    Wait, so there were actually idoits saying all those people didn't actually denounce Trump?
  2. wood
    Yeah, I mean ... was Dr. Nick just not available, or what?

    Is Argentina's economy what we're shooting for?
  4. wood
    Yes.

    Just saw that 8 of theSandy Hook families backed the Onion's bid.

    This story about the Onion buying InfoWars sounds like a story they'd write themselves. I guess in a way, they actually did.

    I'm a little surprised I didn't see this posted...but I didn't, so nsiap. The secret auction is over ... and the good guys won.

    So, speaking as a fairly financially-illiterate person, I'm sure there are downsides to having to report that account. What are they?

    Dude. You really can't be this stupid. This has to be an act.

    100% this. Throughout all of this I keep thinking back to some of the real shitty assholes we've had in various high positions of power who would never, at least not so openly, flaunt basically every law or structure we have in place to limit their powers. For sure, some have tried to 'paint outside the lines', to much lesser degrees than what we're seeing now, but even then, they attempted to hide it and still weren't trying to, effectively, fundamentally destroy the Union. Much or all of what this crew openly says they'll do is stuff that none of those assholes would have even tried in secret.

    100%. I remember back in the day in the fire department when the Chief of the department appointed a Lieutenant to Assistant Chief of the Fire Department, skipping 4 or 5 ranks. Everyone's immediate reaction was the same. Sure would be a helluva fall from Asst. Chief pay back to Lt. pay, right? Better do what the man says, or else.

    These appointments are nuts, even for Trump. Utter freakshow. I'm not saying this is what's happening here, but if the Russians had run a 50 year sleeper program to take over the White House and the cabinet, it seems like it would look a lot like we're seeing here, except it probably wouldn't be so obvious and ham-fisted. This is weird, wild stuff ... and just like his campaign, you couldn't make this shit up. If you were writing a political thriller, even if you did imagine this stuff, you'd never write it, because you'd think "I can't write that, because it's so stupid that people would just stop reading".

    Good. There will still be some true Republicans in both the House and the Senate who won't sell out to the more extreme MAGAts. Hopefully they can hold the line and be Trump's guardrails for this term. The MAGAts will deride them and call them RINOs, but anyone who's been paying attention knows who the real RINOs are.

    I'm sure this isn't news to many of you, but re: the deportations ... in Trump's first term, his own policy actually increased the number of undocumented criminals staying in the U.S. by de-prioritizing their removal. Not only was 'Deporter in Chief' Obama deporting a lot more aliens than Trump was, a larger proportion of those deportees were criminals. So really, the 'undocumented criminal' problem was exacerbated by Trump's own policies. He created his own grievance, then got the Bipartisan Border Bill killed, and ran against Biden and Harris using as ammo a problem he exacerbated before Biden ever took office. And the rubes fell for it 100%. Why deportations actually dropped in Trump’s first term https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/11/politics/deportations-trump-presidency-what-matters/index.html

    In order to properly rep this, we need a "crying" or "sad" emoji that we can use simultaneously with the laugh emoji.

    He says he was 'joking', referring to people worrying about germs obsessively. Sure, Pete. Your potential future SecDef in action ...

    So DeSantis gets to appoint Rubio's replacement in the Senate? Ah, ok. Now it's pretty clear why that little fucker Rubio got an appointment.
  20. wood
    Dang, man. I was in Navy ROTC at UT. I probably shoulda thrown my hat in the ring for SecDef, too.

    No idea what he pays, but he certainly could pay that and not sweat it at all.

    I'm guessing they like the smell of Slim's money. It would actually make sense, at least for next year, if Slim is paying them the same or more than the amount they're losing by not winning the WCC.

    Welp, that's it. I thought my VPN was disconnected, but I checked again, and it wasn't. Turned it off. Now the videos play fine. Gracias, amigo!
