  1. They are not sending out their best people.
  2. I keep thinking about this quote from "Slaughterhouse Five": “America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves. To quote the American humorist Kin Hubbard, 'It ain’t no disgrace to be poor, but it might as well be.' It is in fact a crime for an American to be poor, even though America is a nation of poor. Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous, and therefore more estimable than anyone with power and gold. No such tales are told by the American poor. They mock themselves and glorify their betters. The meanest eating or drinking establishment, owned by a man who is himself poor, is very likely to have a sign on its wall asking this cruel question: 'if you’re so smart, why ain’t you rich?' There will also be an American flag no larger than a child’s hand – glued to a lollipop stick and flying from the cash register. Americans, like human beings everywhere, believe many things that are obviously untrue. Their most destructive untruth is that it is very easy for any American to make money. They will not acknowledge how in fact hard money is to come by, and, therefore, those who have no money blame and blame and blame themselves. This inward blame has been a treasure for the rich and powerful, who have had to do less for their poor, publicly and privately, than any other ruling class since, say Napoleonic times. Many novelties have come from America. The most startling of these, a thing without precedent, is a mass of undignified poor. They do not love one another because they do not love themselves.”
  3. He's got the strongest team and they are all in on working for him. He's in third place, four seconds back, after today.
  4. Reality: Obama signed this act in 2014. Trump has repeatedly taken credit for signing it.
  5. Paris-Nice starts tomorrow. Seven stages. I think Matteo Jorgenson stands a very good chance of winning.
  6. PSA: Sydney Sweeney and her magnificent mammaries are hosting tonight with Kacey Musgraves as the music.
  7. While Abbot and the National Guard are down on the Rio Grande ....
  8. No kidding. He's here to repair the damn thing.
  9. Tell me you don't watch live sports without telling me that you don't watch live sports.
  10. Also, given his parents, he probably never really had a chance.
  11. I have been waiting for this https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/apple-neurmancer-series-william-gibson-1235925640/
  12. But Abbott delivers Texas --- a state Trump probably already has locked up.
  13. Yeah, after being interrogated and asking you if you'd like a receipt, you wait for you gas to pump and then when it's finished you stand there waiting for the receipt they asked if you wanted and get told that you have to go stand in line and wait for the clerk to print it out. Fuckers.
  14. Missouri cop moves 1600 .lb bale of hay out of the road https://nypost.com/video/missouri-cop-who-doesnt-miss-leg-day-moves-1600-lb-bale-of-hay/
  15. LOL. Trump being sued by the co-founders of Truth Social: The co-founders of former president Donald Trump’s media company filed a lawsuit Wednesday, claiming that Trump and other leaders had schemed to deprive them of a stake in the company that could be worth hundreds of millions of dollars. The case could complicate a long-delayed bid by Trump Media & Technology Group, owner of the social network Truth Social, to merge with a special purpose acquisition company called Digital World Acquisition and become a publicly traded company. That merger deal, which could value Trump’s stake in the company at more than $3 billion, would offer the former president a financial lifeline at a time when he is facing more than $454 million in penalties from a civil fraud judgment this month in New York. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/02/29/truth-social-lawsuit-trump-media-founders/
  16. Came here to post this. 100% pure awesomeness. The response to Cornyn's tweet is almost 100% bots slamming him for being a RINO. Same with Lindsay Graham's tweet in praise of Mitch McConnell.
  17. Agreed. We need to let some of the guys we have already matriculate through the system and we can better utilize that scholarship.
  18. If the Democrats can't beat a party that wants to end recreational sex, there's no hope for this country.
