  1. It might as well be his middle name with how he refuses to spell it right.
  2. The Democratic Party is useless, but that became completely evident when they did next to nothing to fix TFG’s destruction of the government the first time around. Sure I vote for them, but the alternative is voting for fascists who hate democracy.
  3. Words mean nothing right now. Either have your police force out actively defending the citizens under your jurisdiction or step aside and find someone that will. I'm not for violence or killing, but it's coming. If you're a police officer on the side of the citizens who don't support this fascist garbage then get ready to have to engage ICE aggy where bullets are going to be used and not mere words.
  4. Charlie is bathing in a lake of fire at the moment so he'll have to get back to you on this one.
  5. I watched it. I really don't want to expound or give any lengthy explanation, but what Jon described in that segment is Italy in the early 20's (except they had a very weak military), Japan from the late 20's onward and now increasingly Germany at the end of the Weimar Republic as it descended into the fanatical world of the ideology of moronic racists that we all know as nazis. When 78 million people voted for TFG they also voted for this. They voted for the horrors that will be visited upon their neighbors over the next several years. They voted for the war we will bring to places that cannot fight back. They voted for handing TFG and his acolytes all of our nation's wealth. They voted to give the keys to a narcissist unlike any that came before him and I suspect one that historians centuries from now will say has not been equaled since. Your family members who are die-hard Maga voted for this. Your friends that voted for him because "What the hell do you have to lose?" voted for this. When you see people dragged away never to be seen again the fault will lie at the feet of those 78 million. We threw away the place people in far flung parts of the world looked at as the country they would do anything to be in and have a family in. We gave it all up and now everyone is about to get a big dose of "F you pay me." There will be violence because with humans wanting to control other humans there always is. Some of you will lose family members to said violence. I don't wish that on anyone, but it's coming so prepare yourself as best you can for that. An election won't save you because, and this is key, totalitarians can and will manipulate an election. It's why they are totalitarian leaders or regimes. Anyone thinking that a mid-term election will go your way when the guy overseeing all of it just declared himself acting president of a foreign country had better get their head removed from their backside. If you think TFG is going to relinquish power, hoo boy I'll bet you also think the Dallas Cowboys are going to win the Super Bowl next year. I keep wanting to contact a couple of my professors to ask them what they think about all of this, but I haven't yet because I don't want to hear some canned response that all is okay. I would hope that wouldn't be what I would get from them considering they are all among the best in their area of the study of World War II, but I have so little faith in human beings that I just don't want to ask for any guidance from them at this pivotal moment in history. This all is just so shameful and so pointless. Millions of Americans, Canadians, British, Australians, Russians, Kiwis, Chinese, Indian troops (especially the Gurkhas) a smattering of Brazilians (Yes they fought too), Filipino Guerrillas, indigenous scouts in The Solomons and New Guinea among so many, many other peoples of the earth fought back 80-90 years ago to make sure this never happened again on a worldwide scale. Yet here the hell we are because the United States of America was asleep at the wheel while these cowards got the levers of power. I feel sad for the sacrifice all those people made only to see this now happening.
  6. Maybe a year or so ago I directly said on here that people in places like Texas are either going to up and move away and leave behind your life or you can stay and endure fascism. Your businesses will be taken and you’ll eventually be entirely at the mercy of these morons. I said it directly to stress the importance of leaving while you still can. I know it offended a few people to say it like that, especially those with businesses or ties to Texas going back generations. The point then, as it is now, was not to belittle anyone it was to wake some folks up to the fact that their entire way of life would change. If you are still sticking it out in Texas in spite of all evidence pointing towards a now fascist state regime as well, good luck to you. Do your best to help people in Texas that will need it, but know life is now going to hurt for you and yours.
  7. This is not real hard to predict since we live in a nation of citizens armed to the teeth, but once the weather warms up the spark that will really set all this off will be when someone shoots and kills someone in ICE in one of these raids. I do not endorse killing folks, but you can see where this is headed. The next step after that involves a brutal government crackdown on the citizens of our country. Try to make sure that if you have to that y’all have a way for you and your family to be on the move quickly to a safe place or a new country if possible.
  8. I am going to leave this here. This is fascism on a government website. This is also white supremacy in its more bare form. You do not need to be doing what I am to figure out what it is. If you do not believe that any of this is fascism then please do the rest of us a favor and take a long walk off a short pier into shark infested waters ASAP. U.S. Department of Homeland SecurityHome | Homeland SecurityU.S. Department of Homeland Security: With honor and integrity, we will safeguard the American people, our homeland, and our values.
  9. The biggest guillotines. Many people will be saying that who watch the heads roll of the fascist traitors that started America’s descent into fascism.
