  1. Well, if he didn’t do that, he probably did something else.
  2. Let me guess, this will happen in two weeks…
  3. So …. China and Putin have it. Great.
  4. No matter how many drones were sent at the refineries, it remains true that demand for Russian gasoline domestically goes up this time of year due to vacations. and more importantly, the harvest season and the high demand for agricultural fuel. Clearly, that demand will not be met, even if some small percentage of refinery damage is fixed ASAP. I am not an oil refinery guy, but I can’t imagine that those multiple balls of fire which were refineries can be fixed in a month or two given the lack of foreign expertise and equipment. I also assume they will not hit them again until they’re almost restored. If a drone can wreck shop, I imagine ukraine’snew missiles will do a much better job..
  5. Well, the Senate would not have allowed him (or anyone ) to testify anyway, so that really isn’t nothing 🍔 But Kamala? This here seems an awful lot like a known-known.
  6. I respectfully disagree. They will destroy the economy - and then the new Trump packed supreme court will realize that the founders wanted all of those “liberty of contract” cases to be followed. So whether black or brown or white, you can always work in freedom factories, or freedom fields - where you will be paid for your 60 hour six day work week in TrumpCoin - to be used at the Trump store.
  7. MAGA Counterpoint:
  8. ….and just like that, the orange man solved de minimus trade items being too expensive - and the problem was gone… If they won’t ship it to you, you can’t pay an increased price due to the tariffs! Art. Of. The. Deal.
  9. I wonder if Singulair would have helped? Singular suppresses the production/formation of histamine - which for me works far better than trying to treat the presence of histamine after it is formed. A decade ago it gave me a new lease on life dealing with my adult asthma in pollen season spring on my street full of oak trees. Shit works. Bigly.
  10. in six months, much of the nation will have 24/7 free time from their former employment to participate in protests.
  11. Why do you want to shame those of us who are still drunk from last night?
  12. He is the Marcus Vic of the Sanders family. A modicum of athletic ability and a fast 40 time, without an ounce of common sense - or an upbringing that gave him an idea how decent people were supposed to act.
  13. May they all enjoy their new-found love of whatever country to which we deport them and/or their families. That machismo bullshit - which is a not insignificant part of certain cultures (by all means, not exclusive to Hispanic/Latino cultures) - is definitely wired to be friendly toward authoritarians. And the same Trump type of Latino voter also feels a warm kindred spirit with the MAGAts misogyny stance - and keeping women in a second class state to cook and have babies and stay out of business and professional occupations. Whore-Madonna thang out front should have told you. Fuck every single one of them. They had a chance to build something wonderful together with the rest of the people in the country they inhabit. They chose instead to shit on their own (if without papers anyway) who are trying to find a better life - and also shit on Black people and gay people and women in their support of Trump. I don’t give a shit if they get ass-raped daily by MS 13 gang members in a shit hole super-Max prison in Central America. You helped bring about the destruction of the country that I love. I have no sympathy for you, amigos. The state of Louisiana has a law that went into effect August 1. Essentially, an undocumented alien cannot sue anyone who seriously injuries or cripples them or their children in a car accident. If you are a white guy who’s drunk and runs the stop sign after their fifth DUI - and you paralyzes some five-year-old daughter of an undocumented alien - the current law in Louisiana says “fuck you, you’re not anything for your pain and suffering and your daughters’s paralysis. Because you are a dirty, brown, illegal immigrant don’t you know? This was always coming in a GOP state. And those assholes voted for the GOP. There is no harm to Hispanic/Latino GOP voters that is harsh enough to make me give a shit about what happens to them.
  14. I view all of this as an example of positive Darwin-like behavior.
  15. This (below) is displayed in a hallway of my home. Fuck that guy. Couldn’t beat Florida.
  16. One of the teams won.
  17. If inflation is only 4% next May after 15%to 20% tariffs have started kicking in for reals - that would far exceed my wildest positive expectation. All we can do is stay on Mr. Choad’s Wild Ride and post on surly.
  18. Oh, I know Jack shit about that case procedurally - or the timeline of events. And there’s a very good chance 100% of what I said was absolutely wrong. I have no idea if they were “at-will” employees - or if they had some kind of contractual agreement on severance. Or what state or country’s laws govern even. Except the part about Elmo invariably saying lots of really embarrassing toxic shit that he would not disclosed in a hearing or a trial.. you know he can’t help himself. It’s that he has so damn much money that when he pays somebody, I just assume the motivation is not the merits of the case - but perhaps more his childlike ego needing to be protected from totally justified criticism of his asshole-ish behavior. I’m probably wish-casting. I’m just glad they will be paid eventually.
  19. …but I will have a stern talking to with my voice recognition software.
  20. I can see how visual proof that you had corn in your bowl of red could lead to diminished societal acceptance.
  21. If on the sad day the US and/or Europe turns its back on Ukraine, I hope Ukraine has enough missiles in storage so they can fire 1000 Flamingo missiles at once at every commercial and military airport tower and runway, every electricity producing power plant (whether oil, coal, nat gas, nuke, or Hydro), every large dam and every and main bridge over every river and gorge in the entire fucking country of Russia. And then fire 1000 the next day onto the moldering ruins of what was hit the first day (and any remaining air defense). Day three should be massive drone attacks in St. Petersburg and Moscow - hitting smaller electrical substations and any banks and government offices not protected. If it comes down to an abandoned Ukraine’s very survival, fuck the impact on Russian civilians and the resulting humanitarian crisis. I get why Ukraine has to play by different rules when they are dependent upon others. That philosophical restriction where Russia attacks civilian targets like apartments and hospitals and energy infrastructure and dams with impunity - and Ukraine can’t respond in kind - should no longer be in play if they are left to their own devices against an immoral Russia. i’d pull out my ‘when Trump dies’ bottle of champagne and celebrate.
  22. I’m pretty sure we can attribute this change of heart to finally winning whatever motion the employees were fighting about to gain access to all of that moron’s texts, tweets, and emails on the subject. You can prolly count on the fact that whatever he was saying in private was cringe worthy. And like waving a red cape at a bull, screenshot blowups of Elmo’s mean girl thought nuggets about the lay-offs would result in a jury hammering him and finding in favor of the former employees at a more expensive lesson than the settlement.
  23. So - if we have a shitty August jobs report September 5, then we do a small rate cut to help the jobs numbers, so when the next month or two inflation from tariffs catches up with us, we raise rates again? If Trump has his people they can get rich timing the good and bad news. Not that he would ever do that.
