  1. Americans are going to have to suffer if we’re going to have any chance of surviving as a Republic. That’s a cold hard truth. You need to absorb it. I never, ever, ever wanted it to be that way. I’ve rung every alarm bell I could imagine to warn against us reaching this juncture, I’ve actively worked against it in my personal and professional life…but here we are. Tell me that something other than massive pain and suffering will get us to alter our plunge into fascist authoritarianism - but you have to have a credible take when you do so. And…you know you can’t muster one up. It fucking sucks.
  2. How so? Seriously…you are one of our former allies. Why would you continue to expose yourself to risk by sharing intel with your stated enemy? It’s just fucking common sense. Any gesture of help to the US is seen as vulnerability and weakness, and a point of attack by the American regime. Why would you expose yourself like that?
  3. Watching one’s country irrevocably descend into authoritarianism will do that to any and every sane person paying attention. You should get with the fucking program, instead of being a collaborator. Oh, and don’t forget…you don’t have any problems with terrorism, so long as it’s under this flag [emoji635] in Ukraine. Spare us your fake concern.
  4. Germany came down with a similar cancer in 1933. How’d that work out for them? All was fine at first. Anyone who said otherwise was surely called “looney tunes.” That you can’t see history rhyming here still blows me away.
  5. Well, I’m 100% confident that the answer to “what would Jesus do” is “starve out people to complete ethnic cleansing.” It’s right there in the Gospel of Trump, which is the only book of the Bible they believe in.
  6. Do you think the American people learn the necessary lessons any way OTHER than experiencing immense pain? Of course not. We have cancer. It’s terminal if untreated. And the only effective treatment is chemo that makes you wish you were dead. Personally, I wish we’d never contracted the terminal cancer. But, here we are. So, yeah, you’re goddamned right I’m hoping for chemo. Oh, and Ana pearl-clutching about this is fucking RICH. Shutting down USAID projects abruptly, with no backstop, unquestionably has ALREADY resulted in deaths, and will cause many more (as just one example of the real-world human suffering this admin brings and you celebrate with glee). Spare me the handwringing bullshit. You don’t give a fuck about those deaths - you fucking cheer it on. You’re fine with Russia controlling all of Ukraine, with nothing impeding their use of rape as a weapon. Again, spare me your fake handwringing. You’re utterly FINE with terrorist murders, so long as they are under a Russian flag.
  7. This. Also, when the boy was 13, we were in Paris…and he ate THREE of those fuckers in one day (we’d literally walk by a McDonald’s - of which there are many, all over town - and he’d run in and buy one to eat while we walked around). When we gave him a hard time for eating shitty fast food in Paris, he asked “did I miss any of our great French meals? Nope. So lay off.” Fair.
  8. Give me one good reason for any of our former allies to share intel with us. Shit, their unwise adoption of US weaponry has made them unacceptably vulnerable. We are a hostile enemy state now. It’s not exactly a subtle mystery - we’ve said it. When you openly masturbate about the idea of conquering your closest ally and neighbor…you are an enemy state. We have no allies anymore, save one. It just happens to be the one you like.
  9. Dems need to fight. I mean, literally fight. Shout him down as a fascist. When security comes to take you out…fight them. Make them hit you, and make you bleed. Be dragged out with blood on your face. Make them get violent in full view of the world. Attack them. Physically. Show up at their offices. Assault them verbally, not pausing for breath. Terrorize them wherever they go. We have a soft peacetime opposition party. We need a wartime party. We need Churchill, and some pipe-hittin’ motherfuckers.
  10. At this point, I am about to the point of hoping that 1) there is intel out there about a terror attack or somesuch against the US/Americans, 2) one of our FORMER allies has that intel, and 3) that FORMER ally does not share the intel with us because....why would you share intel with an entity that has openly stated that you are the enemy now? And when it results in dead Americans, that is 100% on Trump. Alienate all of your friends, expect no favors or help from them. That's how it works in the purely transactional paradise he wants to create. It leads to dead Americans.
  11. Yeah, have known enough folks with VWs over the years that they fall in the "absolutely no fucking way" bucket for us. Doesn't matter how pretty or fancy it looks brand new. "Pretty and in the fucking shop" doesn't do us any damned good.
