  1. As it’s past 5 o’clock, and with the perspicacity provided by the cocktail hour, maybe Trump is playing 5D chess with India! On one hand, he is slamming them with tariffs. On the other hand, he is dramatically raising the price of beef….hhmmmmm
  2. Trump should probably just declare war on everybody but us, so then I won’t have to figure out which of the few remaining countries don’t hate us.
  3. Apparently not. it may be puffery, but if they can produce enough missiles to get to five a day, at the end of the month they can fire 30 missiles at 5 refineries. I don’t know the technical specs, but I’m not sure Russian air defense can shoot down 30 missiles. I’d be happy to see five refineries put out of business, and the next month another five refineries put out of business. I would love to know the capability of Russian air, defense systems. If they can shoot down 30, or they can shoot down 75, whatever… I can’t imagine those idiots will be able to stop all of them. And once they find out how many you need to overload the defense, send more than that at each refinery every month.
  4. So - Carthage? (I know, Scipio Africanus was 200 years before Nero)
  5. Just win baby! #burntorangelife
  6. We thank you for your service.
  7. I have not one clue whether this is total BS or has some authenticity, so I’m just putting it out here for anyone who wants to track it down. If it’s true, we’ll have word by tomorrow certainly.
  8. Well, if he didn’t do that, he probably did something else.
  9. Let me guess, this will happen in two weeks…
  10. So …. China and Putin have it. Great.
  11. No matter how many drones were sent at the refineries, it remains true that demand for Russian gasoline domestically goes up this time of year due to vacations. and more importantly, the harvest season and the high demand for agricultural fuel. Clearly, that demand will not be met, even if some small percentage of refinery damage is fixed ASAP. I am not an oil refinery guy, but I can’t imagine that those multiple balls of fire which were refineries can be fixed in a month or two given the lack of foreign expertise and equipment. I also assume they will not hit them again until they’re almost restored. If a drone can wreck shop, I imagine ukraine’snew missiles will do a much better job..
  12. Well, the Senate would not have allowed him (or anyone ) to testify anyway, so that really isn’t nothing 🍔 But Kamala? This here seems an awful lot like a known-known.
  13. I respectfully disagree. They will destroy the economy - and then the new Trump packed supreme court will realize that the founders wanted all of those “liberty of contract” cases to be followed. So whether black or brown or white, you can always work in freedom factories, or freedom fields - where you will be paid for your 60 hour six day work week in TrumpCoin - to be used at the Trump store.
  14. MAGA Counterpoint:
  15. ….and just like that, the orange man solved de minimus trade items being too expensive - and the problem was gone… If they won’t ship it to you, you can’t pay an increased price due to the tariffs! Art. Of. The. Deal.
  16. I wonder if Singulair would have helped? Singular suppresses the production/formation of histamine - which for me works far better than trying to treat the presence of histamine after it is formed. A decade ago it gave me a new lease on life dealing with my adult asthma in pollen season spring on my street full of oak trees. Shit works. Bigly.
  17. in six months, much of the nation will have 24/7 free time from their former employment to participate in protests.
  18. Why do you want to shame those of us who are still drunk from last night?
  19. He is the Marcus Vic of the Sanders family. A modicum of athletic ability and a fast 40 time, without an ounce of common sense - or an upbringing that gave him an idea how decent people were supposed to act.
  20. May they all enjoy their new-found love of whatever country to which we deport them and/or their families. That machismo bullshit - which is a not insignificant part of certain cultures (by all means, not exclusive to Hispanic/Latino cultures) - is definitely wired to be friendly toward authoritarians. And the same Trump type of Latino voter also feels a warm kindred spirit with the MAGAts misogyny stance - and keeping women in a second class state to cook and have babies and stay out of business and professional occupations. Whore-Madonna thang out front should have told you. Fuck every single one of them. They had a chance to build something wonderful together with the rest of the people in the country they inhabit. They chose instead to shit on their own (if without papers anyway) who are trying to find a better life - and also shit on Black people and gay people and women in their support of Trump. I don’t give a shit if they get ass-raped daily by MS 13 gang members in a shit hole super-Max prison in Central America. You helped bring about the destruction of the country that I love. I have no sympathy for you, amigos. The state of Louisiana has a law that went into effect August 1. Essentially, an undocumented alien cannot sue anyone who seriously injuries or cripples them or their children in a car accident. If you are a white guy who’s drunk and runs the stop sign after their fifth DUI - and you paralyzes some five-year-old daughter of an undocumented alien - the current law in Louisiana says “fuck you, you’re not anything for your pain and suffering and your daughters’s paralysis. Because you are a dirty, brown, illegal immigrant don’t you know? This was always coming in a GOP state. And those assholes voted for the GOP. There is no harm to Hispanic/Latino GOP voters that is harsh enough to make me give a shit about what happens to them.
  21. I view all of this as an example of positive Darwin-like behavior.
  22. This (below) is displayed in a hallway of my home. Fuck that guy. Couldn’t beat Florida.
  23. One of the teams won.
