This. We have spent decades creating, cultivating, and magnifying the very worst of humanity. That won't go away just because they realize that Trump is a crooked dick. In fact, that revelation may well deepen their devotion. The American people love mean, malevolent dickheads who hurt "the other." They are getting what they want and love.
Also, the wife spoke up over Xmas and told me she doesn't like the El Patio chips -- they're too "bubbly-fluffy." She likes a sturdier chip for her queso snacking. So, back to the On the Border cantina style or the Casa Magnifica for us.
Remember how all the Trumpists constantly freak out about "THA DEEP STATE!!!!"? I remember. Add it to the pile of shit they were never actually concerned about, and are truly just fine with, so long as their Orange God is doing it. They have no principles. None. Not a single one. Other than "whatever the Orange God wills." They are a demon-worshipping cult of hate and pain. And they are going to bring around the end of civilization and possibly humanity. Yay.
Yeah we can. Form Democrat ICE. Nab all these people off the streets as illegal aliens. Ship them to offshore foreign hellhole prisons within 90 minutes. When the Supremes try to tell us to stop, tell them either "oops, too late, they are already in a hellish prison on Devil's Island, outside of our jurisdiction," or tell them some version of The Rule of Law is for suckers. The rules have changed. Play by the new rules, and play to fucking win.
Counterpoint: we live in a world where MTG is speaking more rational, common-sense thoughts than 99% of our other leadership. We live in hell. Like, actual fire-and-brimstone, Satan-in-charge, HELL.
This. It's bad enough that our society is charging headlong into indulging and celebrating the absolute worst humans doing the absolute worst shit. But no, we actually have to elevate those actions and traits to the level of qualifiers for leaders of society. At this point, if you do NOT have some horrifically fucked up views like this, you simply don't have what it takes to be part of American leadership. This society is on the fast-track to self-immolation, and at this point, the only sane reaction to that will be
Neither one of us took pics, but I made my dinner…and then my daughter nodded, approved, and made the same. Cut up chunks of leftover brisket and smoked turkey, reheat. Bowl of Fritos. Top with meat, some Franklin bbq sauce, some Louisiana sweet hot jalapenos, serve in cardboard boat, eat with spoon.
This is absolutely zero surprise. If you were to design a society to maximize our cumulative stupidity as quickly and intensely as possible, it would look EXACTLY like what we have right now. We are pursuing it with a passion never seen on this earth before.
First, it’s “slower than molasses in FEBRUARY,” you commie. Second, @immamac , it’s not our internet. Page is SUPER slow to load. And dcbc and I don’t live together. Not anymore, at least.
This. Cult gonna cult. And those of yall thinking that the gullible stupid idiots won’t stop being gullible stupid idiots? Dude. We’ve cultivated, watered, and covered with Miracle-Gro the largest gullible stupid idiot crop the world has ever seen. It’s a bumper crop that will carry us through multiple generations. They aren’t going away.
The bit I love is the “we live to serve Israel” crowd is ALSO contorting itself to conclude “but let’s not be rash, there’s also room in the party for Nazis who think that Jews are vermin and should be exterminated!” Cognitive dissonance writ large. The GQP is literally the party of simultaneous fealty to Zionism and violent anti-semitism. It’s amazing to watch, as they embrace both without an ounce of irony.
The dumb thing is the rich Jews who think that aligning with the regime puts them “in the club” and will protect them in the long run. Nope. It makes you (1) a useful idiot for the time being, and then when it all falls to shit, (2) among the fattest, ripest targets for the State to go after. Confiscating billions and distributing it among the regime’s insiders and friends? That’s a standard play of authoritarian regimes. Your dumbass things they won’t run it on YOU? Fucking. IDIOTS.
The boy and I just goofed off and went to Pinballz for a coupla hours. He now owns the high score on Pac Man. I own it on Missile Command and Tempest. And we tied for the high score on Sea Wolf. Then, we figured out which ticket games could be gamed, we did so, and he cashed out tickets for a drone. Then picked up church’s spicy and okra on the way home. That’s a good evening any way you cut it. Glad to have him home.
