  1. Yeah....old Winston may have been too optimistic. It may need to be tweaked to "you can always count on Americans to do something shitty, because Americans are shitty."
  2. Fuck your castle. Fuck your citizenship. Fuck your rights. Fuck your freedom. Fuck you. Those are the core values of the Regime. You best not fucking forget it. The Gestapo is here, and there's no going back.
  3. We’re being governed by the people everyone fucking loathed - correctly - in high school. They’re fucking losers who have one thing: money. They have nothing else. They are truly bankrupt of every other quality or attribute a human could have.
  4. None of the “anti-authoritarian libertarian” types are actually against an authoritarian government. They only have a problem with a hypothetical authoritarian government that acts against “real Americans” (good conservative white folks). That government can crush as many minorities and liberals as it wants, and they won’t have a single problem with it. “I’m a libertarian” may be the biggest political lie of the last 50 years. I haven’t seen a one who has the slightest concern about a right wing authoritarian government.
  5. Yeah, I’m truly unsure. It’s been 5 years since I’ve flown out of Canada, but even though we clear customs there, I thought duty free was outside of that. But my memory could surely be wrong,
  6. Seen by a friend departing out of Calgary: Good. Fuck us.
  7. Then cause as many casualties as you can on the way down. The bonus is that "the only possible strategy that has a chance of winning an election" and "a strategy for destroying American society and the Republic" are pretty much the same thing. "The only winning move is not to play." But....we're playing, and we have no fucking choice in the matter.
  8. No, I don't think that. I know it. Gee, ya fucking think? The only way to convince people to do anything politically is to feed the rage machine/amygdala, preferably with a torrent of inflammatory lies that don't even need to have the air of truth about them. Truth, reason, and logic, are poison, and nothing but loser-juice. Pour them out and be done with them, they have ZERO place in American political action.
  9. True fact. Tomato Europe, generally not operating as smoothly as potato Europe. Generally better grub, though.
  10. They are 100% necessary. Reality is not inflammatory enough. We are not communicating with people's logic and reason centers. Those parts of the human brain were destroyed by a quirk of evolution over the last few decades. We are communicating solely with the amygdala, and those things light up like a goddamned Christmas tree at lies -- the more outrageous, the better.
  11. This. We need 100,000 TikToks about how Trump betrayed everyone by stealing $500 billion from the treasury to buy a private child sex island, and how Trump has personally stolen $5000 from each person's SS account. Lie. Lie a lot. But make them direct, targeted, outrageous, infuriating lies. Learn from your fucking enemy.
  12. I mean, I've made a hard turn/evasive action that made me spill my coffee in the car. So, same-same, really.
  13. Accepted. Fewer words gooder.
  14. I liked the message of betrayal earlier. The idiots won't accept that they've fallen for a lie, but they will believe that "he's changed, he's not the man I voted for." That's stupid and wrong -- he's the same lying POS he always was, but remember, you have to tell the idiots the sweet little lies that will get some of them to change course. "Trump betrayed you." "Trump said he'd fight for you, real Americans. He betrayed you -- he's too busy handing out favors to foreign billionaires to care about you." "Trump betrayed you -- he's destroying your businesses, while he hands out billions in government contracts to his foreign billionaire buddies." "Trump betrayed you -- he's too busy shoving his billionaire buddies' dollars in his pockets to do anything to help real working Americans." "Trump betrayed you -- he said he was going to stand up for you, but when foreign billionaires offered him stacks of cash, he couldn't resist. He tossed you aside like trash, and now he's lying to you, thinking that you're too dumb to see how he has betrayed you for money. You're not dumb -- you see what he's done." Etc. etc. TRUMP HAS BETRAYED US. Repeat that 500 million motherfucking times. Say it before you order your goddamned coffee. Say it as part of your wedding vows. Make it our new national fucking motto.
  15. Unless, of course, you beat up a cop in the name of Donald Trump, or defraud the fuck out of people and contribute a chunk of money to Trump, in which case you will be given a pardon and called a "patriot." No fucking Republican ever gets to use the phrase "law & order" ever fucking again. The only phrase they can legitimately use is "laws for thee, but not for me."
  16. I mean, at this point, the Dems need a tip-of-the-spear that says something as plainly as "I'm not a fucking pussy, and I'll fight that piece of shit to the fucking death." In pretty much those exact words.
  17. Also....and this is very, very, very, very, very important: become comfortable, and right quick, with LYING. Lie big, lie little, lie everywhere in between. Lies are rocket fuel for outrage and thus energy and engagement. "Donald Trump condemned puppies to die and laughed about it!" "Trump is ending your Social Security!" "Trump stole your retirement money and is building a secret island lair for pedophiles!" Whatever. Workshop 10,000 such lies, then go with the ones that raise the temperature the most. Fight fire with fire. The ecosystem and rules have been established. For the love of God, stop pretending that ANY of the old rules still apply. The reason that the Dems keep getting hoisted on the standards of the old rules is because the Dems are the only fucking idiots who keep insisting that the old rules still exist and apply. The Dems are old aristocrat-built armies in fancy uniforms with feathered helmets marching in a straight line into machine gun fire. Fucking stop. The old way is over. Rules and norms are over. All that matters is winning, because unless you do that, you can't save a single fucking thing that matters.
  18. I think the issue is battery life cycle. A NMC battery will putter out after significantly fewer charges than a LFP battery. It's a slightly higher performer, but will need to be replaced much sooner.
  19. I had lived in Austin all of two weeks when I encountered a similar crowd at a free Joe Walsh concert in Zilker. The sight of so many hairy female legs and the smell of so much weed and patchouli was a bit of a shock to my relatively sheltered Houstonian senses. I realized I definitely "ain't in Kansas anymore." Good to see that vibe still exists here, at least a little bit. It's not MY vibe, but I'm glad it's around.
  20. Yep. And all that the liberals have to do is paint Poilievre as a Canadian Trumpist (they say all the same shit)....which they did. Effortlessly, really. I am not a man given to ANY hope these days. But it is POSSIBLE that one silver lining of Trump functionally declaring war on the entire world (yes, MAGAs, that's what launching a trade war against literally every country (except Russia and such, of course), and characterizing those countries as our enemies (his actual word) does) is that in the rest of the world, Trump-style right-wing autocrat/fascist/racist candidates are much less attractive than they once were. The Economist did a whole piece on this. We'll see how it turns out, but if you are in a country that Trump has recently shit on and threatened your trade and/or sovereignty (so....every country), Trump is becoming a toxic brand.
  21. "Vote for the guy who I say will surrender your sovereignty." That's a strong, strong pitch there, Donnie.
