  1. Imagine how awful your character must be for literally one of the worst humans around to say "holy shit, even I am disgusted by this guy." Trump's character is below the level of Jeffrey Child-fucking Epstein. And MAGA worships the man like a literal god.
  2. And the Dem response should be short and to the point: "Insane president Trump just called on us to be killed for calling on patriotic americans to follow the law. He wants to murder people who refuse to break the law for him. He's a criminal, and every day, all he does is commit crimes to hurt you and enrich himself."
  3. Fucking hell. Looks like complete engine/pylon separation happened FIRST. That is, the engine didn't blow and have its disintegration cause structural failures - looks like the structural failure happened, causing the catastrophic damage on its own. And yeah, they were already nose-up and almost airborne.....no possible time or way to abort takeoff. Furk.
  4. That 100% checks out. One they get a few $500 steak dinners and $100 glasses of scotch experiences, they convince themselves that these are golden times and will never end. Anyone with a single gray hair knows that's bullshit. The music always stops, eventually.
  5. Just the President of the United States, calling for the death of members of the opposing party for calling on members of the military to....follow the law. Nothing to see here. Seriously. This motherfucker is the worst human being this country has ever produced, and yes, I'm aware that's saying something. I mean, the USA produced Bob Stoops.
  6. It's all just the latest iteration of fake shit shell game bullshit. The Enron/Worldcom comparisons are perfect. The actual tools and mechanisms used are different, but the philosophy and ethos behind them are pretty much the same. They've just put flow meters on the money pipes. And so long as huge volumes of money are flowing through those money pipes, and showing up on the flow meter as big flows, then it doesn't really matter where the money is coming from or where it's going. Look at all this money (showing up on the flow meter)! Big things are happening! I truly can't believe that we're going to do the same stupid shit all over again, but then, I looked at the calendar. Enron etc. was a generation ago. Seems that each generation needs to touch the same hot stove. Put a pin in 2050 or so, when we'll run this same fucking drill all over again.
  7. On just one of many insane lies that Trump tells, one of my personal favorites is "America is respected again." Dude. We are a fucking joke. We are accelerating our journey to bassackwards klepto-state with nukes. And this is not the assessment of message-board posting ledge-dwellers. It's the fucking consensus of longtime respected observers and chroniclers of such things: Open grift and looting of the treasury by and for the regime and those it favors. All the shit we used to shake our heads about when we'd read a story about the Republic of Crookedstan, or some Latin American dictatorship. Now, it's happening right here at home, and the fucking MAGAts think that the fucking EXACT STUFF that makes those countries "shitholes" is currently making America....great again. I hate these fucking morons so fucking much.
  8. And that's only because they'd spend 4.5 of those minutes drinking dry multiple casks of whiskey and rum to fortify themselves for the task at hand. Dudes could really put it away back then.
  9. I mean....duh. The Musk empire is literally an open and proud South African white supremacist organization. There's no ambiguity or shyness about it -- Musk is grinning and proud about it.
  10. We are literally building ON PURPOSE an economy that has "scams and grift" as one of its central pillars. It's gone beyond "look, any time you have transactions and trade, there will be scammers operating on the margins" to "it's a material element of our economy, responsible for a sizable percentage of the money traded every day." It's not just amazing to watch it happen, it's super-amazing to watch our policy makers go all-in on supporting, encouraging, and (most importantly) joining in on it. TLDR: in this new economy, if you aren't ripping people off/grifting, what are you even doing?
  11. We had one chilly night. My wife lit a fire in the fireplace. It was nice. You know, lay down on the bearskin rug, pop open a bottle of Riunite....the good stuff. Would be nice if we had one or two more of those nights this year.
  12. An editorial that captured this dystopian world of weaponized, militarized, official-government-policy white supremacy pretty fucking well: Bottom line, that's it. That's the legal approach and regime we're dealing with. I fucking hate these people so fucking much. And if you support them, I fucking hate you too, and I hope that even 1/10th of the hell you support is visited on you and yours one day.
  13. As Lawmakers Take Aim at VPNs, the Privacy of Millions Could Be in Jeopardy - CNET https://share.google/KVsQYCcNBSan3eATN I’m sure all the folks who 1) shout about free speech and liberty all the time, and 2) also vote Republican all the time…will be right on this, to take a stand for their principles.
  14. Thought I’d share another one. Because mom always liked you best.
  15. Huh. Had a college buddy from that era who appeared in an episode of RSD. He had a love scene with his ass hanging out, and we never let him forget it.
  16. No, people. None of them will run against Trump, who is absolutely going to run on 2028. Not only will SCOTUS not block it, they’ll enjoin states against refusing to put him on the ballot. I’m not kidding, not even a little bit.
  17. I’m sure it’s not. See, if you pay a special $500 waiver fee, processed by Trumpco Inc, amalgamated, for a minimal 100% processing fee, you’re all good.
  18. I remember having a window after graduation, but before working, when I needed some coverage. I bought the cheapest, high-deductible plan available through Texas Exes. I referred to it as my "if I get hit by a bus plan," because that's all I would use it for. Just avoided the doctor for those 6 months, and I was young and healthy so it all worked out. So many people - including many with families - are about to be fucked. And an entire political party is okay with it, even though even their supporters say "no, see, we'd actually like healthcare that both provides healthcare and doesn't expose us to bankruptcy." But no worries...99% of those people will keep voting for the people delivering this smooth buttfucking, because they heard someone speaking spanish in the kitchen of a restaurant.
  19. Some stupidity leaps right up to the level of "laughable." Arab Americans voting for Trump is exactly that kind of stupidity. I am not kidding, I actually laughed when I read this. How fucking stupid can you be? Well, apparently....that fucking stupid.
  20. Even when he's right (and even then, it's only partially right), he's stupid. It's amazing.
  21. An ass-plosion of chemo, if you will.
  22. While I absolutely understand and often agree with calls to return to office for many employees (which puts me at odds with plenty of folks around here), I also see the utter dumbassery of entities that make it a completely arbitrary policy, and without any real thought as to cost-benefit analysis on a position and employee basis. I've found that counting on a well-reasoned approach from anyone these days is pissing in the wind. Every employee will bitch and moan and say that it's BETTER for them to work from home, and every policy calling for RTO will have so much stupidity embedded in it that any upside of a reasoned RTO approach will be wiped out by the stupidity of its execution. And the world keeps spinning, faster and faster, fueled by dumbassery.
  23. Go on.....
