  1. That's not true. They care about shit that retrograde, caveman-thinking shitheels care about very much. Women should be subservient to men, in all respects. America should be a white man's paradise, and any minorities that are allowed to exist here do so solely at the pleasure and by permission of white men. Etc. etc. Just utterly backwards-ass bullshit but oh yes, a lot of people care about that very much.
  2. Yep. And it's the perfect example of the logical fallacy of "correlation = causation." Trans person commits a horrible act: it is 100% because of what they are. Trans people are evil abominations, this is proof! Angry white person commits act of extermination of minorities (El Paso, Tree of Life, Buffalo, Charlotte), both stating their intent to get rid of leeches/vermin, using the EXACT language of the nativist/"America First" movement that repeats those things in the anger-sphere: crickets. Hate rhetoric from the right is not an issue at all, why are you being all political? Allowing trans people to exist is evil. Fomenting race-based hatred and violence is free speech. Get it right, libtards!
  3. This is what the MAGA movement believes...and 53% of white women still voted for it. When we know that probably half of them will be ripshit pissed when the regime rolls back the rights they've grown up with. Pulp fiction I didn't vote for this yes you did meme for them, and they'll never get it. These people are gleefully chugging the poison that will kill them, and then don't understand when they get sick and die.
  4. Why do you hate American Exceptionalism? The bullet-riddled bodies are what tell you the America is working.
  5. Yet...I'd be willing to give it to him tomorrow, with the greatest fanfare the world has ever seen, in exchange for him immediately resigning from office and shutting his fucking mouth.
  6. I mean, Satan as what looks to be a bathroom attendant confuses me. I always kinda figured he'd be employed in consulting, or private equity.
  7. Oh, I have no illusions. We are in the era of "be as childish and selfish as humanly possible....and then find a way to be more childish and selfish than that." So, we're getting the product of our times. A society, culture, and system of governance in complete freefall will produce this sort of outcome. The fix isn't any one thing. The fix has to be foundational, and we have no interest in doing that.
  8. Of the many, many things that amaze me about this regime and its rise and functionality is the absolute total debasement that otherwise proud and accomplished people (maybe disagree with that, but a senator is a senator, man) are willing to undertake. And continue this series ad nauseum, ad infinitum. That so much of our "leadership" is actually soulless, gelatinous slugs with zero guiding principles other than "I want some power" still shocks naive Brisketexan. I mean, sure...I want some power. But it's ALWAYS been so I can use it to accomplish goals driven by my guiding principles and beliefs. If you told me "Brisket, you can be a senator, and get the cool greeting of 'senator Brisket, your table is ready' at the Old Ebbitt Grill, but you'll have to vote for things you loathe that will hurt a lot of people to get and hold your seat, and you won't be able to accomplish any of the things you actually believe in," I'd fucking decline the offer. And I LOVE the Old Ebbitt Grill, they have a great oyster selection. But if I can't use my position to actually help people and serve my values, what's the point? These spineless slugs? They'll compromise everything, and turn themselves into knob-gobbling simps, and for what? Seriously, for fucking what?
  9. In short, we the people are caught between two shitty forces in play: 1 - Garza is not a competent DA. I'm talking the day-to-day, nuts-and-bolts parts of being a DA. He's bad at them. 2 - APD is acting like most cops, in that they are ripshit pissed and being petulant juveniles at receiving the message of "hey, maybe don't fucking shoot and hurt civilians with wild abandon." Their response is full-on cop "fuck you, we get to do what we want how we want, and if you don't let us, then fuck you, we just won't do our jobs -- see how you like that!" 3 - and in between those is a move by Garza and the city to actually hold police accountable. It's a good, and very important goal. That is problematic because a) Garza's office isn't doing a particularly skillful job of implementing it (see point 1 above), but also b), it doesn't matter how well it's executed, because the attitude of policing is totally fucking broken (see point 2 above). As a result, we get shitty policing AND shitty prosecutorial performance. Everyone needs to fucking grow up, put on their big boy pants, take responsibility for what they need to do, and do their fucking jobs right.
