  1. Boy. Way to take a potshot at Surlyhorns and @immamac. Bold move.
  2. Again, entirely false. A metric shitton of German and Japanese combat veterans survived the war and simply rejoined civil society after the war. That's a key difference between fighting an organized nation state vs. a terrorist movement. German soldiers received orders, from their superiors, to lay down their arms. They pretty much all did so. Even the same for the Japanese, in spite of the stories of Japanese holdouts (which did exist). So, NO, we did not defeat the Nazis or Imperial Japanese by "killing anyone who thought fighting was a good idea." We did....the exact opposite -- we achieved a solution that put an end to the killing (surrender). Bibi is trying to keep forever war, because then he stay in forever office, stay out of forever prison, and eventually achieve his lifelong goal, forever extermination of the Palestinian people. There's not a single way in which Bibi is not a shitty human being, and he's fast-tracking his induction into the "shittiest murderiest world leaders" hall of fame. The irony of Israel becoming the monster it claims to stand as a bulwark against is not lost on anyone who is actually paying attention.
  3. It will. It doesn't even require complex thinking. Just ask yourself "if I was a Palestinian resident of Gaza, after the events of the past months, what would I want to do regarding Israel?" If your answer isn't "lash out to cause as much pain as possible wherever possible against anyone remotely associated with or supporting Israel," you are lying. Bibi's plan might as well be titled "How to Create Generations of Terrorists to replace the few Terrorists that You Just Killed, and Then Some."
  4. Because they are nation states that could and did execute an instrument of unconditional surrender.....followed by a relatively benevolent occupation....including an unprecedented rebuilding plan funded and directed by their former foe. So....the parallels to Israel v the Palestinian people (because that's clearly what Bibi is fighting) are.....pretty limited. Bibi's approach is guaranteed to do one thing, long-term: create at least one, probably two, generations of Palestinians who hate Israel with the white hot intensity of a thousand suns. His real goal is extermination of the Palestinians, but as Hitler showed us, full-on extermination is actually tough to accomplish. It requires a full machinery of extermination. Military force alone won't get you there. So, Bibi is pursuing genocide, but not even effectively. He'll get all of the negatives of trying to genocide your opponent without the only "benefit" (your opponent no longer exists). It's not just evil, it's dumb and self-destructive. But, that's what bad actors do. Like Hamas. Great move, guys. You set in motion something that got tens of thousands of your people killed, and countless other lives destroyed/ruined. Well-done. So, fellas, how's this "campaign of genocide against our enemy" thing going for you? Seems...not so great.
  5. Huh. I dunno. Man, I miss Shady Grove’s tortilla crusted queso catfish. That was glorious.
  6. Well Tuck....see.....it's easy to avoid such unsightly things as, say, "protests" when you fucking ship off to the gulag anyone who dares express any displeasure with the government. See, the answer to the question you're asking Tuck is "brutal authoritarianism." That's how you get this "utopia" that you are admiring. Which shocks nobody here, because you have also made your admiration of authoritarian states, and your hope that we become one, plain as day. Tucker Carlson is right behind Trump on the list of "people who, on the day they die, will most improve the world."
  7. The only proper response would have been to send two brief letters, a couple of days apart. "Fuck." ....... "Off."
  8. Bingo. His fucking insanely evil shit has utterly desensitized most to how shitty it is, and the media are key architects of that phenomenon. They fucking normalize him saying that he gleefully would tell Russia to skullfuck our NATO allies. That is 100%, no-questions, no-doubt, a completely disqualifying statement if you are running for POTUS. And it just passes, like any other number of evil shit he says.
  9. Spoiler: it will not make any difference. None at all. Donald Trump could stand in front of the White House, decapitate a puppy and fuck its bloody throat while yelling "I wish this was my daughter, and also hail Satan!," all on live TV broadcast on every network and every social media site, and he would lose not a single supporter. In fact, their support for them would only become stronger, because the criticism he would get is proof that the libs really ARE out to get him. You all know that's true. The criming only makes them love him more.
  10. Yeah....nothing THERE says "youth minister who has had allegations of sexual abuse against him covered up for years." Why are these people all fucking creepy losers?
