I figured he was a better, more carefully thought out foreign account than onelumpofs*&^ given his incessant invocation of AIPAC and smearing of Dems.

If not foreign, at least a dishonest domestic account intentionally spreading biased, divisive rhetoric.

They're battered spouses who can't imagine life without the one they love. I don't know of any other way to characterize it.

#41 | Posted by madbomber

Nah, not spouses. Trump isn't committed to them or even that interested in their existence.

They're more like those women in small towns who bounce around from guy to guy getting constantly misused and abused by each. Trump is just the one who finally said "I love you" and let them move in but only for his own specific, malevolent purposes knowing their past as abused SOs would make them supremely malleable and willing to hang around if the right things are said.

At this point they're suffering from learned helplessness and just want everyone else to be as miserable, bitter and empty as they are.

I'm still convinced that IF civil strife happens, it's got a 98% chance of being started by MAGA because either a. they get violently angry when things get so bad they snap out of it and lash out or b. they're so beholden to Trump they react violently when everyone else finally stops humoring them or treats them with the scorn they deserve as things fall apart.

Nah you need to drip more thinly veiled antisemitic feel like calling Jews "pod people" and framing their activities as an "invasion."

Then link some peripherally associated US politician with an AIPAC Tracker showing they received a whole $14,589 in likely unsolicited or unknown blanket donations.

Then finish with FUNNY to mock those rightfully calling out the ridiculousness of one's posting.

That long? I feel like that's longer than I would have guessed, but I'm also not that into the restaurant business analytics.

Yeah, but what about AIPAC?

If your food is not good, you don't last long.

This is often true even if it is good.

What's the average time a restaurant lasts? A year or two?

You would know about choking on Big Macks, you lot lizard.

Go step into traffic you worthless piece of s*&^.

I know they hate the word, but that's because people rarely own or accept a highly negative descriptor of themselves unless they're really unabashedly it.

For instance, only a true woman hater would own the description of a misogynist, a true supremacist the term racist ect ect. Because hating those groups is actually part of their identity.

The funny thing is that they're as much a cultist as their identity as those people are haters of women or minorities. They just refuse to admit it or see it.

Take fistedp^$$&, the level of trust and adoration it takes to say the stuff he says about Trump is absurd. Any rational actor by this point knows he's incompetent or simply kicking up dust to cover for his illicit activities going on behind the scenes. There is no goal to reach, let alone to be reached in some distant undefined future.

I would be genuinely surprised if that analysis wasn't already done repeatedly. My wife is in education administration and there's constant assessments of outcomes and system success/failure being done.

I think a major output would be general economic health. There doesn't seem to be any economic indicators that I'm aware of to suggest European countries who utilize such a system are suffering economically from it. They certainly don't suffer from a more unhappy populace.

But then again, that might be because they don't place so much of their persona in their work. Work is simply a transaction to make money.

That doesn't surprise me.

A few weeks after I moved to Houston, Hurricane Rita put the gulf coast in her crosshairs. When preparing for it, I noticed that the vast majority of stuff at the store that disappeared weren't very well thought out as most of it required refrigeration or components that were perishable (ie milk). The only thing that went quick that was good no matter what was the case after case of bottled water people snapped up.

That got me thinking about preparedness and going through Ike a few years later set me on the road to being prepper lite. Having lived in disaster prone areas for the last 20+ years was always facepalm worthy when things happened.

There should be ample data to confirm or rebut your assertion. Does the system work in countries where it is enacted?

If I could have made the quotes size 50 font, I would have.

However, they are unfortunately in charge and, therefore, occupy leadership positions or roles.

It's been a while, but I seem to recall that stupidity didn't play any part in the last "toilet paper stampede." It was because gas prices practically called a halt to vacation traveling in the U.S. and the toilet paper industry was caught flat footed when hotels and motels cut their orders to the bone, leaving the industry with warehouses overstocked to the rafters with hotel/motel product and no room to stock the over demand from retail stores.

None of these people were stupid. They were panic stricken.

Ummmm no.

It was stupidity. It was people who didn't know how to prepare suddenly being confronted with a situation where preparation was needed (the pandemic).

Most people are clueless on how to be prepared for natural disasters/unrest/utility cuts ect. Instead of rice, beans, lentils, canned goods, jarred goods ect, they grabbed what seemed "important" in their unprepared minds - toilet paper.

It was pure, unprepared panic.

F*&^ off, s*&^bag.

Mackenzie's campaign manager claimed Brooks has "all the hallmarks of a common criminal".

Welp, that means if one digs a little deeper they'll find this true of Mackenzie. Republicans can't help but project their own shortcomings onto opponents.

Why RCade and Retort allow trolls to fester on drudge.com is anyone's guess.

Hey s*&^bag, you know this applies to you, right?

