Jesus. Today’s page of this thread FUCKS.

Tracking Trump Administration and Cabinet picks
Brisketexan replied to PenelopeWitherspoon's topic in Cloak Room
These fuckers want a law-free nation state all their own so they can 1) wage economic war on the US, 2) wage information and cultural war on the US, and 3) commit every human rights violation imaginable (child rape, slavery, you name it) with no consequences. Fuck these evil shits. Let them go someplace where they have no military backing, and have any number of countries conquer their asses, try them for crimes against humanity, and hang them. -
That is, one of my favorite terms of this era: "Hapsburg AI." Fucking absolute garbage created by generation upon generation of inbreeding. And the same types standing for the proposition that actually, it's the superior form of existence, and should rightfully control the globe. Fuck that. Inbred imperial bullshit is suited for exactly one thing, literally and metaphorically:

I'm sure that our current regime, which is SUPER-concerned about students being harassed because of their religion, will get right on this. Right?

He’s surely hanging his hat on prices being higher in NY and California. Imagine that….prices are higher in places where people 1) are and 2) want to be. Yeah, I’m confident the cost of housing etc in Squirrel Dick, Alabama has gone up less than in San Diego or Manhattan.

I 100% hit the pig face. Nobody else was. When I went and pulled off some of the cracklings, cheek meat, and one of the eyes (there’s great meat behind it), one of the cooking team came over to me smiling, and said “I wondered who was gonna go for the good stuff.” It was quite well done. Nice crowd, decent enough game, but goddamn…our defense has me worried.

Just black licorice for me. I’ll eat everything else on there. Some items aren’t particularly favorites, but if they’re on my plate, I’ll eat em. Others are absolutely favorites (eg, oysters).

Save the pig face for me. I’m serious. And you can take all those apples and veggies and shit and shove em up your ass, commie.

Yep. Trumps only “authentic” ideology is ego and charisma. He has nothing but contempt for all other humans EXCEPT those who personally impress him with “star power.” That’s it. Ideology doesn’t matter. His narcissism naturally lends itself to some ideologies like fascism, but in the end, he’s about “me love Trump. And me love other people who are stars like me.” Ultimately, that makes them very manipulable by people who read them correctly. FFS, I’ve dealt with quite a few people like this over the years (think CEOs, mayors, etc - there are people like this all over, although Trump truly is the most extreme example I’ve ever seen). Such people need their ego stroked, and they don’t respect anything else OTHER than power/charisma. Intelligence and ideas don’t matter. If you have swagger and can own a room, they like you.

…..in case any of you didn’t realize that ICE is simply the regime’s private Gestapo to deploy for whatever terrorist reason they want. They are one of the world’s largest military forces, created and funded to be deployed against YOU.

When you realize that the modern MAGA GQP is nothing but a mafia enterprise, it all checks out.

And also, a part of me thinks that I'm going to get super freaky with Alexander Daddario this weekend. I mean, while we're doing the "a part of me thinks of absolutely insane fantastical shit" game, might as well go all-in.

You think I wouldn't bang a hot 90 year old? You'd be wrong.

I don't generally disagree with this. And I have a similar story, except it was my mom and her mother, fleeing an abusive alcoholic. In 1950, she had to find a way to survive, and gov't subsidized housing in S. Texas was key to that. Not forever, but for a few years. Once she could dig her way out, they moved on. And the thing is, society as a WHOLE actually benefited from my mom and grandma having that safety net. My mother was fed, sheltered, got an education, and went on to live a good life and raise a successful and productive son....who also posts on Surly (so that part is probably a wash). Yes, there are always the stories of people who take it all for granted, stay too long, etc. There are also counter-stories of deserving people who are just going through some shit and need an option for a time, and none is available. No system is perfect, and we should never let perfect be the enemy of good enough.

We are not your wife, so we are not falling for your empty promises of inches that never arrive.
