    And now

    I suppose if they mine the Straits of Hormuz the price of oil might go up, might there be a few beneficiaries in that space? I don't think Russia uses the Straits. We do to ship gas to India, I think, but I will never believe this was anything more than dick swinging by President Hurt Feelings.
  2. Speaking of idiots. The poor Trump voting dears can't make it without subsidies and medicaid and those darn American workers quit after a few hours, too! https://www.rawstory.com/trump-farmers-2672410822/ Also, I just love it that there is a Kremlin, Oklahoma. Dennis Schoenhals stands as a combine harvester is used on wheat in a field at his farm in Kremlin, Oklahoma, U.S., June 12, 2025.
  3. Well there is that whole preponderance of the evidence thing we use for everything else. Sure, for the feels, but beliefs can be a predictor of behaviors. If I were to tell you that someone set off an explosive vest on a bus or someone else shot a doctor in a parking basement you wouldn't take long in correctly guessing their religions or certain features of the victims beliefs. Good on you, but totally beside the point, too, especially knowing that most people haven't the slightest clue how the nature of existence lies in complete conflict with the stories they've been told and come to believe as, well, the Gospel.
  4. I don't think most folks learn to be Trans or Black nor do they have later options. They also don't have a text that offers guidance and penalties for certain behaviors.
  5. Sure, it’s the right thing to do because your mom might cuff you. I hear you but I’m saying my point is intact in strict comparison.
  6. Seriously, you have to admit that those who do nice things under threat of damnation, and those are always selective nice things, aren't in any way equal to those who do nice things because their personal moral compass so guides them, no deity required.
  7. A tale of two dogs, one a pleasant little fellow who aims to please and does what you want without effort and the other who seems to be a constant exercise in aversion therapy: they ain't the same dogs.
  8. First Americane of the season? Sweet, that'll show 'em whose boss. Maybe now that the storms are American made they should charge us a tariff on arrival.

    Trump

    Absolutely true. In fact a bunker busting bomb was dropped on EPA Headquarters today at 4:00AM TST (Taco Standard Time).
  10. Keith, your "like" of this post can be misread.
  11. Yes, I know. But of those professional types I'm guessing that most didn't donate millions to Trump or sponsor his miserable parade as did these guys and their companies.
  12. Welcome back. Let me get you caught up, he's just doing a deal and then they'll all turn around and go home.
  13. Are white women in the Military as Trumpy by percentage as those in civilian life? Are there more "Christians" by percentage in our military, as it so seems? Whatever is going on it seems wrong and dangerous to me that our military doesn't more directly represent the general population. Maybe you know this, but it will probably chap your ass after giving so much of your life to being an officer, but the Army is now offering direct commissions as lieutenant colonel to tech bros who donated to Trump so they can play Army in their spare time. https://www.usar.army.mil/Locate-a-Reserve-Unit/How-to-Join/Direct-Commission/ First up are : Andrew Bosworth, CTO of Meta; Shyam Sankar, CTO Palantir; Kevin Weil, CPO of OpenAI; and Bob McGrew, OpenAI’s former research chief and current advisor to Thinking Machines Lab.
  14. They are as blinded to reality as all second time Trump voters, hence the ease with which Trump can use them as witting tools. https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/09/30/military-veterans-remain-a-republican-group-backing-trump-over-harris-by-wide-margin/

    Trump

    He believes in clicks, eyeballs, and animating his MAGA base to stay in office. Like the rest of the Autocracy Party good governance and the continuation of Democracy in America are far, far down the list of concerns.
  16. Oh, goodie! Because his silly parade didn't show him to be the tough guy he's not, he is now demanding the evacuation of Tehran, flying a wing of re-fuelers to the middle east, and admitting it was us and our technology that gave Israel the advantage in battle just after denying the same like yesterday. He is insane by any way of measuring insanity.

    Trump

    The problem is that it's what Lee and other R's truly believe. They say it out loud as if it's an immutable truth. It's time to cease calling it the Republican Party. Instead they should be known as the Autocracy Party. The media needs to adopt the change to get it snowballing.
  18. Yes, I was just thinking if we broadened out our time frames a few 10's of millions of years things wouldn't seem so dire.

    That's a very nice saying and inspirational, too. I like: to make a point they understand you my first gain their attention by kicking them in the nuts.

    Trump

    My point is that we need to refrain from self back patting and straw grasping over these demonstrations. It's a great start, sure, but comparing the crowds to Trumps parade crowd is as fruitless as when we compared his inauguration crowd to Obama's. He's back. We need way more than a small percentage of non-Trump voters showing up one day out of 365 to get any message to Republicans.

    Trump

    He wasn't aware he was the TACO president until a reporter told him. His manipulative inner circle, who are actually running policy, just keep his fat ass well patted while they achieve their awful objectives.
  22. You mean ever as in since there were people?

    Trump

    Governor Pritzker openly encouraged protest and Chicago, Illinois is blue and has a fond history of protest to support No Kings. Do you think there was a single No Kings assembly that would give Trump second thoughts? He doesn't even have first thoughts.
