  1. You know, I can do those things without having utter contempt for those beneath me. Not all that long ago, my grandparents and their parents were at the absolute bottom of the totem pole. Some of those people are going to work their way up, and some aren't. Neither of us knows which.
  2. So, what, you're saying it's a bit and you don't really think this? Or the anonymity of the internet lets your shitheel flag fly?
  3. Oh look it even has Trump CapitalizationTM.
  4. You are so full of contempt for those beneath you it is really astonishing. I have never in my life encountered someone willing to air these kind of thoughts. They may have thought them, but they wouldn't say them aloud for fear of being thought a sociopath or worse. As to your penultimate paragraph, there is a 99.9% likelihood that your forebears fled another nation looking for a better situation.
  5. I think pops had the guns while junior was investigated.
  6. The deadline to sign up is January 1, and was really December 15, so anyone that has attempted to sign up has seen their premium double, at least. At this point, the lack of subsidy is baked in. Not sure how it changes anything for 2026.
  7. Haha went to three because that is a deal I just could not pass up. Saw lots of Fossil, but no Zodiac. Little surprised these would sell out as for non-fanatics, they're kinda uggo and it's an obscure brand. How belated is this?
  8. This does not describe his base. This describes something else entirely, maybe the persuadable middle or something. I have been told repeatedly that everyone voted for Trump because of his racism and otherism. And I certainly don't disagree with that as pertains to the base. I concede that Vance has the potential to appeal to a more rational class of voters. But I don't think there are enough rational Trump supporters to get him elected.
  9. She sounds drunk, or mentally handicapped. Must be rough for her living in Clearwater, where 1 of 5 is Hispanic. And that whole Florida name must be a constant reminder.
  10. I mean maybe. We have often discussed that Trump is sui generis and I think that's very true. That 30-40% base he has maintained is almost solely attributable to his peculiar traits that no one else can duplicate.
  11. Excellent post. I meant to extend that out to a criticism of Cuban, but neglected to. I think you're absolutely correct.
  12. So, from what I can see of the VF article, there are some very subtle defenses of Trump and certain elements of Trumpco. That seems to normalize the administration. But I have no idea who is the audience for that? It's way too subtle for the base and they ain't reading, period, much less VF.
  13. Also just a side note. Kathy Hochul is very attractive at her age.
  14. It's amusing that one of the "exhibits" of that display was paid for by a government agency, created by the most socialist president we ever had and no doubt created on the government dole by a drunken layabout artist. At least he was white. Well, sorta. Alexander Dux was born in Austria-Hungary in 1898 and immigrated here with his family in 1910.
  15. She's a fucking cunt. She needs to take her Luka-less Mavericks and get the fuck out.
  16. Well, technically, it wasn't the assassinated prince, it was his petty, jealous, inbred haemophiliac relatives.
  17. 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?
  18. 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).
  19. No one on here watches Rachel Maddow and if they do it's for lulz.
  20. 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?
  21. 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.
  22. "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.
  23. Funny how many of the great lines came from James Cromwell.
  24. 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.
  25. Also, thanks to a con man, they started to vote and thereby try to impose their batshittery on the rest of us.
