Dickey’s...I had a mediation a few years ago in the building where they have their corporate hq or training center or whatnot. In the lobby, they had a crew of management trainees doing corporate gobbledygook cheerleading. It was so, so sad. As I walked by, I really wanted to say “all the positive attitude is well and good, but how bout y’all just serve bbq that doesn’t suck?” But I didn’t. Idiot,

You see the path, and the danger....yet you steadfastly support the guy tossing gasoline on the tribalism fire...head shaking, man. Truly amazing.
We’re going to fucking burn, because even though we know we’re going to burn if we do this shit, we’ve got enough folks saying “yeah, let’s do this shit!”
Humanity is perpetually intent on destroying itself. Eventually, we’ll get it done.-

Exactly. If you can’t win an argument with a moran, how can you expect to persuade an idoit?
This is Murica. We don’t just persuade idiots, we elect and celebrate them. -
Liberty is kinda cool.
Libertarianism is batshit.

We have to be able to see them to track them, and you can't see shit from earth unless you are on the dark side of the planet, so until we launch a telescope toward the sun facing the earth, the best we can hope for is 50%.
You, ummm, are aware that we travel AROUND the sun, right? Like each year....for exactly a year? So, if you want to see what's out in space from the perspective of the other side of the sun....all you need to do is wait till June.
Also, in terms of being close to extinction, I think we're just 2-3 more major innovations in sex-bot technology away from that.

Yeah, I think running anti-Trump ads with pro-Trump money is a bit too dangerous.
Just run pro-Trump ads with 10% of the pro-Trump money. Run ads talking about the dangers of Latin American immigration and how we need to build the wall and deport all immigrants. But run them on Univision and Telemundo and in print at the local supermercados.
Run ads talking about the dangers and waste of government bureaucracy and how you want to end taxpayer funded medical care and only by electing Trump can we possibly end Medicare. And run those ads in print at senior homes.
I DO like this.
33 minutes ago, Tuco said:They aren't suppose to coordinate with the campaign. They are intended to issue based, that just happen to always support the same candidates. So, if you set up a "Make America Great Again" PAC, I don't know how it would be illegal to start running anti-Trump ads. What a great test of a fucked up system. Flip the technicality on its head and watch the assholes complain about it.
But I also like this. Look, my PAC's mission is going to be "to make America great again." I'm dead-honest on that. I just think that the way to do so is to get Trump and all Trumpkins out of office, and banished to an island with no communications with the outside world.
So, contribute to my PAC, and I will spend all funds on political activities geared towards making America great again. And sure, I'll run ads about how AOC has threesomes with muslim terrorists and MS-13, because sex sells. But I won't be making any promises about what I'll run the ads for.
I want to get rich off of morons. That's EASY. And I want to use the morons money to attack Trump and his ilk. Also super-easy. Let's get on board with this; shit, I may have changed my mind, I may LOVE this country these days. I've been so worried about how we're all getting fucked, I haven't spent enough time thinking about how we can be the ones to do the fuckin'.

My view is this. This board, or any other for that matter, does not need morons posting things that are demonstrably false. If they were just espousing a different viewpoint that would be one thing and it would be worth trying to understand that point of view.
This is a full-blown cult that is hell-bent on getting rid of every brown person possible. None of these disgusting Dotard supporters deserve any kind of positive thoughts or benefit of the doubt.
This.
Any Trump supporter who wants to have an honest discussion or debate, go for it.
Anyone who traffics in lies and falsehoods -- fuck off.
The fact that there are very, very few Trump supporters who do NOT traffic in lies....well, that speaks volumes. The overlap is damned near 100%, and it's exactly how you kill a Republic. I sure as fuck won't be an accessory to its murder.

