  1. You know I never wanted to make anybody feel bad or hate America or anything when I bring up stuff like slavery and the Trail of Tears and shit. I just want people to stop doing shit like that. If everybody agrees to be nice moving forward we can memory hole all that shit because it would no longer be relevant to anything. But I was referring to statements by the Israeli officials creaming over themselves at the dream of ethnic cleansing. As if doing that wouldn't still leave them surrounded by hostile states.
  2. In a shocking development, almost everybody agrees that ethnic cleansing is evil and bad.
  3. Andrew Jackson ignored the court. Nothing really seemed to happen. But was almost 200 years ago.
  4. Feel free to blame the Democrats for what they failed to do in government. What annoys me is when the Republicans do stupid shit and then people blame the Democrats for losing to them. No the Republicans are responsible for their stupid shit and the Democrats are responsible for theirs. It is not the Democrats fault when the Republicans suck.
  5. Sure. That is why ultimately everybody who voted for him is also responsible for whatever he does. The things he said he was going to do anyway.
  6. Ok is this another one of his "say something incredibly insane and piss everybody off but ultimately don't do shit" things? Please tell me it is.
  7. There were actually quite a few Union soldiers who collected multiple signing bonuses this way. Even better if you could get paid by a rich man to serve in his place if he got drafted.
  8. Well nothing practical happens. Obviously he inflicts massive political damage with little to show for it. Again much like last time.
  9. So nothing happens again. If it weren't for Elon Musk running around breaking shit this would be a fairly accurate recreation of Trump 1.0.
  10. Um...can somebody explain to you why your workers are going on strike? Can't you just fucking talk to your workers and sort it out? Why do you need somebody to speak for people you know personally?

    Grammys

    How dare you! But I basically agree. Back to back Grammys for a band that hasn't played together since 1969? In 2024 and 2025? Even as a 'Now and Then' enjoyer and Beatles fanatic that is embarrassing.

    Grammys

    She was huge last year. I kept hearing about her and kept meaning to check out her stuff at some point. But never got around to it.

    Grammys

    Look I love 1960s music. I am a huge Beatles fan, I love all their stuff. Loved 'Now and Then' I listened the shit out of it back in 2023 and listen to it whenever I am in a Beatles sort of mood. Saw Ringo when he came through Austin last year. I listened to his country album he just released and I will listen to whatever McCartney is going to release this year. Love those guys. But come on Grammys. This is getting kind of embarrassing. The Beatles already have tons of Grammys. Ringo lives in LA and doesn't even bother to show up. They just send Sean Lennon to pick it up for them like they did for the Grammy for the "I'm Only Sleeping" video last year. Is Rock Music so dead that there are no current bands actually making music with all their members still alive to give Grammys to?
  14. Well most sovereign wealth funds are used for corrupt purposes.
  15. Invest it all in Tesla and we will pay off that 36 trillion in no time!
  16. The Texas economy gets a 30 day delay to disaster. Only 1,446 days to survive
  17. Which is very possible. The Republicans have a tiny majority with a notoriously difficult to control bunch of grandstanders. The question is how anarchist do the Democrats want to be?
  18. Yep. Especially as there is nothing Congress loves better than ceding its authority to the President. Less responsibility for them to burden their brains with.
  19. The strategy I think is just to do it and worry about Congress later. But I suspect all of this will be rubber stamped later. But we will see, the Republicans do only have tiny majorities.
  20. Well they will probably look around to find other sources of cotton...you know for Canada's giant clothing manufacturing sector. I suspect we export our cotton to some other country which makes clothes and then ships it to Canada. So I think they will be fine. I am glad Abbott has enough sense to show his loyalty to the Great Leader by talking shit to Canada and not the place we actually depend on trading with.
  21. Trump swooping into save us from his own trade agreement is pretty on brand.
  22. I honestly have no idea what a "DEI Contract" is or whether that money was wasted in fact. Or if not wasted what DEI means in that context. I mean those are probably not hiring programs. However with Musk saying things like this: Source: https://www.yahoo.com/news/musk-brands-usaid-criminal-civil-234518173.html I don't know if I fully trust his judgement here. USAID is out there giving money to China to make Covid-19? What are we talking about here. I doubt China got much USAID money anyway. And hundreds of millions of dollars of USAID money are being called "DEI" whatever that means in this context. And he has only been doing this for a few weeks, what he went in and did a full audit of USAID in that short time?
  23. Well one billion down I guess. What do the two columns represent?
  24. Look Mavs I don't care if you self-destruct but can you not send great players to the fucking Lakers? So many other teams to fire sale to.