  11. Is he exactly who you would expect? Yes. He is. Seems like a pretty solid rule: anyone who wants to lecture people on "biblical marriage" and "God's plan for your sexuality" and somesuch....is a perv/someone wrestling with demons that his public position forces him to try (but inevitably fail) to hide in a closet. My wife and I have actually talked about speaking/writing on the subject because it is literally her career (we haven't, because it just doesn't seem right), but in those conversations, we've uniformly agreed that the caveat to open any discussion would be "we don't have all the answers, we'll just share things we've observed and what works for us....with the biggest thing we've observed being the fact that every marriage is different." Sure as shit not a bunch of puritanical "God's plan for you, trad wife" bullshit. The fucking incredible hangup about sexuality that the evangelical crowd has seems to go hand-in-hand with people living painfully closeted lives until they act out in incredibly harmful ways. I mean, let's cut to the chase: if this dude hadn't been conditioned to think that his urges towards men were evil and Satan's work, and to shove them deep down inside and hide them....then he wouldn't have lived a lie, deceived his wife, and ultimately acted out in a harmful way. He just could have lived a life where he was into dudes, out in the open. No need for secret conversations to vent his urges -- just go out and get some dick already. No victims, just honesty and a life lived freely and happily. But I guess his family would have disowned him and hated him. So, there you are.
  12. I like sausage bits in my cream gravy for biscuits. I've even had it with chorizo, which is damned fine. For my CFS, I just want cream gravy with plenty of pepper and a dash of salt as needed. And don't skimp on the gravy, you sonofabitch. If you want to mix stuff into your cream gravy, like ketchup, or hot sauce, you do you, that sort of freedom is what we fought both the American and Texas Revolutions for. But as for those folks who put brown gravy on their CFS....some people just want to watch the world burn.
  13. 30KM? There hasn't been a train that long run in that neck of the woods since South Austin's mom's study-abroad year in Belogrod.
  14. I suspect that they did. And to be objective, if it was an active shooter trying to harm other people, you have a split-second call to make. I can't fault that call in hindsight. You do all you can to avoid hitting the hostage, but you also have to end the threat, because other lives are at stake in the immediate sense. I can't fault the attempt, even if it did result in the hostage being hit. And as for the attempted allegation that "the MSM is covering up that the shooter was a MTF trans and had gaza shit on the gun"....I mean, I learned both facts from....MSM news stories.
  15. Yeah....I may get a sack and do a small boil late season, but it sure sounds like this season is pretty much a lost cause.
  16. So....it will resonate loudly with the American people. That's just good campaign work right there. The last decade or so has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, you gotta speak fluent stupid if you want to have any chance of winning.
  17. Far, far, far away from Scotland. We have to ship our own over there (although the boy has found a mexican import grocery that lets him get a few essentials). Of course, he's been bitten by the phenomenon of seeing a breakfast plate on a menu, including beans, and thinking "cool, I love beans with breakfast." Then the plate shows up, and it's those damned canned sweet beans instead of some good refrieds.
  18. This. A lot of this. Blind "patriotism" is folly....as is blind devotion to "if the US does it, it's bad."
  19. "You'd like to cancel your account? Hold please, while I transfer you to our customer retention specialist." ....on hold for 3.8 hours....... .....call drops..... ....call back....yell "REPRESENTATIVE!" as loudly as possible, 27 times.... "We are experiencing a higher than normal call volume, please stay on the line, your call is important to us." ....on hold for 2.9 hours...... .....call drops...... Yeah, that ain't gonna happen. You can't cancel an account. You can never, ever, ever cancel an account. That is the foundational rule of the Era of Enshittification, of which Elon is the highest of high priests.
  20. Well, yeah....because AJ Brown is black. And the MAGAs would be out in force demanding that that mouthy, uppity player who didn't show the proper respect to his superior be used as an example/warning to other fellas who might not have the proper respect for their place in the order of things.
  21. That link will get you posrep from me 100% of the time.
  22. Here's what I don't get: our generation was taught -- fucking CORRECTLY -- that Russia was a bad actor. Not just because of communism, but because of totalitarian authoritarian bullshit. My generation grew up thinking that any country where you'd hear the term "papers, please" was a shithole, and not a freedom loving democracy shining city on a hill like the US is. Now? We fucking LOVE Russia and its dictatorial leader. We fucking LOVE authoritarianism. We fucking LONG for more "papers please" laws and encounters right here in the US. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?