That's why you set up two grifts. One pro-Trump PAC and one defeat Trump PAC.
I don’t think you even need to do that. I’m gonna set up the MAGA Freedom Eagle 2020 PAC. Will be marketed with memes about AOC coming for your guns with her socialist army of Muslim MS-13 members to tear down The Wall. All funds raised will go towards two things: 1) paying Brisketexan Consulting, LLC, for its incredible strategic management services, and 2) anti-Trump campaign ads.
Tell me how that’s a losing proposition. You can’t.
This country is plummeting to hell, but I can at least siphon off some cash on the way down.-

Maybe Cosby shouldn’ta drugged and raped a bunch a women, then. Just spitballin’ here. -
It's been much, much, much worse than it is now.
World War II was a fucking catastrophe.
Of course it’s been worse. Your point is meaningless, if you believe in linear time.
It’s not about where we are, it’s about where we’re headed.
Things weren’t so bad in 1912. Or in 1930. But they were headed for some real shit. We’ve actually seen this series of plays being run before. It ends in hypernationalist idiocy and the violence and cruelty that belief system makes inevitable.
Much of the world is effectively saying “hey, let’s do that whole 1895-1945 thing again, but this time we’ll get it right.” We won’t. -
And I had to get the post of the season onto this page. Laugh rep is so inadequate.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Solstice!
I like the season because for whatever reason, some of the humans in N. America chose to brighten the darkest part of the year with lights and gifts and joyful greetings. It's a wonderful expression of a moody species creating their own light amid the darkness. It works as a metaphor for believers in Christ. I'm not of their number, but I'm fine with that.
The holiday should be totally inclusive. The only requirement be that you add light in whatever way you wish.
Again, why do some people have to make things that are easy and fun difficult and hostile?
Because people are dicks and they suck.
I mean, in case you hadn’t figured that out. -
I know it's been mentioned but I still can't get over how incredibly tone-deaf the Thomas J. Henry commercial is where he leaves his million dollar house, climbs into a chauffer-driven Rolls Royce, pulls up to a private jet, hands his briefcase to an underling, sits down in luxury, and stares intently out the window... Never once acknowledging any one else around him with even a glance.
Yeah, that's the guy I want to give money to for legal representation.
Lots of stupid people think that having wealth means you have great merit in whatever you do. So the richer you act, the better you must be. I ain’t saying that’s correct at all - I’m just telling you how a lot of American consumers think.-

Further proof that boomers don’t give a fuck about this country. The most selfish generation !
Seriously. The coming demographic wave of 1) young voters (shit, even including old fart Gen X types like me) and 2) more heavily minority voters bodes very ill for Republicans in the medium to long term.
That should give us hope, right? WRONG.
What it tells us is that there is no way that shrinking minority will ever give up power. They will not only continue to cooperate with, solicit, and happily accept foreign interference, disinformation, and propaganda, they’ll double their efforts and weaken any protections we have against it. They’ll disenfranchise so many voters it will look like Jim Crow again.
They are not going to give up power peacefully. Ever.
This will end in blood, because they will never allow it to end in ballots.-

I'm a proponent of a national slavery museum, on the scale of the national holocaust museum. For me this would accomplish several things. Yes, a place that never lets us forget but more importantly that this is and should be in our past. It also would educate those who may not know more of the stories and tragedies such as the one in this thread. I'd say D.C. and somewhere in the south should be where they should be located.
The sin didn’t end with slavery.
Jim Crow.
Lynchings. Pogroms murdering and running entire populations out of town.
Dogs. Fire hoses. Beatings.
Rodney King. James Byrd.
10 year prison sentence for a black kid, white kid gets probation.
Do we want to “perpetuate a victim mentality?” Of course not. But you know what MUST come first? 1) Confess our national sins. 2) Go and sin no more. Shit, it’s freaking biblical it’s so clear.
Here, in THIS nation, we must do those things as they relate to THIS nation. Not what happened to someone in Egypt 1000 years ago, or even in Pakistan or China last year. No, what happened here, by us. That’s all. That’s how we the people - all of us Americans - actually heal and live together. It won’t work right until we do that.

