  1. or the broccoli cut…. I’ve got teen boys one is 17 going on 40 he’s legit. The 15 year old his styling his broccoli hair though. Ugh.
  2. I’m definitely opposed to names on the jerseys.
  3. this is my main thing, have a well trimmed beard, longer hair that doesn't make you look like either a pedo or patrick mahomes then fine. I'm still gonna rail on dudes that look like trash don't care what uni they wear. start looking like coon ass hey, fair game. but represent the university with class, look like you have some class and fuck shit up on and off the field repping the university then grow that shit out I don't care.
  4. this looks great... hint hint hint...
  5. and if there is a real substantial increase then why the fuck aren't the democrats holding a press conference right now saying he gutted FAA it's not safe to travel. here are the stats, flyer beware???
  6. seems bad but honest question - what is the frequency uptick here, and what causal link can we truly establish - basically I don't know how many of those are smaller planes that we wouldn't hear about normally vs there was an average of 3 per month and now there is has been 11 incidents in february and we aren't done yet.
  7. I looked at two threads, both were at least 75% Trump is the bestest, but I was expecting 100%. I didn't go farther than that.
  8. I have a smidge of hope, even on texags at least the discussion regarding Ukraine is active and not just pledged allegiance to dear leader. it tilts hard to trump but not 100%.
  9. fucking told you so, he's calling Zelensky a dictator now. MOTHER OF CHRIST this is Europe 1930s except WE ARE GERMANY.
  10. fucking told you so, he was going to call Zelenskyy a dictator.
  11. there's a lot more going on here, not just political will, but a lack of manufacturing infrastructure and the US can easily prohibit the sale of arms to Ukraine or the use of them in defense of Ukraine. Europe's own demographic problems. ramping up military might is a decades long strategy and Europe needs to do it but it's for WWIII in 20 years - if it can wait that long. And that's if they act NOW. Trump has so many cards here, this is a very, very dangerous time for Europe and Ukraine. Intensely dangerous. The only possible way out is for Trump to get his ass handed to him (along with Congress) in 2 and 4 years and Russia is too weak to take advantage over the next 3 years.
  12. I think it's more like Common Sense 1, Well Shit 11. Run ruled those bastards.
  13. We watched it a few months ago. Great film.
  14. I woke up thinking Zel has to do a deal with Trump and he has to make sure at least Europe can (and will) put boots on the ground. Then hope like hell Russia is too weak economically, militarily and demographically to mount any offensive in the Balkans for at least 3.5 years, and Europe needs to step the fuck up. The goal on this has to be to wait Russia out on this until enough carnage occurs over here Trump and his cronies suffer a political blood bath (at the ballot box). Then the US can cancel its own bullshit agreement and move on with doing the right thing. It’s not guaranteed but it’s become the only play.
  15. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2025/02/trump-doge-layoffs-project-2025-election-security-cisa-firing.html
  16. Polling is plummeting for Trump and musk. https://www.nj.com/politics/2025/02/major-trouble-for-donald-trump-in-new-polling-is-chaos-catching-up-to-him.html
  17. What the fuck https://apple.news/Am5rISRHMQ3i7Wqaulde_Jw Trump's Department of Homeland Security has now budgeted as much as $200 million on anti-immigrant ads -- and the first round of them make clear his administration intends to use this immense amount of public money to very specifically promote Trump, both in America and around the globe. The ads also happen to look, sound, and feel exactly like campaign ads. Both ad versions include soaring music and feature numerous snippets of Trump in action -- saluting troops, waving around, signing executive orders, speaking at podiums -- to the point where the casual viewer would likely have no idea they are watching their tax dollars being burned on these TV ads.
  18. The news of today imo could not be more devastating to Ukraine, I’ll just leave it at that.
  19. DT isn’t the place for this well I actually think today was a devastating news day for Ukraine. I think it’s over. I think Russia and Trump will gaslight Ukraine into elections or cutting off aid (including prohibitions of US military weapons and ammunition being sold) to Ukraine and it will be a master class on gas lighting and the right wing factions of the western world will eat it up. Ukraine is fascist, Ukraine is authoritarian, Ukraine is ruled by a dictator who has suspended elections, and either Zelenskyy will relent and settle without the concessions he needs or elections will happen and Putin will FA but won’t FO. I truly think today was the darkest day for democracy in many many generations. I’m really distressed about this.
  20. Yeah my wife is like “I keep telling you an Apple Watch at most, otherwise you’re a target.” And she’s not even sure about that. No jewelry, trade down the engagement / wedding ring, no bling at all. I has a sad.
  21. Then don’t act like nothing happened today. History books will be written about what happened today and there will be no artificial DT or CR distinction. I’ll bow out. It’s over anyway. * and if your going to call anyone out read the 3-4 posts above mine. I was actually analyzing the facts of the day not doing drive by gratuitous ad hominem attacks.
  22. so the government investigates his companies, he buys the election and influence to a level never contemplated by citizens United, he then guts the government burns it down with arsonist flair or is it flare? And while saying he’s not here to steal your money we are supposed to believe this isn’t profit motivated and it’s good for all of us? It’s a fucking personal crusade not an altruistic mission. Jesus fucking Christ.
  23. I agree it adds no real value other than capturing minds for subscription revenue and ad revenue where that’s applicable. In and of itself it has no actual value.
