  1. He could leave this entire country as a pile of smoldering, radioactive rubble.....and his support wouldn't dip. Because these idiots would see some other people crying in the ashes of their home, and immediately think "hurr durr, Trump really owned those libs! WINNING!" When you realize that a poisonous percentage of humanity finds joy, satisfaction, and success ONLY when other people are harmed, you realize that our species is on borrowed time.
  2. This seems bad. Until you realize that an opportunity to monetize nihilist cruelty has American political and thought leaders foaming at the mouth at the opportunity. There is a 100% chance that Elon approves of this sort of thing, and that folks you know very, very well are figuring out how to sell off the right to kill people for profit right now.
  3. Oh boy....here we go again....
  4. Also, the fucking casual racism that is now not just okay, but is our actual national policy, is fucking incredible. Referring to anyone from South America: "Don't know why they are so dirty given the fact that there are so many maids." It's just fucking casual and ingrained in these pieces of shit. So, what's the big deal if we bomb a bunch of dirty beaners anyway? That is absolutely 100% the ethos governing our nation right now. To say I hate these fuckers is a massive understatement.
  5. Shit, dude. It seems to be a prerequisite these days.
  6. Is there a book version of that story? Is it available used?
  7. Oh, I mean....yeah, that goes without saying. Evil bitches can still be hot. Hell, sometimes the "evil" part adds a point.
  8. I was told we could "build a wall" to keep bad people out. Wall-off shit states. Gonna take a lotta bricks, though.
  9. It's France. Why they didn't have a PW of "cigarettesandhairypits," I just can't understand.
  10. It's the psychological distinction between "attracted to pre-pubescent" vs. "attracted to post-pubescent." But legally and morally -- which is Megyn's field, she's no fucking psychologist -- that distinction don't make a shit. An adult male being predatorial towards an 8 yr old girl vs. a 14 year old girl makes not a bit of fucking difference. Megyn's an evil bitch.
  11. I dunno. Could be for lots of things. Okay, actual answer -- the communion bread is torn by hand and then served to each person, so I guess it's to keep the server's germy hands from touching the bread. I don't think it was a particularly necessary matter during COVID - wash and sanitize your hands right before you serve, and all is good.
  12. Imagine us missing the decency and competence of people like Cohen and Scaramucci.....Holy fucking shit.
  13. Bolded the word that is missing from every GQP person. I mean, it's like a missing chromosome or something -- it just ain't fucking there, and it ain't never gonna be there.
  14. And...yep. The cross-examination of Colonel Jessup, and the observation that "I think he WANTS to say it" (that he ordered the code red) was not made up. It's how people (mostly men) like him operate. I've examined witnesses like him - and yeah, that often happens. Get them going, and they will give you the "fuck yeah we did" answer of some sort (it's usually not as dramatic as Jessup's, but sometimes just as meaningful). And yeah....I've also defended a couple of witnesses like that. And there is no controlling them or "training that tendency out of them." They are who they are, and no piss-ant lawyer's gonna tell 'em what to do. Occasionally, the smarter ones will later sheepishly acknowledge "well, I guess I made a pretty big mess for you to clean up." The only proper answer is "yes you did. But that's what you're paying me for." If you bill by the hour....those can be good clients/witnesses to have. There are some interesting observations here that I do wish more of the general population actually knew and understood (e.g., how the rich and powerful don't conceal their shitbaggery). There's probably a good list of "shit we have learned about people over the years" that we should compile. Lawyers have a lot of such lessons/perspectives, but I know that engineers, managers, and the like, have their own observed truths to share too.
  15. "Career ending." God, I find it just adorable that there are people out there who think decency and morality and standards and shit exist and apply to the right.
  16. Actually, inflation adjusted....the $7 box is close to on par with the old 59 79 99 value menu.
  17. I just listed two that linger in our church. Now, I don't think it was any sort of deliberate decision, just inertia. Once you do it a certain way for a while (eg, communion servers wearing vinyl gloves), it falls into the "that's the way we've always done it" trap.
  18. ....SO FAR..... Wait till the 2032 presidential race between Kid Rock and Taylor Swift.
  19. We should probably fucking do something about that shit.
  20. I hear ya. "Sending out cringy AI erotica for incels on the social media platform that he also owns" is an absolute requirement for me. That, of course, is why I am loyal to this platform and @immamac
  21. Someone needs to watch the Sexual Harassment Prevention video from HR.....
  22. That definitely had an affect. Shit, it did for us. We didn't really start attending church again till about a year ago. We got too comfy in our lazy Sunday mornings, just coffee and conversation. It was a good distraction, but at the same time, we ended up realizing that we were missing something. And I'd say church services themselves STILL haven't really gotten over COVID. A lot of leftovers (communion servers wear gloves, people don't hold hands during the Lord's Prayer, lotta little things like that). There's a confluence of factors, to be sure.
  23. That's my wife's (hopeful) take: resurrection is a foundational element of Christianity. Not just the "event" of resurrection, but the very concept. And, to be resurrected....a thing must first die. So, maybe it's time for "Christianity" to die. Which is a rough process, sad, and costly. But if Christianity can be what is resurrected, then perhaps that is The Way. We have a lot further to go, though. A LOT further.
  24. 1) Fuck that shit, he'll turn out to be MAGA. 2) Like the slogan though -- "Be a lot cooler if you did." That's good stuff.
