  1. You don't grasp how deeply broken a country we are. FFS, we elected a man who promised to end the Republic, and is doing just that. There's no coming back from this. We are who we are, and that is a shitty people who will never be ready to elect a woman, and never again be willing to elect a minority. It's done. The die is cast.
  2. Why are you being so rude to the future administrator of NASA?
  3. Obama destroyed this country. Seriously, he did. No, not anything he did. Rather, the act of electing him did. We elected a black man president, and it irreparably and totally broke the brain of a majority of this country. Once we elected Obama, it was all over. Regardless of what he did. He could have been the second coming of Lincoln and Jesus combined, and it wouldn't have mattered. This country will never elect anything but a white male again in my lifetime, and probably my kids' lifetimes. I mean, presuming we have actual elections going forward. Which we won't.
  4. Good post overall, but bolded for emphasis. Not a penny from me and my family for their milquetoast bullshit. I won't donate a penny for fucking mailers and spineless tut-tutting. I'll donate $1,000 tomorrow for metaphorical bullets and bombs. The day the Dems actually want my money to use to FIGHT for the Republic, they'll get some. Still waiting on that day, and suspecting I'll be able to keep my bank account completely intact for a long, long time.
  5. No it's not. It is: 1) the new normal 2) acceptable - even exciting - to the MAGAs (the crushing of all civil liberties tells you the Regime is truly making America Great Again) 3) acceptable - even exciting - for every single person who used to claim to be "libertarian" and was worried about an "overreaching federal government." This is exactly what we wanted, exactly what we voted for, and it's going exactly as promised. If you don't like it, you are an enemy of the Regime, and you best watch yourself. And don't even think of hiring an attorney....the Regime will go after him, too.
  6. Interestingly enough, he's pivoted from that. Ain't no "both sides" anymore. Like all other self-declared libertarians and even libertarian-adjacent folks, he has a really hard time finding much at all to criticize about the Trump Regime. A few things on the margin here and there, but sweeping immigration raids, disregard for basic constitutional principles, massive tariffs and trade wars....well, golly gee, those are just swell. You know, all the things that libertarian-types love nowadays.
  7. Blah blah blah -- SHUT UP, SUBJECT! YOUR INSOLENCE AGAINST THE REGIME WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. Hey white folks....when they dispense with things like "basic rights," "justice," and "common sense," the dumbest fucking thing that you could think is that they'll STOP at black and brown people, and not apply the new order to you as well. Ironclad rule here: while the Gestapo may START by coming for group X, or group Y....they ALWAYS end up coming for fucking EVERYONE.
  8. The evergreen GIF, applying to rich and poor, smart and dumb alike....really, to anyone and everyone who thinks they will ultimately come out better off for having entangled themselves with Trump:
  9. "pipe cleaning tool":
  10. They aren't "suggesting" it. They are out-and-out saying it, repeatedly: attorneys who represent ANYONE acting contrary to the interests of the Regime will and must suffer harsh retribution (see the Exec Orders against multiple firms). It's every fever dream the GQP IMAGINED about the Biden admin....turned into full reality.
  11. The admin also appeals to pointless bravado and chest-puffing....which has real cultural appeal. Even when it's utterly stupid and counterproductive. Maybe ESPECIALLY when it is. "Macho" is a thing, and it's rarely a smart thing.
  12. A beige truck? With those wheels? I mean, putting a bumper sticker on there that says "PLEASE DO NOT HAVE SEX WITH ME" seems redundant, but if you wanna be super-sure, go for it.
  13. It's Spain. They'll get to it . . . . mañana.
  14. Because there are only two political veins in this country: bullies, and cowards. The GQP has taken full ownership of the "bully" contingent. And not to be outdone, the Dems have gone all-in on "coward."
  15. The machinery of fascism always, and must, include corporatist allies. The Regime necessarily includes those elements. Remember all the "Free Speech ABSOLUTISTS!" we had around here pre-election? Notice how not a single one of them has any issue with the Regime taking dead aim and anyone and everyone who dares utter a peep contrary to the desires of the Regime? Huh. Guess their internet is broken or something.
  16. Word out there that ICE is actively nabbing people, including members of a construction crew stopped at a gas station, in the Rundberg and Braker area.
  17. Stay behind and be utterly fucked. As is always the case. If there's one constant you can count on in America, it's that black people will be shat upon by the dominant faction of society. That tradition is more American than baseball and apple pie.
  18. It's pure idiocy. DEI efforts with respect to anything related to hiring are literally - as in, by definition - nothing more than ensuring that candidates OF MERIT who might otherwise be missed because they aren't in the traditional connections pool get consideration/visibility. That is, instead of just considering candidates from your alma mater, or related to people at your country club, you also look at candidates from outside those circles (who, based on the circles of people traditionally calling the shots, will often be from minority communities). That's it. No obligation to hire a shitty candidate because of race. And it's been turned on its head. In Trumpland, the only way to truly avoid DEI is to NOT consider or hire anyone outside of your inner circle. Merit be damned.
  19. But remember....we got rid of DEI (which is a concept these morons don't grasp on even the most elementary level) for "MERIT-BASED HIRING ONLY!" It's just that "merit" means "loyal to the Regime." That's it. That's the sole criterion. You can be a badger-raping drooling idiot with an IQ of 50 and zero experience in the field, but so long as you'll suck orange dick and gargle the gravy, you're a "MERIT-BASED HIRE." Dumbest. Fucking. Timeline.
  20. Yeah....old Winston may have been too optimistic. It may need to be tweaked to "you can always count on Americans to do something shitty, because Americans are shitty."
  21. Fuck your castle. Fuck your citizenship. Fuck your rights. Fuck your freedom. Fuck you. Those are the core values of the Regime. You best not fucking forget it. The Gestapo is here, and there's no going back.
  22. We’re being governed by the people everyone fucking loathed - correctly - in high school. They’re fucking losers who have one thing: money. They have nothing else. They are truly bankrupt of every other quality or attribute a human could have.
  23. None of the “anti-authoritarian libertarian” types are actually against an authoritarian government. They only have a problem with a hypothetical authoritarian government that acts against “real Americans” (good conservative white folks). That government can crush as many minorities and liberals as it wants, and they won’t have a single problem with it. “I’m a libertarian” may be the biggest political lie of the last 50 years. I haven’t seen a one who has the slightest concern about a right wing authoritarian government.
