  1. Hahahaha Zelensky must play counterstrike or something. "Suka blyat" is a common refrain from slavs
  2. This is a bitch ass telling a warrior he should fear the bully with bone spurs. What absolute horse shit.
  3. I mean, you don't pass an amendment to the constitution without something being extremely popular. The nanny state and "knows what's best for you" usually happens after that popular opinion sublimates into a norm that's vigorously enforced by social conservatives. At least, that's what happened with the temperance movement and eventually prohibition. edit: I realize that's a massive oversimplification of the dynamics behind prohibition lol. Just trying to make a point
  4. So things went swimmingly. AMERICA IS RESPECTED AGAIN! Absolutely shameful that that schlub is shit talking a brave wartime leader. Zelensky has been just straight disrespected this whole trip to the White House.
  5. This is trump getting mad because he feels entitled to being paid back for America's expenditures. He is transactional. He believes that because he controls the capital expenditures, he gets to decide how things go. If anyone benefits, HE deserves to benefit too. It's the business growth mindset. Thank goodness we elected someone to run America like a for-profit corporation! It's going to certainly improve liberty and freedom for our fellow man.
  6. We may need a wreath fund for Ukraine at this point, if Dear Leader decides they're ripe for plundering for mineral rights
  7. Hey @realgreggym can you tell us more about the adults being in charge? I remember you being pretty enthusiastic about that
  8. C'mon now, trump just wants to grab em by their mineral rights.
  9. Ah fuck, the goddamn Houston Rodeo is gonna be fucking super spreader event. Maybe even get some bird flu up in there too for good measure.
  10. Imagine the asshole who threatened and tried to backmail you 7 years ago, coming back and calling your defenders cowards and you personally a dictator. It's a wonder that they're only yelling. Zelensky cannot see trump as anything less than a colonial power.
  11. White House meeting happening right now between Zelensky and Trump. It's not been very polite from the American side.
  12. This is America attempting to assert itself over what it views as a colonial holding.
  13. uhhhh.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prohibition_in_the_United_States
  14. 'member when $4/doz was considered outrageous and worth lying over? https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-politics/jd-vance-eggs-kamala-harris-b2617527.html
  15. God Bless the American Economy. May she ever consume our future for a more comfortable existence for America's most selfish generation.
  16. It's almost like that unnecessary price gouging and record profit taking during late COVID does, in fact, have consequences. Markets are mad that line isn't going up like it used to during the pillaging, and wage earners are simply tapped out.
  17. I'm sure Alex Jones can find a home for them, especially now that he's gotten over all the """lawfare""" ( @Frank Drebin let me know if I'm using that right) he was facing for speaking the truth about the sandy hook families trying to take your guns away
  18. Thinking back to my late dad, the memories that jump to my mind are the smell of fresh cut grass on an autumn afternoon and going to sonic after soccer practice for a brown bag special. You're right on the money that it's the time around the sports that I remember more than the sports
  19. Funny story, I saw a fuckin hard mountain dew in the beer aisle in HEB a few weeks ago Seems an inopportune product launch lol
  20. I'd say it's more the sickness of our fucked up markets finally metastasizing and impacting our political process. Ultimately, a major factor in voting trump was the presumption of it making you personally a boatload of money. Now, those idiots did get scammed as you describe, but they are suckers for that bait
  21. Heartbreaking episode
  22. Down to $39.8B now https://treasuries.bitbo.io/microstrategy/ Seems like there's a strong floor at $80k right now, but never forget
  23. I strongly recommend the auto-frother function on the plus! Every morning my normal flow has been: pull a double shot for my wife's flat white steam the milk with the auto-feature while the milk is steaming clean the basket and prep the next double shot puck assemble wife's flat white make my coffee and steam my milk And it'll all get done in 5-10 minutes depending on how much attention the baby needs. Freakin' wonderful just being able to push a button and do other stuff! ... When it doesn't break after like 1000 drinks made lol
  24. The Bambino Plus, the auto-froth feature actually works surprisingly well. It's never perfect, but it's always at least a B+ if not an A in terms of foam and texture
  25. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stagflation crazy how much of this is self-inflicted market uncertainty too
