually, on #bothsides, and why I tend to be skeptical of many "interpretations" of what someone says. I like to see it straight from their mouths, or text, or whatever.
