  1. It's when the design aesthetic supercedes the functionality. See Balenciaga. Sure, it's pretty but does it work.
  2. There are two kinds of VW owners. Ones that will only have VW and those that won't ever get another one. I'm in the second group.
  3. I don't give a shit if they cut off aid for Ukraine here. It has lit a fire under the Euros. Trump can deny the money to our defense contractors but it doesn't matter to the Euros. 20 countries ready to get that sweet sweet cash. And Lavrov isn't happy about it. Fuck off and die you absolutely horrific pos. --- The plan, spearheaded by the UK and France, was set out by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer at this weekend's summit of 18 European and Canadian leaders, and would work to uphold any ceasefire in Russia's war on Ukraine. Russia's foreign minister Sergei Lavrov said such a move "can't be allowed" because it would amount to the "direct, official and unveiled involvement of Nato members in the war against Russia". https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c2017v5ngxpo
  4. I saw Eisen and his 5 rumors yesterday. Notably absent was the talk of Sanders being "arrogant" and "brash" in some of his interviews or his 3 word reply of "How u know" when asked about it online. That's the slippage I'm expecting. Going second to the Browns? Yeah I don't think so. Tomlin takes him late? Not sure about that either. I don't think Tomlin will put up with his shit and I don't think Sanders will stoop to being a Brown. I wouldn't touch him. I can see the Jets taking him because they are run by a teenager but I don't know who else will be giving him a serious look. Listening to Bob Sturm talk about him yesterday he called his 10 yd plus passes awful, but strange things possess the football minds on draft day. I think he's toxic.
  5. The chair of the House GOP's campaign arm told Republican lawmakers Tuesday to stop holding in-person town halls amid a wave of angry backlash over the cuts undertaken by President Donald Trump's administration. Rep. Richard Hudson (R-N.C.), the NRCC chair, delivered the message inside a closed-door meeting of House Republicans, according to three people granted anonymity to describe the private remarks. https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2025/03/04/congress/gop-town-halls-richard-hudson-00210024?fbclid=IwY2xjawI0Ea1leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHefWd1xDCfd5u2lOUmtPiFg6FCP1lmSYWr41Zp8LPx-29CVF428knnd3OA_aem_vDKuy6ywnf5asZf_wBPRQQ
  6. If you get any dumber we'll have to feed and water you twice a day.
  7. Least surprising combine result ever. If that delusional old man wastes a draft pick on him I'll celebrate the acceleration of the chaos that will accompany it. Plus it'll make for some great radio on the little ticket.
  8. Bingo. He gains nothing by feeding Trump's ego. Don't waste one second on him. Go to Starmer and Macron and get what you need. The Czechs ramped up the donations to buy the Blackhawk after Trump was a dick to him.
  9. Senator, I think you might want to check out the Euros.
  10. I wonder how many of these conversations are being had.
  11. @Fastbreak Because Reagan told them Government was bad in Mississippi in the same place where they shot people for registering black voters. Because LBJ called it right. And because Atwater knew how to stoke the racism without saying the n word. Because Willie Horton and Welfare Queens. They want to hurt other people and they are going to be in the same target area. Fucking conned and too proud and hateful to admit it.
  12. Don't care. I replied to Bozo on that earlier. At this point I just don't give a shit. We're looking at real fucking damage from the repeated firings. These idiots will probably be suckered into voting against their own interests AGAIN. He could have just as easily replied in the appropriate thread that's easily a dozen pages iirc I'm fucking pissed off. They are too prideful and ashamed to admit they have been played. They wanted Medicaid to be taken from brown and black people. They wanted to see people getting fired in places full of Democrats. That ain't how it's going is it? So, there ya go. That's what I am here to discuss. He can stay on topic or keep getting negs.
  13. Is there anything about this that addresses the Trump voters that got fired? No. It's bullshit to distract from the fact that people that voted for your party are getting their lives turned upside down by a heartless bunch of neo Nazis. So fuck off
  14. Fuck off. You waltzed in here with no intention of staying on topic. Address any one of the posts dealing with Trump voters getting shit upon by the party they voted for and I will engage you. You're a noxious windbag.
  15. You came in here and started threadshitting. Bozo stopped replying. Have some more negs.
  16. Peters’ job included replanting forests with young saplings, and he said he put in “100% effort all the time.” Supervisors were apologetic when they called to fire him, explaining that his name was on a list handed down by the federal Office of Personnel Management. A follow-up letter contained the same terse message that was sent to at least four colleagues in Peters’ roughly 40-person office, and 3,400 workers across the Forest Service: “The Agency finds, based on your performance, that you have not demonstrated that your further employment at the Agency would be in the public interest.” Peters feels betrayed by politicians he helped put in office. He voted for Trump in November, impressed by his vows to bolster the economy and slow immigration across the southern border. “If I had known that this was going to happen,” he said, “I wouldn’t have voted for him.” https://www.greatlakesnow.org/2025/02/trump-firings-hit-great-lakes-sea-lamprey-program-michigan-forestry/ The news came in an email from the acting administrator of his agency. It said that it would not be in the “public interest” to continue further employment, citing his performance, “For this reason, the Agency informs you that the Agency is removing you from your position,” the email further stated. Because they are concerned about possible retaliation and a likely appeal to the Merit Systems Protection Board, the couple asked WTOP not to use their names for this story. ___ The termination is complicated by the fact that last November they supported Donald Trump when he sought the White House for a second term. “I voted for Donald Trump. But this is not what I was expecting,” he said. “We didn’t think they were going to take a chainsaw to a silk rug.” https://wtop.com/virginia/2025/02/this-civil-servant-and-veteran-voted-for-trump-now-hes-out-of-a-job/ “The letters are willfully incorrect and to our belief in NTEU unlawful," Berman told NBC10. "They say essentially 'your ability, skills and performance do not make you a fit for federal employment. In addition, your performance is not up to par.' This is patently untrue. These are being all issued with the exact same wording to every single one of these probationary employees, whether they have just gotten out of training and had no performance metrics. Whether they have been here for almost their entire year and had very good performance appraisals." ___ “You know when he talks about government waste and all that, yes, I’m behind it,” McCabe said. “I believe there is a lot of stuff in the government that needs fixing. And that’s part of the reason why I actually wanted to work for the government, actually. To help change. Help change the things that are wrong in the world, you know? I thought that someone with his business acumen would have come in with a fine-tooth comb and actually found it instead of coming in with a wrecking ball and destroying people’s lives for no reason." https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/philadelphia-irs-layoffs-firings-union-president-trump/4114738/
  17. GODDAMMIT drag his bullshit over to the proper thread. Don't engage that fuckhead. He's too lazy to find it for himself
