For one thing, Trump's demand that the US get 50% of Ukraine's mineral resources. I know they've been successful in flooding the zone to where no scandal or outrage or absurdity gets the attention it should but I feel that demand is a real low point in our nation's history.

This right here. Some of the more chilling things I've heard from the new oligarchs are when they acknowledge there will be "temporary hardship" or that things will be painful during their process of destroying everything before they rebuild it. It certainly doesn't sound like people that are willing to lose power in midterms next year or in 2028. They're also not seeing themselves in sharing those hardships or willing to give away their fortunes.

Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
Bojack replied to MaybeACoordinator's topic in Daily Texan
All done by Donald, Elon, and the nazi kids, people who have no appreciation for National Parks or nature. People who have never had a real job and look down on the very idea of work itself. -
Seems like Anastasis has finally found politicians in our 2 party system that he openly supports.

He transferred between agencies. He went from USDA to DHS then back to USDA recently. -
A huge part of why this is such a clustercuss is that it's being done by people that have never had a real job. Trump, Elon, and the nazi kids don't value work itself. They all have grossly distorted views of leadership. They remind me of the Fyre Fest brat. It's nowhere near enough to have some bright idea. People with skills have to labor to make anything worthwhile happen. They're like many of our most dim-witted right wing posters, there's just not a job out there that they respect. They respect ownership and capital. On this board, it's often we see workers dismissed as burger flippers, button pushers, low skilled, entry level, replaceable, lazy, deserving low pay or no pay, etc...This is the mentality of Dotard and Musk.

I remember hearing a news story several years ago about regular press conferences that Putin holds where commoners come forward and tell him of some problem they're having like a road in disrepair, broken down tractor, or whatever. Putin will then make a grand gesture of fixing their troubles and Russian state media will cover it. I expect we'll be getting some of that soon with these people pleading with Trump and Elon. -
Let's not forget they already butchered it.

Pretty much that Limbaugh, Fox and all that have been enormously profitable by validating people's ugliest feelings. It's like state media but it doesn't require support of the state because the rubes eat it up. That along with the diminishment of traditional press.

A decent thoughtful person might respond: Apologies, Troph. I misunderstood and made a hasty assumption. I'm glad you're better and the ketamine helped. Something tells me Anastasis will do otherwise. -
If our news media had a shred of its supposed leftist leanings, you'd be seeing this kind of story wherever you looked. Even if what remains of our press were purely concerned with profit, it would be inescapable. Good luck finding it anywhere but Surly. They could add to it an accounting of the billions Elon gets in government contracts. Michael Corleone : Tom, wait a minute. I'm talking about a cop that's mixed up in drugs. I'm talking about a - a - a dishonest cop - a crooked cop who got mixed up in the rackets and got what was coming to him. That's a terrific story. And we have newspaper people on the payroll, don't we, Tom? [Tom nods] Michael Corleone : And they might like a story like that. Tom Hagen : They might, they just might. Except they won't. Because they're long since non-existent or they're part of this caper.

The coup thread. Fuck the traitors to the Constitution.
Bojack replied to Willfully Horn's topic in Cloak Room
This is the biggest motherfucking crock of revisionist shit. The only significant, sizable opposition to the Iraq and Afghanistan wars was from the left. Sorry that your liberal neighbors only kept their No War signs up for 10 years or whatever but you're a low down, witless, lying troll that's quick to fling petty insults like duh, duh goldfish brain. You have 24,000 posts on this website. That is a sad pathetic waste of time for someone that has ever in his life said to anyone else, "go touch grass." Fuck off. -

Aside from the long hours, hard work, and low pay being reasons why American citizens won't be rushing to fill those vacated construction jobs, there's also the fact that construction is skilled labor. I spent about 10 years working for a plumbing contractor as a supervisor. We did nothing but new apartments. We'd have subcontractor piece work crews of maybe 4 guys that would do all the top-out and water pipe on a job. They could do an entire 8 unit floor of top-out (the drainage system) with 2 or 3 bathrooms per unit in a day. That's all the time they got between the framers standing up walls and another crew of framers returning to lay out floor trusses for the floor above. This work included drilling all the holes for drains and vents, putting all the materials in the building, installation itself, plus things like nail plates and strapping. The same top-out crew would later fall back to the more finished units and do the water pipe as well. They were also required to test everything for us to get our city inspections. The crew you had made all the difference in the world. They were elite, highly skilled workers that would require years of training to even begin to replace. Almost none of them were here legally. We also had specialized tub setters, gas pipers, ground rough crews, fixture setters. My job was pretty much to make sure the sub crews that did the actual work had materials and everything else they needed and weren't burdened by distractions like repairs or dumbass jobsite politics. Other trades like framing, electrical, HVAC, roofing work the same way and all have their sub specialties. You will never replace people like this. To me, the idea that you can take someone with no previous training, bring them to a jobsite, point to a pipe-threader and a pile of materials and have them install a bunch of gas pipe is the most absurd, disconnected notion in all of this bullshit. I'm sure it's much the same in all sorts of work that often gets labeled as unskilled. These work forces are built over time and new people are integrated into them as necessary. You can't have abrupt absolute turnover without a complete halt to production even if you had legions of willing workers.- 8738 replies

Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
Bojack replied to MaybeACoordinator's topic in Daily Texan
This is true of Dotard and many other powerful people these days. To a great extent, they're just credulous dumbshit consumers of right wing media. For instance, when someone finally sat Trump down for a few minutes to go over healthcare policy, he comes away saying "nobody knew healthcare could be so complicated." He really had just bought into the talk radio mantra that everything that's wrong in this country is because the libruls and gubment are actively fucking things up and are all that stand in the way of a perfect plan that covers everybody and costs nothing. He found out that any reform is going to involve tradeoffs and won't be perfect for everybody. He hasn't thought about it since. -
I legitimately worry that we're soon going to have para-military death squads running around. For instance, I've dreaded the possibility that we'll have ethnic cleansing somewhere like Springfield, Ohio. Local law enforcement looks the other way. Springfield sheriff on social media: "If you support the Democrat Party I will not help you." I wonder if he'll support those Haitian immigrants or if Trump's new FBI will do anything to hinder right wing domestic terror. No bottom and remember that your worst expectations aren't anywhere near bad enough. We'll still be shocked.

I probably wouldn't even know about the nazi salute if not for Surly. Mainstream media is barely covering it if at all that I've seen. When they do, it's like this from NY Times: "Elon Musk Ignites Online Speculation Over the Meaning of a Hand Gesture." CNN.com doesn't have a story about it on their front page. My phone's news feed has nothing of Elon nazi salute. I clicked on a Buzzfeed article: "14 Awkward Moments From Donald Trump's Inauguration." None of the 14 are the nazi salute. Several people in the comments wonder why it's not included. Everything points to more fucked than even the most cynical of us realized. Our press is either non-existent or complicit. Why the fuck does no one cover this shit? https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/20/us/politics/elon-musk-hand-gesture-speech.html -
Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
Bojack replied to MaybeACoordinator's topic in Daily Texan
I know there's no rock bottom. I know. I accepted that a while back. Still, I find myself surprised at just how fucked things have already gotten. None of you ledge dwellers can tell me you thought we'd ever have the richest person ever throwing up nazi salutes at a fucking presidential inauguration. Anybody even remember what used to be a scandal in this shithole country? Adjust your expectations downward further still because we are truly fucked. This unelected lunatic child is going to be in charge of slashing the social safety net as he gorges on public money to add to his hundred of billions fortune and he just twice threw up a nazi salute at the inauguration of the president of the fucking United States. Remember this shit? This idiot soccer player that got banned for life for throwing up a nazi salute? https://www.cnn.com/2013/03/18/sport/football/football-greece-katidis-nazi-salute/index.html -
You like jokes do ya? I got a joke for ya. Bunch of Surly posters all sittin' around in a labor camp, all wondering "how did we get here?"

Joe Biden 2024 thread - Dark Brandon Where Art Thou?
Bojack replied to StassneyHorn's topic in Cloak Room
Hopefully those procedural protections provided defendants hold up but the point of the coming circus isn't necessarily to secure convictions or other penalties. It's for the spectacle of the investigations and Gym Jordan's hearings, to further muddy the waters and enable low information dipshits to say "derrr, they all a bunch of crooks" as Trump and the oligarchs practice unprecedented corruption in the open. -
I've so wanted to see him on this tour. I was still in high school when the Pixies split up originally. I saw Frank Black solo probably 8 times from '93 to '01. For most of those shows, it was strictly solo stuff. He finally started to play some Pixies songs in some of those sets. At last saw Pixies at ACL in'03 or whenever and have seen them several times since. In recent years, I've missed seeing the Frank Black solo stuff. I may yet do what I gotta do and make a trip to catch one of these dates. Doesn't look like they're adding anything else and it's not coming anywhere near Texas.
