  1. Yeah, it was the school cafeteria. So, definitely can't get gut essen there.
  2. Sir, we blew past "ridiculous" YEARS ago. We've gone full "plaid absurdity."
  3. When all of his methods for "owning the libs" come down to "make life miserable for everyone who isn't a billionaire," you may start to realize that he just keeps setting off bombs with you in the room alongside the libs. Eventually, all that shrapnel in your ass starts to hurt.
  4. Also, I'm tickled by the fact that in America, anyone who is not full-on MAGA, 100% Trump loyalist is AN EBIL DEBIL COMMUNIST! Take Mamdani's platform in the mayoral race....and apply it in any major western European city. Berlin, Cologne, London, Brussels, Oslo, wherever. That would be a pretty centrist-slightly center-left platform there. Pretty fucking normal. Not "communist" at all. Our Overton Window is so fucking out of whack it's not even funny. Anything less than full on fascist anarcho-capitalist is "COMMUNISM!" Any laws or regulations are "COMMUNISM!" Anything that even remotely contributes to the public good is "COMMUNISM!" I say let these fuckers keep calling everything left of Mussolini "communism." They're wearing the word out and are working on making it meaningless. I say we let 'em do it.
  5. A contrast, to make y'all feel better about how good we have it, my daughter sent this pic of a menu item at one of her local joints in Germany: Her comment was "Get my state's name outta your damn mouth, Germany."
  6. That ledge won't be stepped back from. We are all-in, and the "demonize the others" crowd is doubling, tripling, quintupling that game. It doesn't end any way OTHER than the Esso station outcome. The only question is how much misery and suffering comes between now and then. The GQP and its simps are intent on maximizing that suffering. They're getting their way so far. Things will get worse, before they get worser. I'm pretty confident that any "better" future is so far over the horizon that I won't see it in my lifetime.
  7. So, it wouldn't be a morning after an election day without my pessimistic take. So, here it is. What this means is that over the next year, the fascists are going to take a super-maximalist, accelerationist approach to cramming their evil down America's collective throat. I'm talking "ram a firehose of fascism down our throat and crank it to max pressure" stuff. AND, they are going to octuple their efforts to suppress voting, shut down polling places, and just flat-out interfere with voting in any place where democrats may be found. The chances of Trump simply declaring a made-up national emergency (or creating one, like by literally going to war with Mexico or some stupid shit) and cancelling elections (enforced by the national guard and ICE, which will see its mission vastly expanded as they function as the Trump regime's STASI) just went up materially. The next year is going to be hell on earth. And if the dems have any fucking brains at all, they should WELCOME it. No compromise. No quarter. No nothing. Stand firm and fight, and make the fascists reveal themselves for what they are: grifting fucksticks stealing our nation for the benefit of their oligarch buddies just to serve the interest of their hateful little egos. Make them amp up their atrocities and theft, and make them do it out in broad daylight. And yield NOT A SINGLE FUCKING INCH OF GROUND. Just stand firm and tell them "no. Fuck off."
  8. CNN should be concerned about my demand that they lick my sweaty asshole. Fucking collaborators.
  9. Dems should not compromise with this regime. On anything. Not a single fucking thing. Ever. The refine has declared war on America - or at least, everyone in America who is not a 100% MAGA loyalist - so treat them like you should. No compromise, and attack. This admin and everyone associated with it should face relentless litigation.
  10. You know what you do when you score a win against an enemy aiming to exterminate you? PRESS THE ATTACK TWICE AS HARD. California should redistrict for MAX Dem representation. Fuck this regime. Fuck the GQP. Fuck their voters, who value hurting people way more than helping anyone.
  11. “I could smell the onions and the mustard.”
  12. Cuomo could not be a bigger lying piece of shit if he tried. He’s up there giving a speech about how we’re all about unity, and for all races, black, Muslim, etc. Fucker just ran an openly xenophobic and racist campaign equating Mamdani with 9/11. Fuck off you hateful old piece of shit.
  13. I love that they think that….NYC is hell on earth, and surely businesses and people will flee to paradises like Tuscaloosa and Shreveport. Ok.
  14. Idiot shoulda taken it. Now he’s just a poor old man in a stupid beret.
  15. And I mean…not even close. The lege could present an amendment to require every Texan to eat an actual shit sandwich, and it would win 60-40 with our electorate.
  16. We’re approaching the spot in the timeline where the “unhinged people with TDS on the ledge” are dead center. It was always headed here. We’ve told yall for 10 years. We also lamented that it seemed that the only way the masses were going to understand would be when it got unbearably painful, and when it was too late to reverse things. And here we are.
  17. WTF? At the end of the 2 hours of maintenance, did the “check to make sure you reattached the engine” box not get checked?
  18. I predict that I will not lose my race. I accomplished this by not ENTERING any race, but I'll take my wins where I can get them these days.
  19. Reading posts on Surly for that purpose also gets you self-study continuing education credits from the State Psychiatry Board. Their official stance on using Surly posts for that purpose is "approved, but not recommended."
  20. Yeah, that was a "this plane is fucked up beyond all help" problem, not an ATC problem. WTF causes that, and it had to have been bad and fast for it not to have been able to get airborne.
  21. This. We have a big house right now - we raised kids in it, and we actually do entertain a good bit. And the kids do still come home for extended visits. So, great for now - more than we need, but it's fine for now. But long-term? Exactly what you said. We'll likely end up where one of our kids lives anyway come retirement time (which almost certainly will not be Texas). So....a nice, modest place to land, where we get to get out and about and do shit (being active helps keep you going and alive), AND it's not as much work or cost to maintain? Yes please. If we end up in Scotland or Germany or the NE US with a modest house/flat, we build some community, we get to see our grandkids, tell me how that isn't a win? Texas and giant-ass houses on golf courses lifestyle is not great.
  22. Yeah...that's f'n awful. And here's hoping there weren't (many) casualties on the ground.
  23. The boy just shared his latest effort. Which is especially masterful being that he lives across the ocean. That said, he found THE mexican grocery in Glasgow (yeah, they know him there), where he can obtain the ingredients he needs. Braised the beef all day, tacos dorados on the griddle, with homemeade salsa. And a jarritos de pina, of course.
  24. It's not hostile at all. That would be the Republic acting in self-defense. Frankly, it should be illegal NOT to launch into the sun such poisonous, anti-American assholes who proudly ass-rape the Constitution.
  25. Counterpoint....even Dick fucking Cheney knew this regime is an existential threat to the Republic and humanity. When even Dick Cheney thinks you're a piece of chit.....goddamn.
