Trump’s America


tx 3 putt

Recommended Posts

Went to my parents since the wife was working and daycare is closed for the toddler. The Inauguration is on tv.

"I will not be watching that."

"It's just ABC."

"Turn this garbage off or we're not staying."

I'm not really sure what they were thinking. I would happily have a political throw down if it was just us, but somehow they expect that to be on without any friction.

Good for you. We have to resist. Trump will weaponize the justice department.

seems like a beautiful day in dc, not sure why trump canceled everything ??

Trump was worried about the crowd shots not having enough people.   Of course there could be 200 there and he'd claim there was 200,000

More than the 10-15% already announced with the re-org that begin already? I'd love to hear how you have more inside information, maybe we can take it to the O&G thread....

10-15% is gigantic.  My son has heard 5-8.   It’s all big.

People don't matter anymore, money does and there was probably over a trillion dollars of collective net worth at the inauguration today.

How much incremental production do you think we have in the US?  Any offset of that increased amount by sanctions on Iran/Russia?

I mean, it's crazy how he's been white-washed and does T-mobile commercials and is the American envoy to the Olympics (2024). I questioned that as well and the best I could fathom was that Gen-X nostalgia and amorality did this.

Bitches in the living room getting it on should have told you.

Do you really think sanctions will continue on Russia with Donnie in the big chair?  Really?

IIRC, he actually put some weak ones on Russia in the first term, but more as a cover to mask his true intentions.

Interesting to see which flags have been at full and half staff on I45. Just went through Corsicana. Car dealership was full staff but Cick-Fil-A was half. I guess the Georgia connection. That one surprised me. .

Don't ask me how I was volunteered to MILs house to drip faucets, check heaters, etc. etc. Something about dying and SO saying, "how could we live with ourselves knowing "we" could have done something about it?", if she died. jadajada. Anyways, we walk in and MIL plopped in sofa, as always, watching fox.  I posted about her before.

Me: Oh, there goes Obama. One of the best presidents we've had the past few terms.

Her: I dont like Obama

Me: Why?

Her: He only wanted to help black people

Me: (Holding my tounge and staying nuetral, positive, and trying to joke about Biden.)

Me: Look, there's Biden. Can he even see. (joking about his age)

Her: He is too old to be President.

Me: I agree. Why didn't you like him as President?

Her: He was letting all the illegal mexicans in. (She is mexican and does not even know how her parents became American)

Me: Roll my eyes.

Me: Oh, there goes Kamala. She would have made a good president.

Her: I dont like her.

Me: Why dont you like her? She probably has an IQ higher than the last two presidents combined.

Her: I dont care. I just dont like her. (smart people know where this goes if I keep trying to dig for a logical reason for her to not like Kamala)

Me: There goes trump. hopefully he can do something great for the country this time.

Her: I like trump. he keeps his world and tells it how it is.

Me: (Cant hold my tounge anymore). You know he believes in incest and pedo right?

Her: I dont care. Everyone does it anyway.

Me: Do you want me to buy you an English dictionary? I dont think you understand the words you are using.

Her: I dont care. I like trump. Why are these girls finally speaking up now, they just want money.

Me: Why did you not report the abuse from your husband (dead now) then?

Her: Well thats different. Back in my day we couldnt.

Me: You see how flawed your logic is right? (you cannot speak logic with these type of emotional and lower intelligent people).

Her: I dont care. I know what I feel and believe. (she is too dumb to support her feelings and beliefs with logic + she does not want to admit she is wrong)

SO: I told you no politics (in slightly upset tone)

Me to SO: I will go drip the pipes now.

Me to MIL: I hope you..dont freeze.

Vent over.

Definitely my worry, anything not west Texas it’s not economical to drill once it falls to a certain point.  I should probably start looking at ROW landman gigs.

Nope, Annie is not ok. Not only can she still not afford eggs, she spent thousand of dollars to travel to DC for an inauguration she couldn't get into. And she's about to lose her disability, social security, and Medicaid benefits

I've been reading a really good book about the immigration crisis called Everyone Who is Gone is Here. It was on a lot of best of lists for 2024. Things are going to get a lot worse down there and some of it will be by design. It's been an issue that both parties have done very little about substantively in a long time.

National Emergency on Southern Border. EO 1.

Catch and Release is over. (This apply to fishing as well?)

Troops heading south. Bunch of pissed of grunts around the country.

Cartels Foriegn Terrorist Groups. Um... That is bigger than a lot realize.

War on international gangs within the US. Feds gonna be used.

I know a small company in NB that is opening up the champagne.

I know what these might portend, but I'd still like to see some serious unpacking of these as they pertain to our southern neighbors. Like, shit's obvious for Mexico, but I also wonder if there's wiggle room in there for fucking with Panama's canal.

Up for discussion in the FP thread?