  10. There is no equivalent to that site, at all. Now seeing them write books like Giri Nathan’s book about Alcaraz and Sinner (fantastic read and I met Giri before he wrote it. Absolutely a really good person.) I really hope folks here will subscribe to them. It would be cool if Imma had some kind of partnership with Defector. Not sure how it would work, but would be good.
  11. Gift link from Defector. If you do not subscribe to anything besides Surly, well, this should be the other subscription. I think you can get it for 12 per month. That means all of you here who read about sports and politics should be a paid subscriber to Defector. They cover everything you could possibly want to read about. They have the best American political writer in David Roth (no close 2nd to him), but they also really, really hate anything associated with TFG, especially ICE. The Sports Highlight Of The Day Is This ICE Goon Eating S...Federal agents continued their operations in Minneapolis over the weekend, where they were met with resistance from local residents who do not want to see their communities invaded by masked shitheads
  12. Screw Colt. He knows better yet chooses to join in with the fascists. Someone go find an Alabama DL for him. Apparently he needs a good beatdown again.
  13. Ian Toll’s trilogy is a great foundation to have to better understand the Pacific War. He and James Hornfischer (RIP) have done more to highlight the part of World War II than any other American writer in the last 40 years. They are and were such gifted storytellers. I highly recommend Toll’s trilogy to anyone interested in the subject.
  14. Pretty sure I marched across the Brooklyn Bridge in July of 2020 with the guy on the bullhorn in the NYC video. I recognize that voice and the drumming is the same from that march. I still have the video from that march of 3000-4000 protestors. Young fella in the first video has ALL of my respect. Screw these fascist traitors
  15. You're welcome. I can't tell you how much I smiled while listening to this woman speak to me. Knowing that her story will be put pen to paper eventually made her happier than she already normally is from what I could gather. There are good people still to be found in this world. Sometimes we get surprised by them and they change our lives. This woman did that for me. I think that what you experienced living there during that period in both German and European history as a whole shaped who you became and who you are today. I am fairly certain that you could expound on that moment further. It is clearly one you can recall easily and for good reason. You have your own story from your life and I hope that you will either sit down and take the time to recall it to someone or perhaps do it yourself. My father, were he still alive, would be your age. He would be turning 80 in a couple of weeks and life for him, even in West Germany, was very rough, but it shaped who he became when he got on an ocean liner with his mother and stepfather (A drunk in the army that beat my Oma often from what I was told.) in November of 1964 to come to America. I know you regularly have shared stories on here about your life, but it would be cool to see or hear it from the beginning to right now.
  16. He is just SOOOO ridiculously stupid. It is incredible how dumb and uneducated TFG is. The oil companies know he wants a cut to let them into Venezuela. Some will wait it out or negotiate directly with the next president there to do an end around on this moron.
  17. Don’t worry. We’ll send in the military to get the infrastructure in place to take all of their oil and other natural resources and do it under the banner of protecting Americans from the tyranny of whatever TFG decides he wants to use to distract from the fact that he’s a pedophile.
  18. He’s 80, he’s done loads of hard drugs in his life and he’s a narcissist. He’s also a closet alcoholic, but that should also be obvious to anyone who has read his tweets. FIFA could have given him a big gold star to put on his clothing that looks like the Star of David and told him he’s the King of all peace deals and he would’ve accepted it. All of you that raised children had smarter kids once they could ride a bike than TFG. I am going to eagerly write about this time in world history down the line and write worse about TFG than Samuel Eliot Morison did about Admiral Halsey. Not only is there no bottom with him, the hole is infinite and it has sucked in millions of feckless morons across America who can’t count to potato, but are self-assured experts on pandemics, autism and geopolitics. I can guarantee that I could absolutely run across one of these older idiot cult members in the wild, use the term geopolitics and be asked what a Geo Metro has to do with anything.
  19. I don’t believe that it is sustainable to be bad for three quarters each week. I think his coach is a good one, but I also know his backside is redder than the reddest aggy. Those two things don’t mix well in a coach-QB relationship.
  20. I watched none of this game and maybe three minutes of the NFL this year on accident. Can someone explain how Williams can consistently be so mediocre for most of the game and then morph into vintage Tom Brady for about 15 minutes? Also how much are the Bears going to pay for this kind of QB? 60 million a season since one quarter is better than the zero quarters they normally get from the position?
  21. Not certain that anyone said Tech’s offense was anything other than average. Their defense was legit all year. Hard to win playoff games though when your offense puts up a goose egg and your head coach is a JAG. I am not sold on Sorsby being the answer to their offensive issues, but at least they recognize that QB play hurt them more than it helped. I would’ve targeted Leavitt and made him refuse an offer that no other school would match. Tech will be really good again next year, but all it takes is one injury to derail the whole season.