  12. Bold words from a dude who is now gonna have to pay $7.70 instead of $7.00 for his bedazzled buttplug from Temu.
  13. Don't you mean "it has its first case of freedom freckles?" The symptoms are how you can tell the freedom is working.
  14. We are currently governed by people who read/see Heart of Darkness/Apocalypse Now.....and it makes them smile as a happy story. We are SO....SO.....SO fucked. Evil and cruelty are VIRTUES. Empathy and humanity are VICES. That's how you end up with....well, the EXACT fucking horrors we saw last century. But sure, let's give it another whirl, this time, it will be GOOD!
  15. You couldn't show the stark divide any better than that. Empathy and humanity aren't just "not for them" -- they are an active ENEMY they have to attack and destroy. Research and history tell us that empathy and humanity are a huge part of what has helped us ADVANCE as a species. Think of the old apocryphal Margaret Mead story - the first sign of civilization was a healed femur, showing that humans cared for each other even when injured. These are the dramatically opposed values of this era: empathy and basic humanity on one side, vs. pure individualism and zero-sum actions on the other. We know how this goes. We've seen it a million times before. But it seems we're going to have to keep touching the stove and find out.
  16. I may start up the "FUCK I WANNA EAT GODDAMMIT" party. Our platform is....wait for it....."FUCK I WANNA EAT GODDAMMIT."
  17. Nowadays, we keep all of our rats in the Capitol and the Governor's mansion.
  18. You know why America is going to shit? It's that fucking pussy roll of sausage. Son of a bitch, somebody needs their ass kicked. Some little consumer geekaroid fucked this shit up.
  19. FREE SPEECH! RELIGIOUS FREEDOM! Ain't that what all the rightwingers scream about, getting their dander up if any site so much as fact checks their "Jewish space lasers" posts? Huh. Interesting. I'm sure they will find it interesting that Meta just fucking shut down noted extremist organization....the Presbyterian Outlook: All of the things that the modern nazis complained about (major social media outlets working with the US government) have now come true, in the extreme. The oligarchs who control them are 100% entangled with and now inseparable from the US government. And they can, have, and will ban any and all speech that even makes the regime slightly uncomfortable. And every single "free speech absolutist" around here will be dead fucking silent about this ban of actual faith-based content. Fucking telling indeed.
  20. No longer a member of NATO? Dude, Europe needs to be preparing for MUCH more than that. Europe needs to begin treating the US as a hostile enemy. That includes ALL the things: they should amp up their spying on us, stop using our weapons systems (develop and manufacture the FUCK out of their own), and start reverse engineering our systems to work out how to counter them (yes, Europe needs to learn how to shoot down F-35s, and right soon). The percentage chances of a shooting war between the US and Europe are over 10% at this point, and when you reach that point, you damned well better start planning for war.
  21. That's way too low. They need to get with the program. That number should be closer to 100%. Also, Canadian defense forces should be gearing up to take out every international bridge between our countries, and preparing to mine all of their waterways and sea access points. They should also be sneaking in a shitload of sabotage teams into the US. Be ready to start blowing bridges all over, in rapid sequence. The chances of hostile military action by the US regime are way too high to not prepare for that eventuality.
  22. How could it be hyperbole when the affiliates of the regime have said...."that is exactly our plan" (privatizing all federal land)? It is all right there out in the open. No guessing or pondering is required.
  23. I must confess....my background on LNG plant operations in Mozambique is....limited. Had you said "Guyana," I'd be your man.
  24. Being that "performative aspects" is the full measure of American "Christianity" -- there is no actual gospel-based theology to be found -- now you can understand where we are. "Christianity" is just a self-given label that is entirely performative while also providing a shield against any and all consequences of being an absolute dick. You're mad because I just walked up to you and kicked you in the nuts? Too bad, I had to do it, it's my deeply and sincerely held religious belief. You're mad because I embezzled millions from our business? To bad, embezzlement is a deeply and sincerely held religious belief. "SINCERELY HELD RELIGIOUS BELIEF!"
  25. Mexican nationals? They'll be shot on sight as soon as they try to cross the border to help.