  10. Leaving off "APD petulantly quiet-quitting their jobs because city leadership dared to tell them maybe they should be accountable for abusing citizens" as one of your factors is telling. I'm no Garza defender, I think (I actually KNOW, from friends inside the DA's office both past and present) he's a shittastic DA. But putting the white hat on APD here as goshdarnit, they just don't have the numbers and resources, they're really trying, is utter bullshit. APD is absolutely on a semi-strike to try to re-assert control and be able to do everything they way they want to, with no accountability.
  11. So....is the best play with someone like Modi (of whom I am no big fan) to be a bully and use blunt instruments? Or, are there other plays (flattery, giving him paths to an ego-boosting "win," etc.) that work better? Come on, man. Oh, and the take I shared is far from just something in the Economist - I just cited to it because I have a subscription there. You can find similar discussions on Bloomberg, the WSJ, etc. It's a pretty widely shared take right now.
  12. As I've gotten older, I've found myself a lot more tolerant of different approaches to burger condiments. I'm all about a classic American approach of mustard and a bit of mayo. I also like a smashburger with burger sauce. I also like a burger with bbq sauce, jalapenos, and cheddar. Mayo and green chiles. All kinds of things. Eat what you like. I think that as a society, we'd all get along better if we just let people be, and just eat the burgers they want.
  13. Who are you to question the miraculous and glorious ways of our Fundagelical Christian God? Maybe it's easier to get them through the pearly gates when they're in smaller pieces. Maybe it gives God more pieces to hug in his warm, fatherly embrace.
  14. All things that might have been true a few days ago. But when you are trying to strengthen your relationship with a large nation state, and then take a huge dump in their cheerios, that pathway can be dramatically altered. Don't listen to me, listen to experts all over the world: https://www.economist.com/asia/2025/08/28/a-defining-test-looms-for-india Using a singular blunt instrument (war -- either threats of kinetic war or blunt-instrument trade war) as your sole tool....well, it's sub-optimal. I'm not saying that our goal of getting India to further dis-entangle from Russia and reliance on Russian oil isn't a good one, shouldn't be pursued, etc. Just suggesting that perhaps the US response to everything of "TARIFF!" is not wise, and in many cases, counter-productive. It's as if our diplomatic manual was the equine medicine manual with just one treatment:
  15. You might not want to look at US fertilizer sources anytime soon, then. Also…is this “strategy” helping us persuade India or be our bitch, or could it perhaps be pushing India into a closer relationship with countries we ain’t so keen on, like China? Read up on it.
  16. Realistically, yes. A good number of the ingredients they use are imported from India. But, you know....we need to make domestic cardamom production great again, or some stupid shit.
  17. I mean....he pretty much has. We are in a trade war with literally every country on earth. All of them. Including the penguin island.
  18. For that evolution, these are great books:
  19. Your regime does so. Repeatedly, without pausing to take a breath. And you support them unfailingly. You vote for it, you empower it, you reward it. It is what you are. And the fact that you do so knowing that your kids are in the regime's crosshairs is even more psychotic. But, evil psychosis is the order of the day, so it checks out. You can't say "I'm not for X" while you offer uniform support for the regime that says "we're totally for X, and want it to happen."
  20. Why? I'm not the dude who enthusiastically supports a movement that wants to expel all 65 million hispanics from the US and calls us vermin and invaders, leading to our mass murder (as one does to "vermin" and "invaders"). You are.
  21. Wants it. Is just fine with it. Will go along with it because hey, finally those dirty mexicans are getting what's coming to them. It's a stewpot of motivations. But they're all shitty. Accept that the majority of Americans are pieces of shit. It's an unpleasant fact, but it's a fact nonetheless.
  22. Meanwhile, guys like Zeus are even MORE enthusiastic in their support of a regime that characterizes hispanics as vermin, encouraging our slaughter (successfully, by the way -- see El Paso). MAGAS are not concerned about mass murders. They LIKE THEM. They just get pissed when the target is not their preferred target. Oh, and how do we know they like it? They support the regime that has called for getting rid of all 65 million of us, that uses words like "vermin" and "invaders" over and over, which are the exact words adopted by people who gun us down. Zeus supports mass murder. He's just upset by this one. For reasons.
  23. Oh, no worries. They'll come through with the standard Christian absolution/washing-their-hands of any consequences: "God just decided he needed another angel up there with him." and/or "It was God's will."
