  1. With Trump, it's never not been this. World Wrestling Federation is his starter base. He used to attend the big matches and walk in like a bad ass celeb gangsta. There's a very old video about this somewhere in YouTube. The spectacle, the posing, the preening, the heckling, the evil villains, and hero wrestlers, the fact that every wrestler breaks the rules, gang up on single wrestler, etc. That's Trump. The idiocy of all that perfectly symbolizes MAGA.... who are then exploited by the billionaires and Bible thumpers.
  2. That Dog Comic video is just one of millions of examples of our public education and news media systems -- however flawed -- being utterly overwhelmed by the mass idiocy produced by decades of TV, social media, creationism, Hollywood sci-fi ... and virtually no real science or astronomy. Just had lunch today with 35 y/o female long-time friend (no pics) with college degree from solid university (yet only had to take one science class) ... successful art/design consulting business ... dang good looking ... and hates Trump. Yet, she now believes her crazy old uncle in New Mexico who supposedly "worked at Los Alamos" ... who produces videos that claim that ETs have sent "biological drones" to Earth and some crashed at Roswell and elsewhere. These drones are now arriving in "Reptilian forms." She's also wondering if the moon is a giant surveillance satellite operated by advanced ETs. I'm not joking!!! i'm a life-long single never married dude. Thus, I traffic in crowds that often have lots of singles (artsy-fartsy art, design, fashionista world). I have heard the craziest crap, and much of it from liberal chicks and dudes... most of whom I presume vote D... but can't be certain. Let me tell ya... It's nuts galore out here.
  3. Yeah, he would. The only difference now is now he can state it loudly, proudly, out in the open. He took communion on the moon after all ... a complete insult to the science and technology that got Armstrong and Aldrin to the moon. It's all doublethink. He was most likely a Nixon supporter. F him.
  4. So ole Buzz is a fascist, after all. Just like Elon, who he praises in the Tweet. Fuck Buzz, Elon, and any one else involved with NASA for supporting Trump.
  5. There are millions of dudes like "Jared" in America. MILLIONS. Spoiled middle-aged white pricks who carry the water for MAGA and Trump. They are pathetic. I know one. Or should I say, I once knew one. A dude and friend I knew from UT. Middle class family. Great parents. But he was fucking spoiled! Oh, he worked and studied hard, but man did he feel self-entitled to everything he desired (Trigger warning 1). Was also New Wave. Loved Devo, The Cars, The Pretenders. And a generally fun dude who was also a player with the ladies. Also, a Libertarian (Trigger warning 2). We eventually lost touch for more than two decades. Out of nowhere, he tracks me down via social media. He's now twice divorced, two kids. I mention that I am headed to LA for business that summer. He invites me to his big ass beach pad outside San Diego. He's made a lot money, worth $14 million (for real). So, I take the bait and buzz down for a visit, top down on the convertible rent car. Great drive. This is late summer 2016, the election is in full gear. As I drive up, I see a Trump sign in his yard. He comes running out the door "I know you saw the sign, let's go get some tequila and tacos and we can discuss politics and economics." So we head to chic hipster place for tacos and tequila. Great food and drink. Fantastic. Many hot 25-50 year old Cali women. As we eat, drink and enjoy the talent, he spews out the biggest line of BS for supporting Trump. Unbelievable leaps in logic, absent facts. Hillary was coming for his money, was going to install SOCIALISM, would crash the stock market -- and he WOULD LOSE HIS $$$$ and BEACH MANSION. Because of socialism! He did not give a shit about the environment, climate catastrophe, the racism of Trump-MAGA. Only that which he thought might threaten his money and beach pad. Socialism! He literally believed that a vote for Trump was needed to save his fucking beach pad. He was dead serious. Believed that Hillary and Dems were coming for guys like HIM. They are coming for HIM and his way of life. It was literally insane. His eyes were bugging out at times. When I told eventually him (friendly manner) that his imagination was kinda going off the rails with regard to facts and logic, he got pissed. Then trashed one of my books, he claimed he read, and then crudely insulted one of my other more creative works. So I told him to fuck off. I picked up the damn check (didn't want to a lazy poor libtard) ... stood up ... turned and told him to never contact me again ... he said something under his breath and headed for the door ....and I walked over to the smoky brunette at the bar who gave me smile. TLDR Fuck these spoiled entitled dudes who support Trump-MAGA.
  6. He said he's "a Christian" -- there's your answer.
  7. They haven't abandoned their values. The MAGA worldview expresses their values. At least as the MAGA worldview emerged over the past 40 years since Reagan. Bottom line: They are voting for what they believe, for what they are, for the world they want.
  8. Better yet. Imagine UT trails by 5 in the national championship game, with 45 seconds left in the game. Longhorns have the ball on the opponent's 10-yard line, with a first down, 4 shots to win, with QE as QB and Sark calling the plays. Plus, we all remember the Washington game last year. Speaking for myself, I have near-zero confidence Texas scores to win the title. (If VY is the QB, I am 100% confident and already celebrating the title.)
  9. Pretty sure that Trump-Musk-MAGA-fascist Nazi rally puts the lie to the wise ole Surly lawyers telling us the legal system works, albeit slowly. Lulz. Trump, a Nazi fascist, is walking all over the legal system. I'll believe it when I see it ... if any legal justice is served to Trump and the Jan 6 ringleaders. Sorry, but I always thought the Surly law dogs couldn't see the towering fast-growing fascist forest for the trees.... they are too busy discussing the lawful and most appropriate use of a chainsaw that meets all forestry specifications.
