  1. Run Rusky, run Rusky, run…run…run….
  2. it’s not like the DA has an unlimited amount of money to spend. They have a budget, and spending it all on one case can wind up negatively affecting a larger number of cases that require expensive experts and testing. The last people who should be driving the bus are the relatives of the murdered victims. It is understandable that all they want is vengeance, but we did away with an eye for an eye a long time ago. this is only my personal perspective, but I think society benefits more from psychiatrists being able to interview those type of people and find out what makes their broken brains tick then the temporary satisfaction of killing the monster who killed some innocent people. Ted Bundy was finally starting to talk about “ the entity” that made him do the killings when he was executed. The more you know about those people the better chance you have to catch them before they kill again.
  3. The Democrats should tell Elmo that they will preserve all carbon credit EV credit type stuff if he agrees to let X be the propaganda arm of the Democrats the same way Elmo made it the propaganda arm of MAGA. Straight business, Homie.
  4. Elmo is taking on the orange shit-gibbon again.
  5. And are generally the nicest people on earth. Their religion is laughably whack, but their focus on family and relationships It’s a pretty damn good idea that more people should follow.
  6. Are the Teslas driven by Elmo fans? This could change my answer.
  7. Well, compared to the rest of the world we are a heavily armed nuclear power, bully with tremendous economic influence, and political influence. If our country was a person, a person with that capacity to do damage (who is not currently on their meds) could lead you to fake that you agree with that person until 1) they start taking their meds again or 2) until you can conspire with some of your pals to take the bully out.
  8. Genius! Don’t really negotiate with allies and trading partners, just send them a letter with what the tariffs percentage is that Trump likes, and I’m sure they will respond with a total absence of negativity. Fart of the deal.
  9. I spent time in Sandpoint Idaho, because my parents had a timeshare there. It is a very beautiful part of the country, but even 40 years ago, the place was chock full of white supremacists.
  10. It is clearly ridiculous that Joseph Smith translated ancient Egyptian documents through a magic crystal. Everyone knows that you get your best God information from a burning bush.
  11. at this point, it’s not so important what the tariff rates are, Canadians everywhere are on a mission not to buy a goddamn thing from America if they can help it. Whether it’s for a generation or just this administration term I cannot say, but my guess would be Canadians won’t be vacationing in the USA or buying American bourbon anytime soon.
  12. The market wants to be high because the market wants to be high, I guess. Trump is doing his best to be friendly with Canadians by asking them to give us their country, which is really complementary when you step back and think about it. I have it on good advice that we don’t need Canada and Canada is entirely dependent on us. Why waste time thinking about that when the market is doing so well? Snark aside, I look forward to July 10.
  13. I’m not sure about that. If you are - say - successful enough to be a millionaire business owner and entrepreneur, starting a my pillow business should make you immune to that sort of nonsense.
  14. I think they are exactly the type of people who will turn in GOLL once Trump’s SS wants to know who’s loyal. They have no problems with pain happening to the others. But once the others are gone, GOLL may become a target as ‘other-lite’. Not brown-ish, but still an enemy of the people. Turning in friends and relatives might be the line in the sand for some folks, but with MAGA, banking on that would be a fool’s bet.
  15. Rod’s username checks out.
  16. Back in the day they had these things called tax returns. And 1099s. Rumor has it that the government would know all kinds of personal things about you, like how much you made in interest - and how much your employer paid you - and what your capital gains from sale of stocks and real estate were. Those bastards also knew how much you had in retirement accounts when you hit 73 and older, and would check to make sure you took minimum distributions based on the amount of the account. Some say you would pay a greater Medicare premium if you made more money and junk. I think Big Brother can come up with some sort of way of knowing if you earned too much to get full benefits.
  17. it is fair because it was meant to be insurance for old age upkeep. That is why the most Elon Musk can get from Social Security is exactly the same as someone making 10,000 times less. It was not supposed to be a personal savings account that reflected exactly how well you did financially. (and yes, I know there is a cap on Social Security at about $175K and no cap on Medicare earnings so that Elon did not pay the same share of his earnings for Social Security) It was a depression era program created to keep people from starving to death while being homeless. If someone makes ten million a year and are bitching about not getting their Social Security, then they are a selfish asshole. Obviously, the devil is in the details, and in this case it depends on what income level you start means testing. That is a legitimate point of discussion. Edit: Troph beat me to it
  18. Maybe Trump thinks that he will unite the GOP rurals and the urban Democrats when the rurals have to go into town to access the bread and soup lines…
  19. I guess in your state that won’t attract the pythons..,
  20. My complete thoughts on the subject are actually the two posts. There are idiots who really don’t follow any of the news - but all of their friends and family and church members are big GOP types. Since they don’t follow what is going on, they essentially fall back on “ I don’t follow who to vote for, but all my friends say vote for these guys, and they seem really upset if you are a Democrat, because it’s bad, so I guess I’m voting Republican” My work colleague I mentioned was one of those people who weirdly was extremely religious, but seemingly completely uninformed on anything political. My small point was that people like that were not voting for Trump because they were racist and liked racist policies, some of the idiots had bought into three decades of “Democrats bad, GOP protected family values”, and they feel pressure from a societal point not getting sideways with all their friends and family and fellow church members. You are exactly correct that if the people voting for the GOP knew exactly what the fuck was going on, but supported the GOP anyway to not get sideways with friends and neighbors, then those people get no pass whatsoever. In a way they are worse than the actual racists because they should know better. Since all of the politicians know exactly what is going on, they are the ones who have simply no defense of any kind. I could’ve been clearer in my first post, but you can’t make me change my scotch drinking habits.
  21. Did the subject matter of the email say Muledick?
