  1. A new co-worker I have out here came up and introduced himself on my first day. We were talking and I am telling him why I moved out here and that it wasn’t necessarily to live on an island. Once I mentioned World War II he relates to me how he is not a big fan of Patton or Monty and whatnot as he is talking to me about Europe while also talking about the old pillboxes around the island here you can hike to. The reason he was talking about Europe and that Patton got too much credit was because his great-great uncle is Anthony “Nuts” McAuliffe. We are the same age and you can 100 percent tell that he’s a McAuliffe and not just because it’s his last name. At a certain point in life I chalked up all of these seemingly random meetings with folks as not being random anymore, this one included. We talked about Bastogne for a bit and that he is the first generation in the McAuliffe family to not join the military. I had another visit with someone two weeks back whose uncle was among the Army Rangers at Anzio which is a an entirely different American war experience altogether.
  2. ‘Merica, that’s what.
  3. Absolutely this right here. A coward in the Oval Office is busy firing off tweets blaming DEI or whatever he feels like having a grievance against today and our media just nods and takes notes. Pete and folks like him are going to have to do the heavy lifting. He is what a president should sound and act like. I guess now it can be said that not only did the votes of 77 million plus people have consequences, but that one of them likely contributed to the deaths of a few dozen Americans.
  4. We’re getting snow! Okay so only the tops of the peaks are, but I have always found this to be pretty cool, even if it’s not a rare event. Mostly it’s just something we were never taught to associate Hawai’i with when you learn about it growing up elsewhere. https://weather.com/forecast/regional/news/2025-01-29-hawaii-rain-snow-storms-flood-forecast
  5. Real shame. Perhaps you will go and join her you imbecilic, half-witted, penis shaped head having moron.
  6. I think again these things come back to what are you willing to live with. If you are willing to take what’s coming and feel that financially you won’t be affected then stick it out and wait for however many years until this ends. If you have a young family you are probably just going to have to eat this sandwich and hope for the best. If you are older and are not in that situation you might should have been/still looking now for places to go. At this point I would even put into play using the Free Association Agreements and look at countries like Micronesia or The Marshall Islands as places to live at that Americans can go to. Will you be living at the level you do in America right now? Of course not, but it comes back to you have one life and spending it dealing with a government hellbent on making life exceptionally difficult for the part that is an “enemy” isn’t going to be a good time. Most of my reason for leaving and heading away had almost nothing to do with this, but I have a buffer at least between the mainland now and the nut jobs.
  7. He ought to have a ninja star that he can shove right up that guy’s backside.
  8. It’s probably a good time to remind folks who have been considering moving out of the US that now might be a good time to do so. At least move somewhere far enough removed from this idiocy that the effects of our current government won’t be as harsh on your life. The advice given to me by more than one person on here that I am now far enough away from the craziness in Washington has been spot on.
  9. Look at this. This is what racist white trash looks like. He should be face down in a dumpster because he went on a two week bender after losing his job selling used cars. Instead he runs the defense department. This idiot, more than any other idiot in charge now, is emblematic of everything wrong with the United States. Mark Milley should be firing this guy out of a cannon right now for fun. Instead this living, breathing example of the lowest form of life we currently have on display is trying to inflict pain on a general because he had the temerity to say what a complete and total loser his god king is.
  10. The cost isn’t the point. Inflicting pain is. This will disproportionately hurt kids in urban areas.
  11. Mexico will be footing the bill. Don’t worry the orange god king is in charge here so what could go wrong with this?
  12. That guy really, really deserves to fall in an abandoned mine shaft. That he says that out loud and just doesn’t care is so inherently despicable. Screw these people. There is not enough awful stuff that can happen to people who screw with a kid’s ability to eat that cannot afford it.
  13. Thanks again to the idiots on this very site who voted for this. A piece of racist trash wants to try to take away a star from a general he isn’t fit to live in the same country as. Good job ‘Merica.
  14. As far as I can tell we are all free to voice our opinion of the people we regretfully share a country with. My thoughts on these people used to be kinder until they doubled and tripled down on idiocy with their orange god king. There will come a day that if this goes on long enough that states like California, and even Texas for that matter, will want to stop propping up the citizens in 3rd world states (Even if Texas does align with them on ideology you still reach a point where cutting them off sounds great). Because Turtle.
  15. Some states are the Pirates and A’s. Just let these states die entirely on the vine. Let those bootstrappers show how tough they are or let Darwin win again. I am okay completely with the states like Louisiana and Kentucky just no longer existing.
  16. Nauru being on that list is one of the funniest things I have seen in a long time. If you are not familiar with Nauru (and why would you be unless you really, really, really enjoy and love South Pacific history like I do) go and read up on them.
  17. I want that cop to get the Presidential Medal of Freedom from the next Democrat to be president. Have them be the guest of honor at the 1st State of the Union speech. Any other officer that serves his or her country in this manner deserves the same reward.
  18. One down and a few thousand to go. Most worthwhile police shooting ever.
  19. Thank any morons that might be your neighbors or family members that voted for this. Corruption has been part of government since human beings decided to form them, but this is 3rd World Dictatorship levels of storefront window corruption. If Democrats ever get all three branches back I want them to be 100 times as ruthless in deporting every single person that voted for this straight to North Korea and, if they’ll take them, Mongolia, where they can be sent right to the Gobi Desert.
  20. A drought happens when Canada refuses to turn on their faucet.
  21. Death, taxes, rough end to every good Bills season into perpetuity…etc.
  22. Just imagine how much that would’ve been worth when he was braving that winter in Valley Forge with the Continentals.
  23. It is really offensive and I have said that I find it offensive to have to have this moron on the spectrum that millions of others and myself are on. I do not like hearing about his autism because he makes the rest of us just trying to live a peaceful life much harder because too many people think all autistic people are the same. In conclusion I guess I just hope he goes away and I don’t care how that happens. He’s a complete embarrassment to the rest of us.