  10. Pretty sure there's a book of Hitler speeches. I think I saw one at Half-Price books when Iived in Austin. Might be available online somewhere.
  11. And 99% of the football Surly-BON posters love being in the SEC SEC SEC. It's a fucking fascist confederacy conference. I'll say it: Fuck Eltife, Hartzel, and, yeah, CDC, too, for cheerleading that shit. Of course, Fuck Aggy, too.
  12. For the record, I have been offering similar warnings and observations about the collapse and trends -- for over two decades, just not in Surly, but often in public forums/settings/etc. Almost everyone (98%) was in denial and most probably still are. Welcome to American Exceptionalism. FAFO. And now the Christian-fascist-nazi theocracy is here. That's why I'm over the ledge.... past brisket!
  13. My blood runs back very far in deep time, to about 9 billion years ABB (After the Big Bang). -- That's when the solar system was formed from a supernova, an exploding star that spawned the ingredients for me to exist and be alive.
  14. The Ivy League grad as "elite thinkers" is the perhaps most overrated bullshit in the history of America. And they have fooled America for centuries. Political leaders from the Ivy League have done more political and international damage to America than leaders from all other universities combined. All because they think they "know better ... are smarter (etc.)" than the rest of us. I spent some time in Corporate America (three decades ago) and had to work on some projects with many Ivy Leaguers. They were fucking elitist privileged Frat/Sorority types who had zero business or creative sense and had their position on because of the degree. Just corporate drones. Yet thought they were capitalist geniuses! To say they smugly and arrogantly looked down on UT grads (or anyone from a state university) might be an understatement. Fuck that and fuck the Ivy League.
  15. You left out Christian fascist. Amazing how many times that happens on Surly. The connecting through line for 98% of MAGA is Christian Evangelical Fundamentalist Creationist Fascist.
  16. Does that include not being able to score late TDs to win or close out games? -- Such as first down from the 5 yard line, to put Vandy away. -- Such as having 4 shots from inside the 15 to beat Washington and go to championship game. -- Such as not scoring 7 v OU in last minute in 2022 ... thus OU gets 7 and wins. -- Such as not scoring 7 v Bama in 2022 ... thus Bama gets 3 to win. So far, Sark is not a great late game coach. It is a recurring problem. So far, he is not a great adapter to defenses that stop Texas offense. It is a recurring problem. To win national titles, Sark needs to be much better. With Sark or Arch or whoever is QB. No excuses.
  17. Why are y'all engaging with a lackey for MAGA-GQP Christian fascism? The hypocrisy, inaccuracies, and overall idiocy are astronomical.
  18. Just think, the world's two leading "space entrepreneurs' are Elon Musk, a long-known fascist, and Jeff Bezos, who cowardly bent the knee before Donald Trump, the fascist leader of MAGA, America's fascist political party. Musk and Bezos are not space visionaries. One is a fascist and the other a fascist lackey. These dudes show they don't care about any of the people being targeted or oppressed by MAGA, as long as profits or tax breaks can be had. And their space visions are a far cry from enlightened, just more Manifest Destiny colonization and capitalism. Of course, SpaceX is now headquartered in Texas and Bezos's Blue Origin has launch facilities in Far West Texas. No surprise, they get huge tax breaks! So Bezos had to bend the knee to Trump to also signal to Abbott and Paxton he will not challenge the MAGA regime. Five decades after Houston's Mission Control led humanity on perhaps its single greatest achievement, the Apollo moon landings, NASA now awards contracts to SpaceX and Blue Origin led by a fascist and a fascist lackey. That's right, NASA, the single greatest science organization in the history of the human species is now in bed with fascism. And it is all centered in Texas, now ground zero for what can only be called space fascism. That's just fucked in all dimensions.
  19. You're right, my ideas are a danger to dudes like you. But, sorry, I don't drink with Christian fascist bootlickers.
  20. MAGA is a mass coma.... complete mass brain death. Just the way their Christian fascist leaders and billionaire exploiters like it.
  21. How? Here are some key reasons: Cowardly legacy media and cowardly billionaires who refuse to stand up to Trump and MAGA. And/or billionaires who agree with Trump/MAGA. That's how!
  22. Too little, too late. Won't be too hard to find "editors" who will kneel before the MAGA Fuhrer for a huge paycheck and proximity to fascist power in action and all the "news" that will generate. Pre-WW2 Nazi Germany is the historical model Team MAGA and Team Billionaire are following.
  23. Ha! Houston Chronicle endorses Kamala and shows way more courage than WaPo and LA Times and all the TV media. I am not from Houston, but I am from Texas ... and I am damn proud to see that paper stand up to Christian fascism... at least on the editorial page.
  24. Glad to hear some of y'all are canceling. I let my NYTimes subscription expire sometime in the late 1990s-early 2000s. Never bothered with WaPo except browsing through the copies at Borders Books. Felt like a clone of the NYTimes. Got so tired of NYTimes "both sides" coverage of the rising Christian fascism and general "right wing" political idiocy... such as Patrick Buchanan and Ross Perot, both of whom who prefigure Trump.
  25. 100,000% Spot on. The powerful legacy media (NYT, WaPo, CNN, LATimes and all the others) have absolutely enabled MAGA and Trump since Day Fucking One! From the beginning, it was obvious Christian fascism in 2016. But the media were wedded to supposedly being fair to "both sides" ... and now they kneel and cower before one side. Spineless cowards to the very end. Very much like the mass media in Weimar Germany.
