  1. They've been popping up all over Georgetown and Round Rock
  2. I mean, they showed up with armed cops and threatened to arrest everyone. The judge specifically criticized DOGE for using force and bringing guns to unlawfully remove them. But nobody wants to get into a firefight with the fucking feds. Because they hold the monopoly on state sanctioned violence. And Elon gets to decide where and why they're deployed. And if you'll recall back to the halcyon summer of 2020, trump LOVES to deploy unmarked, masked, and heavily armed cops to put down protests he doesn't like. What elon is doing is the kid gloves version of what historically is next to come
  3. Like USIP, which is funded via legislation and got shut down by elons goons last week? https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/trump-administration/us-institute-peace-sues-block-doge-takeover-force-rcna197036 Yeah that would really kick off a shit storm. Judges will get mad at them and everything and then nothing is going to happen. And anyone who thinks that's a constitutional crisis gets labeled with "trump dErAnGeMeNt SyNdRoMe" by people who are oddly fixated on pedophiles.
  4. Except musks bodyguards have been deputized as US Marshalls and have a State license for violence. So aside from his personal police force and ketamine melted brain he's harmless
  5. I'm sorry the president of the United States of America is hawking his personal memecoin currency during March Madness?
  6. Missed the boat on the $TRUMP pump, I wonder how fast it'll dump Totally normal for the president to be promoting his own currency
  7. So, Apartheid but for the modern sensibility
  8. Well that was a good call then! That might have been one of my favorite moments on TV in some time. Also this is now the second season finale featuring a marching band standing up against authoritarians. Fuck yeah lol
  9. What, is he gonna FedEx her a loaded turkey baster?
  10. If you ask them, they have vague but extremely strong beliefs that vaccines are dangerous. And it's RUDE (!!!!!) to point out their delusion
  11. That's the whole reason they spiked the border bill in 2024. Can't call for martial law when the border is being handled
  12. Make America Great Britain https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-suggests-us-could-join-british-commonwealth-2048679
  13. If that thing only has 2GB of memory, loading a webpage or three will max out that poor ol girl. I'd bet that thing is swapping pages out to storage CONSTANTLY, which is killing your performance. When you let it reach "steady state" it's doing fewer context switches and process swaps and able to put more CPU time into the IOps instead of IOwait as it tries to cope with such little freeable userspace memory
  14. If you want to play the bath salts version of Hell Let Loose load up Enlisted lol
  15. https://www.axios.com/2025/03/21/trump-airforce-boeing-ngad-f47 President Trump, the 47th president, claimed "the generals" picked the F-47 designation, calling it "a beautiful number."
  16. It's 100% the same dynamic. Being too fucking fragile to handle a different idea gracefully, or being too fucking cowardly to meaningfully defend your own voiced opinion is the same melted snowflake on surly or in a country club. Granted, I'm not a silver spoon type and only know about the country club world from marrying into it. Much like Greek Life in college, paying dues to climb an arbitrary hierarchy and have friends seems like a great way to meet shitty people. Definitely some good people there too, but a way higher asshole-by-volume than us filthy wage earners
  17. This dynamic exists with my in-laws where they voted for trump and constantly make little comments about how the border is getting cleaned up or this or that, but they get real quiet when I ask about my FIL's brother whose marriage may now get annuled for the crime of being homosexual. It's the dynamic in the DT -they just want a safe space where they can make little shitty jokes to each other unchallenged, so they can reinforce their world view more effectively. Hell, an aunt on that side of the family randomly flew to Israel last week and yesterday we got a panicked text asking for prayers because the area she was in was taking rocket attacks. Who the fuck but a dumb clout chasing idiot would travel to a warzone and then be shocked when they could become collateral damage? But of COURSE she needed to go! The spirit called her! The same spirit that calls her to speak in tongues on command, of course.
  18. So with regards to the ending of the episode....
  19. Made that motherfucker hold the damn door
  20. And of him just BOLTING out of the room after setting down the binder lol. Lotta good comedy in this episode, even in the middle of some pretty heavy stuff. Really great stuff out of Stiller, I'm stoked for the next season
  21. What a goddamn episode holy shit what the fuck
  22. The trump administration promised to invoke the insurrection act within 90 days to "obtain complete operational control of the southern border". Deploying an AEGIS DDG will certainly fuckin' further that particular mission.
  23. But I have been assured repeatedly that price gouging never happens
  24. Britain issues a travel warning for US https://www.newsweek.com/britain-issues-travel-warning-us-deportations-2047878 The U.S. has a range of entry requirements, including needing an Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) approval for short-term visits under the Visa Waiver Program. Failure to meet these requirements can result in travelers being denied entry, detained, or deported. British citizens planning trips to the United States are encouraged to regularly check the FCDO website for the latest travel advice and seek guidance if they are unsure about their visa status. The guidance comes after Rebecca Burke, a 28-year-old U.K. citizen, was detained and deported from the U.S. and returned to the U.K. on March 18, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Burke, a cartoonist, had been backpacking across the United States, sharing her journey on Instagram, where she posted about her stays in Portland and Seattle. Her father, Paul Burke, voiced concern in a Facebook post, explaining that his daughter had no criminal record and was on her way to Canada when she was denied entry due to an "incorrect visa." She was then refused reentry into the U.S., classified as an "illegal alien," and detained by ICE.
