    My old man and I had no Ashkenazi.  My wife does.

    I had like .02% North African though.

    Anyone who had any lineage from a group along the Mediterranean is gonna have a LOT of things thrown in the mix.  Because those are all maritime cultures.  And sailors are randy, and chicks in port cities were sluts.  Your g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g grandmother was a whore in Marseilles, and your g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g grandfather was a dirty Cypriot with money to spend.

    Feel like we've said some version of that 4 times the past 6 weeks 

    Every forecast of the arrival time of an actual cold front since Sept 1....probably through May of 2025 or so.....

  3. Quoted from bulwark article, Bezos, Trump, and the Failure of Democracy. 
    thebulwark.com  

    “Bezos understood that if he antagonized Kamala Harris and Harris became president, he would face no consequences. A Harris administration would not target his businesses because the Harris administration would—like all presidential administrations not headed by Trump—adhere to the rule of law.

    Bezos likewise understood that the inverse was not true. If he continued to antagonize Trump and Trump became president, his businesses very much would be targeted.”


    “Russian democracy died because their institutions and politicians were not strong enough to enforce the law. Sound familiar? I could identify half a dozen laws that Elon Musk has already broken without enforcement. Bezos censored the Post because he knows that nobody will enforce the law and keep Trump from seeking political retribution. And on and on. The corrosive effect on the rule of law is cumulative.

    The Bezos surrender is our warning bell about entering early-stage 1990s Russia. No legal system is able to survive when it there’s a class not subject to it because politicians are too cowardly to enforce the law.”

    “And that’s the foundational point. The Bezos surrender isn’t just a demonstration. It’s a consequence. It’s a signal that the rule of law has already eroded to such a point that even a person as powerful as Jeff Bezos no longer believes it can protect him.”

    Fuck. 


    This is what Brisket has been fucking saying for years now.

    Truly fascinating bookends for our history.  From shortly after 1939 to present, the US ascended to the top-spot in the world order.  When we elect the orange fascist to his second term (and make no mistake, that term will run as long as he lives, because he will be installed as president-for-life by the SCOTUS, not based on any law at all, but based on their fiats that are now unbound and unrestrained by any law or principle), it will be the formal end of that period.

    1941-2024.  That's a pretty good run, I guess.

    Yep.  Whereas, since childhood, INCLUDING the period in my life when I (foolishly and naively) voted more Repub than Dem, I have been a member of the "ahhh prairie shit....EVERYONE!" movement.

    Yes I think so, and that’s good, but I am not a fan of low propensity voters over 35. That screams Danica Patrick to me. 

    Great.  Now I have screaming Danica Patrick in my head.  Not great.

    I'm sure there are many that want Haley to step in and restore the party, but there is a great chance rock-solid 100% certainty that she gets primaried in favor of a really shitty white dickhead. 

    There is nothing left of the GQP that is NOT pure-dee white supremacist.  See below:

    Bingo.  The internet makes it easy to pull up newspapers from 130 years ago or so.  Pull them up, and read the anti-immigrant rants in there bitching about the Italians, Irish, and various other European ethnicities (and Chinese, if you pull up west coast papers).....they are literally, almost word-for-word, the EXACT fucking rants that the MAGAs are giving today.  All these ethnicities, which are now considered pretty damned American....MAGA fucking HATED.  

    MAGA: busy being wrong about immigrants for fucking centuries.  Pretty impressive track record of idiocy, frankly.

    I love DQ but you have to go into it knowing you're looking at easily 30 minutes taken out of your car trip if you stop off. I find it amusing to point out all the former DQ spots around town since they all had the same shape for 30+ years and were converted to other restaurants or strange places like a Bonsai tree store. 

    The former DQ outside of Mexia was converted into a really damned good Italian restaurant.  Frankie's Pizza and Pasta.  I highly recommend.

    Phone call from Egypt? With the POTUS on the other end of the line? WTF?!?!

    See, he got a whole package from Egypt. $10 million. A burner phone. And some delicious shawarma…which was totally wasted on him because it’s not a hamberder.

  9. OK, I’m assuming you have had time to sober up. I would like a serious serious response to this statement. Please list these 10 or fewer corporations who run the worlds as well as the fewer than 10 people who own them.

    (((Corporations)))
    Duh.
    A what? You mean like someone named Caedmon Weak-foot, who even still holds to Woden and Tiw at home while only nominally observing the Christian rite of the hated Norman invaders?

    Whoa there, big fella. I thought we were in the best in the trust tree.

    I gotta tell ya, that’s something that has at least amused me about this horrific timeline….there’s ALWAYS a tweet, and MAGAs are the DUMBEST MOTHERFUCKERS TO HAVE EVER WALKED THE EARTH.
    And this yahoo is so dumb he surely doesn’t even grasp his self-own idiocy.

  11. He won't release the money TX public schools are budgeted to have. Why would he spend that extra money on schools?

    Yeah…a better question would have been “do you know how many campaign donors be can give a 10x ROI with preferential spending of those dollars?”
    The regime is corrupt, to its core.
  12. Anyone else see Sting/Billy Joel last night in the Alamodome?  Holy shit, what a great show.  It was cool just hearing Sting's distinctive voice, but he can still rock, too. 
    And Billy Joel is such an entertainer.  I saw him at MSG maybe 9 years ago.  If you ever get the chance, go see him. 
    He was pissed the Yankees lost.
    To a stagehand: "They lost?  Walkoff grand slam? ... Shit. ... It's 9 oclock on a Saturday..."

    We were there - Billy Joel still puts on a great show. 50+ years of being an entertainer, and he just knows how to do it.
    We caught Sting’s last song. That’s it. What? BECAUE IT TOOK US 5 HOURS TO GET TO SA FROM AUSTIN YESTERDAY. Orange dipshit shut down Austin, so it took us over two hours to get from near NW Austin to Kyle. Then, multiple wrecks on 35. Then that put us near the Alamodome late, so traffic there cost us another hour. It was a shitshow.

  13. Uh really? You think a first generation Indian immigrant has the same dedication as a 7th generation Anglo Saxon? Are you that stupid? I can move to Argentina becuase I fucking love the place but as a immigrant I probably wouldnt want to fucking invade the Maldvias because its still not really my country. I am a white dude i am talking about my personal opinon. Dont make everything fucking race based.

    Quoted because I want to make sure this doesn’t go away or get deleted. This needs to stay out in the light of day for all to see.
