Charlie Kirk assassinated at an event in Utah (by a 22 YO groyper)

Are you saying they're gonna have to amend this list? https://www.riverfronttimes.com/the-10-worst-cardinals-of-all-time/ -
The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread

If that's what it'll take, you oughta be feeling more helpful by the second, because we're accelerating towards that outcome at breakneck speed. Maybe they were one of those people who were gonna work in one of those Hyundai plants that won't be built now. -

I mean, if any of those games involved getting points for grabbing women by the pussy or shitting your pants, that was a good handle to pick. -
Yeah.....looking back on my own stack of shitty decisions (that stack remains a work-in-progress, by the way) has given me some measure of comfort in watching my kids. Maybe they'll have a one-step-forward, two-steps-back period in their life. Maybe they'll make a sub-optimal relationship choice. It happens.

Goddammit. I did the same thing. Except it was with gals with great boobs. Just went straight to one of those. Dammit. I'm racist against women with no curves. Mea culpa. -

Kiddos in transition for us. The past year, the boy lived in Mainz for his study abroad, the girl lived and worked in London. Then, within the past two weeks, the boy moved back to Glasgow to his flat to finish university, and the girl left her life in London behind to move to Bonn, Germany, where she will spend at least the next two years getting her masters (so, had one in UK and one in Germany, and they just flipped positions). The boy's year in Mainz had some challenges, and it wore him down. His health also took a punch. He spent 6 weeks back here, and it was really good for him. Rejuvenated him, was able to get some real time with some doctors, and then was able to head back to university. London was bittersweet for the girl. She loved it and hated it. She grew up a lot there, and the experience helped her transition from a really lost and challenging part of her life. She had great experiences, made good friends, and learned a lot, including about herself. Now, she's going to try to equip herself for the next professional step. Not entirely on board with everything they've done or are doing....but I guess that's part of the deal, right? They make their own way. They do well at some things, and make some mistakes. Or, maybe I think they're mistakes, but they turn out to be right for them.

Yeah....I'm gonna go with "things a MAGA said that are just plain false" for $1000, Alex. Enchubben is full of shit. The system he is describing would have been illegal long before Trump took office. -

Pretty sure his history of sucking aggy football dicks disqualifies him from an office at Homophobic U.

Counterpoint: fuck that fucking fuck, he built this beast to do exactly what he's doing. He supports this shit. He does. Don't believe what he said above, because he's Ted Cruz, and if he's talking, he's lying and doing so in complete contempt of every other human being on earth.

Just had a sack of 100 Pemaquid's from Fulton seafood co dropped off on my front porch. Neighbor brought them inside to keep them cool. They'll go into the fridge, then will eat them with friends pre-game before the Austin FC match on Sunday.

Jesus, dude (Brisket says unironically). Again, right now, I can pop onto my social media and find 100X more "Christians" who literally want me killed, silenced, or expelled from the country, because I don't share their beliefs. I know plenty of muslims. Not one of them has ever voiced such a sentiment to or about me. Logs, specks, all that stuff. Look into it. Your blanket statements about muslims are fucking horrible, and you should really think about what the fuck you are saying and promoting. It's fucking twisted.

Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
Brisketexan replied to MaybeACoordinator's topic in Daily Texan
So, this is where that "man who sells doo-doo says in 10 years, the world will run on doo-doo" tweet goes? -
Man, you are buying into the "every one of them is a deranged cultist" sort of shit. Don't. Yes, there are plenty like that. And yes, it's a problem. But stop. FFS, I know a metric shitton of muslims, none of them think I should die. Goddammit, reading my social media these days, there are a SHITTON more "Christians" who right now think that I should die because of my beliefs.

Y'all ain't wrong. Those are the two options: (1) broad-spectrum political violence causes those who once liked it to lose their taste for it, or (2) it galvanizes them in amping up the violence and seeking the extermination of their enemies. That's the question raised by the Republican quoted at the end of that article. Some of them get it. The regime has unquestionably opted for option 2. I acknowledge that, no argument, I always thought they would. The question is whether their supporters (or a chunk of them) instead choose option 1. That remains to be seen. If all they asked in their heads was "if we're shooting them, is that a problem?", methinks their answer was often "nope, no problem." But now, maybe they're asking the question "if we're shooting each other, is that a problem?" then maybe some of them are pausing to consider. "Extermination of your enemies" sounds fun, because you get to do the exterminating, and your enemies get to do the dying. I mean, it at least sounds fun to simple people, driven by their rage/anger etc. "Civil war" ultimately sounds less fun, especially when you get the slightest taste of it, because you realize in that game, EVERYONE joins in on the dying.

