  1. "Thank you for your attention to this matter." We have an actual madman in the White House, and nobody is stopping him. This is how it ends. I fucking told you all.
  2. [concerning pic] But it's all worth it, so we don't have to listen to more uppity darkies talking about how cops beat them up, and there won't be a trans volleyball player on the squad at Upper Northwestern Southeastern State Tech and Beauty School. IT'S ALL WORTH IT.
  3. "MY NEW TARIFFS ON CHINA ARE A MILLION BILLION GILLION JILLAIN KERBALLION PERCENT!" He is, quite literally and completely, insane. We are being run by a madman, and he is surrounded by nothing but sycophants and enablers. This doesn't end until DC burns to the ground, quite literally. Meaning it either doesn't end....or by the time it does, all is lost, because we've burned our own capital city.
  4. DJIA has lost 16% of its value since inauguration day....and we ain't even CLOSE to done with the fallout. All to "bring back" jobs like "stitching Nike shoes together" from Vietnam and shit. It is impossible to capture how stupid this all is. Much of it driven by an "economist" who LITERALLY MADE UP A SOURCE -- WHICH WAS REALLY HIMSELF -- IN THE BOOK HE WROTE ON ECONOMICS. You can't make this shit up. Nobody could.
  5. What happened to that "Nikkei, please" pic that was on TOS? Guess we need to dig that up again.
  6. Actually, that's why it's the perfect analogy. Cars don't have rights. Brown people don't have rights. That's the way it be in America, 2025.
  7. 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.
  8. FIF delicousness.
  9. So, let's just check in on the key accomplishments of the Trump admin after....a mere 11 weeks: 1) Completely destroyed America's relationship with every last one of its allies. We will never be a trusted ally again, with anyone. Including countries like fucking Canada and the UK. And let's not overlook the very real chance that we'll be in a shooting war with one of our allies before his term is up. 2) Destroyed America's defense industry's ability to sell to allies (see point 1 above). 3) Declared economic nuclear war on.....literally the entire fucking planet. The whole planet. All of it. The US is their declared economic entity in an unprovoked and insane trade war. Thus also destroying the US's status as a trusted trading partner -- every country with any brain is already working itself free from economic entanglement with the US. 4) Cratered the entire global economy (after all, we do make up 25% of the global GDP)...see point 3 above. Recession is now inevitable. His idiocy has erased, literally, tens of trillions of dollars in value/wealth world-wide. An actual shooting war would have a hard time inflicting that much damage. 5) Eliminated any strategic/preventative health and disease work in the US. We are already seeing outbreaks of viral diseases, and the only authorized response of the admin is...take cod liver oil and vitamins and shit. Vaccines are out. There is a good chance that in the coming years, certain vaccines will be outright banned in the US. 6) Literally erasing history with respect to any person who isn't a white male. Harriet Tubman, Jackie Robinson, Tuskeegee airmen, Rosa Parks....erase them, because the fact that they are products of fighting against a racist system makes fragile white people feel bad. 7) Dispensing with the rule of law altogether, starting with its application to non-white people. If you're a criminal, you can be deported without any due process, and all that takes is for the admin to declare that you're a criminal. Wait, why didn't I get any due process to contest that finding? Duh, because you're a criminal! Nevermind the excercises of executive authority that intrude on the power of Congress, and are flatly illegal. Nothing matters anymore, this admin is completely unrestrained by any laws. 8- Ramping up demonization of the "other." Read the multiple incoming, and counting, reports of people flat-out telling more brown people (actual Americans, by the way) to GTFO. We will see more Wal-Mart-style attacks too. It's just a matter of time. 9) Draconian approaches to immigrants, INCLUDING otherwise law-abiding immigrants who are performing an actual economic function here. Good luck building anything in the next year. Who's gonna build it? And with building supplies costing an extra 25% on top of it? Enjoy paying more for all of your food. Shit, I could go on and on and on. But I don't think that any sane person can question the conclusion that this is the most disastrous first 3 months of a presidential administration in US history. But remember....IT IS GOING TO GET WORSE.
  10. Musk needs to drink hemlock. He was a chief creator of this monster. When this is over, his body needs to be one of the many ceremonially shoved onto a hole with a bulldozer. He has created destruction and death on a global scale (yep, see what shutting down USAID has already done). His death will be a glorious moment for humanity. May his ketamine be laced, or may he just finally grasp how hated he is and end it all.
  11. 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.
  12. Generations worth of work. And we’ll never restore it all. Once the empire is lost, it’s lost. Ask Great Britain.

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

    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.
  15. Like we’re going to have the luxury of choosing.
  16. 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.
  17. Correct. If a foreign power was doing to us what Trump is doing, we’d already be at war.

    Pizza

    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.
  19. 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?”
  20. 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.
  21. 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?
  22. 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.
  23. Remember when you “rented” your phone from the phone company?
  24. 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.
