  1. All in all, we've had worse Junes. Hell, we had a little shower at our house yesterday and it turned it downright pleasant in the evening. Whereas the boy is in central Germany....where it's 95 degrees, and NOBODY has AC. He draws his curtains all day, opens his window and cranks up a portable fan at night, and sleeps on top of the sheets. And is still hot. Man....god bless AC.
  2. Oh, fellas, we got us a fucking MATH WHIZ over here!
  3. I wouldn't worry. We'll just find a way to blame mexicans for AI, too.
  4. Yep. "Delete and block contact." You fucking asshole, all you did was hoover up money that COULD have been used to support candidates in other races who actually campaigned and had a shot at winning. Allred is a net negative in Dem politics. Fuck him in the goat ass.
  5. I still disagree. We the people WANT shitty. It's just all about who you are shitty TO. Give us a candidate who is a celebrity and promises to hunt down and imprison every Republican who voted to take away your medicare, or some shit like that. You have to promise pain and retribution. It's the only language America speaks now.
  6. See these together. That's my entire point: quit running on ideas, and policies. Run on the circus. The circus is what wins. It's the ONLY thing that wins. And if you don't win, then nothing else matters. Dems need to start with the basics: win. Then, and only then, can/should they work the rest of it.
  7. Smart, thoughtful candidates with great policy ideas that will actually help the people. In other words, LOSERS. The Dems cannot win with that shit. Pay attention to the voters, and what they want. They want performative bullshit. The Dems need to find a celebrity, stoke and feed his ego, and get him to run. Yeah, like a McConaughey type. That's it. That's the only prayer the Dems have in a statewide race for the next generation. Hate it if you you want, but it's true.
  8. Jimmy Swaggart's reaction to getting caught nailing ass: Nobody's reaction to Jimmy Swaggart's death:
  9. Stop asking any question that amounts to "so what if the American people DON'T get totally assfucked?" That's a hypothetical that will never happen. "We get assfucked" is the always and only answer.
  10. And I just got the name of a 20-inch metal-spiked dildo the circumference of a coke can changed from "The Rectum Wrecker" to "Little Love Lance." I'm sure that will make it feel better when the GQP rams it up our collective ass repeatedly. Jesus fucking Christ, the Monster Raving Looney Party in the UK is more worthwhile than the utterly worthless pile of medium-wet shit that is the Democratic party in the US.
  11. Don't overlook this. It's not ICE (and it's not just ICE, it's "Homeland Security" as a whole. It's a separate military force, controlled entirely by the POTUS, to be used exclusively INSIDE our borders, against people here in the US. And the size of that budget...is $175 billion. Where does that put it on the GLOBAL scale? It's the third largest military budget in the world, behind only the US defense budget and China's defense budget. It is well over Russia's budget. The GQP just funded/created the third largest military force in the entire world, and is turning them loose against.....us. I remember back when "libertarians," and "no government interference/no big government" types would have freaked out at the creation and funding of the third largest military in the entire fucking world, to be deployed entirely inside our borders....but today, crickets. Huh. Guess they didn't give a fuck about a single thing they claimed to care about all that time.
  12. "Suspect repeatedly struck the brave ICE officer's fist with his face, causing bruising of the officer's knuckles. Such acts of violent aggression by these criminal immigrant thugs are only increasing."
  13. This is a very, very good and important point. Gov't funded entities have limited resources (which are declining by the day -- DOGE, EVERYWHERE!). Everyone wants the thing/project that touches on them done perfectly. The street in front of MY house should be perfectly smooth! Cool, the city has 1200 miles of streets to repair and maintain, and a budget to maintain.....50 linear miles a year. So, each 50 miles can get touched - on average - once every 24 years. Sure, some higher-traffic stretches will get more frequent work....meaning that lower traffic streets like residential streets get stretched out to a 30 year schedule. DA's budgets are similar. We want them to take care of ALL cases, and get those thugs off our streets. But then we demand that they blow 70% of their budget on two "high profile" cases, leaving few resources to deal with the other 5,000 cases on the docket. Decisions have to be made, resource allocation has to be considered. Every public official I've ever talked to has said some version of "if you give me the money/budget, I will do exactly what you want - nothing would make me happier than repaving every street in town" (or words to that effect).
  14. Well, yeah....human decency and good public policy are political poison in this state.
  15. Have the MAGAs started their stories about how the shooter was a trans brown immigrant who voted for Hillary yet?
  16. Says a woman who was literally tricked into eating dog food on camera. Again...if you submitted a script/book idea with an exact, unembellished description of this timeline 20 years ago, you would have been ushered out of every possible room as being clearly insane and quite likely a danger to yourself or others.
  17. Yep. It's a very good deal for the state to make. The only thing it misses out on is vengeance for the family (which 1) I understand COMPLETELY their desire for vengeance, but 2) that's really not a business the state should be in).
  18. Trump and the simp GQP is gonna kill rurals AND olds, and old rurals?
  19. Was just having that conversation with someone who was much closer to Republican inside circles than I ever was. Conversation ended with "When Abbott took over for Perry, did you ever imagine how badly you'd be longing for the return to the relatively decent and benign reign of Perry?" I'd kneecap any 10 Surly posters if it would get Rick Perry back in the governor's mansion. I mean, I'd also probably kneecap any 10 Surly posters just because we've all got it coming, but still....
  20. Elon thinking that anyone believes that HE cares about principles and policies is rich. He cares only about things that will personally enrich or glorify him (feeding his ego, and trying to fill that enormous void of needing validation and love...that will never, ever be filled by ANYTHING external). He has no empathy or concern for any human being other than himself. View everything he says through that accurate lens, and you'll understand all you need to understand about him. Fuck him. I hope that he realizes, with increasing despair and desperation, that nothing he does - no amount of money, no amount of power - will ever fill the void he carries around. He will die empty, alone, and desperate for the love and validation he could never obtain, because he doesn't have the first clue where genuine love and peace come from.
  21. Look, dude.....we all have our price. There is absolutely 100% a number you could give to which I would say "yep, hand me that bucket of sunscreen, I'll get to rubbin' Elmo down." I have dignity and pride....but make no mistake, those principles ARE for sale.
  22. Jesus fucking Christ. This country is using….Auburn athletics…as a pipeline for national leadership. There’s really no doubt that this country has long-since jumped the shark, and would be best off if it was consumed in the cleansing flames of a total apocalypse.
  23. This. It’s literally the way it ALWAYS goes with authoritarian regimes, which are almost always built on unifying and consolidating power on a foundation of demonizing the “other.” They purge the initial “other.” But they still need an enemy. So they expand the definition of “other.” Again, and again. Eventually including people in former in-groups, even former regime insiders. Idiots think the regime will never come for them. And time after time, they are wrong.
