  1. 6 minutes ago, Pig Bellmont said:

    Yes. The king is mad and dug in. Honestly Congress taking away the tariff button isn’t enough. He needs to be removed from office 

    1) Yes, that is the only way.

    2) And will never happen.

    Trump could launch a nuke against Seattle, and it would never happen.  He could raid Fort Knox, take all the gold, ship it offshore to an account loudly proclaimed "DONALD TRUMP'S PERSONAL ACCOUNT," and it would never happen.  

    Nobody is coming to save us.  Our only hope is his death.

  2. The damage he is - single-handedly - doing not just to the US economy but to markets and economies the world over…is approaching “act of war” levels. Rapidly.
    We are entering WWIII…and it’s a primarily economic war (to start) being waged by the US vs…everyone else on earth (except Russia and North Korea).
    The rest of the world is literally under attack by the US. And they will respond. He’s leaving them little choice. Things like expelling US citizens, seizing US assets…those are going to have to be on the table.
    This is madness. Seriously, it’s not much less deranged than if he launched a nuke somewhere.

  3. The hilarious thing that occurred to me this morning.  When all of this is over, whenever and however it ends, we are going to have a lot of work to do to....(checks notes) make America great again.  

    Generations worth of work.
    And we’ll never restore it all. Once the empire is lost, it’s lost. Ask Great Britain.

  4. Our best chances came on the first two minutes.  I keep waiting for our offense to click, but they really haven't yet. 
    Owen played another good match. 
    Buka is pretty ineffective when he gets the ball on the defensive side. 
    Defense has only conceded 3 goals in 7 games - that's incredible.
    One point is better than nothing. 

    Great chances early, then a real shift back to a strong attack with late subs. Kolmanic adds a real spark.

  5. Gave our tickets to the kids, so we'll be watching from the comfort of our living room.  
    VERDE!

    Was chilly as hell, yet again.

    So many damn chances, so many misses. Super frustrating. Stu’s save right at the end looked to be a point-saver.

  6. We’re now fully in the phase where the autocrat actually enjoys doing things that are patently stupid and harmful, because that is the ultimate display of raw power: buttfuck the people in full view, as a “and wadda ya gonna do about it?” display of power.
    All he cares about is showing that he’s the most powerful man on earth, and cruel and arbitrary displays of power are a simple way to do that.
    It’s going to get much, much worse. I’m talking about something like “at war with a NATO nation” worse. There are no limits here, and all guardrails are gone.
    Our only way out is blood. Lots of it. Here.

  7. There isn't going to be any significant manufacturing brought back. No companies are going to outlay the expense to scale up domestic manufacturing for shit we haven't made for decades. The only way it happens is if the federal government pays for the infrastructure build to do it, then you have a situation where the government is paying and controlling the means of production. 
    Hello Communism! 
    What a crock of shit this whole thing is. All that's going to happen is we all get screwed on prices until Trump either relents or gets impeached/assassinated. Then the race will begin to put the bb's back into a box that was already destroyed. This is the beginning of the end of the US being the center of the global economy. 

    Correct.
    If a foreign power was doing to us what Trump is doing, we’d already be at war.

  8. We picked up Rosati’s (cedar park) last Sunday because we were craving a Chicago style, and miss Mangia. Got sausage, pepperoni, mushroom, and green olives. And gotdamn, it was good.

  9. Well, that depends on what level of quality & features are on your want list. 
    But nobody’s giving them away.

    I’m a simple man, fan of the classics. I’ve shot a Colt and a Browning in the past (my uncle and godfather was an ATF agent, and a Browning 1911 was his regular carry). Prefer a darker finish, but otherwise, I’m just into a reliable, smooth action. What “features” am I looking at other than “goes bang reliably and puts rounds on target?”

  10. That’s some of it but other things:
    Low capacity
    Mainly 45
    Tons of supply even domestic
    Older people (fans) getting dead

    If you wanted a 9mm 1911 just get a 2011.

    So…where would one find one of these .45 1911 bargains? Because that’s literally the final firearm on my “I’d like this but don’t have it” list.

  11. The competing narrative is the deceased and his twin had been bullying the suspect, including breaking his phone weeks beforehand and calling him racial slurs
    So if that narrative is accurate it sounds like a young kid being an idiot and taking matters into his own hands instead of getting adults to intervene. In this narrative the suspect intended to make a stand to get the bullies off his back and it all went wrong 
    But I wouldn’t buy that narrative at face value any more than I’d buy the victims family’s initial narrative at face value 
    Seems like relatively normal teenage kid shit that took a very unfortunate turn. And since its 2025 a bunch of idiots (on both sides) run to present a caricature of the situation that pushes their preferred political perspective

    This is a great post. So far, appears to be some young brain decision making gone way wrong. Guys fuck with me, I don’t take shit from them, so I bring a knife with me, and end up using it. Nothing but bad decisions all around. But “unbroken string of bad decisions, by people incapable of seeing being themselves” is our national ethos these days, so where’s the surprise?

  12. Fancy? No.
    Perfection on a Saturday morning? Fuck yes.
    Drove through East Bernard earlier this week. Stopped at Vincek’s. Loaded up on their house-made pecan smoked bacon. Maybe the best in the state.

    Yeah, had eggs with it and all that. But bacon is the star.

  13. Where the fuck have you been the last 10 years?  Mockery just makes them dig in even more.  It doesn't work.  Stop thinking it will work.

    Correct. Skip mockery. Go to inflicting real pain and suffering. Make them lose their jobs. End their schools. Cut off their benefits. Ruin their personal lives.
    They have declared and waged war on this country. Fight back.

  14. Uh, about that . . . prepare to see an amazing comeback or another disappointment today.

    Well, I assuaged myself by flipping over to watch the aggy baseball team do its impression of the United States: they just got both run-ruled AND no-hit, losing to Tennessee 10-0. It was magnificent…until I realized the metaphor.
