All Activity

It's like watching a gambling addict blow their paycheck. Everything he does is something he's complained or criticized other people for doing, or wanting to do. It's never *HIS* fault, it's always somebody else.

Mumbling, bumbling, stumbling.

Thank you, this is super helpful and informative!

Chillin at the Elbo Room, parade starts in about a half hour. Happy Sunday!

I've been in LA a few days. Literally nothing is going on that indicated there was anything close to an insurrection. I've barely seen any police either. This whole thing was overblown.

Really nothing worse than that guy who: I hate this place I’m gonna leave…. my friends left it’s better over there…. i could leave and get citizenship somewhere else… given all these things just doesn’t leave. You are like the guy who is always quitting his job. Complains all day at work. Drags everyone down with them…… but just doesn’t quit. Just leave.

Europe has experienced more terrorist attacks than the United States in recent years. Comparative Overview Europe: In 2023, the European Union reported 120 failed, foiled, or completed terrorist attacks, a significant increase from 28 in the previous year. These incidents encompassed various motivations, including jihadist, right-wing, left-wing, and separatist ideologies. United States: the U.S. has faced fewer terrorist attacks compared to Europe.

Even before all of this it's something we wanted to do. I have friends who left the US to go and they have a better quality of life there. There is also very little chance of a terrorist attack, and a lot more things that make the move there and attractive option. Not to mention my wife's family has zero intention or interest in moving to America. So we'd be closer to them. I also have cousins who live in Europe who are citizens of both EU and non EU countries, and are intending to stay there and not return to the US. I have minimal ties here too. Most of my family around me is deceased, and I am adaptable with work. There's definitely trade offs but I feel that my physical and mental health would be better there, among other reasons. One of my friends who lives in the area we're looking at, I've known him since high school and I asked him what the biggest culture shock was, and he told me it was realizing how awful living in America was by comparison.

I thought the PSU wrestling theme song was:

More legal troubles, and apparently not wanting to fight Aspinal. https://www.abqjournal.com/sports/article_2bd78914-e533-4711-b153-0169eb9a3500.html

The middle of the chorus should be sung to recruits by Mike Grey, Chris Ayres, and a few others.

Good.

Day after you leave for Ukraine

Don’t. Give. Away. Personal. Info. Hey, I’m a Plow boy from MN

We don't always have to agree. Just need to be civil about it. This is America.

I guess the goalposts are on the moon now.

Trip...we're like...90% in agreement on this... but I really hate this 'I'm leaving" crap. Our Founders had to fight...lining up, waiting to get shot, knowing when they did, they'd saw that limb off. The Civil War, the Soldiers at Andersonville had to pick through their own crap for pieces of corn so they have something for their next meal. Finally, these Islamic Fundamentalists don't care if it's you. It's actually harder to get to you in the US.... so they're as likely to attack Europe. And if you're worried about the mainland, go watch Chinese propaganda, look at the MOST AMAZING things they've got, the things that look like they're out of Sci-fi, the hypersonic Missiles and the Naval Vessels, the submarines, and then keep in mind, the Pentagon talks in open committee about how the Chinese are going to pass us up...we need to increase that Military Budget 10%! And then you find out, that amazing new piece of evidence is already antiquated in the US. Kinda like the F-117 Stealth that was created in '77, deny we have it...and then in 1990, we say, 'yeah, we had that, but we're retiring the old Nighthawk. What's more, if it's the leadership you disagree with, that's an even worse reason to leave. Just take it two years at a time. Trump's approval rating is at an all-time low in modern history for a President this early in and the leading contender is...Donald Trump Jr. He is NOT the original thing. MAGA is Trump and only Trump. Things will get better(even if I don't quite agree with you on this one subject).

I always do! You just don't always agree with them!

Sadly, his past statement probably isn't applicable in this scenario I bet they wouldn't take Scout. Though.... they DO like people who are incapable of independent thought and get all their news from X, don't question things and already decide what's right before knowing what they're arguing about(what I'm describing is...stoopid). We're not going to War, but you gotta list me thought reasons. A-You'd..assume... (which is dubious in and of itself with Trump, the guy with the non-Nazi-Nazi-tattoos and the intelligence committee that said Iran was making no attempt to develop Nuclear Weapons and our Nations GREATEST DEI hire, Tulsi Gabbard(I don't actually know if she was DEI, I just noticed if they're not a white man, you can reduce them to DEI) that it'd be VERY few boots on the ground and more us supporting the Cown Prince's claim to the throne. You already have a majority of Iranians who want a different form of non-theocratic Government. B-Unlike Iraq or Afghanistan, this would GREATLY shift the balance in the Middle East and maybe so many of the most powerful countries there wouldn't be so...GD regressive. Treating Women as property (which stopped being cool here like 160 years ago). But it'd also GREATLY reduce the terrorists activity in that Country, and while it's a LOONG shot, if you could get a more secular Govt in there, just as you have when the Shah was in power, it'd change the world more than any countries 'regime change' since the Soviet Union fell...short lived though that may have been. So you fund the rebels, you start to trot out Pahlavi, you maybe...set up Starlink over Iran... It's incredibly unlikely, but it'd be a MASSIVE boon to lasting peace. Nobody wants this to continue. Though...again, I was told there'd "be no wars with Trump."

You made Some very good points big guy.

This is not even dog whistle antisemitism. People were saying the same nonsense when Biden was funding Israel. Please stop identifying everything as "oppressed and oppressor." Israel isn't TRYING to oppress Palestine (well, they weren't, now they're just kicking ass in Gaza because they just never stop). The Palestinians have been given AMPLE opportunity for peace. They've not once negotiated in good faith. Israel pulled out of in 2005 and their GDP was growing at 4-5% per year(so good economic growth). They got more aid per capita than anywhere in the world. I wonder what Palestine would look like if... they just put that money toward the people rather than building on the underground tunnel system and building military bases in schools and hospitals? But they didn't. And sadly, as Oct7th approached, more and more Palestinians were in favor of peace. Israel was building hospitals, but you're goddamn right they still had strong borders and blockades. But if you're going to ask why Israel, the Country that's been attacked since the ENGLISH Mandate, had strict check points and borders, lets ask why Egypt did as well? But in the end, aside from aside from "Nettanyahoos," being a childish retort and similar to Scout/Jimmy's "libtardods" line...what you're really saying is, "The Jews are controlling us." You really think the US is doing something that's NOT in it's own best interest? And they've been doing this since Carter? C'mon...

Citing an agreement Iran was adhering to before Trump pulled out of it for...no rational reason...seems foolish. I don't agree. Iran may try and use terrorists to detonate a dirty bomb in the US, but Enriching Uranium to the point where you can make Nuclear Weapons...and THEN finding a delivery source that the United States won't just be able to shoot out of the sky is a taller order now. It's going to be... quite a bit more difficult in the future with artificial intelligence. No, if they could build a nuclear weapons, they'd go after Israel. On top of wishing all Jews would return to Israel as it's be easier to kill them all, Hamas leader said the following; “All of you 7 million Palestinians abroad… you have Jews everywhere. You should attack every Jew possible in all the world and kill them.” cufi.org Since the 1980s they've been years. Since the early 90s, it's been mostly Months.

I’m just glad we have this guy in a key counter-terrorism role. Meritocracy, baby https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/article/maga-loyalist-22-gets-big-dhs-counter-terror-job-20363900.php
