  1. Give us time, we'll turn this into a cross between the Ewers thread, Jade's chili thread, and "chicks Vic Mackey would dig" thread. And it still won't even come close to matching up to the real-world shitshow unfolding before our eyes.
  2. You want to know who was instrumental in agreeing to, putting together, and then executing on the plan known as the "Final Solution?" Unelected senior appointees of the administration. Unelected senior appointees of the administration. If you want to know where evil comes from, look to where the planning and orders came from. In both that past and our present, look to unelected senior appointees of the administration as the responsible parties. Looking fucking RIGHT AT YOU, ELON, YOU RACIST FASCIST FUCK WHOSE SOLE ACT OF SERVICE TO HUMANITY WOULD BE SELF-ADMINISTERED LEAD POISONING.
  3. However, those payments can be processed through the Mar A Lago "payment center" for a low, low, 20% transaction fee. Or some shit like that. Look for the grift/scam. You WILL find it.
  4. blah blah blah, the cruelty is the point. Kid should have chosen her parents better. Not sure when everyone is going to grasp that "the more utterly cruel, the better" is our entire national ethos right now.
  5. I love the idea that authoritarianism regimes stop when the people they are shitting on tell them to stop. Sure. There's a first time for everything, I guess. And by the way, "protest" has already been defined by this admin as refusing to purchase a product (see the statements from the regime pronouncing the decision not to buy a Tesla as an "illegal and collusive boycott"). Fail to buy regime-approved products? Instead buying products from companies disfavored by the regime? That y'all think that authoritarians will just go a bit far, and then stop.....well, that's a take. One not based on any historical precedent, but sure. If thinking that way brings you comfort, have at it. Just don't delude yourself into thinking it's based in reality.
  6. Yep. Just tourists, checking out the sights. Isn't that the "January 6th play?" Peaceful tourists, just checking out an important landmark related to our beloved President.
  7. Who cares? In fact, the more public violence the brownshirts commit, the better. Make them be lawless fascists in the full light of day. Because they won't stop at merely arresting these people (as is their right). They'll beat them for fun, to make a point, to set an example, and to "teach them a lesson," all of which is outside what they are legally permitted to do. Make fascists be fascists for the world to see. It's an important step.
  8. FIF accuracy, because the entire purpose of the Federal Government is now to serve Elon's and Trump's personal whims and emotional outbursts. It is a fully-owned toy to them, and that's it.
  9. BUT.... ^^^^ This. ...he posts as the administration has already suggested that protests against the activities of an admin insider and one of its biggest supporters will be deemed "terrorism." The relentless response of "nothing is wrong until the final, irrevocable action of the authoritarian regime happens....by which time it is much, much, MUCH too late to do anything about it" is consistent. We suggest over and over that we really ought to put out that fire that's burning before the winds get much stronger, and the relentless and unwavering response is "it's not that windy right now, and Pacific Palisades has been around forever -- it's not going to burn." It's so maddening to watch this unfolding before our eyes, when we all know how it goes.
  10. Well, but your message board slight (which I took most personally, and will go on a neg rampage about forthwith) raised a legit point. A lot of people actually have an opportunity to make a real difference - more than just yelling online or in the streets - via their daily work, either professional or personal. Use your position to push back, to tilt things the right direction, or even just to throw some sand in the gears. It's important.
  11. I will suggest that as a member of the bar, I do work that I will never discuss on a public message board, consistent with my ethical duties and restrictions. Thus, if you think that the only thing I am doing with respect to the future of our society and government is posts on a message board, you are incorrect. And for the stated reasons, I will leave it at that. I will suggest that most people, in their professional or personal lives, have things they can do to resist, put sand in the gears, take a counter-offensive, etc. Many of those measures can be quite effective, especially as part of a concentrated and coordinated effort. Take advantage of your position and the opportunities it presents. And know that it is likely that the rest of the world won't see what you do in the light of day because you are not doing it performatively for cameras or TikTok or shit like that.
  12. What I find fascinating is that Trump has managed to unite much of the world like no other POTUS before: most of Europe, Canada, Mexico, much of Latin America, Africa..... ...now, how he has united them is in their hatred and resentment of the United States. But hey, let's not quibble.
  13. What I don't understand is how DOGE isn't being DROWNED by FOIA requests from news outlets, members of the public, etc. It is unquestionably part of the US government. It thus is subject to FOIA. Demand.....EVERYTHING.
  14. Well, the inputs (purposeful cruelty of the ignorant masses) ARE predictable....so my response certainly should be. That's the point. We are running time-honored plays. They are proven to turn out the exact same, predictable way. And the only way to turn away from those plays is the way that it's happened before, thus making THAT path predictable. That's my whole fucking point. Nothing new is happening here. We're walking down a well-worn path, with well-worn pathways. We KNOW where we're going, and we KNOW how this ends. Yet....we're doing it anyway. Which is so, so, so fucking stupid and self-destructive.
  15. Clearly, that's Biden's and Zelensky's and DEI's and the Deep State's fault. Russia can't help it. This will result in our regime doubling down on its punishment of.....Ukraine.
  16. This. It is absolutely a way for people/enterprises in the regime's favor (and favor can be purchased for the low, low price of a $20 million "reservation" at Mar A Lago or somesuch) to obtain special treatment (hey, YOU don't have to pay the tariff). It's a path to grift and bribery. All roads lead to grift and bribery. That's how regimes like this work. But folks like Ana, who are TOTALLY against corruption, and think we need to "burn it all down," think this is fantastic and brilliant and 20-D chess. The fact that adult humans cannot see the obvious in front of them continues to amaze me, no matter how many times it happens.
  17. Oh, and of course, let's not ignore that our AG and leadership has openly stated that they are looking to take a case to SCOTUS to overturn Lawrence v. Texas, which if accomplished (and under this SCOTUS, chances are high), will immediately criminalize same sex couples from engaging in oral or anal sex. Not later, not after debate, IMMEDIATELY, because the law is still on the books. But, you know.....touch grass. Just make sure you don't touch ass of someone of the same sex, or you could face decades in Huntsville.
  18. Sure -- we're not to throw the gays in prison yet.....but we are ABSOLUTELY at the "make being trans a felony" stage: https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-politics-and-policy/texas-bill-identify-transgender-state-felony-rcna195642 They have told you who they are, and what they intend to do. You should believe them. Because they have followed through pretty much every damned time.
  19. Oh, “jaded” doesn’t even scratch the surface. I believe that humanity is beyond any redemption, and that we fundamentally like it that way.
  20. "Make mercury emissions great again" is certainly a position.
  21. Fuck him. I hope he loses it all and dies of despair. They have declared war on all of us. And as their God Elon tells us, empathy is evil. So, none of you fucking Trumpers gets to say "oh Brisket, where is your empathy, where is your humanity?" You fuckers took it out back and shot my empathy, and then raped its corpse, laughing the whole time. Empathy is for those who deserve it. As is suffering and torment. He chose....poorly.
  22. I had a buddy who did the same. In no time, we all made fun of him because we saw his bare ass on an episode of The Red Shoe Diaries.
  23. Oh....that's the price for the first couple of years. Then, once you're locked in, and all possible competition is vanquished, the full enshittification of raising both prices to $19.95 and $25.95 respectively, falls into place.
