Is he sleeping in today, or something? I'm ready to be liberated!

8.3% with 82% reporting. 30+% victory by Waltz. Yay?

I haven't listened to Rogan speak since the last time I watched Fear Factor as a 12 year-old. Is he a hard-core Trumper who pretends to care occasionally, or just a total fucking idiot?

God forgives me, so no need to apologize!
This is where I always clashed with my (final) christian gf back in college. A nazi who accepts Jesus gets his ticket to heaven punched but the jews he murdered are condemned to eternal hellfire? Seems like a suspect system...

Nothing like enjoying the serenity and beauty of Big Bend NP alongside hundreds of troops and armored cars... https://www.chron.com/life/wildlife/article/texas-national-park-big-bend-troops-20245858.php

Trump’s America
Imagine, even in the depths of Trump's first term, Canada coming right out and saying we're not allies anymore. I was casually having drinks on Brisket's ledge after reelection, but even I am surprised with the speed of our descent. Truly remarkable. I wish I could be content to say I told you so. But instead it's more like "GET OFF THE SHIP NOW OR WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE, YOU GODDAMN MORONS!"

Trump’s America
My wife got to intubate a kid with measles the other day. Our youngest is still a few weeks shy of being able to get the vaccine, so that's fun. It really fucking sucks that Trump has been the dominant political figure for most of my post-graduate life. How much faster have we all aged this last decade?

America's Foreign Policy & Other Shit Going On Around the World thread
Well half his fucking cabinet was involved. One guy is easy to throw under the bus. A dozen dumbfucks he appointed? That's a little harder to do.

America's Foreign Policy & Other Shit Going On Around the World thread
Stupidity and malevolence are not mutually exclusive. Yes, the administration appears to be full of fucking morons. Those morons may also have just enough wherewithal to want to cover up their actions.

What the Fuck is Wrong with you, Orcas?
That is horrible for her, but if I had a blood/bleeding disorder, you would not find me swimming with dolphins, riding horses or doing anything else with animals much larger than me.

Yea, but even if Hegseth left his cell phone on the bar counter in Moscow, I'm sure he has that thing strongly password protected.

The best "but her emails" example... so far.

DOGE: America Fucking Around
Technically, just a subspecies of the greater prairie chicken, which is itself highly endangered, as are nearly all grassland birds in the country. But that should make it even easier for the administration to wave off any criticism about this. Nevermind that there were once 2 million of them in the state, and now they're a shadow of a shadow of what they once were. But those goddamn freeloading biologists who live on site and make next to nothing to protect the refuge are practically stealing taxpayer dollars!!! I have a friend who spent a year there. He sounds heartbroken, as I imagine virtually every NPS worker across the entire country is these days. It is a beautiful prairie. I've been several times, never on a guided tour. Seen the prairie chicken once. But they are just part of an underappreciated landscape.

Severance (Apple TV)
I have been unable to get my wife on board so far, but she's starting to show interest. I have no problem watching a 2nd (probably 3rd) time with someone experiencing it fresh.

It was definitely Helly at the beginning, when Jame Eagan came to see her. I wondered at the end though if she hadn't been switched back somehow. I hope we don't have to wait 3 years for the next season.

American Happiness Reaches Five-decade Low
On the one hand, I will not be eating another one. On the other, do I want to know if burrito-induced cancer is growing inside my body?

Imagine a world where this clown is viewed as the joke of a human being he is, and not someone who can win an election for anything with more import than a neighborhood HOA.

Sadly, we were all white boys and lacked this cultural expertise.

American Happiness Reaches Five-decade Low
You can keep your fancy I-talian food. I believe these were a full pound of delicious, microwavable mush for $1.99 in the late 2000s.

American Happiness Reaches Five-decade Low
Damn, us millenials swept every drinking category? Also, as others have noted, rural America may be great if you're a rich, white, retired person. I love being outdoors but I'm not bringing my mixed-race family out there to live.

So I saw a man die tonight
I was a pretty well-behaved kid for the most part, but did the typical stupid stuff in college. I am not looking forward to when my boys are that age. It's amazing most of us make it.
