  1. Until they go full January 6th X100....it's all just noise. The regime has told the people there is only one way to stop them, and is openly daring the people to do it. That's the play. They figure that their appetite for blood is greater than that of the American people. They're probably right.
  2. Shit, what do you do with all the Canadians living here in the US, and vice versa? And for that matter, Canada is in the commonwealth. What does the UK do if the US attacks Canada? By the way, that's my one real hope of averting such a stupid move: UK military officials having conversations with their American counterparts about how disastrous it would be for the UK and the US to got to war....and we WOULD have to go to war. Remember, the UK will follow its duties/obligations over a cliff when it comes to entering a war. And yes, I've already had conversations with my American children living abroad in the UK about contingency plans if the war happens. Again, this is so beyond stupid, it can't be measured by any instrument humanity has devised.
  3. I hear that's what happens after you hook up with the wrong Tech coed and don't get penicillin in time.
  4. Our Democrats would never do that. Too close to a dirty word. The closest we'd get is "I'm looking for Amanda Huginkiss." Nope, wait, scratch that - that's kinda homophobic. Maybe "I'm looking for a Hugh Jass. Has anyone seen a Hugh Jass?"
  5. BUT BRAYDEN HAS MAJOR LEAGUE TALENT! IT'S JUST THOSE UNFAIR PITCHES THEY ALLOWED FROM THE OTHER TEAMS, WHAT WITH ALL THEIR CURVE BALLS! IF YOU WOULD JUST THROW HIM FAST BALLS, YOU'D SEE HOW HE'S A FUTURE HALL-OF-FAMER! [All of this is shouted from out the window of a shiny jacked up F-350 that has never gone farther off-road than hitting a pothole in an Applebee's parking lot one time]
  6. That was my counterpoint. We get an insurgency. We get counter-strikes in the US. And, we may well get at least partial mutiny within US military units, as well as possible outright secession of US states that are not willing to go along with such bullshit. Not inconceivable to see the West Coast go. Hawaii could be interesting as well.
  7. Oh, and just chatting with a friend who is an international relations expert, and something of a gov't insider. He puts the chances of war with Canada and an invasion of Greenland at the level of "near-certainty." He's not wrong. Buckle up. We're about to go invadin' ERRBODY.
  8. He's not even approaching for the purpose of actually cutting ANYTHING that's actually wasteful. He is engaged in performative bullshittery to cause maximum chaos, because when there's maximum chaos: Nothing he does is complex. Nothing. They are straight-up-the-middle running plays, exactly as laid out in the fascist playbook. - Do performative shit to get praise from the idiot masses. - Cause massive chaos and destruction in doing so. - In the midst of the chaos and dust, grift, rob, and steal.
  9. No argument on any of that point. Europe whistled past the graveyard hoping their greatest threat....wouldn't be their greatest threat. Although it also helps that Russia fully bought and paid for some key European leadership...Gerhard Schroder's deep "personal friendship" with Putin (I mean....pay me $1 million a year like Putin paid Gerhard, and hell.....I could be a friend to you, too) helps a lot, for example. Russia does not have lots of cards. But they brilliantly played the ones they had (corruptible European leaders, naive Euro people, and a near-endless supply of cheap gas). Until they fucked up and went a bridge too far in Ukraine. That said, had the invasion gone as planned (and Ukraine and its government fell in a week).....it all would have kept working.
  10. Oh, I get the bowling pin effect. I just don't get the layout at the bottom -- there's a white semi in between the wrecked cars. And there are wrecked cars behind it. If the wrecking ball semi came through and scattered those cars, that makes sense. But how did what looks to be another intact truck end up between them all?
  11. Yeah. Until these assholes face much greater consequences, this is middle school fart jokes. Papa John's won't move the needle. Luigi will. Those are just true facts. Stupid that we're here, but here we are.
  12. Cool. How many of them are supporting and funding an ACTUAL NAZI, IN CONTROL OF THE US GOVERNMENT, TODAY? What's that? None of them? Yeah, fuck off, Tesla bros. Burn in hell with your nazi god.
  13. Oh. Fuck. Although I still don't understand how there are wrecked cars on both sides of the semi at the bottom.
  14. Huh. PNG'd because he spoke the truth about TFG and Elon. What happened to "FREE SPEECH ABSOLUTISTS?" Huh? I do wonder what happened to all of those folks....crickets chirping....
  15. So....which one did the hitting, the semi or the box truck? Because....the box truck is out front. Honestly, I'm diagraming that scene in my head, and I can't make sense of it. Wrecked vehicles on both sides of the road, flanking the semi....but stuff wrecked in front of it. Or maybe the emergency crews moved vehicles all around for access already.
  16. I-25 between LV NM and Raton is closed due to high winds as well.
  17. Oh, and awesome. The truck driver's name is Solomun Weldekeal Araya. He ain't no real 'murican. So, this story is 100% going to become one of how a dirty immigrant killed 5 people......and 0% about how Amazon and Bezos privatize all gains and by using contractors for everything (with all of said contractors being LLC shells with no assets and the bare minimum insurance required by very generous laws passed by lawmakers owned by industry), but socialize the losses of multiple ended/ruined lives. That'll be a real nice topper to this awful story. It will be an excuse to further demonize and punish "the other," but in no way will it be used to even SUGGEST corporate accountability.
  18. You know those random texts from random numbers you get that are just "Hello," and then if you reply, they act like a chick to try to rope you in and get you to send them money or some shit? I instantly delete every single one of those that crosses my phone. But I delete every Dem fundraising text even faster. Fuck 'em. Why send ammunition to someone who's just going to throw it at the enemy if they even bother to do that much?
  19. Well, per the current definition, it's "any taxpayer dollar that doesn't go to paying/subsidizing an enterprise owned by Elon Musk." That's it. That's the whole definition.
  20. I have no doubts. Query: do you think that issue (waste/cronyism) will get better, or worse under this regime?
  21. Look, man....some folks had weekend plans.
  22. No worries. Per our Director of HHS, I'm sure that emergency air drops of cod liver oil are forthcoming.
  23. 1) Defense spending has its place. National defense is literally one of the core missions of any State's government. 2) It should be purposeful defense spending, as opposed to wasteful/just handouts to cronies. Our defense spending has long had problems on both the waste and handout fronts. 3) Any crippling of CURRENT defense contractors will have ZERO, NONE, NADA effect on our overall defense spending. Why? 4) Every dollar not spent on missiles from Raytheon or jets from Lockheed will instead be spent on Tesla Robotanks and SpaceX SuperAwesomeMegaMissiles, and AI robot mechazoid COOLBOT3000's from XRobotics (to be founded this week). Anyone who thinks that anything the Trump admin does is actually aimed at reducing grift and payouts to cronies is among the most delusional people the world has ever seen. Every single thing the Trump admin has done tells you that their highest focus is funneling taxpayer dollars into the pockets of the regime and its loyalists. Hell, even the cruelty isn't actually the point - the DISTRACTION that the cruelty creates is the point. While sane human beings are busy seeing and decrying the cruelty, and trying to ameliorate the effects of it....the regime is busy shoveling every taxpayer dollar it can into its own/its friends' pockets. Again, not a novel play.
  24. At this point, our only shot is for 1) invasion of Canada, leading to a hot war, which 2) leads to mutiny among members of the military and/or secession by multiple states that will not go along with the madness, leading to 3) civil war, and then 4) maybe when it's all over, and we've only used 3-5 nukes on our own soil, we can slowly reconstitute ourselves into a functioning nation with 5% of its former prosperity and power. I'm thinking that's our BEST case scenario, FFS.
