  1. I mean…you answered your own question. They’re giving Dotard a billion of…our money.
  2. The butter, cheese, and bacon part?

    Pick an analogy for these times? Americans go hiking wearing one flip flop, a busted up sneaker from Wal Mart, a Bud t-shirt and nylon shorts, after smearing themselves in shit, carrying a canteen of bloodstained piss while yelling at anyone suggesting they carry water instead as “stupid deep state elitists, you ain’t gonna tell me what to do!” That about cover it?
  4. Yeah….it’s not hyperbole when it’s true and as plain as the nose on your face. The fact that something is singularly and spectacularly awful doesn’t make hyperbole. FFS, in this timeline, that makes it “a typical Wednesday.”
  5. In case you were wondering whether the scenario described is a crime.....it's definitely a crime: 18 U.S. Code § 241 - Conspiracy against rightsIf two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same; or If two or more persons go in disguise on the highway, or on the premises of another, with intent to prevent or hinder his free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege so secured— They shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, they shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.

    This metaphor is more succinct than mine, and is more Donnie Dumpy Diapers-specific, so I'ma go with this one going forward.
  7. Need to grab a potato and a piece of salmon, because I've got an envelope of this starter from our last care package from Norway in the pantry just waiting: So easy, and so damned hearty and good. Maybe add some celery and onion that I already have, but they're not super necessary. Once made an outstanding pot from that same mix, with local salmon, in the dining hut at our cabin on the banks of invikkfjord.
  8. I mean, we do both look pretty snazzy in a hat.

    No. Read the commentaries that are being shared wide. Trump is a symptom. We the super-shitty people, and our non-resilient institutions, are the disease.

    I'd argue with you if I could. Their penchant for giving you a single cube of ice when you ask for ice is a source of significant humor in our family. Also - and we think it's tied to this - in the summer, they (particularly the Germans) are the most dehydrated people on the planet. It's hot out, drink some damned water, take it from the people who live in "hot" 10 months a year. Geez. No wonder they get cranky.

    Yeah. The damage is done. Threatening to invade and wage war on a sovereign nation for no reason other than conquest and dickheadedness.....there's not takesies-backsies on that shit. It's like getting in a fight with your wife about how to load the dishwasher, and shouting "fuck you cunt, you should know I fucked your best friend last week, and her tits are 10X better than yours." You don't get to come back and say "I'm glad we were able to work out the dishwasher thing, and why don't you forget all that stuff I said about your best friend?" That's not how shit works.

    Like…all of our preexisting treaties with Denmark and NATO. I hate stupidity, and these days, it’s our most abundant natural resource.
  13. Brisketexan replied to Zavala's topic in Daily Texan
    Yeah…but they drink a shitload of wine etc and smoke a few cigs and maybe take a mistress-banging break while doing so, so….advantage to Europe.
  14. Brisketexan replied to RPM's topic in Cloak Room
    Yep. I did. Because it can't hurt for them to have some reminder from "man on the street" American people who they serve, and with whom their loyalty always must lie. I certainly wouldn't be surprised if more than one of them went home that night and said "honey, the weirdest thing happened today [then relates what happened]." And maybe....just maybe....the wife says "man....that people think that sort of thing actually needs to be said, that's something." That's it. Just plant a seed. Maybe it works/helps. Maybe it does nothing. But you miss 100% of the pitches you don't swing at. I'm not a "do nothing, say nothing" person.
  15. Well, you should feel hurt. You were left out because you're ugly.
  16. I mean, not YET we aren't. Stupid ice storm.

    I recently ran across some military officers at a lunch. I took a moment out of my day, and went up to them. Told them that I hope they have a good lunch, and I appreciate their service to the country. And I then told them that it pains me to even have this conversation, but please remember your oath and your duty with respect to legal versus illegal orders. And that I hope it will never come to that, but I trust that they will follow their oath and remain loyal to the constitution and the American people. The people are counting on you to make the right choice if it comes to that, don't let us down. I didn't tell them about any order they may have already received or might be receiving soon. Because I don't know every detail about such order, or the context of such order. So I'd be speaking out of school if I said "that's an illegal order." Mark Kelly similarly, and correctly, acknowledged that he did not have every detail of the order he was discussing, or the context in which it was given, and thus he was not going to offer a black and white statement as to whether it was illegal. That's something that has to be determined at the time, and based on the context and information provided to the person given the order (e.g., if a general knows that a hut has only civilians in it and without telling the captain flying the A-10 who is in the hut (or even worse, lying to him about who is in the hut), orders the captain to hit the hut, that may have been an illegal order, but not with respect to the captain). We can't know all of that information. Kelly said something that needed to be said. And the real message is that it needs to be said. We are treading on dangerous ground. FFS, we just had a CINC spend weeks about ordering US troops to commit an act of treason (attacking a NATO ally would be treason, as a matter of law -- read the Constitution and the treaty). Our troops need to be on heightened alert for orders that violate the law and serve only the regime, because he has indicated repeatedly that he will give such orders.
  18. I guess @ChickenSandwich is still waiting for the MAGA-approved talking points to respond to this one. Just admit that you like it because he's not a "real American," and let's all move on.
  19. Our guess is they make the call one way or the other Friday morning. We'll know by then. If it's on, you know the first drink is on me. Anyway, such social lubrication helps the wives gripe about us that much more energetically.

    1) It will have fewer material differences than NAFTA and the "USMCA" agreement had. 2) Every one of those differences could have been obtained by making a simple request/short discussion, instead of threatening a psychotic war.
  21. Yep. All of that too. So fucking dumb. Wreaking so much destruction and damage for....fucking nothing. We are destroying the most prosperous, powerful nation in the world for....absolutely no fucking reason other than a narcissist needs to prove he is the ONLY reason we are anything (and at every turn, manages to prove the exact opposite). Any of you Cowboys fans who lived through the Jimmy Johnson firing and Jerry Jones' self-appointment as football emperor, lasting to...the present day...should recognize what you're seeing.
  22. We have a party to go to Saturday night, hombre. Or....maybe we don't. We'll see.
