And for all that, they lost their Empire entirely, their economy was devastated and they ultimately went from the world superpower to a second tier has been.
In WWI, the Brits burned through their human capital.
In WWII, the Brits burned through their economic capital.
That was a one-two punch from which they couldn't ever really recover. Victory, but at such a cost.
There's a lesson in there for all wars - sure, you won....but look at the cost. There are mostly just different levels of losers in war.

Do you predict that it's good or bad that this is even being floated as a proposal?
Trump: "Hey, I propose we rape every woman in the United States!"
Drebin: "I bet he won't really rape anyone, so this is no big deal."
Just. The fucking proposal. Is so far out of fucking bounds that he should be run out of town on a rail.
Truly, this is what I fucking love the most about all of the apologists: "Sure, they PROPOSE doing awful and inexcusable things, but sometimes they don't follow through, so why should we worry about any of it?" How much of a pathetic simp can you be?

I appreciate cheap, trashy women as much as the next guy. Believe you me.
But FFS, if I had umpteen billion dollars, and could functionally be with any woman I'm interested in.....why in the blue fuck would you pick a shitty, overdone, plasticized hunk of junk like that? She looks like a shitty cartoon.
Threadjack over, back to topic: we all fucking told you so. He is going to sell off all of the assets of the United States, every element of the property and heritage that belongs to We the People, 1) to his billionaire buddies, and 2) much of the revenue will find its way into his pockets, not ours. We've been taken over by a fucking criminal, and he's going to do all of the criminal things. Everything that's not nailed down....and even the shit that is nailed down....he's going to loot it ALL.
"I didn't vote for this."
Yes. You fucking. DID.

Also...I'm not the only one who surmises this, right? That being....that Casey does not appropriately groom certain nether regions?
I'm not the only one who sees it, right?
Ron and Casey are loathsome people, who have nothing but contempt for the people they purportedly serve, and they seek only personal aggrandizement and enrichment. In short, they are perfect 2025-era Republicans.

Austin cleans out a homeless camp. 51 people removed....and almost TWO HUNDRED TONS of trash. TWO. HUNDRED. TONS. https://www.kvue.com/article/news/local/homeless/homeless-encampment-govalle-park-colorado-river-wildlife-sanctuary/269-6a8f5743-65b5-48fd-b822-cd1054f013be
We've had this conversation 1000 times, and 1000 ways, but it sure as shit still comes down to "no sane place lets a handful of people fucking destroy the community." Two hundred tons of trash. Fuck that shit. That's 8,000 lbs of trash per person back there. Fucking enough of this shit.

I have an extra pair of tickets for tonight's match v. El Paso. Section 118, Row 9 -- asking price is "free." If you want to see a match with your kid, this would be a good one to go to. You'd have to sit next to me and my wife, and she gets cranky when our team plays like shit, but otherwise, she's pretty nice.

My kids have both messed around with AI generated writing in both academic and work contexts. Both of them are pretty dismissive, saying that it's fine for elementary stuff that requires no real thought (form-letter type writing), but for anything that requires any real analysis, 1) it's not that good, and 2) it is glaringly obvious that it's AI.
Which should probably be something at the top of every high school and college syllabus: if you try to use AI to do your work for you, know that 1) it's not that good (so, it would get a mediocre grade), and 2) it's generally obvious as hell that it's AI (meaning that you'll get a failing grade, because I'll spot it and give your paper an F).

You must hopefully feel bad about your prior posts.
Yall remember when Ana said propaganda was bad, literally within the last day or so?
And then confirmed his undying devotion to Tulsi?
And then do yall remember just now, the 15,348th time that Ana yet again fails to accept his own comical hypocrisy?
I know yall remember. And we know Ana does too. -
Meh RT!
You ran out straight disinfo that would make RT blush. Come on brisket.
Remember, folks, Ana uses the term “propaganda!” to attack posters regularly, as he unironically stans for government officials - not random posters on a meaningless sports board, but actually high-level officials of the US govt - who don’t just spout secondhand but flat-out quote and repost Russian propaganda.
See, he hates propaganda and anyone who he thinks repeats it, except when he openly loves and admires it.
The Aristocrats! -

Racist misogynist rhetoric levered at a LTC that has cleared repeated background checks in service to your country. Y'all are so politically fn brain damaged that you will let this shit slide and wonder why you will be relegated to the dustbin of political history.
Yet not one of us cites RT as authority.
Tulsi, however, does.
Both of those things are true.
Fantastic. -
You literally could not do any worse for this country than what has happened in the past three months. It’s astounding. They do everything wrong.
It’s pure, unchecked oppositional defiance disorder.
“Does it hurt people? Does it hurt America? Then let’s do that!”
It’s not any more complicated than that.
And as a reminder, half this fucking country thinks that’s awesome. We’re shooting our self repeatedly…and they cheer it on. -

My daughter and I were talking last night about places where you can and can’t carry a holstered firearm and we started talking about the woman who shot herself in the parking lot of McBride’s the other day. It’s hard to know what people’s intentions are.
So then we had a great idea. The idea is a gun hat- basically a large cowboy hat, but with one or more holsters on the crown of the hat so you can assert/promote your 2A rights in a highly visible but less operational way with less risk of triggering or scaring nervous people and anti-gun wackos.
Imagine how proud you would feel to be an American when you wear this around:

You arrogant ass…not only will those be the height of MAGA fashion before the end of the year, next legislative session Abbott will make wearing one a requirement for anyone attending a public school in Texas. -

FFS, from the cited website:
QuoteCanada Trade Summary
U.S. total goods trade with Canada was an estimated $762.1 billion in 2024. U.S. goods exports to Canada in 2024 were $349.4 billion, down 1.4 percent ($5.0 billion) from 2023. U.S. goods imports from Canada in 2024 totaled $412.7 billion, down 1.4 percent ($5.9 billion) from 2023. The U.S. goods trade deficit with Canada was $63.3 billion in 2024, a 1.4 percent decrease ($926.9 million) over 2023.
Trade in services with Canada (exports and imports) totaled an estimated $140.3 billion in 2023. Services exports were $86.0 billion; services imports were $54.3 billion. The U.S. services trade surplus with Canada was $31.7 billion in 2023.
So....we sell $435 billion worth of goods and services to Canada....and import a total of $466 billion.....a total trade deficit of a fucking piddly $31 billion or so, or fucking 7%. It's a fucking nothing. That's a pretty goddamned equal trading relationship, and this fucking galactic-level dumbfuck just fucking blew it all up....for fucking NOTHING.
Dumbest. Fucking. Assholes. EVER.

Like the national forests? Go while they're still there.
in Daily Texan
Do you think even proposing selling off our national parks is a good thing or not?
Is there anything this admin proposes that you won't excuse?
