  1. I always love a defense of "have you seen us? NOBODY would be stupid enough to listen to us."
  2. That remains a disputed matter.
  3. Asked him what prompted this epiphany. He and his wife have been involved in refugee assistance for many years. They are conservative and a bit bible-y, but they do walk the walk. He’s a moral guy, so he never had any good feeling for Trump, has always thought he’s scum. But this is a turn for him.
  4. Interesting timing, just got an out-of-the-blue text from one of our cousins (married into wife's side of the family). He's military academy-educated, served as an officer, and has worked in defense-adjacent fields for 20+ years (no, I don't know exactly what he does, he can't tell us). My reply was because his text followed an OLD exchange about, well, dinner. This cousin has long been a "I know it's bad, but it's not THAT bad" guy. He's smart as hell, an engineer, and on the conservative end. He bailed on the GOP a while back, but reluctantly.
  5. Trump will just gargle the appropriate Saudi balls, hand them half the value of the Venezuelan oil business, and all will be well. Stop thinking like a world leader, and start thinking like a criminal. Then all of this shit makes perfect sense.
  6. Also....follow the law! Respect borders! Right, MAGA? https://www.kvue.com/article/news/local/man-detained-near-mexico-border/501-ac708c99-4413-4339-a60e-81e0b60e2edf?tbref=hp "You come to our country, you have to respect our borders and our laws." Right, MAGA? Oh, and "detained near Mexico border".....fuck that namby-pamby misleading bullshit. He was detained IN MEXICO, ON THEIR SIDE OF THE BORDER.
  7. An entire ecosystem run by Nathan Thurms:
  8. Well, in the near term, won't it make oil prices go up? A war would likely shut down much of Venezuela's oil production and shipping, right? One thing is for sure: figure out the best insider trading options on this play, and watch them for movement. Sharp movement will tell you that regime insiders are using their information to profit before imminent military action goes down. That's a 100% guarantee.
  9. But you earned your "tipped the stripper" badge long ago....
  10. Just light a match near any Surly poster's ass at a tailgate, and you'll get similar performance.
  11. Cool. OH THE FUCKING IRONY.
  12. There's a whole manual out there. For real. Like, particular rules and procedures for peaceful demonstrations, designated persons in safe positions with a roster of participants (so all can be accounted for). They will even hand out color-coded wrist-bands for those who are okay with being arrested, those who will leave on being told they will be arrested, etc. Resources are available online, and you would be well-served by consulting with them, and/or participating with an organized group (there are many civil and social justice organizations actively involved).
  13. From your lips to Satan's ears.
  14. But, I mean....she gets to keep her "Alabama Teacher of the Year" title, and deservedly so.
  15. I mean, the source problem here is that Kash is solely a sub-par sycophantic social media influencer who was suddenly put in charge of one of the most complex apparatuses in the world -- a challenging mix of legal, intelligence, and law enforcement functions/challenges. And the often unrecognized fault with such people is that they are SO incompetent that they've never had access to real power (or wealth) before, so when they are handed the keys to the kingdom, they can't HELP but abuse it and loot it for personal gain, like an undisciplined kid given the keys to the candy store. And in terms of running a complex system, it was like putting a monkey at the stick of an F-35; it was always going to crash, it's just a question of when and how. The fantastic thing is that the rest of Trump's "hires" are little better. Kegbreath, Bondi, Homan. Incompetents and grifters. Literally the only thing they bring to the table is complete, slavish loyalty to Trump. Which, not coincidentally, is the only attribute on the planet that he values. I will stick with the source yiddish, thank you very much.
  16. I mean, that gal sounded exactly like the measured, sane, rational MAGA types we all know and love. But I quibble very, very strongly with one thing. She said Gretchen Whitmer has an ugly butt. I strongly disagree. From what I can tell, she has a lovely and tasteful age-appropriate tuchus. So, that was just uncalled for.
  17. A concoction that works for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
  18. The irony of Flynn bitching that someone "committed crimes against our country." In any other functioning state, Flynn would have been publicly hanged long ago, for actual fucking treason.
  19. Yeah, there's really no other way to read that, is there? Fucking funny as hell. "These assholes insist that our FSD system 'not steer cars into oncoming traffic,' and 'not run over and kill pedestrians in crosswalks,' and all kinds of overly burdensome regulatory-sounding bullshit. We are a freedom company!"
  20. Yeah, I don't understand such old-fashioned terms. Next thing you know, we'll have to hop on the next jitney to 23 skidoo outta here and find a new place to live.
  21. Yeah. But $1.99 for a "gravy flight" sounds fucking magical.
  22. Hey, Candace might be on to something....Just released new security cam footage capturing Kirk's assassin in the act:
  23. Our answer to the dumbass Venezuelans who voted for this shit: ....and not the way they want it to.
  24. When you realize that our state is run by unprincipled spineless cowards whose sole source of self-satisfaction is punching down.....the conundrum checks out.
  25. Yes, we would. Because we are not a functioning country anymore. We are a crackpot kleptocratic autocracy - a real outsider among developed nations these days. 2025 can have "has her own show," or "member of the cabinet," or any number of wacky shit like that.
