  1. Huh, learned something new.
  2. The lesson here is that next time, we need to actually put fascist heads on actual pikes.
  3. Preach. We fucked that up as well. That said, when the boys get older and really need food volume, and start spending their own money…they learn how to eat cheap.
  4. This. Chill. And close. This. Out.
  5. Yep, that’s what I wanted.
  6. Ok…add to that run total here….
  7. In the end, they still gotta have a case with evidence that will get them a conviction. That's why due process really, really matters. It ain't about what they say on Fox news over and over. It's about what they can prove in a court, according to the applicable rules and law.
  8. Duh. There is not a single element of the presidency, or the Republic, that is not for sale. To anyone. Even our worst enemies. Doesn't matter. If you can pay, you can have whatever you want.
  9. Huh? I've had west coast oysters in several places in Austin. And I've bought them to shuck at home from Whole Foods (their Friday $1 oyster deal is fantastic).
  10. Pig figured out the game right away. An easy and unstoppable loophole for the Regime to funnel unlimited taxpayer dollars into the pockets of the people/organizations it favors. Name a person or group...any person or group. The "Organization of Evil Fuckheads." They file suit, seeking $100 billion. Behind the scenes, the Regime gets them to agree that they will use the money to buy weapons and kill anyone who opposes Trump. Getting that agreement, the Regime has its fully-owned, zero-independence DOJ show up in court and say "yeah, the government back when Biden was president did the Organization of Evil Fuckheads wrong when it prosecuted them for committing all of these crimes that they absolutely 100% committed. The government accepts liability, and hereby enters into an agreed judgment awarding the OEF $100 billion." Done. It's that easy. Our system has a fatal flaw: it did not anticipate -- and truly, could not anticipate and could never fully guard against -- a purely malevolent, bad-faith actor becoming POTUS. It has weaknesses you can drive a truck through. And Trump just turned everything over to a buncha truck drivers.
  11. Following the law, and not violating basic constitutional rights? Yes. For this regime, it's nearly impossible. It's antithetical to their entire being and existence.
  12. Oh, you missed the second part of SCOTUS's actions today. Yes, the Court did this: But it ALSO did this: Need the TLDR version? Sure. DOGE can have all of the people's data. But the people cannot get any of DOGE's information. We live in an oligarchical autocracy. It's done.
  13. Galloway's stuff has done a decent job of talking about solutions. The problem is, it took us decades to get in this hole....and it's gonna take us decades to get out of it. AND, it requires cultural shifts, like "make caring about other human beings a good thing again," and "emphasize, incentivize, and create opportunities for real face-to-face human relationship." All of which can fall under the broader umbrella of "community." "Individualism," particularly the toxic brand of same that is sold as the exclusive virtue of existence in American society, is killing us. And.....this is not new. This book came out 25 years ago: We need community. We need third places. We need each other. We're killing ourselves in individual pods of loneliness and lack of support and camaraderie. I know that my male friendships, and actual face-to-face connection with same, is a key element in keeping me sane and healthy. Not a side note, but central to my basic humanity and well-being. We make each other better.
  14. So much this. "Abrego is a human trafficker who sacrificed puppies and stole the Declaration of Independence and also collaborated with the computers controlling the Matrix to hand over Neo!" Cool. If you've got the evidence, 1) bring charges, and 2) get a conviction, 3) in a court following and applying the law of the land. If not, then what she said has the exact same import and value as my post on a sports message board. Anyone can say anything about anyone. It's meaningless. Adjudication pursuant to due process? Well then, NOW we're talking.
  15. No, see, allowing manufacturing of critical materials like semiconductors and whatnot to be controlled by other countries = STRATEGIC IDIOCY but Allowing manufacturing and control of entire swaths of critical functions and infrastructure to be controlled by a single mercurial drug-addled malignant narcissist who openly states that he is above and apart from all laws = 5-D CHESS GEENYUS.
  16. "Posting on dueling websites that the other person reads" = ALPHA MALE! "Talking directly to each other and settling your differences like men" = beta cuck soy boy.
  17. Again....cult. As long as one of those guys is Trump, two guys having an all-day session of reciprocal anal sex and blowjobs while dressed in sissy-wear would be the NEW pinnacle of "alpha male heterosexual" behavior. None of it has to make any objective sense. In fact, it never will.
  18. Cool. And if there are good criminal charges against him and he is convicted, then removal/deportation, all of that, is available. Due process matters. Guilty people should be adjudicated guilty and then treated as such. Not-guilty people should be acquitted and then treated accordingly. That's it. That's the whole thing. We just don't - or shouldn't - live in a country where a King gets to declare you are guilty and subject you to punishment for same, and that's that.
  19. You can still have cold water oysters in the summer. Some tasty PNW oysters in June is a good, good thing.
  20. I love that they live in some imaginary world where Dems and non-MAGA opposes release of the Epstein files. When in reality, functionally all of us are of the "awesome, release files showing bad conduct and let the chips fall where they may."
  21. I think you're safe.
  22. Reddit has a lot more access to tits than this site does. I understand that may not be important to YOU, but to some of the other folks around here.....it has its charms.
  23. Did y'all get the Twitter posts on this in advance? Because....yeah, that's EXACTLY the path they're taking. Exactly. To the letter. There is nothing they won't excuse. Not a single thing.
  24. And last time I had Kreuz brisket, it was plenty good. Not as good as the truly great joints, but was happy to eat some slices on a foldover sammich. But that was a while ago.
