  1. Ummm....my red beans and rice-eating coonass half frowns on your shenanigans.
  2. It won't go STRAIGHT to Trump. It will pass through an entity/project or two. But yes, it WILL eventually end up in Trump's pockets.
  3. So, so, SO much this. And it sure as shit is complicated. As in, European migrants didn't exactly arrive on empty, unoccupied land. But arrive they did. And I think of the courage, the passion, all the things that were kicking around as they did so. I've linked to this song before, because it fucking WRECKS me: Leaving behind all you ever knew, all you ever were, crossing an ocean to make a new life and a better future. Knowing that you might never return to the land of your birth. Fucking hell. And yeah, that mobility has been a key to American success. African American migration from the south to the cities of the north. The Dust Bowl migrations. The people fleeing the rust belt as it collapsed in the 70s-80s (Houston was full of 'em). Our AMERICAN story is written by people who bravely moved forward, to new places, and made them their own. And in the process, enriching them. The trade that is human migration is ultimately a mutually beneficial one. And fucking this. Seriously. 20 years ago, the Economist was basic kitchen-table stuff for most Republican voters. They'd read positions in there like "tariffs are generally a shitty thing," and "racism and anti-semitism are poison," and genuinely nod along. Today? They LITERALLY call the Economist a "liberal rag," as it says.....exactly the same things it said 20 years ago. They are in the thrall of a cult, and I hate every last one of them.
  4. Meh. That’s normal, and a perfect example of the ethics of the AI industry as a whole. Get used to a LOT more of it. Money has value. Power and control have value. Humanity has no value. Shit, probably negative value. And we’re elevating that worldview more every day.
  5. I love the whole sandwich guy story. Just fantastic.
  6. My god….all the eggplants….
  7. I mean, we're so deeply in the "just comical fucking insane lies" stage of this presidency. A presidency that has almost 39 more months to go.
  8. Kind of shocked that perhaps the greatest medical mind in the modern era didn't stay and help. Maybe he ran off to fetch some whale juice and ivermectin.
  9. NowThis is a solid reply.
  10. Ahh yes. "Too Big to Fail II: Fucking the American People Up the Ass Again Boogaloo." Worked out brilliantly last time. Fortunately, this time around, we've got a government that has acted with fiscal restraint so there's some tools in the toolbox to address the coming collapse, and we have wise, steady hands at the wheel. What's that? We have literally none of that? We burned most of our tools with unnecessary and burdensome tax cuts, and the guys at the wheel are these guys? Well. That's sobering.
  11. I presume you braid it so it's easier to stick up your butt. Thus making it a logical companion piece to the other work I cited.
  12. I don't want it over. There's only two ways this should go: 1) It ends because the Guardians Of Pedophiles give in, and restore the ACA subsidy so working Americans can have health care, or 2) the Guardians of Pedophiles stand fast, say "fuck you" to working Americans, the shutdown continues, and the pain spreads and multiplies. Most of "we the people" learn only by experiencing personal pain. Well, school's in session.
  13. Do you know how I feel when I see these people suffering, and feeling pain at level 10? MOAR! Pain is the only way we learn. So let the education continue.
  14. But.....the officer could smell the onion....and the mustard.....
  15. Oh....we the taxpayers will face lots of repercussions. The section 1983 suits against these fuckers are approaching "it's a laydown" quality. Lots of judgments coming plaintiffs' way. Hard to argue the defense of qualified immunity (which has to be based on "there was no clearly established law prohibiting what I did") when.....there was an actual, specific injunction....against you....prohibiting you from doing what you did. Even the 5th Circuit would let that judgment stand.
  16. Diggler understands the timeline we are living in.
  17. From now on, nobody should type his name without stating it as "adjudicated liar Gregory Bovino." These fuckers just openly and shamelessly lie, because it's not just what they do, it's what they ARE.
  18. My favorite part of ALL of those conversations, especially if they are with adults who saw something on FB or AI spit out, like "the Mayans were also skilled in the field of space travel, and frequently visited their home world of Jupiter," their response to your point of "yeah....that's not true," is invariably "oh yeah? Well.....you don't have any proof that it's NOT true!" FFS, (1) that's not how the burden of proof works, and (2) demanding that someone prove a negative is asinine. "Idiocracy" is too kind a label for this country.
  19. Seriously....the math (135 billion divided by 342 million Americans) is just shy of 400 pounds.....per person. These fucking psychopaths tell the most insane fucking lies, and they just keep on trucking. How do MAGAs not fucking grasp this? When someone lies that shamelessly to your face, that means that person holds you in complete contempt. They fucking think you are lower than worm shit, and you deserve no respect or honesty. And you walk behind them, hoping to lap up some of the runny shit running down their legs. How fucking pathetic and debased are you?
  20. Remember this, women -- the Heritage Society absolutely wants this outcome. Next time you stop in the voting booth to vote Republican, make sure you stop off first and step into a dressing room to get fitted for your Handmaid's outfit. You are literally voting yourself into sub-citizen status.
  21. "SOMEONE GET SOME IVERMECTIN, STAT! IT CURES EVERYTHING!"
  22. Because....and this is a true fact now.....under this regime, "killing people for profit"* is not a crime. * So long as some of those profits are funneled to the regime/family members/cronies, of course. Gotta pay the vig to get the bennies.
