  1. "Some" drugs. 50% "average" discount. Licensing fee paid or use of Trump name - almost certain.
  2. This is the techbro paradise that we've asked for, and they are delivering it in spades.
  3. I guess we saved that part of your timeline for your adult years. So you've got that going for you, which is nice.
  4. Just following up on this. Expecting the head of the FBI to be tweeting in real-time every detail they find on the Michigan LDS shooter. What? What's that? He's not? Gosh. I just can't understand why that is.
  5. And so much this. It's not just that we're absolutely taking a wrecking ball to this country in every possible way. It's that we're doing so for no fucking good reason whatsoever. It's goddamned collective insanity, and presuming that when it's all over, there is a world left in which books are written, the book on the self-immolation of the United States is going to be one where future readers put it down and say "that can't be true. That can't be what really happened. Not a single bit of it makes any sense."
  6. I know it feels naive. But, we also know that there ARE a shitload of senior officers who do indeed remember their oath. These are people who got a real education, went to West Point or the Naval Academy. They are not suckers.
  7. We live in a world where there is no way to tell the difference between his actual words and satire like this. It's fucking insane.
  8. He's a fucking lying psychopath. I mean, and not little lies. Huge ones. Insane ones. And there are people on this board who think that's leadership.
  9. There is a very high chance that last night, when a few of these guys got together in small groups to share a glass of whiskey, there was a very brief comment of "we all remember our oath, right?" They nodded, and that was that. There MAY have been a couple of even smaller side conversations about "so, we have some ideas about what to do if we get an illegal order," but even those conversations were very short and to the point I'd suspect. And it's absolutely this - that's not how it starts, but it's 100% how it ends. He wants to deploy the military against Americans. Again, let's get that very plain and straight: Donald Trump is champing at the bit to deploy the United States military, with orders to use deadly force, against Americans. He is an existential threat to the Republic.
  10. Fucking this. And social media has already become overwhelmed with AI garbage -- bots and spam accounts sending it all over, and then idiots (you know, your parents' generation who 25 years ago were forwarding every stupid email they got) amplifying and boosting that AI garbage. "Here's an inspiring post/video about some celebrity/hero/whatever"....that never actually happened. The tech lords are rapidly making internet spaces suitable only for idiots who fall for AI bullshit. It is even further distilled idiocy. Before, the internet was distilled 90% proof idiocy....it's approaching 180 proof at a breakneck pace.
  11. No ATC? What could go wrong?
  12. So....what did this do to TSA last time? I'm flying Friday and Sunday, and I guess I'll build in extra airport time.
  13. He's a dork cosplayer addressing real, honorable, career military. How else would you expect it to go?
  14. Dude. I’ll go with him as a date. And I put out.
  15. Oh. My friends. It’s so much more than that. They’re coming for Griswold v Connecticut too. So long, birth control. Interestingly, even though it absolutely fits in the line of cases he hates, he didn’t mention Loving v Virginia…which protected interracial marriage. Gosh. It’s a mystery why he left that out. Seriously, though…they’re coming for EVERYTHING.
  16. Man…but look at all of those shaving trimmings.
  17. Every accusation is a confession. I sweatergawd, if/when this era ever ends, I am going to lobby for an “every accusation was a confession” monument in DC. It’ll be like the Vietnam wall, except each line will be the name of one of these evil hypocritical pieces of shit.
  18. Yep. The Finnish war museum has a deal all about that.
  19. Just cuz you're into batshit crazy Brewster Buffalos doesn't mean you need to lash out.
  20. Every day, there are dozens of forks in the policy road. When this admin reaches such a fork, the admin asks "what would a pointlessly cruel dick do?" Then, they do that. Not 95% of the time, but 100% of the time. Because the only metric of "we're getting stuff done" is "are we hurting someone?" Punching down is easy, but also a path to success. Because when they hurt people, anyone of any decency -- so....libs -- cry out and say WTF? Why? Stop that! And that means they "made libs cry." Thus, they won. They accomplished the only goal they have.
  21. Not that I don't love a P-51, but I was always more of a Corsair man. 2000+ horses. Sexy beasts.
  22. This. Find a piece of shit white trash dude who can't keep a job and hits his girlfriend, and ask him what he does...."well....sometimes I do drywall work. But really, I'm a cage fighter!"
  23. Yeah, there's something to be said for that. At an Austin FC match last year, Gina Chavez sang the anthem. And goddammit, I teared up a bit. That's MY anthem, for MY country. It belongs to all of us. And if a fucking hispanic lesbian -- so utterly hated by half our country for no fucking good reason whatsoever -- can stand up their and sing it, and own it, because this is HER country too...then goddammit, I can own it too. That's the hell of it. I love this country. I am a real, actual patriot. Not a performative lying piece of shit. How can you claim to be a patriot but hate half the people in this country for no good reason, be okay with sodomizing the Constitution, and support installing a monarch? Fuck them. I'm a patriot. I believe in what this country can be, that it can be better, that it is capable of moving forward. I've got generations of my family standing behind me who risked it all for this country. We literally fought as anti-fascists. No, the fascists can't have my country. They can't have my anthem, my flag. Fuck them for daring to claim it as they betray it.
  24. Seriously....WTF is that? Goddamn, that's fucking bizarre looking, whatever it is. Like a chupacabra, but a putamaga.
