  1. So many of the high-value stocks are simply utter vibes and bullshit. It's insane. And the day that the world realizes the emperor has no clothes is going to be a fucking bloodbath market-wise. I mean, imagine if Tesla or AMD were actually valued based on their fundamentals tomorrow morning.
  2. Yep. I mean, how awesome is it to go into the pharmacy expecting to pay $10 for a bottle of pills, and instead they hand me a bottle of pills and $130 (or however that insane magic math would work)?
  3. Is there a percentage higher than 100?
  4. Cool. Yet here is the dominant ethos in this country. Seriously, it is the governing ethos, to the repressive and violent exclusion of everything else: We must "Make America Great Again," because "America is going to hell" and is awash in "American Carnage," with its cities being "war-torn." It's just more MAGA bullshit -- say both things (America is paradise, and also America is hell), so you can then argue either position against any critic of Trumpism, thus immunizing Trump against all criticism. How can you say Trump is bad for America? See the list above! How can you say Trump doesn't need to do whatever it takes to save America? See the fact that it's going to hell and American carnage! Fuck that bullshit.
  5. I don't want to live in ANY fascist country. That's why I want to keep you and your ilk from turning my country into one of them. But for the people around here other than you, I'd likely be quite happy living in Indonesia. What's that, it's literally the largest muslim country in the world? Huh. Would ya look at that. Probably woulda been happy in Turkiye some years ago, but wadda ya know, a right wing authoritarian piece of shit took it over. The very thing that's happening right here. And our piece of shit is going to start a war with Venezuela to distract from what a giant piece of shit he is.
  6. Sorry. Just calling it like I see it. And have seen it. For a fucking decade. And been right damn near all the goddamned time. Trust me, I'm more tired of being a fucking Debbie Downer than you are. I'm WAY fucking tired of it. Gimme a reason not to be, and I'll be fucking ecstatic.
  7. ^^^ Crowdsource this fucker (a second time -- he just got crowdsourced and created a new handle) and be done with it.
  8. Imagine thinking that Christofascism is the solution to Islamofascism. Well, you don't have to imagine it, we're living it. And we'll get to go to war with Venezuela to prove the might of our God King and his Christian ways soon enough. Yes, I remember that part of the Gospels, where Jesus said "Attack Venezuela to distract from the fact that you are a child rapist. Yea, verily, this is the way." Man. Give me more of those awesome western Christian values!
  9. We have, dude. We're just waiting till they're appropriately tanned.....
  10. You're right about one thing: we are utterly destroying this Republic, to the point that it is unsalvageable, FOR NO FUCKING GOOD OR SANE REASON AT ALL. If we were desperately poor and starving, I can see desperate people doing desperate things. And while we have created pretty staggering economic inequality (and wow....opting for a path that says "and let's ACCELERATE that, and create a world of billionaire oligarchs and slaves" is...a choice), we are self-immolating for no good reason at all. We just like hating other people and blaming them for everything, even things that aren't a problem (sorry, fuckheads, a trans high school volleyball player in Oregon is meaningless). But you're wrong about something similar occurring. It IS occurring. It's not just happening, it's done. Every failsafe has already failed. The damage is done. Now, we just wait for the final collapse. It will happen as these things always do: gradually, then all at once.
  11. "Obama being black" isn't a dumbass reason. I mean, it's a shitty, evil, racist reason. But....it's a reason. Wait...it's also a dumbass reason. My bad.
  12. The fascists have no interest in passing ANY meaningful immigration reform. Solving a problem (that isn't that much of a problem, empirically) that is the key to them taking and holding power, and keeping the American people inflamed? It would be political suicide. Can you imagine an America with a rational and balanced immigration policy? What the fuck would the fascists run on?
  13. I'm just waiting for Ka$h to come out with "evidence" that the suspect once talked to an immigrant, or they found a match with "antifa" carved into it or some shit. Until then, this isn't a credible story.
  14. No, see, those folks are incompatible with western society. These people? Well, they're the bedrock of good Western society.
  15. Well, see, he's a fascist. It's kind of their thing. Claim they are the bulwark in favor of democracy, free speech, and liberty....while they mount the most effective attack on all of those things we've ever seen in this country. It's kinda their thing. Kinda like how "libertarians" are the exact opposite of what they claim to be.
  16. Congratulations, your support of fascism has helped us get there today, right here in the USA. I'd rather deal with muslim immigrants than my own countrymen who want to end our Republic from within. Burn in hell.
  17. I still possess my testicles, so we know that has never happened. However, she has slept in the same bed with me after I spent all day tailgating eating BBQ, tacos, chicken wings, and drinking gallons of cheap beer. So I assume her tolerance of chemical attacks is off-the-charts.
  18. Neither do you. Go to hell.
  19. A pepper ball would only piss her off. Trust me. And she has participated in several exercises like this. And (1) you're damned right she wears her collar, because she is called to bear public witness, (2) they have extensive planning and training on how to deal with just this sort of thing. In fact, at some events, they wear color-coded armbands to indicate where they should be in position in the protest, and who is willing to be arrested if necessary. Honestly, the book on non-violent resistance is one of the only hopes we have. Make MAGA shoot and beat members of the clergy, publicly. AND, have a plan to make those images go worldwide and be amplified instantly (this is where "the resistance" is failing). And ultimately -- and this is important, and hard to stomach, but true -- it's going to take US troops, or paramilitary forces (and that's exactly what ICE is) opening fire en masse against members of the public. When there are images of a dozen dead Americans in the street, including a grandmother, a pastor, etc.....then you have a CHANCE to break through and break the nerve of the fascist-adjacent and apathetic people. Of course, there's also a tipping point that we're going to face as well: when the US military is ordered to slaughter Americans in America....what do they do? I am not optimistic about that. I do not trust them to honor their oath, or I at least fear that those who would do so will have been removed from the equation, and craven bloodthirsty fascist-sympathizers will have taken their place.
  20. And....there you have it. The policy of the new right is quite simply "white supremacy now, white supremacy forever." It all -- every single fucking thing -- comes back to that. The whole proxy of "no, we're just against ILLEGAL immigration," and "just do it the RIGHT way" has been tossed in the trash. See the simple example of the right having a conniption fit over....a US citizen who is one of the world's most popular artists being picked for the SB halftime show. He's a citizen. He's hugely popular. But....he's a dirty beaner who talks all messican and stuff. These people are just good old fashioned racist pieces of shit. We've had to fight them for the entirety of this country's existence, seems we're gonna have to keep doing so.
  21. Republicans are indeed being brutal and fighting among themselves.....over who can be at the front of the line in order to The only battle is over who can bow the lowest and pledge the most fealty to the Lord God King And Ruler Supreme Over All, His Majesty Lord Donald Trump.
  22. Bullshit. God never told me to stop touching myself. Not that I heard, anyway.
  23. Yeah, well...Candace Owens came to me in a dream. You know, that dream where you see yourself standing in sort of sun-god robes on a pyramid with a thousand naked women screaming and throwing little pickles at you? I think she was one of the gals throwing pickles. Or am I the only one who has that dream?
  24. Joke's on you. The conference was in San Diego that year, and I ditched the main session to watch an afternoon game at old Jack Murphy between the Padres and Stros. It was glorious. (That's a true story, by the way - first conference I ever went to, I was still a law student, and fuck yeah I ditched and went to a baseball game in 70 degree weather)
