  1. The bolded cannot be stated enough. Dumb MAGA that I talk to always talk about how tariffs will bring back manufacturing. No it won't. A lot has changed since the 1970's. First and foremost, the salaries of the men sitting around the big table at these corporations has multiplied by eleventybillion. Good luck convincing the CEO, COO, and CFO at these companies that six figures is still a respectable salary. Couple that with the fact that no American is working for 3 dollars an hour. That ship has sailed on most products, and like you said, those products will move locations as countries begin to raise their living wage standards.
  2. That's the part that blows my mind. 2020 wasn't that long ago. If I forgot everything about Trump's last run the word CHAOS will stick with me. It was a slow rolling ball of shit that picked up speed over the entirety of his term. Not sure how anyone can look back and say "I want more of that!".
  3. Naw man these people have only themselves to blame. It's not that they do no critical thinking, it's that they willfully wake up in the morning and allow themselves to be brainwashed by turning on Fox all day. My mother and father in law have that shit on all day, and then some radio show of its like if they are in the car. Consume consume consume. That's why when you argue with MAGA types, they always say "turn off the MSNBC/CNN". Every accusation is a confession. You should always look at the root cause for why they chose the route they did. They were looking to validate the hatred they have for others and stumbled on right wing media which confirmed the thoughts they already had. We have to accept that about our loved ones. That's the glue of that community. Willful hatred.
  4. Hahaha! Thought you were playing 4D chess and didn't see this move coming. Your broke ass MAGA constituents can't help Elon one bit. Musk is going to find out first hand how everything in Donnie's orbit fails. He should hit the eject button or take the next off ramp but his fucking ego won't let him do it. He will be ok for awhile surviving on the guvment teet, but when we get on the other side of this thing this dude is over.
  5. That's to start. We are merely dipping a toe in the water to check the temp.
  6. No there won't. It blows my mind the mental gymnastics these people do to avoid even one iota of blame for the orange man. I have tried to do the math and it always seems to come back to the alignment of "he hates the same people I hate so as long as we agree on that I am willing to give him a flyer on anything else". I cannot find any other reason except that. Am I in the wrong thinking here?
  7. This mother fucker said " Elon Musk has basically taken over our government, and is, calling the shots, unfortunately". No motherfucker this is what Trump asked him to do. These fucking clowns keep referencing Elon Musk as if he is separate from Trump. He is not!
  8. I said this would happen at the end of the season. No reason to hang around slap fighting with you assholes when no games are being played and nothing is happening.
  9. I will give you a pass this time but Pro Day........
  10. Pay up bro! You made the bet. Don't be the pussy you make everyone else out to be.
  11. 78 for 925 yards and a 11.85 av in 20 games -Chiefs 75 for 1014 yards and a 13.52 av in 14 games -Texas Here are all his targets for the season so you can look through them because you clearly didn't watch the Chiefs play this year. Xavier Worthy is 83rd in the NFL in average per this year. They clearly used him the same way we did.
  12. We threw Worthy a deep ball or two as well but mainly used him as in short yardage just like they did. He is fast but slight and gets rerouted easily. As far as Helm goes you don't run that fast in cone and shuttle drills if your ankle is bothering you that much. To be honest, you don't run those at all as a lot of players skip those altogether.
  13. Helm got hurt? His other numbers say he wasn't that hurt my guy. Burnt Orange and White said he bet that Helm would run faster and have better combine numbers than Sanders. So here we are. Burnt Orange and I talk shit but behind the curtain he is solid and its all good fun. I would most def sit down with guy and have a few beers so mind your own got damned business. Lol Listen whoever you are. The combine doesn't make a shit in the long run. Worthy clocked the fastest time in history and then you know what the Kansas City Chiefs found out? They have to use him exactly the same way Texas did. He didn't go out there and all the sudden become a better deep ball catcher. Mitchell didn't set the world on fire. So perhaps they are what we thought they were?
  14. I got a little quote happy. My bad!
  15. @BurntOrange&White assured me that Helm would outperform Sanders at the combine. Anybody seen him around? Tell him I'm looking for him. Time to commence the shit talking.
  16. Haha. Look at all these Cunts mad cuz Quinn looked good at the combine.
  17. Absolute fucking clown show!
  18. Kensington
  19. look at this high brow motherfucker right here
  20. Is this motherfucker serious? 1) Russia has the largest Nuclear arsenal in the world, a dictator at the helm, and is currently trying to roll over another country. Yeah, those other countries are a bigger threat. 2) Ukraine is not our problem? We are part of NATO. We wouldn't and haven't allow Russia on our doorstep and so we shouldn't allow the people we made a pact with to have that happen to them. 3) Sweeping tariffs are regarded. First, we don't have the infrastructure in place to do what they are supposed to do, make our manufacturing competitive. It will take quite a few years to do. All we are doing in the meantime is raising the cost of good for our masses, and opening the door for other countries to sell their wares abroad. World leaders are not dumb. All we are doing is isolating ourselves. 4) Spending our money on stupid shit? The biggest issue is we aren't collecting enough revenue. Start there. Then pull the corp subsidies and military overspending.
  21. I love yall to death but I don't understand yall at all. First of all, a dictator is a dictator when they break democracy and funnel all power to their desk. Whether that is two years or twenty it holds true. He has installed loyalists everywhere except the military and that is coming since he fired everyone that wouldn't bend the knee already. He is currently steamrolling our democratic processes with barely any opposition at all. Give it a month or two and the few judges who stand in the way will have been put down. Why you guys are holding out hope that some person with a cape is going to come in and save us is beyond me. Especially after everything you've seen to this point. It's over. About going after immigrants. They will ship off enough to balance their numbers but they are smart enough to know they need them for manual labor. It's all about appearances. However, they are quietly passing legislation about the Trans community very quickly. They are basically making their existence illegal all together. At this pace they will have gotten it done in a year.
  22. I am not going to be the asshole that these others are trying to be but I think you are making a huge mistake here. We keep hoping this administration will stay on the rails and be somewhat civilized but all that has jumped the shark. I personally think Trump is officially a dictator and we are very close to some marginalized community being persecuted and I don't mean verbally. They usually come for the smallest community first and you are part of that community. I would not only get away from here as fast as I could but I would also have a go bag for leaving the country at the ready. I think it will get that bad.
  23. I wanna say when I lived in LA we payed a grand total of 1.24% for everything. Shocked when we bought in Texas.