You know there is no answer to how far we go back to recognize people were discriminated. I guarantee there are people on this board that received benefits especially in education that weren’t held back from people of color. Or non-white people were legally not allowed to emigrate to the US until ~50 years ago. At least the numbers were kept at extremely small compared with Europeans.
no one is asking you to give away half of your wealth or future income but you’re barely willing to acknowledge it happen.
This. There’s no path to peace and healing in any relationship - and this country and society is absolutely a collective relationship - without acknowledging the pain caused in THIS relationship.
That’s where it has to start. It’s not about self-flagellation, or punishment, or any of that. It’s about opening our eyes wide, seeing these truths (like Tulsa), and not looking away. Seeing what they did. And having EMPATHY for our fellow Americans, who suffered greatly at the hand of other Americans. Acknowledgment. Empathy. That’s how you begin to build a truly successful relationship and community. It’s basic humanity.-

How does one fully acknowledge and what is this "we" shit? I'm for it happening so everyone can move on.
I am where I am in life in part - for better or for worse - because of my parents and grandparents and great grandparents circumstances. That’s true for all of us. For many of us, that’s a pretty favorable position. For others, it’s unfavorable - the grandson of sharecroppers is less likely to be successful than the grandson of a doctor.
And for that matter, generations of institutionalized racism still manifest themselves in everyday actions (law enforcement is an easy example).
Black people got fucked in this country. By slavery. By Jim Crow. By open murder and genocide. By brutality and cruelty in the civil rights era. By a legal and law enforcement system that still carries many markers of that history, and behaves that way. Telling them “hey, it’s all cool now, what are you bitching about” is jaw-droppingly awful.
There are literally people alive right now who are not as well off as they would have been had their successful and prosperous grandparents not been violently run off of their property in Tulsa that day. And Tulsa is not an isolated incident.
If WE ever say words like this is MY country, WE won WWII, etc....then we also own this shame. We are a nation, and we are all in this together.-

A glimpse of history shows the worn out justification that was used: black man accused of harming a white woman. You almost have to believe that those excuses are created after the fact or were used to start an action everybody wanted to take anyway they could.
In thinking about it, I'm reminded again about how Texas A&M is like a time capsule of bad things glorified as good things. All of the riots they started and violence they caused in other ways is always justified by a defense of innocence or the weak.
I didn't know about this massacre or the Slocum massacre.
It makes me sick that it happened.
It makes me sad to read about it.
It clarifies Black rage. This also makes clear why seeking out Black History actually has more of a purpose than I allowed for. My ignorance must support an African American's sense that nobody gives a fuck about what makes generations of American Black people angry and, necessarily, afraid.
I've been embarrassed as a white man that Blacks are treated different in so many subtle and unsubtle ways. Seeing this kind of history covered up or, worse, justified in any way, allows me an inkling of what is behind the way some black Americans feel when when they receive a different look or the hint of suspicion.
They hanged us, shot us, called out the National Guard and bombed us on a city street.
People are alive today who have heard the stories first hand from the survivors. How stunning that the story would be doubted (I would have doubted it) if related outside of a group of people of color.
It happened more than once, you know.
No, I didn't. I'm pretty ashamed of that. I'm ashamed the white people making decisions decided to hide it from my white suburban boy ears. I could have used the insight. I'm tolerant of anybody who doesn't hurt anyone else. I could have been more empathetic had I known these things.
At least we could count on a comic book to preserve and speak important history where scholarship and educational decision makers have failed us.
I don't like living in Idiot World. I can't really very well imagine what it's like for people living in Scary Violent Racist Idiot World.
Edit: Oh, almost forgot:
But, you know, blacks people should just get over it, it’s all cool now....say people who live on a little plot of land their grandparents owned...say people who have lived in the same town safely for generations....etc etc.
Until we fully acknowledge and admit our sins, we will never get past them. And that’s not going to happen. We’re going to keep that poison in our body politic forever, because we’re too cowardly to own it and puke it out.-

Couldn't listen to more than 15 seconds of that. I would love to be put in cage with that fucking pencil neck. Not that it matters but that dude looks more ethnic than everyone in my family and we're Mexican.
Nuremberg.
Gallows. -
You know, it’s the little things that make the parallels to the Nazis so perfect. Like the fact that the “thought leaders” of the movement are complete social and intellectual rejects. These guys are fucking losers of the highest order. But they figured out how to band together, and play some other idiots for fools, and here we are.
It’s improbable that a band of fucking losers would take over a country that most observers would think is sane....but we’ve seen it before.-

So are we gonna need a truth and reconciliation commission like Germany did? Because I think we will.
Fuck that. We’re gonna need a Nuremberg. And some gallows.
