  1. Oh, I know -- @Pescado_Rojo and I have discussed in the past, he's all over it. It's just a classic fucking circular scam.
  2. Here's the thing: his thesis is not wrong. When you are dealing with a pathetic, lizard-brained fool who is motivated by rewards (and he defines what rewards matter to him -- in this case, he's made one such reward quite clear), manipulating him by dangling the prospect of that reward in front of him is an elementary tactic. Fuck, if you are involved in a situation involving conflict, dangling "dude, if you pull this off, you should TOTALLY get the Peace Prize" in front of him is a fucking no-brainer. He is incredibly manipulable. Sure, you have to be in a position where you have, or can present a path to, something he wants. I'm sure that if there was a state actor out there who had cloned Ivanka into a sex slave, they'd have a good play as well. But if you have or can help deliver something he wants (not for the greater good, or anything like that, mind you - remember, we're talking about a narcissist, so it's only about things he wants for himself), then you can fucking play him. And you'd be dumb not to.
  3. Personally, I love that Band of Racists, USA, feels like it has to run an "All American Halftime Show" as COUNTER-programming for a halftime show featuring.....an American. Gosh. The issue can't be that he's not an American. What, oh WHAT could it possibly be? But remember, Turning Point USA isn't racist, right @Enchubben?
  4. Oh, I don’t think there’s any argument at this point that Oklahoma is better-led than Texas. And Oklahoma is a fucking clown show.
  5. Sure. That would be another, different study. Which would give rates. Then compare rates. If I have a 1 in 1,000 chance of dying of disease X, and I have a 1 in 10,000 chance of dying of an adverse vaccine reaction (assuming arguendo that "death" is the primary adverse event in either case), then the math dictates the smarter choice.
  6. What you don't get is any risk comparison. Which, you know, is the relevant way to evaluate risk. What is your risk of contracting COVID and having a negative outcome, stairstepping up in levels of severity, if unvaccinated? What is your risk of an adverse vaccine reaction, stairstepping up in levels of severity? In other words, what is my illness risk reduction if vaccinated, and what is my adverse reaction risk increase if vaccinated - which is greater?
  7. You misstyped 400. America is not unique in this respect, but worse than most any other western country in the fact that one of the biggest impediment to voting in a woman is....women voters. American women voters reliably shit on American female candidates.
  8. Another reminder: recent polling indicates that Republican voters trust RFK Jr on medical matters more than....they trust their own doctors. The fucking singularity of idiocy that we live within....goddamn.
  9. Guys…I’m pretty shook. I was just going through some pics, and I realized…a family member of mine is mixed up in all this antifa business. For fuck’s sake, he’s even seen wearing antifa gear: Goddamn? What are we gonna do? This is a real stain on our family. My own grandfather....in antifa....the fucking shame.
  10. I mean, the dude was born with a porn name, what did you expect?
  11. In that chart, Popeyes is like late 80s/early 90s University of Miami: reckless, lawless, and cruising to the title because ain't nobody gonna stop 'em.
  12. Smart play. Dude, if what makes Trump happy is a giftwrapped GI Joe with a kung fu grip and a My Little Pony doll, you get that shit to him posthaste. When someone who has something you need has told you how they can be played....you play them.
  13. Dude, Immamac is gonna ban you for heresy like that. "Every idiotic thought that pops into your head" is the primary content round here.
  14. Sir, the menu offers only the following choices: 1 Bat shit crazy 2 Craven coward kneeling in obedience to a fascist overlord 3 Ordinary grifter/crook 4 Breathtakingly incompetent 5 Staggeringly weak and impotent in resisting any of the four types of idiocy/evil listed above Now, are you gonna order or what? Because the drive-thru of America's Shittiest Political Future is getting kinda backed up.
  15. Correct. And also, it's very important that these fucking assholes who are running literally every single one of plays in the fascist playbook must NOT be called fascists. I fucking hate them all so, so, so much.
  16. That's yet another thing I love about this era. Trump is SIMULTANEOUSLY Mr. "Nobody knows more about [literally every subject/topic in the world] than me" while also being Mr. "I hadn't heard of that, I'll be looking into that [when "that" is often something he was just talking about a few days ago, or is one of the most basic matters of US governance]." He is simultaneously all-knowing and omnipotent, and as ignorant and devoid of knowledge as an infant. And his cult eats it up.
  17. Ok. Does it get more "bullshit bubble" than "chip manufacturer invests in consumer of its chips so that consumer can buy its chips?" It's a fucking loop. It's not real.
  18. This is the dumbest admin we've ever had. Jesus tapdancing Christ.
  19. So…smarter and more mature than Elmo and Dotard.
  20. Maybe it was listening to Taylor Swift’s entire discography on repeat. As you often do.
  21. We know him. There are few more closeted people on the planet.
  22. Or if it continues.....
  23. "However, nothing will be released by this group without it being approved by Ken Paxton and Stephen Miller." You gotta read the footnotes, man.
  24. So many of the high-value stocks are simply utter vibes and bullshit. It's insane. And the day that the world realizes the emperor has no clothes is going to be a fucking bloodbath market-wise. I mean, imagine if Tesla or AMD were actually valued based on their fundamentals tomorrow morning.
