  1. Musk needs to drink hemlock. He was a chief creator of this monster. When this is over, his body needs to be one of the many ceremonially shoved onto a hole with a bulldozer. He has created destruction and death on a global scale (yep, see what shutting down USAID has already done). His death will be a glorious moment for humanity. May his ketamine be laced, or may he just finally grasp how hated he is and end it all.
  2. The damage he is - single-handedly - doing not just to the US economy but to markets and economies the world over…is approaching “act of war” levels. Rapidly. We are entering WWIII…and it’s a primarily economic war (to start) being waged by the US vs…everyone else on earth (except Russia and North Korea). The rest of the world is literally under attack by the US. And they will respond. He’s leaving them little choice. Things like expelling US citizens, seizing US assets…those are going to have to be on the table. This is madness. Seriously, it’s not much less deranged than if he launched a nuke somewhere.
  3. Generations worth of work. And we’ll never restore it all. Once the empire is lost, it’s lost. Ask Great Britain.

    Great chances early, then a real shift back to a strong attack with late subs. Kolmanic adds a real spark.

    Was chilly as hell, yet again. So many damn chances, so many misses. Super frustrating. Stu’s save right at the end looked to be a point-saver.
  6. Fuck. Yes.
  7. Like we’re going to have the luxury of choosing.
  8. We’re now fully in the phase where the autocrat actually enjoys doing things that are patently stupid and harmful, because that is the ultimate display of raw power: buttfuck the people in full view, as a “and wadda ya gonna do about it?” display of power. All he cares about is showing that he’s the most powerful man on earth, and cruel and arbitrary displays of power are a simple way to do that. It’s going to get much, much worse. I’m talking about something like “at war with a NATO nation” worse. There are no limits here, and all guardrails are gone. Our only way out is blood. Lots of it. Here.
  9. Correct. If a foreign power was doing to us what Trump is doing, we’d already be at war.

    We picked up Rosati’s (cedar park) last Sunday because we were craving a Chicago style, and miss Mangia. Got sausage, pepperoni, mushroom, and green olives. And gotdamn, it was good.
  11. I’m a simple man, fan of the classics. I’ve shot a Colt and a Browning in the past (my uncle and godfather was an ATF agent, and a Browning 1911 was his regular carry). Prefer a darker finish, but otherwise, I’m just into a reliable, smooth action. What “features” am I looking at other than “goes bang reliably and puts rounds on target?”
  12. So…where would one find one of these .45 1911 bargains? Because that’s literally the final firearm on my “I’d like this but don’t have it” list.
  13. This is a great post. So far, appears to be some young brain decision making gone way wrong. Guys fuck with me, I don’t take shit from them, so I bring a knife with me, and end up using it. Nothing but bad decisions all around. But “unbroken string of bad decisions, by people incapable of seeing being themselves” is our national ethos these days, so where’s the surprise?
  14. Fancy? No. Perfection on a Saturday morning? Fuck yes. Drove through East Bernard earlier this week. Stopped at Vincek’s. Loaded up on their house-made pecan smoked bacon. Maybe the best in the state. Yeah, had eggs with it and all that. But bacon is the star.
  15. Remember when you “rented” your phone from the phone company?
  16. Correct. Skip mockery. Go to inflicting real pain and suffering. Make them lose their jobs. End their schools. Cut off their benefits. Ruin their personal lives. They have declared and waged war on this country. Fight back.
  17. Fuck yes. If you don’t order and consume at least one “full Scottish” breakfast with haggis and black pudding, I’ll punch your grandma.
  18. It’s worse than that. Them spreading a communicable disease and harming others makes them HAPPY. External harm is how you can tell the freedom is working!
  19. Well, I assuaged myself by flipping over to watch the aggy baseball team do its impression of the United States: they just got both run-ruled AND no-hit, losing to Tennessee 10-0. It was magnificent…until I realized the metaphor.
  20. America right now: Just play that on an infinite loop. FFS.
  21. Man, it really did. Remember how we were all focused on it being "The summer of the shark!" because there were like, 4 shark attacks around the world that year? Man, that was like watching re-runs of the Brady Bunch for the millionth time, but then, BAM...RATINGS BONANZA! We've got crashing planes, and explosions, and people falling to their deaths! RATINGS RATINGS RATINGS! ENTERTAIN US MORE! Me? That's the factory floor supervisor's job. Figure the beatings he'll administer will help motivate 'em, too. That's a win-win.
  22. Well, it's a lot like how a bucket with a buncha holes in it is a "store of water." Works fine....so long as people keep pouring more water into it. But once the music/water stops.....
  23. God.....I hate her so, so, so, so, SO much.
  24. Bolded for chuckles. Dear god, all they fucking DO is lie. Their lie rate is greater than the average human's respiration rate.
