  1. You're speaking my language, amigo. The White House tweet or whatever it was represents a defiling of the symbol the White House has long been. He hides in there as he swats at some enemies and tries to get others killed. He's a thing that occupies that house like a tapeworm settles in the intestine. I'd give up that symbol in a second to halt this obscene juggernaut. I believe that reflects your comment about the mall and landing B-2s there. They should tear down Washington's monument. Nothing connected with that man should be near anything connected to this non-man revered by the dupes as some sort of heroic figure.
  2. Congressional Pecker of Honor.
  3. The cruel, dishonest villification of those of color who come to America then work hard to send money to their families back home. I've said for years that I don't know the solution to the immigrant problem (I've lately joined those having a problem finding any problem with it), but I know making these people out to be evil is wicked in itself. It's just the latest version of the national past time of hate. It's not worse than many others born here face. I've just worked with so many of these people over the decades. Just about everyone was probable a better person than I am. Just another obvious wickedness of our evolving evil empire. Sickening.
  4. Clever use of fasces with axe heads, the emblem of supreme power in Rome as a visual detail.
  5. Terrible. I hadn't known this (from People)
  6. Burton's provides a really good way to analyze the portal results. I hadn't really thought of how to make an overall judgment even though his, after reading it, seems obvious. Sometimes that must be pointed out for some of us.
  7. Don't forget to factor in outrage over an idiotic theory of who killed him (natural causes are right out the window in Conspiracy World). In a world where politics for the majority seems to be akin to NFL fanship, imagine the emotional fallout should someone's favorite team perish in a plane crash. A hard core of 40% of adults who have their entire identity, religion (quasi-religion?), and (lack of) values defined by Trump makes a very formidable plurality who will surely fill the world with lamentation, hate, and repercussions against the most powerless entities they can locate. Every vile act of Trump will be codified. It's hardly a matter of how weepy people will get. It's a matter of how tamely the rest of us will endure it. Great question though. Seriously.
  8. No shit, Sherlock. It's not a future this or present that; it's everlasting Idiot World populated by the eponymous and the happy slapdicks, like you, who see something that's been obvious for ten years and readily apparent for decades as some sort of revelation. Congratulations, you're the latest genius of Idiot World.
  9. It's Trump's favorite business model. It's almost as though he's on both ends of the negotiation. To avoid yet another separate post: From @Dr. Teeth (I still love that avatar, btw) They'll find a St. Peter or Paul. That's how revealed religions work. It keeps the original Word (Hate, in this case) and Prophet (Dickwad in this case) holy.
  10. Perhaps a scraped-off mushroom left stuck to the jagged edge of the hole.
  11. Autocrats need not worry about such things. The device for removing him (impeachment) has been disarmed. The method of replacing him (elections) have been corrupted. Trump's administration and auxilliaries putting the axe to so many elements of government that actually serve or employ people pretty clearly indicates his attitude about voters including his own. He's over that. No, he defends the means that give him control and that give his toadies the power they lust after. As in all healthy republics who value liberty, we wonder where the Army stands.
  12. I think we can all assume that this guy: is not a champion of austerity.
  13. Robby KJ and the Stupid Rhetorics! Let's stop all the lies about fetal cell lines. We all know what's going on. These vaccines are made from the left-overs of Dem baby-eating and baby blood drinking parties. If Hillary burps into a baggie, you can use it to generate thousands of doses of measles/autism vaccines. Wake up, sheeple! VACCINES ARE PEOPLE! (Sorry. I need a goofy break from time to time.)
  14. Gulp. Choke. Be honest, Roma. I've long wondered about an economy so dependent on needlessly extravagant gift-giving at Christmas. It's akin to burning money: having jobs we hate to buy shit we don't need. Traditional gift giving of a simple toy or a tie or a bottle of Scotch or homemade cookies had a charm. Mass advertising has turned that charming notion into the Lexus December to Remember which lies at the apex of runaway materialism, IMHO. Advertising turns many of us into fat fucks addicted to cheese and ever-saltier and sweeter foods. I'm not educated at any high level on economics. I just watch. Trump's reasons are as stupid/cruel as usual, but I think I could get behind chopping down the extravagant new tradition of gift giving as an economic engine. It won't happen. Most things I'd like to see happen have just about no chance. I guess I'm the idoit.
  15. Man. 1 Your audience has no idea what you're talking about or how to pronounce that word. That you can spell it throws suspicion on your own Aggiehood. 2 Found in abundance at places where inane tradition trumps all. Thank goodness inane tradition doesn't fit your model. It's the huge proportion of actual soldiers and farmers who have attended A&M for the last 50 years that are the root of your problem. 3 I believe this falls under hopeless traditions. Hide-bound, inane traditionalist (claiming to be farmers and soldiers) morons regularly fail at searches for the right guy.
  16. Man, I'd love to see that post. Aggie self-vision: mililtary genius Ze football is tres much! Quite so. At least we 'ave ze cod' honeur! Don't forget the ring, old boy! The farmer! Hard organized work, this thing will last forever! Who they are:
  17. We wuz humiliated by Aggie baseball, fellas! We only won two of three against them in basketball. That must be a super humiliation for t.u. No we wuzn't rolling in football because we played Vandy and Aggie instead of the Bowling Green Seniors. We had hardly any SEC.... Night games! At least he sees they're sorta Vandy-ish in football.
  18. I know it's bad form to quote one's own post, put I'm taking a part of this one: I have a feeling this is it for this year's Aggies. They were rolling after stumbling then slammed into concrete embankment. The photo looks like one after being eliminated. They have to start all over with the mental part. It doesn't look to me like they can. Also, I wonder if they get the eyeblack from their shineboxes.
  19. You see, we don't see Texas A&M as just another university. We go there to be part of something more than just another student body. We join a great tradiiton of honor and integrity. We have traditions that can seem sort of strange, but it's a very special place. You become a part of something bigger than yourself in College Station. The bond that Aggies feel is magic. You see someone else wearing the Aggie ring, and you immediate know you're with a brother. I can't explain the chills you get at muster.
