  1. All you people stressing about whether to drop family or friends over their support of Trump, this gives you the perfect opportunity for a final demonstration of decency before you cut the cord forever. Because any so-called patriotic American who supports what’s going on now needs to be shamed and shunned forever - shunned like a drunk Amish person wearing bling and a Ziggy Stardust costume while masturbating in front of the meeting house singing his newly written ditty, ‘Satan is my copilot!”
  2. no. if Zelensky resigns that does not mean Trump will support Ukraine, that will only mean that Putin convinced him to get rid of Zelensky. I firmly believe that Ukraine and the United Europe can stand against Russia since Russia is almost done. What Trump wants is what Putin wants. So if Trump wants it, you must oppose it. That is always the right move.
  3. I assume that got a “harumph” out of Gym Jordan who was standing there in his shirt sleeves
  4. That embarrassing meeting will probably result in another couple extra billion from Europe to Ukraine.
  5. Exactly. Most people don’t know this, but there are subtle distinctions on the Bible’s direction on in-vitro fertilization due to language differences.
  6. I think I would’ve responded, “I’ve been praying that you stop being bigots and racists since 2016, but prayer doesn’t seem to be working…”
  7. Boo-hoo. Did you know that my barista screwed up the foam leaf art on my double latte this morning? We are all dealing with stuff troph
  8. it matches my life experience perfectly. And when they breach the contract, they will tell you that “Christians should not sue other Christians.” Handy, that.
  9. The fact that the GOP is canceling all of their Townhall meetings tells me everything I need to know about how things are going. The funny thing is, this is just the tip of the gigantic frozen iceberg of shit we will hit eventually. MAGA Congress is sipping cocktails aboard ocean liner Trump, and Don Junior is supposed to be up at the bow looking for Shitbergs. This is not an “if” , but “when” we strike the shitberg…. The GOP Congress staying at home waiting for talking points to spin from Trump (or for eggs to get cheaper if you are a true believer) will not result in a better ending than was had on the Titanic.
  10. This could just be the technological advancement that proves to alien life forms that mankind is finally worthy of joining the rest of the galaxy.
  11. https://www.livenowfox.com/news/house-judiciary-gop-rickroll-epstein-files Dear God, but this is wonderful…
  12. Yup. During the Great Depression- to have a job in bum fuck any where as the Federal Postmaster made you King of the World.
  13. Uncle? Dude. My selective service number for the Vietnam conflict was No. 27.
  14. Now that we have AI, you can employ it to go through the entirety of the posts on Surly and ask it to return the ones that say “Boy - that gator guy sure is smart!”
  15. I got my haircut today by my longtime barber. He is a Vietnamese refugee who became a citizen in the 70s. He is a huge Trumper, a non-critical thinker, but watches his Fox and OAN and considers himself extremely politically astute. He will never vote for the Democrats because they are “close to being communist, and he knows all about communist from his time living in Vietnam”, don’t you know…. We’ve had a truce for some time where we don’t really get into politics. Today he wanted to talk about DOGE, and why it was good to eliminate the fraud. I told him the fraud was a lie, they just wanted to get rid of anyone who could stop Trump from implementing his project 25 plans. He then switched to how terrible it is that people don’t get along because of politics. Because he wouldn’t drop it, I told him it is no longer politics. We are no longer fighting about trickle down economics, or fighting about Middle East policy. We have a pathological, liar, felon, rapist, con man - supported by white supremacists - who is destroying the efficiency and fabric of American government to an extent that can’t be cured if we ever get a Democrat back in. He told me it was “ silly for politics to interfere with friends and family”. At that point I’ve had enough and told him I no longer have anything to do with Republicans who voted for Trump in 2024, because they are fake Christians and false patriots who are actually traitors- and although I wish the upcoming American pain could be confined to people who voted for Trump, I am looking forward to lots of pain in rural and stupid GOP strongholds. At this point, he was getting pissed at me, and said that I was brainwashed. He doesn’t make much at his hair cutting, and his federal employee wife is the big breadwinner in the family. He then told me his wife had to give five reasons why she should be retained, and she gave 15 so she would be kept. I laughed and said she’s gonna be fired anyway, and told him to call up Trump on the line when she gets fired and explain why that was wrong. Whelp, I was advised that I need a new barber.
  16. That moment you lose your job at the VA and realize that your wife opening an Only Fans account will do nothing to solve your economic woes.
  17. The top bold is the smooth brain comment you keep making - but you never attempt to dhow how in the world “Maine should get 75-25 democratic representation” will be implemented. You never say how this comes to pass. A decree of the governor? Altered voting machines? A wish of a genie in a bottle? Elizabeth Montgomery twitching her nose? Tell us how somehow the number of elected congressman will be changed due to a presidential election vote, and why that won’t be an unconstitutional restriction on voters rights to vote for their local congressional candidate, regardless of any presidential campaign selection choice. If you can’t, shut the fuck up and don’t post anymore on this subject.
  18. So, you’re happy to “sacrifice several hundred thousand bureaucratic jobs” in FDA, EPA, USDA, the National Park Service, etc. (as Elmo is doing now), because the huge military budget lacks sufficient accountability? Interdasting
  19. However, absolutely everything that happened in the federal government at the most granular level was solely the responsibility of President Biden….. at least when he wasn’t a completely senile incompetent wandering around drooling.
