  1. Vegas is one of the few places I'll do that. You meet the weirdest damn people which I don't mind. It's numbnuts Jack driving a jacked up white truck sitting at the local sports bar being as interesting as a 7-11 hotdog that ruins my beer
  2. Aren't you the dude that has been paying 20 something women to date? What differences have you encountered in the young group?
  3. I don't know how old you are, but I was a lot like you when I was younger. Even into my mid to late 30s.
  4. If only there was a way to convince Jerry to take his whole family on the yacht and sail around the coast of Venezuela for a while.
  5. I'm being a bit optimistic in my assessment.
  6. Just like if you tell them to believe in one singular diety, give everything they have to it, all their problems will be solved... After they die Real fuckin' smart these Americans.
  7. In my middle age I'm very much enjoying this dynamic. I can go sit at a sport bar near my house, drink my beer, watch a bit of a game, and enjoy it in peace without having to small talk the cretins around me. At my age and our current social and political climate I don't want to get to know many more people. I've had my party days, raised my kids, have my family and friends.
  8. Aaaaaaaaaaand the Surly football board motto search is offically over.
  9. The legislature has done nothing in 9 months except that bloated omnibus that Schumer caved on in the spring. They serve no purpose and the shutdown was limiting how badly trump could continue fucking everything up. The fact he was owning the shutdown, and the majority of Americans were blaming him, was the biggest win you could get in this. He needed the shutdown to end, it's why he was begging Thune to end the filibuster. All the pressure was on him and by proxy on Thune and the other republicans. All democrats had to do was flood the zone with the messaging I put earlier in this thread. The blame was on republicans and trump. The people were already blaming him. Just keep tightening the squeeze until he folded. The American people are not going to go unscathed in this. My work was impacted during the shutdown, we were not getting the funding we get from OPTN during the shutdown, and while it didn't shut us down it slowed things down. I was soft furloughed for all but 4 days out of 2 1/2 weeks at the end of October. It affected my pay. But I still didnt want the democrats to cave because the long term viability of the country is way bigger than reduced pay for a couple of months. People are going to suffer to fight authoritarianism. There's no way around it now.
  10. It 100 percent depends on how badly the regular worker, especially trump assholes, are getting fucked over by the economy in ways obvious to their dumbasses. Things like not affording groceries, utilities, housing, and insurance will do it. 2008 was so bad after the republican Bush fuck ups that these racists voted for Obama, or at least didnt rise up against him in large numbers. That's what it takes. They're too stupid to be proactive and problem solve. They're pure amygdola. Purely reactionary. And they have the long term memory of Lucy Whitmore. They have to be hurting right then in election season.
  11. Ok I'm calling bullshit. There isnt a person alive who knows who that cunt Hinchcliff is and doesn't know the other Rogan Nazi comics. Rogan's comedians are just a bunch of opportunists who saw $$$ in jumping on the nazi white supremacist bandwagon of trump and catering to the trump deplorables. But now they've run their course, and as the country gets more and more legitimately harmed by this administration's authoritarianism the backlash against these people will continue to grow.
  12. Damn, knowing old pornstar's birthdays? This dude must be a world class fapper
  13. They really folded their hand while holding a royal flush. How hard is it to say "you the American people voted for republicans to run everything. You voted them to completely control the government. They will fuck you over. We can't help you, this is the country you voted for so enjoy finding out republicans want you broke and dead. When the next elections come up remember who is fucking you and who cant help because you chose to lock us out. We can only fix it if you give us complete control." Seriously, how hard is this message to get out on every sporting event, every channel, every social media outlet? What the fuck are they using all that money they raised on?
  14. Moron moderate democrats think they won on Tuesday. No, trump lost. The people still don't give a shit about you. As soon as the suffering from trump ends they'll forget about it and go right back to whatever populist windbag promises the moon again. Even if it's trump's kid or some other evil republican bastard. That's where we are. No matter if democrats win everything like in 2008 the republicans will go right back to making a loud bitching noise daily then promising to fix everything, even things that aren't broken. Stupid Americans will buy into it and elect them again because democrats will be weak and quiet. That's best case scenario.
