  1. That is one of the all-time most irrelevant questions. They don't have to give a shit whether a +10 blue district shoots up to +20, who cares? It's any competitive or at-risk district that matters. AND, it also matters that we won't even see some of those votes for weeks or months -- they'll be tied up in machines that were "seized by the authorities [ICE] for investigation of electoral irregularities." You keep thinking in quaint terms of "votes" and "counting." That's not the game anymore, man.
  2. Dis you?
  3. Only gotta subdue the pinch points in swing districts/states, where Dem voters can make a difference.
  4. I mean, if it makes you feel better, he looked like a total doofus in those ads. So much so that my wife commented "wait....bitch ditched Pescado for THAT dude?" Wait....maybe that doesn't make you feel better.
  5. Never, ever forget this. One of the largest, best-funded military forces in the world has been built up in the past few months. It is intended entirely for deployment domestically. Against us.
  6. Oh my lord. Made chicken sauce piquant last night. Then, had a holiday lunch today with barbecue, deviled eggs, and various sides. And just now in my office.....I almost had to get up and leave, no smell like that should emanate from a living human.
  7. Oh, no my friend....he wasn't an HEB manager. Just a dude who worked the meat counter. And we call him "H-E-Buddy" around here. Right, @Pescado_Rojo?
  8. Yep. We actually stop in to Jason's for lunch on the weekend every now and then. And man, are you spot-on about the difference between their catering menu and their actual menu. The best fucking things on the menu are their muffaletta and their gumbo....and you can't get either on a goddamned catering tray. "Hey, we have an item that everyone loves, that we're most famous for. What's that? You want us to cater your meeting? Well fuck you, you sure as shit can't get the thing we're famous for!"
  9. He's a bible-thumping Trumpist Republican. The chance of him being involved in some sort of sexual wrongdoing is over 100%. Bingo. And who makes the decision as to what is "classified?" The executive branch. So, this is exactly what will happen. De-classify anything relating to a Dem in any way, classify every single word that's even adjacent to mentioning a Republican. Done deal. It's literally that easy. You could see an email where Epstein tells his gal "For this weekend, please procure 6 underage girls for the following men to fuck and utterly degrade: Republican name, Republican name, Republican name, Democrat name, Republican name, Democrat name. Thank you for your attention to this matter."
  10. I don't doubt that it can be done and is done....but...it's done by "states?" The fucking State of Wisconsin is not out there generating AI models (at least, not any models that are out there for public use -- I dunno if the Wisconsin Department of Laundry Services developed an in-house AI functionality for some system).
  11. "Art of the Deal" my ass. TACO.
  12. If you can make a lot of money selling tulip bulbs -- and have a way to exit your position/commitment before the tulip bulb market crashes -- go for it. I have an old buddy who has managed to make $30 million via his crypto company. I ultimately think that when the music stops, the enterprise won't be worth much. But he's made his money, and good for him.
  13. There is a surprising lingering belief that the old rules and systems still exist and apply. We are in a post-democracy order. Not failing, FAILED.
  14. FIF what he will actually do, and it will work, because we are the stupidest country the planet has ever seen, and would still be the stupidest country even if someone started the Republic of Stupidstan and populated it solely with mouthbreathers who can't figure out how many items you can have when you go through the express checkout lane.
  15. Dumbest. Fucking. People. Sheep, voting for the lion as a "protest vote." Goddamn, one of the stupidest electoral moves in American political history.
  16. Counterintuitively, as things get worse, more Americans will seek solace in their hatred of "the other" -- minorities, trans, etc. "The more my life sucks, the more I can blame dirty mexicans and trannies for everything bad that's ever happened to me." Never discount the shittiness, or the volume of shitty people, in this country.
  17. To me, Panera has always been a "I want something decent to eat at this generic middle american airport, but don't have time to sit down at any of the sit-down places here" place. My wife, on the other hand, has actually asked to go there, on purpose, while we're running errands on the weekend or somesuch. But even she was relating that in recent months -- after private equity has inserted itself in Panera's operations -- Panera has gone way downhill. I've never had a meal there that I actually "enjoyed." Their best is always "fine."
  18. And the targeted destruction of the middle class is not just continuing, it's accelerating with purpose and malice. My wife gets market updates on the wedding industry. The observation shared this morning: _____________________________ Insight of The Week Consumer behavior heading into 2026 shows a clear pattern across retail and dining. The market is splitting into two groups, and weddings are moving in the same direction. Here is what the latest retail data signals and how it translates for wedding pros. The Big Shift: Two Types of Consumers Retail performance shows strong growth at both ends of the market: Value end Off-price stores growing Thrift stores up significantly Fast casual dining rising Experience end Luxury apparel visits climbing Fine dining outperforming casual dining High-income spenders remain resilient Who is struggling Mid-tier apparel Mid-tier department stores Casual dining This split is the core story: the middle is losing relevance. ___________________ If you want an America that is a country of (1) oligarchs and their support/functionaries, and (2) peasants . . . then we are right on track for that. Every single economic trend and function of any substance these days is getting us closer to that goal. Massive, indiscriminate tariffs are a perfect example of such a policy. Removal/destruction of all regulations that provide protections for working people (the middle class, and those who could rise to the middle class) is a good example of such a policy. The complete destruction of government services to the people -- SNAP, public education, viable medical care without bankrupting you, etc. -- is a good example of such a policy.
  19. Sure. You need more eggplant. [emoji533]
  20. But to be clear, you moaning with pleasure throughout the procedure DID give the doc some mixed signals.
  21. Yeah.....if Jesus showed up, he would be among the first tossed in a cage and then deported. By "Christians." Fucking amazing world we live in.
  22. The only reasonable end goal here is judgment at Nuremberg. All efforts must be headed to that goal. No deviation, no detour, no stopping short. If the effort is just "win an election, and set an example by governing decently," GTFO of the way. You're doing more harm than good.
  23. Yep. And it's super-easy. Trump will say "declassify any mention of any known Democrat, keep everything else classified." And that will be that. There is no honesty or truth from this regime. Every thought, word, and breath, is lies and deception. It's the most evil regime imaginable. But take heart. It is going to get much, much, much worse.
  24. Full. Steam. Ahead. This is an existential fight for the Republic. You go all the fucking way. Then, you keep going. The obligation here is to lay waste to MAGA, lay waste to MAGAts, destroy them, destroy everything they've ever done. Then, make the rubble bounce.
