  1. Don't know why you're quoting that treasonous libtard who hates America. Marxist.
  2. I would happily murder every single Surly poster in exchange for a country ruled by a leader as wise, kind, and measured as Frank Stallone. I'm kinda kidding. But not really. I mean, maybe the "murder all of you" is over the top, but you get what I'm saying.
  3. Outstanding. Simple perfection. The double American cheese is a master stroke.
  4. And remember this, he IS a leading voice of the MAGA movement. He advises Texas republicans. He says what most of them think.
  5. I'll bail. Have at it. Have your pointless conversation. Just put a sticky note at the top that says "I hate you all," or something like that. There we go, found it: Happy Thursday!
  6. Says the man who supports everything he does via rigid matters of faith that he would impose on everyone else. That's rich. Lectured on the evils of prejudices by a theocrat.
  7. Your post responded that the reason for people supporting dreamers and a pathway to citizenship was for electoral advantage (to get one side more future votes). Did I misread your point?
  8. If y'all want to understand the dichotomy and why any hope of a "truce" is a pipedream, that's a perfect encapsulation of it. A right winger cannot IMAGINE a reason for supporting a policy (that is, supporting a pathway to citizenship for immigrants who have been here for years, worked hard, and not committed any crimes, as well as a pathway for kids who were brought here at a young age so that they don't know any other home) OTHER than to increase your hold on power. Because it's decent, human, and fairminded? What the fuck are you talking about? No, the ONLY reason to support any policy is self-interest: "how can this serve me and my goals?" And they then project that onto the rest of us. "Well, OBVIOUSLY, the ONLY reason that anyone on the left would support those things is to increase their hold on power [because that's what I would do]." That's it. That's why we can't get anywhere good, and never will. One side views everything through the lens of "me me me mine mine mine," and automatically opposes and hates anything proposed by the other side because 1) they presume that EVERYONE'S sole motivation is "me me me mine mine mine," and 2) they view everything as a transactional zero-sum affair. If someone on the left supports something, it MUST be because it will hurt the right. Because that's how the right would do it. This thread is a joke.
  9. My congregation included. Yet I still don't know whether I can actually go back and devote effort even there. Because the stench of American "Christianity" is just so fucking pervasive. I am having a hard time not reaching the conclusion of "burn it down, all of it, even the good parts, because there's too much rot for the body to be saved."
  10. He really doesn't. His honesty and frankness, and willingness to show his true colors, gives Christians an ACCURATE name. He is what Christians in this country really are.
  11. What is to stop him from doing that? Nothing. Which is exactly why that is the plan being proposed.
  12. Oh, my sweet summer child. "Outrage at our broken immigration system" is the key to decades of electoral dominance for the GQP. Why on earth would they EVER make that issue go away? No Republican since GWB has had ANY interest in actual sound immigration policy. Their only interest, their ENTIRE interest, is in stoking the fires of xenophobic nationalism for political gain. Which is understandable, because it has worked like a charm. A GQP without "FIX OUR BORDERS!" to run on doesn't grab nearly as much power as it has. They will never, ever, ever let that issue get solved -- it would kill them.
  13. I note that you don't have an answer to the question. Why are the Trumpists, in the last 48 hours, spewing fountains of hate, attacks, threats, and slurs against minorities and such.....with ZERO check or call-out from Trump supporters? None. Nada. Zilch. There is NO voice in the MAGA movement saying "that's bullshit, that's not who we are." And you know EXACTLY why that is. You know why it's true for you as well. Shit, it doesn't even make you uncomfortable.
  14. Answer this: What dialogue is there to have with Trumpers? We're not 48 hours out from the results, and the cascade of open and empowered racism and hate from the MAGA movement -- with ZERO check or call-out on it from the Trumpists -- is already flowing at a flood-rate. The Trumpists who post here are all about gleefully taunting and trolling everyone else. Because that is who they are. Tell me how we have a dialogue or truce with that?
  15. I don't hate you. That takes energy. I just don't care what happens to you. And if I can, I will take advantage of you and profit from your misfortune. Because I am a patriotic American.
  16. Well, see, here's how it will go. 1) Brisket will approach his soon-to-be-friends in the Trump administration. He will promise DJT that half of all dollars the government spends on BrisketCo's Internment Camp construction contract will be funneled off to Trump business entities, with no expectation of any product or work on their end. 2) BrisketCo will be awarded MASSIVE contracts to construct Internment Camps. 3) BrisketCo will either not deliver at all, or will deliver sub-standard products, and CEO Brisket will pocket an 8-figure salary on the job. So when BrisketCo goes tits up, it don't make a shit to Brisket, cuz Brisket got PAID. That pretty much covers it.
  17. What dialogue is there to have with Trumpers? We're not 48 hours out from the results, and the cascade of open and empowered racism and hate from the MAGA movement -- with ZERO check or call-out on it from the Trumpists -- is already flowing at a flood-rate. The Trumpists who post here are all about gleefully taunting and trolling everyone else. Because that is who they are. There is no conversation to have with them. They enjoy your pain and suffering. They revel in their cruelty, and their ability to inflict pain and suffering on others without any consequences or checks. How do you have a dialogue with that? [laughs in massive corporate subsidies, including to the second God of the MAGA movement, Elon Musk]
  18. This. America and Trumpism opted for Palpatine's rule (don't take my word for it -- listen to Trump's words about punishment and retribution, and how any who disagree with him are vermin, how ALL immigrants are "poison," etc.), listen to his supporters who, unleased by Tuesdays results, cannot spew the hateful slurs and threats to minorities fast enough): We should just do the same. That's really all I suggest. But I would put a wrinkle on it: only hate when it's easy and convenient. Because really, all of your effort and energy should be spent on YOU, and what is good for YOU. Indifference to your fellow man is what is best. Hate is an indulgence. Only engage when you have the free time and energy. Otherwise, devote all energy to the "get mine" quest.
  19. Psssst. It's because all of the abortion bans aren't about reducing abortion at all. They are about controlling women, and punishing them for being harlots, jezebels, and for the original sins of Eve, that bitch who tricked us out of a life in Eden. That's it. That's the entire story. Because yes, if the goal was ACTUALLY to reduce abortions and protect women's health, there are literally thousands of other things we could do. And the GQP is interested in NONE of those things. That's not an eerie coincidence. It's the tell that reveals the whole story.
  20. I don't care about what people think about me. I care about the fact that it is pointless and a waste of time. You can spend your lifetime building the Taj Mahal of decency. The majority of Americans are doing everything possible to turn it to rubble in minutes. It's a waste. It's stupid to even try. When the cruelty is the point and the entire point, decency is a wasted effort, a sisyphean task. Stop trying to help people. Most of them don't want it. Most of them don't deserve it. And even if they do, whatever good you spend a lifetime doing will be torn down in an instant, because that's the way we want it. Don't be stupid.
