  1. Well, in the near term, won't it make oil prices go up? A war would likely shut down much of Venezuela's oil production and shipping, right? One thing is for sure: figure out the best insider trading options on this play, and watch them for movement. Sharp movement will tell you that regime insiders are using their information to profit before imminent military action goes down. That's a 100% guarantee.
  2. But you earned your "tipped the stripper" badge long ago....
  3. Just light a match near any Surly poster's ass at a tailgate, and you'll get similar performance.
  4. Cool. OH THE FUCKING IRONY.
  5. There's a whole manual out there. For real. Like, particular rules and procedures for peaceful demonstrations, designated persons in safe positions with a roster of participants (so all can be accounted for). They will even hand out color-coded wrist-bands for those who are okay with being arrested, those who will leave on being told they will be arrested, etc. Resources are available online, and you would be well-served by consulting with them, and/or participating with an organized group (there are many civil and social justice organizations actively involved).
  6. From your lips to Satan's ears.
  7. But, I mean....she gets to keep her "Alabama Teacher of the Year" title, and deservedly so.
  8. I mean, the source problem here is that Kash is solely a sub-par sycophantic social media influencer who was suddenly put in charge of one of the most complex apparatuses in the world -- a challenging mix of legal, intelligence, and law enforcement functions/challenges. And the often unrecognized fault with such people is that they are SO incompetent that they've never had access to real power (or wealth) before, so when they are handed the keys to the kingdom, they can't HELP but abuse it and loot it for personal gain, like an undisciplined kid given the keys to the candy store. And in terms of running a complex system, it was like putting a monkey at the stick of an F-35; it was always going to crash, it's just a question of when and how. The fantastic thing is that the rest of Trump's "hires" are little better. Kegbreath, Bondi, Homan. Incompetents and grifters. Literally the only thing they bring to the table is complete, slavish loyalty to Trump. Which, not coincidentally, is the only attribute on the planet that he values. I will stick with the source yiddish, thank you very much.
  9. I mean, that gal sounded exactly like the measured, sane, rational MAGA types we all know and love. But I quibble very, very strongly with one thing. She said Gretchen Whitmer has an ugly butt. I strongly disagree. From what I can tell, she has a lovely and tasteful age-appropriate tuchus. So, that was just uncalled for.
  10. A concoction that works for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
  11. The irony of Flynn bitching that someone "committed crimes against our country." In any other functioning state, Flynn would have been publicly hanged long ago, for actual fucking treason.
  12. Yeah, there's really no other way to read that, is there? Fucking funny as hell. "These assholes insist that our FSD system 'not steer cars into oncoming traffic,' and 'not run over and kill pedestrians in crosswalks,' and all kinds of overly burdensome regulatory-sounding bullshit. We are a freedom company!"
  13. Yeah, I don't understand such old-fashioned terms. Next thing you know, we'll have to hop on the next jitney to 23 skidoo outta here and find a new place to live.
  14. Yeah. But $1.99 for a "gravy flight" sounds fucking magical.
  15. Hey, Candace might be on to something....Just released new security cam footage capturing Kirk's assassin in the act:
  16. Our answer to the dumbass Venezuelans who voted for this shit: ....and not the way they want it to.
  17. When you realize that our state is run by unprincipled spineless cowards whose sole source of self-satisfaction is punching down.....the conundrum checks out.
  18. Yes, we would. Because we are not a functioning country anymore. We are a crackpot kleptocratic autocracy - a real outsider among developed nations these days. 2025 can have "has her own show," or "member of the cabinet," or any number of wacky shit like that.
  19. No. It won't be. Give me a crew and an afternoon, we'll have it scraped, refinished, and repainted. And yeah, the crew will look entirely like this:
  20. This is the bottom line. Talk about having a WILDLY inflated sense of her importance. Seriously....why in the fuck would the French government want to kill her? What fucking threat is a single batshit crazy person with a mid podcast? She's not. You defamed Macron personally, they sued you. That's not a national security or "have her killed to silence her" issue. She's not important. She's just crazy.
  21. There is a non-zero chance that within the next year, she'll be shot in the face with a pepperball by some ICE asshole, arrested, or both. All while wearing her clerical collar, clearly marking herself as clergy. And those dumbasses don't realize that will just piss her off even more.
  22. There's a whole lot of this. My wife has commented flatly "I will not have my children and grandchildren wondering for even a moment whether I was complicit, or whether I stood with humanity." That is 100% where we are as a society. Are you the kind of person who would have hidden Anne Frank, or the kind who would turn her in? There's no middle fucking ground. Yellow fever got the job fucking DONE. Time to bring it back. Honestly, I suspect RFK will get us there sooner than you think.
  23. Well, there may actually be some legit attorney-client stuff in there - quite a bit, maybe. When the compact offer/demand came in, I suspect that there were significant conversations with legal counsel regarding risks, repercussions, possible responsive strategies, etc., and a good bit of back and forth on that. Any communication sent to the Trump administration - a third party - would NOT be privileged. Now....that assertion of privilege will be reviewed by our Attorney General's office, and that Open Records division is . . . .short-staffed, by woefully inexperienced people (they ran off all the experienced folks) and (this is different than it used to be) much more susceptible to pressure/demands from politicians above than it used to be. So, that part of the process isn't so great. But, once they issue their decision and records are withheld, the requestors can appeal that and take it to court for a legit third-party evaluation of whether the privilege actually applies.
