  1. Voted yesterday. Yes on 1, 4, and 10. No on everything else.
  2. And every single one of the Jade Helm No Gestapo in Bastropo types will masturbate furiously to.....EXACTLY what they were complaining about back then. Every "constitution-loving, liberty-loving" conservative is actually a simpering fucking liar. They love neither. Tread on me, daddy.
  3. If we're going to start giving naming rights to Texas schools, the sponsors should match the quality offered. Welcome to Dollar General Elementary. Do well, and you'll move up to Golden Chick Middle School.
  4. Vic Mackey's interest is piqued....
  5. Dude. Profits, PE ratios, all that shit? Those are for woke losers. It's all vibes, and only vibes these days. Do you FEEL like it should be worth $1 trillion? Then it IS worth $1 trillion! Which is actually a true statement and thing, but embedded in that is the bubble. Because profits and PE ratios are real things. They exist, are empirical, and do not change (that is, your PE ratio last quarter is what it is, and your PE ratio next quarter is what it is, based on actual measurable metrics). Feelings, on the other hand.....can go "poof." Today, we feel like it's worth $1 trillion, and it is. Tomorrow, we feel like it's worth $1 . . . and it is. That's how you bubble, that's how you burst, and that's how you crash.
  6. That McMahon quote isn't real, right?
  7. 100%. Checking out local grocery stores is a whole thing for us. Gives you a real snapshot into local culture and life. Some amusement from Finland, for example:
  8. Yeah, our Oxo is serrated. Forgot to mention that, it really helps. I don't use it a LOT, but when I do, it makes quick work of things -- mostly stuff like cucumbers and potatoes.
  9. But it also can’t hurt.
  10. This is what they all believe. ALL OF THEM. Every single person who supports these movements agrees with that.

  12. Yep. Pick a theme, and HAMMER it. Trumpism did it with illegals and xenophobia. We need to do it with billionaires living the life and fucking you over while you decide whether you can afford Hamburger Helper this month. Show a picture of Trump's dining room And then a picture of the American people's dining room: a table with meager food, scared kids, and worried parents. "He doesn't care about you. They don't care about you. They've just been using you and abusing you." Over and over and over. "While he gave Elon a gold key to the White House, you were losing the keys to YOUR house [show family at foreclosure]." "Your home. Your kitchen. Your life. We're going to make sure those things are full again. And we're going to get your money back from the people who took it." and over and over and over.
  13. You're kind of right, but you're not paying attention to the economic destruction that is being wrought. Sawbonz posted this in another thread: Communities absolutely collapsing, families ending up homeless. That's a large part of the wreckage and suffering I'm talking about. Bombs are one way to destroy a country and cause suffering. Trumpism is another. The outcome is the same: communities and lives ruined, people suffering and yes, dead.
  14. Absolutely, and great post. For this crew to claim to be financial geniuses, nobody understands finance and economics better than me, they don't have any fucking understanding of ROI, multipliers, or the velocity of money at all. The very communities that voted for Trumpco at the highest rate are going to be the ones eating a 10-layer shit sandwich as a result of his regime's complete and total destruction of our systems.
  15. There's only two possibilities: (1) he's a fucking idiot who truly doesn't realize the first thing you said, or (2) he's making the argument in bad faith so they have the cover to completely fuck us over while we stand on the sidelines. Or, I guess option 3 is "both."
  16. Bingo. This only ends in destruction, wreckage, suffering, and blood. And lots of all of those things. It's inevitable. We've chosen that course, and we will not deviate.
  17. (1) They'll bitch. (2) Trump will tell them to STFU, because "nobody knows about groceries more than me. Groceries -- it's an old-fashioned word, but nobody understands groceries more than me, believe you me. I understand groceries like no one has ever seen before." (3) If any of them keep bitching, Trump will have the DOJ sue them for some bullshit and extract a $100 million "settlement/fine/penalty" for them to have the right to continue doing business. Capiche?
  18. And this is the only play. It's actually the smart and winning play, because it creates a real intersection: it's clear that the American electorate (or a very big and important chunk of it) only responds to pain -- their own pain. And the Republicans are saying "give in or we hurt them!" Fuck yes, go ahead and hurt them. Do it. Because (1) that's the only way those voters will learn, and (2) you (Repubs) will be the ones doing it. Go ahead. Start shooting hostages, so the world knows in clear detail who the fucking murdering terrorist is here. Along those lines, as I pondered SNAP benefits ending the other day, my first thought and instinct (a pretty predictable Dem-type thought, by the way) was "I should write a fat check to the food bank." But then I stopped. And remembered the lesson I just typed above. Nope. The only way we're going to learn anything is by touching the hot stove and actually feeling the pain. So....we need folks going hungry. Really hungry. Like, desperate hungry. Is that fucking awful? Of course it is. Will plenty of people who didn't vote for this shit be caught up in that pain? Absolutely. These are gruesome times. When you understand the reality that the only way we MIGHT get out of this is if enough Americans feel truly awful pain.....then you actually need to allow things to happen that will cause that pain. So, here we are. What a fucking horrible place to be. But hey, Republicans, you keep saying "I'll do it! I'll pull the trigger!" Well, at long last.....
  19. Look motherfucker, we're gonna Keep Topeka Weird and you're gonna fucking like it.
  20. Dude banked $594 million. All he's gotta do is "invest" $50 million or so in the new "Trump coin" venture, and he'll have a pardon in his safe deposit box within the week.

    Y'all are breaking my fucking heart, man.
  22. Well and being that Elon actively hates the majority of humanity (anyone not white and European), to the point of actively wishing for places like the UK to plunge into civil war to keep them away.....yeah, maybe don't look to him as an authority on building a utopia. "A world with only Elon's chosen people in it" isn't utopia, it's a fucking horror show.
  23. Detailed plans are for nerdy libs. You need to speak fluent "simple and stupid." Bonus for using words like "tremendous," and "amazing," and "the likes of which no one's ever seen." You think I'm spouting bitter hyperbole and shit. I'm not. Promise people a path to free candy for life and shit, because that's what works. "I will guarantee every American a job!" That's what you promise when your actual policy plan is job training programs, tax incentives to businesses based on hiring, and any number of other wonky measures. "When I'm president, you'll get paid thousands to open a business!" Don't talk tax credits and ROI and shit. Open a business? You get money! We live in the dumbest fucking time imaginable. Embrace it or perish.
  24. I think that he should pay us $500 for having to sort through that incomprehensible shit. We'll put it in the wreath fund.
  25. The cop who shot a woman in her apartment for moving a pot of water -- as he ordered her to do -- was just convicted of 2nd degree murder. Should have been 1st degree, but jury opted for the lesser included offense. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/sean-grayson-found-guilty-murder-death-sonya-massey-rcna240223 Oh, and as a result of this, nothing will change. No policing standards, no training, no attitude, nothing. We the people are the enemy, and we are totally expendable. We live or die based solely on what a cop chooses, and the instances when they are truly answerable for that choice are few and far between. We call them out when they happen, but most of the time.....they just back each other up, tell a lie that makes it justified, and move on down the road.
