Jeffrey Epstein needs his own thread
You're wrong. In an instant, they'll rationalize how it's actually a GOOD thing. See my other posts on this point. It's a cult. He has been elevated to God. That's how it goes.

No. The GQP in total is ride-or-die with Trump and Trumpism. And that's actually the right move for them at this point -- they are so far committed to this thing, that they can't deviate even a millimeter from "Trump is an immortal God and we will do whatever he says for eternity." If he fucking dies behind closed doors, we won't even know about it for a year. They'll Weekend at Bernies and deepfake his ass for as long as they can. Trump is the GQP. The GQP is Trump. There is no Dana, only Zuul.

The answer to "what good thing can happen?" in this timeline is always "nothing." So...yeah. Nothing.

The lemur community is not amused by your shenanigans.- Fuck Bo French
Every post on the football board:- Fuck Bo French
So, what you're saying is that this thread title should be changed to "Fuck future POTUS, Bo French?"- Epstein and Maxwell
You are wrong. They like it. You know what's super-duper alpha? Imposing your will on others, and they can't do a fucking thing about it. This is the MAGA way. Displays of power, demonstrating that you are so powerful that you are above consequences, is an essential part of the brand. Raping minors and getting away with it is a MAGA triumph, not a MAGA flaw.- July 4th Hill Country Flooding Tragedy
Discussed this earlier with GOLL. On the defense side, I suspect a good bit of the work and strategy is going to be to try to protect the individual defendants and their assets. That is, a defense that focuses on the fact that the proper defendant is a corporation, and there's no good basis to "pierce the corporate veil." The corporate defendant is fucked. But the individual Eastlands and such may be protectable. We'll see.- Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
Haven't read enough King to have a truly encyclopedic take. I read The Body as a stand-alone, not as part of the Different Seasons collection. Read pretty much everything McMurtry wrote, though. And my mother was a trained dramatic actress (state champ, that sort of thing). I recall her reading Texasville aloud on a road trip one year; she did all the characters with different voices and inflections and whatnot (these were her people, after all). It was actually brilliant, and maybe my first "audiobook" experience after my childhood experiences of mom reading books to me as a toddler and such. On trips with my family to west Texas a few times, I read some Hank the Cowdog books aloud, same style (made sure to have a proper voice and approach for each character). We loved those experiences. But for the most part, the speed thing is what gets me. An audiobook that takes 8 hours to play out, I can usually read in 2-3 hours or less.- Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
The Shining movie IS better than the book. But the ONLY one? Stand By Me would like a word.- Jeffrey Epstein needs his own thread
Didn't want to have to give away your seat on the ledge.- Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
Dude, are you me? I'm a fast reader, and I can paint imagery and nuance in my head, as I read, better than most any audiobook I've ever listened to. When I read something that's just incredible prose, I may read it multiple times. Not because I don't understand it, but because I want to feel it wash over me in different ways.- July 4th Hill Country Flooding Tragedy
Except in just the past few years, we have examples of massive, deadly floods at "unprecedented" levels that happened in identical geography just a few miles away (talk to folks in Wimberly). Any reasonable person (esp. one living in/near the hill country) knows that "unprecedented" flooding doesn't mean "impossible" flooding -- it actually means "the kind of shit that is happening with increasing frequency." And "nobody could have known this would be this dangerous or could have done anything to protect against the outcome" isn't going to sell when upstream properties literally DID anticipate the risk, monitor the risk, and take real-time action to protect life and property. Not only could it be done, it WAS done. Just not by Mystic.- Jeffrey Epstein needs his own thread
Fuck that. It's like you haven't heard of this thing called "all the alcohol."- Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
FUCKING YES. I've given that rant on plays (esp. Shakespeare, who I love) since I was 14. We read Taming of the Shrew. It was fine. Then I saw a live performance, and I GOT IT. In fact, I LOVED IT (it remains my favorite SP comedy). Making people read something that is meant to be either watched or performed is stupid.- Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
I didn't take Classic Civ till fall of 90. The semester I started dating my now-wife, who was BIG into Classic Civ. I was, ummm, not a particularly focused student. Had a test coming up on the Iliad, which I 100% had not even cracked open. Thought I'd hit up this cute girl to give me the story. Dumbass I was. She decided she wanted me to learn. So, she starts with "okay....so you've read the Odyssey, right? And you know that's about the trip back from the Trojan war. The Iliad happens before the Odyssey, so....what do you think it's about?" Displaying my best Brian Reagan face... I answered "uhhh......Ilia?" 35 years later, she has NEVER let me forget that.- Jeffrey Epstein needs his own thread
You should be worried about both. America is a perfect toxic stew of stupid and evil right now, and it tastes like it.- Jeffrey Epstein needs his own thread
Shades of "Soviet solider at the Katyn Forest Massacre implored his colleagues to slow down on the killing, they're running low on ammo, so he's a hero." Fucking hell. "I was aware of massive child sexual abuse, but hey, I asked the abuser to stop" is pretty much the perfect "I'm the good guy" moral flex for this wretched era. It will work.- Trump’s America
I'm pretty sure there were 400 separate IP violations in that clip. Didn't license the song, didn't license the clip from car commercials, movie sequences, etc., to be used for political purposes....in violation of the Hatch Act. At this point, the administration's consistent, repeated, and flagrant disregard for intellectual property -- layered on using it for illegal purposes -- merits a blanket injunction against using ANY licensable material without prior consent. Seriously, there's a viable suit to be filed and pursued there.- McRib check in thread
Aunt Mavis knew what was UP.- Jeffrey Epstein needs his own thread
I mean....several of y'all above are spot-on. How this ends is "actually, child-rape is fine, especially when it's a powerful man and a tempting girl. Why, in real alpha societies in the past, the emperor always had underage concubines, to satisfy his powerful, manly urges. It just goes with the territory of having a REAL alpha male in the White House. Frankly, I wouldn't vote for a presidential candidate who WASN'T manly enough to fuck multiple teenage girls." They come around. They always do. It's a cult, and it's simp enablers who think that getting in line with the cult will open the pathway to power (and they are largely correct, as the only qualification for advancement in the regime is loyalty). It will happen. It will work. Rape of underage girls will be deemed a political positive before the 2026 elections happen.- The Trump Economy
Yeah, side note....I wonder if there's a vulture-type play to be made here. I know that several data centers are being built in connection with independent generation facilities/projects nearby, subject to Power Supply Agreements with the data center. So, it looks like this: Data Center Delta, LLC (an independent LLC, owned by a larger outfit, or even a partnership/consortium of outfits under outfits) contracts with Generator Company Beta, LLC (an independent LLC, owned by a larger outfit like AEP, or some similar arrangement). The contract calls for Generator Co to construct a 200 MW facility to supply power to Data Center. Now, here in Texas, that generation is also going to be hooked up to the grid, per ERCOT requirements. But its contractual purpose is to provide dedicated power to the data center. What happens when Data Center goes tits up? In bankruptcy, that PSA with Generator Co is repudiated, and Generator Co no longer has a steady source of revenue that makes the numbers on that facility (financed in part with debt) work. So, independent Generator Co files for bankruptcy as well. Will there be opportunities to sweep in and acquire these orphan (as in, they no longer have a PSA to support them) generation assets? Because, that asset -- if not overly encumbered by debt (now canceled via the bankruptcy) -- may be a revenue-positive asset as just another generation facility in whatever grid it may be found (ERCOT, MISO, SPP, etc.). Or, will that already be pre-packaged -- the parent co (like AEP) will acquire its own orphan in the bankruptcy process? - Jeffrey Epstein needs his own thread
