  1. I don't know what the prospects of war with Canada are. It sounds so strange. Lifted out of the rational world and considering the malign idiot running our country, I can imagine Trump thinking that everybody in the US unites when we attack somebody. Usually we do so with an absurd fairy tale of how we're actually defending ourselves. Afghanistan is the only exeception that I can think of. Trump cannot be expected to have any notion of what war is actually like. He ran away from it as a young man and has neither the curiosity or imagination to visualize it. He's one of the idiots who thinks, "neato!" watching the tanks roll. He'll get to watch all the best battle footage. Vicarious thrills and bravery! If any other president spoke like this in the past, we would question his sanity. Plans to erase the Palistinians to build a resort is lunacy. His abuse of power is manifest in his moves against government and persons he resents. He feels nothing doing so. He's sociopathic. I can certainly believe that Trump has images in his head that make attacking Canada seem like a glorious plan of action. I just can't see anyone carrying it out. I guess maybe he could keep firing generals until he finds the right psychotic, but the whole chain of command would presumably be revolted at the idea. Sorry to muse at such length. I'm taken wholly by surprise that so many of you conclude this is very possible. Can't get my head around it. I'm rooting for a junta. Strange days. Apt.
  2. Taxing them is the nicest of the options for what to do with them.
  3. Real discouse heads toward a conclusion even if it's disagreement. The "republicans" shown and all over the place start from conclusion and move towards argument. This is bad. I was told that. Now I must argue with people who are wrong about why it's bad. If they don't get it, that's on them because we all know it's bad. Argument proof. Persuasion proof. It will, as many say here, take pain. They must keep touching the hot stove they worship until it's unbearable. Most will have to burn through flesh to the bone before it dawns on them that they do not have to keep burning their hands.
  4. I watched some of it. I'd never heard of the man. I think he looks like a great introduction to politics and discourse. The format is entertaining which is required to hold attention. He argues well. The way he thinks is how things should operate in discussion about serious matters. Two thumbs up.
  5. From today's NYT webpage: USA! USA! USA!
  6. I like the detail of someone dressing the shot with those toy cars: What a fucking dick.
  7. Double plus good!
  8. Oh, William! Such badass fantasies you have. I guess continuing to run away from football after you left really established you as the dominance humping manly men. I think the whole failure to capitalize trope is similarly vain to William's wet dream of dominating Texas. The premise is that A&M was just about equal to Texas and could have pulled away had A&M only "capitalized" on the advantage. It's like the way they say underachieve instead of lose. No, you tried your best and lost. Face it. They didn't wander into the SEC and dither about what they should do. The went in with a 100 year plan and poured money into their program. They recruited better. They paid big for coaches. They capitalized full on. And simply failed. Go back to the premise. We're a sleeping giant who need only get out of the shadow created by the fags at t.u. to awaken. Nope. Nobody esteems A&M. Nobody who really knows them likes them. They gave it their best shot and they're still Texas 8and4. The Aggies peaked. They just don't got it.
  9. Victory or Shreveport!
  10. Thanks @Longhornfrenzy for posting the birth and afterbirth of an Aggie generated fact based on the musings of SEC Mike! Irony deafness is never amusing: These posts are their moral victories. Of course, somehow we lost to ND who A&M almost tied. I think that says all you need to know about how A&M measures up to t.u. I don't think the guy at the bottom has a fix on "counterintuitive," but I'm probably wrong. He has a college degree, after all. Not as much as you like to talk about the money we spend, Ace. Nice bit of Alabama jock sniffing, too. Solid point, I think: then Someone was huffing their own farts.
  11. The electorate is the base problem. They'll be the same despicable group of voters who were devoted to the hate cult before Trump injected himself as its personification. American white supremacy isn't going anywhere. Neither is the Kingdom Christian movement. They'll blame everybody but Trump. When he's gone, the engine keeps running. Somebody will take the wheel and stand at the altar to lead the faithful in worship of Donald Fucking Trump.
  12. And Paul Ryan was on that uncomfortable phone recording that mentioned Russian donations to Trump. I, probably tiresomely, continually refer to the GOP as a criminal organization rather than a political party. No thoughtful conservative would be part of that. We're left with GOP Conservatives jerseys, but the wearers are no more conservatives than the Dallas Cowboys fans or team are actually cowboys. No doubt that you're correct about some elected conservatives selling their souls to stay in office. They're no longer politiicians; they're traitorous criminals and enemies of the values of a republic.
  13. It's elected-government harrassment. I hope Trumpists get harrassed for their ethnicity just like non-Trumpists are harrassed. USA! USA! USA! Actual conservatives seem to have lashed back during the first Trump administration. What the fuck even is a conservative today? Any conservatives who had thoughtful conservative beliefs are gone from that party with no real home. GOP backlash? C'mon. They're helping. Succinctly perfect.
  14. You remind me that he was iconic in the Preppie/Yuppie '80s. The lie of him making huge money with only a little bit of help from his Dad became mythology. Back then the now aging Boomers thought they were all hotshot investors as they invested in the stock market which was almost can't miss until the bust. I hadn't really connected that 80s image of Trump being engraved in those minds. I went into Trump Tower just months after it opened. I happened to be visiting NYC. So fucking tacky; it was the cathedral for the austentatious. Of course he becomes King of the United States of Arrogance.
  15. This is a Kingdom Church. Theocratists. It's just as described in the Atlantic. Huge. Informal. Dedicated to establishing God's Kingdom on Earth. In short, they're enemies of the republic. I quoted the Atlantic article before now, but here's a part of a paragraph. Idiot World becomes whole with Religious Lunacy World. The End Times is Good Times!
  16. Ties into the lies about nobody respecting the US unless there's a maniac GOP in office. Recall the claims that the US walked around with a "kick me" sticker on their back until Reagan came got tough with everybody. Nobody pays their share. Everybody is ripping us off. See a man (white) sitting in front of the TV. Now see who he really is: a pimply-faced, skinny teenage boy very insecure about his standing and manliness. Any vicarious, puffed out chest action done in his name is welcome. No questions asked. U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A! If the terrorists were to destroy a couple of skyscrapers today, I wonder how much of Europe and the Americas would cheer.
  17. They're doing so well that they've invited North Korean and Syrian troops to join in the fun! No person who cares about the long term interests of the US would oppose supporting Ukraine. I make the guess that defense industry guy voted Trump. A lot of sales are now ceasing. Fuck you.
  18. Um. Wow. And he does. Injustice! Injustice most profound! It was spawned by this over exuberant thread: The op incluces about 7 vids of awesome Shemar. Then, you get the full range of Texags. A little realsim, a little sarcasm, a cry about refs, and amusing self-awareness.
  19. I know it's probably reflex or a poor choice of b-roll, but her nodding as he blames the globalists is almost criminal and/or comical. Well, of course, we all know that's true.
  20. I ordered a bucket of pinto beans that will last 25 years and I'm planting potatoes. Pretty much the same thing.
  21. Just like the way weeping muscular guys just come up to President Trump and address him as Mr. President, sir.
  22. The Aggies are in charge. I was peacefully showing some visiting fans to our stadium which they couldn't find. I could tell they really appreciated my politeness and honor. Then some effeminate guys in tu shirts showed up and started doing their devil sign. My guests were frightened. I asked the sips nicely to be polite and say howdy to everybody. They yelled louder. Rude! I asked, "how many of you actually attended tu?" They all went silent. I just walked away.
