  1. Unless, of course, you beat up a cop in the name of Donald Trump, or defraud the fuck out of people and contribute a chunk of money to Trump, in which case you will be given a pardon and called a "patriot." No fucking Republican ever gets to use the phrase "law & order" ever fucking again. The only phrase they can legitimately use is "laws for thee, but not for me."
  2. I mean, at this point, the Dems need a tip-of-the-spear that says something as plainly as "I'm not a fucking pussy, and I'll fight that piece of shit to the fucking death." In pretty much those exact words.
  3. Also....and this is very, very, very, very, very important: become comfortable, and right quick, with LYING. Lie big, lie little, lie everywhere in between. Lies are rocket fuel for outrage and thus energy and engagement. "Donald Trump condemned puppies to die and laughed about it!" "Trump is ending your Social Security!" "Trump stole your retirement money and is building a secret island lair for pedophiles!" Whatever. Workshop 10,000 such lies, then go with the ones that raise the temperature the most. Fight fire with fire. The ecosystem and rules have been established. For the love of God, stop pretending that ANY of the old rules still apply. The reason that the Dems keep getting hoisted on the standards of the old rules is because the Dems are the only fucking idiots who keep insisting that the old rules still exist and apply. The Dems are old aristocrat-built armies in fancy uniforms with feathered helmets marching in a straight line into machine gun fire. Fucking stop. The old way is over. Rules and norms are over. All that matters is winning, because unless you do that, you can't save a single fucking thing that matters.
  4. I think the issue is battery life cycle. A NMC battery will putter out after significantly fewer charges than a LFP battery. It's a slightly higher performer, but will need to be replaced much sooner.
  5. I had lived in Austin all of two weeks when I encountered a similar crowd at a free Joe Walsh concert in Zilker. The sight of so many hairy female legs and the smell of so much weed and patchouli was a bit of a shock to my relatively sheltered Houstonian senses. I realized I definitely "ain't in Kansas anymore." Good to see that vibe still exists here, at least a little bit. It's not MY vibe, but I'm glad it's around.
  6. Yep. And all that the liberals have to do is paint Poilievre as a Canadian Trumpist (they say all the same shit)....which they did. Effortlessly, really. I am not a man given to ANY hope these days. But it is POSSIBLE that one silver lining of Trump functionally declaring war on the entire world (yes, MAGAs, that's what launching a trade war against literally every country (except Russia and such, of course), and characterizing those countries as our enemies (his actual word) does) is that in the rest of the world, Trump-style right-wing autocrat/fascist/racist candidates are much less attractive than they once were. The Economist did a whole piece on this. We'll see how it turns out, but if you are in a country that Trump has recently shit on and threatened your trade and/or sovereignty (so....every country), Trump is becoming a toxic brand.
  7. "Vote for the guy who I say will surrender your sovereignty." That's a strong, strong pitch there, Donnie.
  8. Dude....the everyday people are EXACTLY the people who don't fucking matter, and will get it right in the ass, as intended. Eliminate all small and local businesses. Force consolidation of all enterprises under a handful of multi-billion dollar enterprises. Local florists? Local restaurants? Local anythings? GTFO. You'll be eating at TeslaCafes and acquiring all goods from Amazon soon, and you'll take it like a bitch. Because remember, turning us into EXACTLY a Russian oligarchy is how you "Make America Great Again." They have told us and shown us exactly what they are doing, and exactly what they intend to accomplish. We should believe them.
  9. Their grid operator, EL ERCOTO, was not available for comment.
  10. To be fair, most LSU fans are nodding along with those replies. “First, you make a roux….”
  11. It’s not just the beating them. It’s not just the sweeping them. It’s giving them a bit of hope…and THEN doing those things. Rips the heart right outta their chest. It warms my dark, black heart.
  12. Uhhhh….zucchini?
  13. I’m listening….
  14. So wait…which is it…are we going make great, beautiful deals with 200 countries, so these tariffs that we are using for leverage will go down (and thus not yield much revenue), or are big, beautiful tariffs going to stay so high that they raise so much revenue (from US consumers, by the way) that they replace the income tax? Dumbest. Fucking. Timeline.
  15. “He’s just like us!” Jesus. The fucking proletariat cheering on the billionaires as they are raped by them. This fucking timeline.
  16. Ghost is right. When you take an American citizen into custody and send them to any foreign country, that is NOT deportation. It is much more akin to kidnapping.
  17. Hellifiknow, but it did. Of course, I didn’t register it at all from 2013-2024. It’s only been re-registered for a bit over a year.
  18. On a parallel note, I’m going to be sending both a contribution to Harvard’s endowment and a personal note to the Board of Regents. I’d suggest that this moment in history may be WHY Harvard was/should have been created in the first place. It predates the Republic. It helped form it. Now, it has to stand and fight for it. If they HADN’T stepped up for this fight, then they would have surrendered whatever institutional credibility they had.
  19. Every. Fucking. One of them. It was never about actual Constitutional rights and the protection of liberty AT ALL. It was never anything more than toddler-level oppositional defiance disorder, usually layered with baked-in white supremacy. “Conservatives” have NO credibility on matters of Constitutional rights and protections. None. Zero.
  20. I’m willing. She’s up for the drive these days. Gotta put a quart of oil in every 1,000 miles or so because the main gasket is shot, but a few quarts of oil a year is a lot cheaper than a full gasket replacement. She’s got 150k miles on her. I put another 3k a year on her in recent years. She may outlive me.
  21. Yeah…that’s just inspirational.
