  1. I mean.....that bluesky post is 100% true, so yeah....that gif is the only sane response. Jesus Christ we are so completely and totally fucked.
  2. She was probably exposed to a molecule of human decency, and it was a catastrophic shock to her system.
  3. Sounds like maybe a suicide. That's just sad no matter the cause.
  4. I mean, I guess if he'd fucked someone from out of town, his review woulda been on Tripadvisor.
  5. I was right then, I'm right now.
  6. If the current regime in Iran collapses, the one thing I can guarantee is that our current Regime and those connected to it will be single-minded in their attempted profiteering, angling for power/control/wealth extraction, etc. In short, if you think it was bad when we had NATIONAL interests in getting our grubby paws on a country's riches, wait till you see completely amoral and criminal oligarchs with full control of our military, laws, power, and diplomacy doing the same.
  7. Man, my record on this board is pretty clear as to owning the stupidity of some things I did/believed in the past (e.g., I thought "trickle down" economics made some sense, etc.). But I think my lucky stars that the quoted was NOT one of my youthful mistakes. I appreciated pretty much ALL of it....can only think of a couple of hard rejects....goddammit, now that I think about it, I regret the hell out of both of those hard rejections. Idiot.
  8. But...wouldn't they have to touch him to do so? Shit, that's something Ted's own wife won't do.
  9. I mean.....you've seen the candidate lined up to replace Ken Paxton at AG, right? In this timeline, a default conclusion of "it only gets worse" is not irrational at all.
  10. At least they are honestly stating what we've known there position is: there is no judicial review, executive action is absolute power, with no checks on it at all. In short, we do not have a president, we have a king. And I mean, a pre-Magna Carta, pre-Parliament king. A "Single ruler acting with unchallengeable divine authority" king type.
  11. I do find it fascinating that many of the same folks that are clamoring for EU-style regulation of food dyes and ingredients, the "MAHA!" types.....are opposed to a similar GDPR regimen here. Both would be really good ideas that would substantially improve the quality of life in America.
  12. This. You can't remove item 1 without having a damned good plan to replace it with item 2.... That said, having a plan and executing it are two different things. Odds are, it still ends up like Regime change is tricky fucking business.
  13. "As per my previous utterly deranged email.... [Trump words] ...Thank you for your attention to this matter!"
  14. I'm just glad this thread specified SOUTH Korea. You know, to differentiate it from all our "North Korean tourism" threads.
  15. I see more of those. But I see even MORE of the "BE PATIENT - STUDENT DRIVER" stickers. On cars that are obviously being driven by a fully licensed adult driver. I think they're just bumper stickers that really mean "I'm a shitty driver, so I needed something on my car that makes it look like I have a reason to be a shitty driver."
  16. Any given female, if you give her enough lead time. That's my educated guess, at least.
  17. Bottom line: 1) Everything that he promised that requires competence and skill (e.g., negotiating tough diplomatic issues, resolving wars, etc.) -- FAIL! WHY NOT DONE? 2) Everything that he promised that requires nothing more than blunt force and stupidity (tariffs, sending out the Gestapo to kick down doors) -- he did exactly what was promised. This is the Trump way. Promise to do all kinds of stuff, succeed only in doing stupid/clumsy/cruel stuff.
  18. Kremlin receptionist: new phone, who dis?
  19. Fuck him. He made them. He kept them up for days. He is an irredeemable piece of shit, and he's also the true voice of his party and its supporters. He just says what they all think and want to say. He should have been punched in the fucking face, and he still should be. if you posted that shit about any of my friends or loved ones, I sure as fuck would lay you out and dare your sorry ass to file charges.
  20. Job offer from ICE incoming.
  21. You’ll get Jared Kushner in a sport coat planning a beach resort and like it.
  22. Wembley Coldplay tickets acquired. Spent…a lot. Oh well, it’s an experience.
