  1. Bingo. Dems need to run on rainbow and unicorn shit, and then when it doesn’t work/happen, blame Trump.

    Tacos

    It was pretty damned good.

    Tacos

    They’re all in their 50s+. But, there IS this one redhead…. Anyway, tonight, we hit Arturo’s at Lamar and Braker. Man, we might as well have been in CDMX. Al pastor from the trompo, plus a barbacoa and a lengua.
  4. "Come attend our university! It is now 'WHOOP!' certified!" Where do I sign up?
  5. Dude. You are the one who said this: You absolutely minimized and excused what the "U.S." has been saying here. This is not standard "boasting." This is not a discussion of a genuinely impressive strike, logistically and technically. GTFO with that bullshit. Nobody disagrees with THOSE kind of statements. "THE GREATEST MOST COMPLEX MILITARY OPERATION IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD! COMPLETELY OBLITERATED IRAN'S ENTIRE NUCLEAR PROGRAM!" Come the fuck on, man. That hyperbolic bullshit is the insane rantings of a madman and his sycophants. That is VERY DIFFERENT than how the United States has approached these things before because -- and follow me here, it's important -- we've never been governed by a literally insane pathologically lying narcissist, who has purged the entire executive branch of anyone who won't be yet another Salacious Crumb to his Jabba. I appreciate the military. I appreciate what it took to execute these strikes. I am ripshit pissed that an insane narcissist and his crew can't help but lie and spout bullshit to ultimately aggrandize the One True King, NOT the thousands (yes, thousands) of well-trained, disciplined, and honorable personnel who actually made it happen.
  6. FIF an uncomfortable parallel. Not saying that Casar is Trump. I am actually agreeing with you. We are in the era of one thing mattering, and one thing only: winning. No matter the policies, ideas, or costs. Winning is the only thing.
  7. How about you compare. Compare to any other military operation in any administration. Unless you're talking about a singular or final goal (like killing OBL, or obtaining the unconditional surrender of Japan), they don't use such insane hyperbole as this one (and even then, the statements are broader and not stated to be 100% self-aggrandizing. Obama didn't say "only I could have led our military to kill Bin Laden.") Nobody has a problem with an admin talking up a military operation. Sure, it's what they do. The issue here is that 1) nothing this admin is connected with is ever anything LESS than "the most amazing bestest ever, all of history is now eclipsed by what we just did," and 2) the results have to be "complete and total annihilation/obliteration," saying it's anything less is TREASON and DISLOYALTY TO OUR TROOPS. It was a good mission, well-planned and well-run. It likely had some real impact on Iran's nuclear program. They could say that, and it would be like every other admin in history. When you minimize and normalize the utterly insane and abnormal batshittery spouted by this clownshow, you only beclown yourself.
  8. Geert Wilders. Calling anyone else on earth a dickhead. This simulation is good for a chuckle now and then, at least.
  9. Oh. You think words have actual meaning. You sound like a woke DEI socialist communist anti-semite CRT uniparty deep state coastal elite.
  10. So.....an unbroken line of utter assholes. That's not fair of me. Your grandfather or dad might have been okay dudes.
  11. Pretty sure that's the summary of a damned good Rodney Crowell song. Shit, that's just a regular Thursday in most of SETX.
  12. Sigh. [Brisket, shamefully recollecting his teenage crush on a certain curvy brunette daughter of a family friend who lived in Moore]
  13. Weird way for you to tell us you're on team Solve the Zohran Situation.
  14. [Brisket, deleting his 5-page treatise on Tarawa]
  15. Satellite data is woke.
  16. Naah, he'll blame it on him "making a huge mistake in putting the cybertruck plant in Austin, which is all about woke ideology, and the woke mind virus ruined our production" or some utterly batshit insane shit like that. Which will make the stock price go up 10% immediately.
  17. You know, there actually is one thing I enjoy about this moment in our cultural timeline. That thing is how people absolutely, completely, and utterly debase themselves at the altar of a narcissist, thinking that in return, he will be loyal to them. And every time, once the narcissist decides that the debaser no longer serves his needs, or he needs a scapegoat, he shivs the debaser. So, now the debaser is utterly humiliated/emasculated AND stabbed dead. It's funny. Their stupidity and total surrender of all dignity for no good reason whatsoever amuses me.
  18. That's not a bad reason, and some countries are a bit different. Germany, for example, still has lots of places that want cash. But the real key is that if you have local currency, have some smaller denominations -- 1, 2, 5, 10. Those are good for tips, paying a bathroom or bathroom attendant, grabbing a coffee from a cart, etc. Which are likely 99% of the situations that actually need cash. We'll be doing a long weekend in London this August, and won't be bringing any cash. But, we'll be visiting our daughter, and she always carries a little bit of cash, so she'll cover any such needs.
  19. Wait.....suing him for an allegation made in a pleading filed in court? That's, umm, not a thing.
  20. Look, what's important is performative idiocy, who cares if kids die. In MAGA world, the dead non-Americans is what tells you the policies are working.
  21. But sometimes the cash machines have a daily limit of 400, and if your escort is going to cost more than that.....wait, I've said too much already.
  22. You think that 1) people will actually hold Trump to any policy standard, and 2) that he'll actually acknowledge such standards. I truly don't understand why everyone hasn't grasped the simple truth that there is nothing he could do to lose support. He could order US forces to machine-gun dead every person of hispanic descent in the US, and not lose a single vote (seriously, even the hispanic Trump supporters would keep voting for him right up till the bullets rip them apart). He could then reverse course, and open the borders completely to allow every south of the border brown person in, proclaiming it part of his "big, beautiful plan to make American great again," and not lose a single vote. He could do those two things on successive days, and not lose a vote.
  23. I need to put out a "carrying more cash than the $10,000 reporting limit? Deposit extra cash here, no need to report!" box at the airport.