#4 | Posted by C0RI0LANUS

I can't believe rcade lets this antisemitic piece of s*&^ constantly post his nonsense here.

Probably one of the outcomes Putin desired.

Trump didn't flat out dismantle alliances fast enough so Putin pushed him and that worthless turd Hegseth into a conflict to achieve the next best thing - make us strategically and logistically neutered so that our alliances are reduced in capabilities.

Again, if Trump wasn't or isn't a foreign agent tasked with destroying the United States, he's oddly good at achieving those ends anyway.

STFU moron.

I saw this claim making the rounds on MAHA and anti-vaxx social media groups.

I figured a clarification would be coming soon to show RFK was/is, as usual, completely full of dishonest s*&^.

-Under state law, PA DOH is not required to report deaths to coroners," Bogen added.

I guess I didn't know that wasn't a requirement everywhere.

#4 | Posted by eberly

I guess I take that to mean DOH doesn't report them, just investigate them when necessary. I'd imagine reporting requirements would be for the agency issuing the death certificate, ie hospital, assisted living facility ect.

Onelumpofs*&^ likes to act like he has these deep, insightful opinions and understandings of things when in reality he's just the Miss Cleo of the DR. Something happens and his response is 'yeah, I knew that was coming, duhhhhh LuMpErZ!".

Meanwhile, everything else he says is laughable wrong.

And as of oil prices if we didn't drill more they would be double.

#11 | Posted by fishpaw

LOL this f*&^ing idiot is delusional. Nothing he says or thinks is remotely reflected in reality.

Oil companies haven't been drilling, idiot.

And production throughout the Biden years was at record levels.

The only reason prices aren't "doubled" is because Trump gave away our strategic reserve to save his political skin.

You and your ilk have irrevocably broken the United States.

That's the left, politics over country. They moaned and groaned about not getting intel ahead of time because they couldn't leak it to Iran leadership so we would get soldier's killed just so they could blame it on Trump.

#9 | Posted by fishpaw

I'm at the point where the only thing I can hope for at this point is as rapid a loss of this segment of the population as possible.

This idiot is so fantastically, moronically, ridiculously, absurdly over the top stupid that the only thing that will save us from people like him is for them to not be around anymore.

He's never going to get it. He's never going to magically be unstupid.

The only option is he stops wasting good oxygen to produce ------ like this.

Maybe when Trump finally chokes on a Big Mac they'll show ear diaper-like solidarity by choking on one as well.

I like how Liberals chirp that Iran is stronger than ever.

You can't even accurately paraphrase something.

It's as strong as it was, the balance has just shifted because the counterweight is no longer there.

If reporting is accurate, US military capabilities in the ME are essentially gone. Iran has the global economy by the balls and unstable, impulsive "leadership" in the US has fractured if not shattered alliances that were the core of the counterweight.

The sadder part is that is what they want.

Gotta love that projection. The only people acting as if their preferred but obviously false narrative is reality are MAGA morons like you, s*&^heap. You're too f*&^ing stupid to know your s*&^ worldview has broken our world and too f*&^ing cowardly to admit it even if you could grasp it.

Never mind that their military is gone as well as their economy.

Their military is quite obviously not gone. But thanks for your dutiful repetition of the slop your consume as "news" that comes straight from Trump handler's mouths.

The miscalculation that this administration made was thinking right after the first invasion that the people of Iran would rise up and take over. It will happen but obviously will take longer than expected.

#5 | Posted by fishpaw

As always, MAGA idiots like you will refuse to see the gross incompetence that is right before your eyes. You'll cling to "it's just over the horizon" for the next three years, if not longer.

But here's the sad truth, dumbf*&^, it's not just over any horizon. This mess won't be fixed until someone else takes power and dumb f*&^ing morons like you will blame that person to spare your spray tanned calf the humiliation he deserves.

This is some of the stupidest ---- I've ever heard.

#4 | Posted by lfthndthrds

Which means it's probably spot on.

"But we got the 140 gosh-darned Israeli hostages home, dadgummit!"

F*&^ off you stupid piece of s*&^.

No s*&^, did anyone really need to be told that by an "intelligence assessment"?

I wouldn't be surprised if this entire Iran War was pushed by Putin as our Ukraine.

Expend our munitions, highlight the deficiencies in our capabilities a la modern drone warfare and isolate us internationally.

Russia is certainly getting what it paid for to elect Trump.

These are all toothless threats now.

So, we either have people in charge of things like the CIA who don't know the basics of what's going on, or we have absurd theater going on meant to hide the real machinations going on behind the scenes.

I'll be watching for denials from the administration in the coming days to tell me what really happened at this meeting.

Have you noticed you're a stupid piece of s*&^?

Why does lamp respond to his own posts as if he isn't the one posting them?
