  1. Actually tracked down a recap on CNBC (https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/24/tax-revenue-collected-by-the-irs-set-to-plummet-report-says.html😞 So maybe not complete bullshit, but I'm skeptical that people would be this aggressive with their taxes - perhaps I'm just being naive, though.
  2. Yeah, I expect better from Rachel. Delaying receipts (what I would expect is the reality) is not the same as "more or less light[ing $] on fire." That piece from TPM / Josh Marshall seems to be just inflammatory dogshit that should not be passed along at face value.
  3. This is SOOOO worth a listen. My favorite part is here: So fucking spot on - we really are living Idiocracy. Just waiting for Elon to unveil "Brawndo for plants" and mandate that it be used on all U.S. farms once we burn all of our trade relationships to the ground.
  4. If this is an accurate, fuuuuuck ... I guess the partners gotta protect that $6.5m PPP, but if I'm an associate watching the firm agree to provide $40m in "pro bono" work for these gangsters, I think I'd start shopping my resume around.
  5. Fucking amazing ... "Yeah, we only lost one of our 5 kids, so it's definitely not that bad ... and she woulda been fine had we upped her dosage of fucking cod liver oil." See, this is the part of world history where we need the well-intentioned Bond/Mission Impossible villain to use this weaponized stupidity to cull the herd so that maybe, just maybe, we can avoid the pending environmental apocalypse.
  6. Aaaaaand how many of these lazy MFers are going to bother to vote in 2028? None? Yeah, well ...
  7. Kinda fitting that one of the worst stretches of road on the planet might end up bearing the Trump name. I mean, if they want to go there ...
  8. Shit, it's that easy to jab him in the face with something on a stick?
  9. Fuck it - just let Oklahoma literally burn.
  10. Keep waiting for the NSA and CIA to "fix the glitch" here, but nothing. Is it too much to ask that we wake to the news that Elon was found dead after a ketamine overdose (or perhaps polonium poisoning or defenestration to provide some poignant irony)? So much for the deep state ...
  11. ... but rest assured that regardless you'll pay 3x as much in increased costs due to tariffs (while the rich folks somehow end up paying even less as we eventually gut any progressive taxes in favor of regressive sales taxes / tariffs).
  12. Holy shit - I don't think this is going to turn out well for the protestors once the ICE brownshirts show up.
  13. Well played, Canada. Well played ...
  14. QFMFT ... I was told by the GQP that Russia just wanted a buffer between themselves and NATO, and Ukraine's ambitions of joining NATO were the cause for Russia having to "defend itself" by invading Ukraine. You're telling me now that Russia wants to be "on the border with Poland"? The hell, you say.
  15. Well, it's a good thing I'm not in Democratic leadership, but look the fuck around - the majority deserves all the contempt and disdain I can muster right now. I think some pragmatism is warranted, and the reality is that your "just market better" and "infect the GOP propaganda apparatus" (btw - are you a fucking mgmt consultant?) isn't the Rosetta Stone that you think it is.
  16. I think what you mean is that the Dems should market to the single-issue morons and the monsters of our society - unfortunately, the Rs have a monopoly on them, and they have to be fed with the type of malicious bullshit that we're seeing now, so uhhh ...
  17. We're talking about a citizenry that lie their asses off about (or have no real clue) what they really care about. Kinda difficult to market to the average U.S. citizen unless your party is willing to lie its ass off with the goal of scaring or infuriating them.
  18. Come on now - what used to happen was more like Lester Hayes with stickum, Astros signal stealing, Deflategate shit. We're dealing with full-on Calvinball - or more accurately, something like this:
  19. Nice - I got some kick ass ideas to run by Big Balls, starting with making sure that he has set up his "BigBalls@doge.eop.gov" alias ...
  20. Looks like she was trying to hold her breath, as one does when Dotard rolls through with a full diaper ... Also putting out strong Arrested Development vibes at the end:
  21. See - now this right here is how Elon ends up getting himself killed.
  22. ... and Canada will want to help their NATO allies, but will need to keep the powder dry to prevent an invasion from the U.S. Yes, we are.