She's not wrong until she is, in her final conclusion. Yep, the arab states have used Palestinians as pawns for decades. And yes, using violence provoked against them as a PR tool is indeed part of their plan. If you're looking for someone around here to put a white hat on the arab states and palestinian leadership, keep looking. But that doesn't change the fact that Israel has done more than taken the bait: they've indulged in an orgy of murder and ethnic cleansing (in their own words, that's what they want and what they are doing). You may have pissed me off and done horrible things to me. And I have every right to defend myself against that. But if I murder your children, drive you from your home, and salt the earth....yeah, now I'm just being fucking evil. Violent response can be just. It can also cross the line and become evil. Just because something started off as just doesn't mean that it didn't later become evil.

So, an interesting new trend: https://www.kvue.com/article/news/nation-world/new-poll-republicans-sour-on-path-for-us/507-8b3ce73e-357a-4ae5-9854-9147855b20d9?tbref=hp I'll highlight the point that I find a bit interesting. I find the shift really interesting, and the potential reason for it REALLY interesting. We have a thread on here referring to the GOP as a "Trumpist death cult." And there's something to that. There is a strong thread of nihilism running through the movement; it's a "blow it all up," "inflict maximum pain on the other" kind of movement. They're posing for smiling pictures at the "Alligator Alcatraz" sign, we all know that "the cruelty is the point," that sort of thing. And, it's easy to fall into that worldview when you see yourself as The Main Character. These are things you/your side DOES, they are NOT things that are done to you. But the problem with "blowing it all up" (economy, education, all institutions, etc.), is that you live in the thing that you are blowing up. So when that bomb of chaos that you've been cheering on blows up, you end up looking like this: And a parallel problem is with the cruelty, and the casually inflammatory attacks on "the other" (invaders, vermin, democrats are terrorists who must be eliminated), etc. is that it lights a fuse of violence. Those of us NOT in MAGA land have seen it and sounded the alarm about it for years, particularly after signature events done in furtherance of the cause: El Paso, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Colorado Springs, the Hortmans, and on and on. But not only does MAGA not care, they actually liked it. Because functionally, all of the political violence was taking out "the other" or their enemies. Why should they mind, the people they hate are getting what they deserve! But again....the "political violence" bomb is NOT a carefully controlled explosion. It is grenades repeatedly tossed into society as a whole. And, eventually, the shrapnel from those grenades blows back on the people cheering them on. Create an atmosphere that incites increasing political violence? Well, they're fine with it.....so long as only "the other/the enemy" is the victim. But....when the storm of violence comes to them, and one of their own....well, that changes things. I am not taking the position that Charlie Kirk's murder was a good thing. Not at all. I have never, ever wanted our country to descend into political violence -- FFS, I've spent a decade being a cassandra about "fucking stop it, people, because this is the INEVITABLE outcome of where we're headed!" I didn't want El Paso to happen, I didn't want Charlie Kirk's murder to happen. None of it. Instead, what I'm observing is that my observation and warning that "this ends in bloodshed" includes a footnote of "and you can't perfectly control where and how it goes, and it WILL get messy." And perhaps what the polling above is showing that once the fantasy world that some MAGAs have constructed -- where they can spew rage, hate, and anger, inciting and inflicting pain and violence willy-nilly -- turns into reality, which is messy, ugly, and involves bloodshed and death....some of them may lose their stomach for it. It's all fun and games when we get to hate brown people and laugh about them being shackled, and not care (or only care in the most cursory of fashions) when they get slaughtered in a Wal-Mart because hey, they're invaders. It's quite different when you realize that the beast of "stochastic terrorist violence" ultimately turns on you and yours, and can't be controlled, and that beast causes some awful, messy shit, in a society that you really, really want to be clean and pretty and well-functioning. The ultimate lesson being that if you think society is too messy and chaotic, the solution isn't to inject hyper-chaos into the system; it's to do the long, slow, and hard work of cleaning up the mess and chaos. MAYBE some of these people are seeing that, across the board, "make everything more chaotic" is both counterproductive as a whole, and causes harm and pain to the very people who have cheered it on. I dunno. Hoping that a group of people realize that "cause pain and blow everything up" is a terrible idea because we all live here together is an act of pure hopefulness, which y'all know ain't my bag. But, I'm observing that COULD be part of what's reflected in this polling. Or fuck, I dunno, the guy at the end asks the right question: Is Kirk the straw that breaks the camel's back or sets off a powder keg? Thus far, the evidence we're seeing is that it set off a powder keg (one that MAGA has long-had primed, and they were eagerly waiting for the opportunity to light its fuse). But that's the near-term, and certainly the action that the admin is taking. But long-term....what are we going to see? Which direction are the American people - or at least this important subset of them - going to go? Stay tuned to find out. But not to ABC or a Tegna station.

Does make you wonder how many of the brave MAGA second amendment warriors against govt overreach will come to her defense when the regime comes for her. What’s that? Not a single fucking one will? Yeah…that’s what we all knew.- 6536 replies
