  1. And the Canadian people need to understand that they are already at war with the US regime, and they need to be on a wartime footing. That is going to involve some real pain, hardship, and sacrifice in the short to medium term. But surrender/capitulation to a psychotic despot is not an option.
  2. God has utterly forsaken us for the past decade. This is His opportunity to come through for us.
  3. I mean, I said before that it has risen to the level of "material risk," but it's now approaching "certainty" level: the US and Canada are heading for a shooting war. Read that again, and stew on it: the US and Canada are heading for a shooting war. It will be an illegal war, launched without congressional authorization. And, it will expand, rapidly and disastrously. Canada is part of the commonwealth - the UK will have no choice but to get involved. There is one failsafe left: members of the US military remembering their duty, and refusing to follow illegal orders to attack Canada and kill Canadian troops and civilians. Which will lead to an irrevocable crisis here at home - a split like that between the military and the POTUS cannot be mended.
  4. The last remaining reasons to fly SWA are dropping like flies. It's pretty much gotten down to "choose SWA if the fare and schedule are better than the other options," which is pretty much the complete list of reasons you have to choose any other airline. I fly intra-Texas for work with some regularity. That put me in a "frequent SWA flyer" category. As 1) the ability to handle more things remotely (appear in court via Zoom) has increased, and 2) SWA's schedule and attractiveness has decreased, my loyalty to their system has gone off the cliff. I'll still book some flights on SWA (they have a decent schedule to and from El Paso, for example), but not like I used to. And the charging for bags thing pisses me off. We usually fly SWA each year to and from California for vacation. I check a big cooler bag full of frozen brisket, ribs, fajitas and such to serve to family over the week. I guess I'll still get that checked free because of my SW Visa (which I guess I'll keep), but sheesh.
  5. GO. IN. FOR. THE KILL. You don't attack TO your target....you attack all the way THROUGH your target. Then, you double back, and you attack the rubble. Elon Musk has declared war on the free world. That sort of shit has happened before. It should end the same way.
  6. Cleaning out stuff at my parents’ house. Found this pic of my mom toting a shotgun on a white wing hunt in the valley, probably late 1960s.
  7. And found some pics of my grandfather in his trapping days. He worked the mountains of Mexico in the 1920s.
  8. Cleaning out my parents’ house, going through old boxes and papers, found this gem: Woulda loved to have that Model 61.
  9. This. It’s long past time to stop tiptoeing around the fact that the death of each one of these evil fuckers makes the world a better place, and should be celebrated.
  10. Having "Wang Dang Sweet Poontang" on repeat on your playlist does not = "I like Ted Nugent's music."
  11. Electing Obama president broke us. The rise of social media broke us more. Russian disinformation having free reign through said social media and now actual news outlets broke us even more. COVID broke us even more. The result.....is that this is all that's left: We are hopelessly shattered. And all the kings horses and all the kings men will not be able to put us back together again.
  12. Whatever else becomes of this thread, that this was one of the early replies gives me a sliver of hope for humanity.
  13. Gotta read the fine print: * NONE OF THIS APPLIES TO YOU UNDER A LAWLESS, FASCIST REGIME.
  14. I am confident that Dr. Surly opined that heavy smoking, drinking lots of good bourbon, habitual masturbation, and yelling at your TV when Burt Auburn misses another goddamned FG are solid preventative measures against Covid. And who am I to argue with a doctor? I TRUST THE SCIENCE!
  15. He's not even good at math. Our budget is around $7 trillion. 10% would be $700 billion. And also, yeah....that's just fucking insane. With zero basis in reality. Elon Musk has already stolen over $4 trillion from the US taxpayers (I mean, since we can say anything we want without it needing to be remotely true, that's what I say. Let's make it go viral. Demand that the DOJ investigate Elon's theft of $4 trillion taxpayer dollars).
  16. I could buy a British pound for $1.22 the day before TFG was inaugurated. Today, it costs me $1.29 to buy that same GBP. A nice 6% hit to my personal wallet. Fucking awesome. There's literally nothing that Trumpists can't be wildly wrong about. They manage to be stupid fucks about fucking EVERY POSSIBLE SUBJECT.
  17. FIF more realistic benchmarks.
  18. The US is truly unifying the western world, and is unifying the positions of the people within those countries. Unfortunately, what is unifying them is their opposition to and hatred of the US. Nothing draws folks together like a common enemy. And that common enemy is....us. Jesus monkeyfuck, the fucking stupidity. That would be the balls thing to do....but he's also a leader who is going to do what it takes to pursue his country's interests, not take the impetuous and juvenile path. I know, that seems completely alien to those of us who live in Trumpistan, but there you are.
  19. Sounds like you and I need to go out and have a few beers.
  20. Did they cyberattack his botched penile implant too?
  21. Every single one of our allies would be insane NOT to pursue that course of action: complete and totally decoupling from the US defense industry. First, if the US (and by "the US," I mean our current mercurial, psychotic administration) at all disagrees with your use of a weapon/platform....the US will disable it. Second, there is no a non-zero chance, which is rising rapidly, that one or more of our former allies will end up in actual defensive combat operations against the US. It's a terrible idea to be in a situation where your enemy can turn off your defensive weapons as the battle begins. The only smart move for Europe is to decouple not 50%, not 90%, but 100% from US defense systems. F-35s are a stupid, stupid buy. Because yep, it doesn't matter how good it is if you can't even get it up in the air when you need it. Think the folks at Lockheed and Raytheon don't see this writing on the wall? Think there isn't massive pants-shitting happening in their business offices? And.....think they are viable if they have no buyers other than the US? We are on track to completely neuter our domestic defense industry. Fucking brilliant. France, Sweden, the UK, and Germany 'bout to make some MONEY. At our expense. "America First" my ass.
  22. My wife is pretty firm on "fuck doing our taxes on time this year." As we usually owe some, she says fuck sending this regime any money, ESPECIALLY when they simply may end up not bothering to collect it.
  23. Yeah, but the "Y" means "year" to date, so that's not so bad on.....oh....March 10th. Yeah, that's pretty impressive.
  24. We had a long lunch with some of my Mexican family this weekend (a branch that lives mostly in Guadalajara, and bitches about that city). My wife and I mentioned that I was looking into my options for Mexican residency/citizenship, as we were discussing our current US shitshow. At first, they were puzzled, but then....
