LOCK HER UP!

Wait, I thought we were all supposed to forget all about Donvict’s pedophilia because he bombed Iran, threatens boots on the ground and/or bringing back the draft, and the cost of oil is skyrocketing…

TWO WEEKS. Every time I hear PEDOnald talk about “two weeks”, I think of the joke from The Money Pit, where “two weeks” is a constant refrain. I wonder if PEDOnald has even seen that movie…

I’ve always liked this one…

LOL, so true. I often laugh about the “tea party” and how it’s not really a thing, and then I’m immediately reminded of how the “Green Party” is not much more of a serious thing, either. Other than being seriously used to monkey-wrench this country and give more power to Republicans…

Ms. Graham seems to be creaming his jeans over this stuff.

ICE should be disbanded and anyone responsible for this kind of thing should be arrested.

I’d love to see Democrats running on that for 2026 elections.

Yeah, quite a bit of really good optimizations and stability were done by Sun, now Oracle. The GraalVM stuff is especially interesting…

I’m no fan of Ellison or Oracle; I wish Sun was not acquired by Oracle. Ellison being Ellison, they really really tried to monetize Java the language/platform for some reason.

Oh fuck. This is going to really, really hurt.

And for people that might be gloating about it: it’s likely to hurt the very most for the people not in the upper 1% of 1%.

I’m thinking the magatards who cannot even remember what they said they stood for yesterday have permanent erections from things like: fighting “woke”, crushing any remaining dissent in media and entertainment, bombing fishing boats, starting a war with Iran, threatening most of our allies, and most of all, kidnapping and disappearing brown people while shooting protesters.

Will it do them any good at all? Nope. If they were living in a trailer and eking out a miserable existence before, they still will be. It will most likely be even more miserable since things like food and health have been ripped away from many Americans. But at least they get to whoop it up over breaking the country and making others’ lives miserable.

Exactly. W won a second term largely due to 9/11, I’d wager. He started off as extremely divisive and polarizing. Most people were at least deeply sus of him, if not considering him entirely illegitimate. The economy starts to implode.

Fast forward a few months, 9/11 happens, and most of the Murc’s Law Media is falling all over themselves to prostrate before W. People acting like not voting for Republicans is not supporting the troops, or whatever the fuck.

Without 9/11, I don’t see how that guy would have had a second term.

I could easily see a repeat here if there was some big terrorist event that they could blame on Iran. The real blame should lie with Pedonald and his maladministration for attacking Iran and doing a shit job on security here, but we have way too many idiots in this country that operate like windsocks.

Every time diaper donnie talks about golf, I think of this story. It was relevant in his first failed term, now that he’s gone completely unchained in his second failed term, especially when we see his cabinet “meetings” and the way he holds pressers in front of a compliant media, all the more so…

But in the 1990s - another moment in time when an event in North Korea varies (some say it happened in 1991 and others in 1994), the late dictator, then 50 (or 53) years old, set a golfing standard that will assuredly never be surpassed. It occurred at the grand opening of the Pyongyang Golf Complex, which contains North Korea’s only 18-hole golf course.

After picking up a golf club that day for the very first time in his life, the Dear Leader of the Democratic People’s Republic of North Korea fired a 38-under-par round of 34 at Pyongyang. According to the 17 security guards who observed the performance, the score included an amazing 11 aces. Naturally, the event was dutifully reported to the North Korean masses by the state news agency.

Cool, so while dimbulb donnie is invading other countries for no fucking reason and Stephen Miller is giving absurd quotas of brown people to kidnap and throw in concentration camps and/or extreme rendition, they are increasing the danger to all Americans on top of that?

Even reading this in the early 00s was kinda wild when it came to some of the talk of house prices. Most of the principles still hold, though, especially when it comes to deferring gratitude and so on.

The notion of moving somewhere low-cost is probably more relevant than ever, though, given the idea of remote work having been broken wide open because of Covid. Prior to that, most companies viewed it as something slightly scandalous to even ask about.

So tired of the winning.

Yes, that’s so true. I remember coming into a small amount of money and had been saving a little bit, and had just paid off a ridiculously long car loan on a used car - still one of the dumbest financial decisions I had made in my youth - 5.5 years on a used car, WTF was I even thinking, LOL.

Anyway, I was itching to buy some new car possibly, as I had never bought new. Someone handed me a book about finances and the author reiterated what my parents had always tried to drill into my head - about the only worthwhile debt is real estate.

For cars, he had this notion of “paying yourself” the car payment once you pay off a car. Do that for many years, and use that savings for your next car, preferably used, about 2 or 3 years old, after which the depreciation has had the steepest drop.

So I skipped buying something new or used. For so many reasons, I am glad my co-worker lent me that book at that particular time.

HOLY SHIT.

84 months!

We are going to continue to drive our 16 year old car and 8 year old car around for a while longer, I hope. I cannot imagine paying for a car for 7 years, damn.

Oh, I’m quite sure the Nat C’s would find ways to be destructive without the help of the zionists.
