  1. 'member when all the conservatives and trolls kept getting ultra butthurt when we pointed out trump toadying up to putin? 'member when it was "trump derangement syndrome" to fear what we are watching happen in realtime? I 'member.
  2. For a couple years I was flying to Bartlesville from Houston doing customer work.... God those were dark times. That tiny ass town with a weird ass hotel that doesn't have any right angles was like going through the looking glass
  3. those two things are definitely a 100% apples to apples comparison in terms of size, scope, duration, and social impact lol The bigger death is that of social good and civic-mindedness. We ain't got time for any of that. We gotta keep this goddamn line going up, you hear??
  4. propping up a requirement for their "end of days" prophesy is unironically the bedrock of their support for Israel.
  5. It gives them a mechanism to re-segregate their schools. More expensive school == fewer non-whites to sully your precious little angel
  6. for fucking real, that's the offline version of "noCR!!!" I am beginning to hear it more and more from boomer family members that are suddenly remembering how happy they were and told everyone they were about trump winning.
  7. Socially, we are much closer to Weimar Germany than post-bolshevik Russia. We are snapping from a (relatively) progressive and democratic government to an autocracy controlled by a dictatorial ruler and governed by hand-picked lieutennants.
  8. Crazy to go back to 2022 when this was fresh. Lotta wailing and gnashing of teeth whenever trump was mentioned, along with how glad we are that he wasn't undermining Ukraine's defense. It is fucking crazy town how badly trump is rolling over for putin. I can't believe our country elected a man who is so in love with dictators and evil people. That choice is going to ripple through decades of history and forever stain us.
  9. I can think of a few reasons we may not have the expertise or capacity for such a thing....
  10. the DNC leadership is too busy sucking on their teeth and trading stock to care
  11. that's gonna be the inflation thread in a month or two
  12. My guy, I'm not lionizing him. I'm saying it's fucked that an injured veteran is being denied his legal due process for no reason besides being brown. You're pleased as punch that you have a reason to be happy to overlook it. I didn't cherry pick this story either, Stars and Stripes - the US military's own newspaper - picked this story.
  13. Lol the corrupt politicians can use crypto too, it turns out! https://www.wsj.com/world/americas/argentine-presidents-promotion-of-crypto-rocks-his-presidency-c747a0ae https://apnews.com/article/argentina-milei-cryptocurrency-fraud-charges-3f572a5f294d7c25437a08151798b917 Milei is being investigated for launching and immediately rugpulling a cryptocurrency. Our president did the exact same thing and is only gaining power and influence.
  14. bit of an overshare, champ (black diamond)
  15. It's almost like they're just using their christianity as a mechanism to launder their ultranationalism, or something
  16. I grew up riding 16 hours in a car to visit my aunt and grandad and ski in Crested Butte every winter. Jokerville was my first BD! Man, I am smiling ear to ear. Thanks for the shot of nostalgia
  17. Pretty funny - it's ROTS dubbed in English... translated from a bootleg Chinese copy lol. Sounds like early 2000's internet talk
  18. My wife has been itching to play The Sims again and didn't want to deal with a desktop computer, but surprise surprise her M2 backbook air runs those games like a CHAMP! It's pretty amazing how much a "basic" computer can play if you're looking to play games that are 10+yrs old
  19. Payouts to donors and their companies. Same shit as a toilet seat costing $10,000 to the army. Buying thousands of trump bibles, or brand new textbooks with slavery and the Civil Rights era erased. Easily steered contracts with little to no oversight controlled by people looking to profit, not further the mission.
  20. You could just say you're happy about the cruelty and get it over with
  21. And please don't derail the thread @52-80 and give the mods a reason to do your dirty work and remove this thread.
  22. Lol there you go again, making shit up and putting words in my mouth. Conflating the epidemic of school shootings with a service member's PTSD from deployment is a new one for me. Look man, I know if it doesn't fit on a chart you have trouble understanding things. Maybe leave your penthouse sometime and observe the world from the ground floor.
  23. It's almost like we have an entirely different justice system depending on how rich or poor your are, or something.
  24. Wow what a completely unpredictable and unforeseeable outcome of trump becoming president
  25. Hey man, I'm just posting the headline that our armed forces newspaper went with. Take it up with our service members if you don't like it. Some other details you seem to have forgotten from the article: Nevermind that he had PTSD from his second tour in Iraq and suffered a flashback, and was following the rules with citizenship and got early parole, deport that brown man!!!! Cruelty is the point, after all. And besides shouldn't the oligarchs call all the shots anyways?? They're the ones with the economic interest, so they should be the deciders. Fuck the law amirite? The president alone interprets that!
