  • Nice sources! Puts things in perspective for me. I really mean that.

    Still doesn’t change the fact that the enemy is at the gates. And has been for decades. And it ain’t America’s gates. Which is not to say, “Not our problem.” It eventually will be our problem.

    Europe has to spin up a war economy. Yesterday. We Americans have the privilege of being able to do that with two oceans buffering us. Europe has no such buffer. Once again, the filthy Russians are knocking.




  • The committee is 5/5, Democrat/Republican. Care to rethink that comment?

    Look, these people are playing a game we barely understand, at a level we can’t comprehend, at stakes we don’t understand.

    Best guess from my dumbass? They let the “hacked leak” do the dirty work. The facts get out, but no one can point a finger at the committee. Bonus: A “leak” won’t be taken as seriously as an official release.

    And as to why Gaetz got busted in the first place? (He was my Congressman, so I’ve been following along closer than most.) He was a rich frat-boy who got into federal office long before he was ready to play. FFS, he was showing his “conquest” fuck pics on the House floor. Dumbass should have learned to play in the state House before he went national. He was a child among wolves, and now they’re eating him.

    Anyway, they’re meeting again on 12/05. Let’s see if they have the balls to release the official report.

    Give me a break. How about the people having kids in:

    • -900,000: Whatever happened to kill off almost all humans
    • -1177: Bronze Age collapse
    • 535: Volcanic winter of 536
    • 1347-1351: Black Death
    • 1914-1918: WWI and Spanish Flu
    • 1929-1939: Great Depression and Dust Bowl
    • 1962: Great Leap Forward
    • 1943-1945: Worst killings and bombings of WWII
    • 2020: For our lifetimes. COVID and 100 other disasters. So bad most have forgotten it started with Australia burning to the ground, 1 billion animals killed.

    As to racism, we watched Mississippi Burning last night. My wife isn’t from America and was horrified. “Honey, that was happening when our parents were kids.”




  • OR, wait for it, it might be because Democrats absolutely suck at winning elections. It might be because no one likes them. And all that might be because they’re total fucking failures at governing.

    “But muh libs have done such wonderful things and the GOP is the devil!”

    SELL it to us then.

    “But LOGIC!”

    No one votes on logic. Sales class, before lunch, “People buy on emotion.”

    Your post is exactly why libs so always fucking lose. Jesus, just say it out loud, “We lost because my pussy hurts!”







  • That’s a reminder to shoot back.

    “I see guys in camo,” O’Shea said. “Four or five of them pop out, open the door and it was just like, ‘Oh s***. I don’t know who you are or what you want with us.’”

    FFS, if unidentified, armed men in paramilitary gear snatch you off the street and your reaction is, “GOSH! What’s happening?! Please don’t hurt me!”, that’s on you, especially after the events of the past 8-years. SHOOT THEM!

    “But I might get in trouble! I might get killed!”

    Yes, you might get killed. And you might be on a fucking train to a concentration camp. FFS, they’re already plotting how to set them up and Steve Bannon is saying, in front of god and everyone, that they’ll need citizen militias to round up illegals.

    Jesus Christ libs, pull your head out of your ass instead of crying for more racist gun control.

    Apparently the “woke” crowd is actually asleep.


  • Huh. Haven’t heard a word. But hell, I’ll take anyone over Gaetz. I keep wanting to ask his supporters, “What exactly has he done for us? Other than make himself the laughing stock of Congress?”

    He did have something great he was pushing for a minute. Something to do with childcare or maternity leave? Can’t remember, but it was something the whole nation really needs. Got real quiet on it, real fast.

    One smart thing he did was STFU before the original court case, which never got off the ground for lack of witnesses, and the before the House investigation. Gosh, the poor man just didn’t have time between scandals to represent us! (Jesus. I just realized that’s what his voters would actually say.)

    In other Gaetz news, I snatch about a dozen yard signs after the election. Pro tip: Bend the wire legs into a U, hang on a rope between trees, receive perfect targets!

    None I’m aware of. Certainly not in Chicago, lived there a couple of years. There’s a half-mile straight run of houses in my neighborhood back home, but that’s unusual and only because it was originally an airstrip.

    A long, straight road like that is going to be zoned commercial, no houses at all. Flip that around and a Hobby Lobby can’t be in a residential zone.
