I’ve often had conversations with preppers, asking them questions, basically asking them if they are ready to ultimately become farmers. Very few seem to have really gamed things out beyond having bullets and some MREs or whatever. That might be helpful in very short-term types of scenarios, I guess?

They say they’d hit the local Costco or grocery store or whatever when they are running low.

LOL, have they even seen what happens when a power outage hits an area even for a few days? Even if one has zero morals applied to anyone outside one’s immediate family and start raiding houses and businesses for food - do these people think no one else is going to be doing this? All grocery stores will be cleared out in short order, without question.

SMH.

I once did a workstudy job where we did data entry of the results of surveys.

The survey clearly said just fill out these bubbles, etc., and that it was basically a multiple choice thing. No comments would end up in the results. Something you would think any idiot would understand.

And yet, you’d sometimes get entire manifestos written in the white spaces between questions, and the margins. I think at the time, OBE (outcome based education) was something that had the conservatives all outraged for whatever reason, because there were several screeds about it.

My coworkers and I got a good laugh out of some of this, that’s for sure. The best was when they wrote their screed, mailed it in, and didn’t fill out any of the questions. LOL!

And yeah, for all that did, they might as well as got out the crayons and drew a dong on it…

Well, if we keep electing Republicans, it’s nearly a self-fulfilling prophecy.

When this happens in any other industry, you raise wages until the labor market appreciates your job offer.

Eh, maybe. H1-B has been used to artificially hold down IT wages for decades now.

While they are crowing about how great it is to pay more for everything right now, ask them how those doge refund checks or the tariff refund checks are working out for them.

Yep. I kept asking which “Biden policies” caused the things these sisterfuckers were constantly bitching about.

I never got anything close to a cogent answer. Complaining about “Bidenflation” or nebulous “Biden policies” is just something the brainless repeat like mindless zombies much akin to “Alinsky-style tactics” or talk about “Chicago politics” or chatter about something being supported by Soros.

If you ask someone saying these things even the most basic of questions like asking them to define what they are talking about or provide examples, etc…you’ll usually get a response like that dogedumbass did when asked to define DEI - it looks like they are frozen while rebooting in hopes of getting a firmware update that will have the answer…

Meanwhile, anyone with a brain can draw a direct line between PEDOnald’s illegal activities (tariffs and wars of choice) and the cost of everything around us and these stupid yokels will now tell you how fantastic that is.

LOL, like I’ve always said, “maga” is a nonsense baby word and they have zero principles.

It’s just a fucking cult of personality.

Also: not just elderly men, sadly.

The whole bathroom obsession just before Donvict was “elected” the first time was just so fucking weird, and has not really let up.

These people supposedly so concerned about it often tell on themselves so hard - they say something like “I’m gonna throw on a wig and a dress and say I identify as a woman so I can go into the women’s bathroom!” Practically giddy about it, partly because they think everyone else should find it a real heckuva kneeslapper.

Seriously, I know two teabaggers/magameatheads who have said that, nearly verbatim. Both times I looked at them and asked just why the fuck would you want to be in there? They don’t seem to even realize that they are telling on themselves. Most people don’t say such things because they don’t want to be creeping around ogling women relieving themselves?

I admire the female form as much as any hetero man, but ogling women in the bathroom? I cannot think of a location less sexually appealing than a restroom. Couple that with the fact that it’s not like an adults-only thing, JFC.

Haha! Millersburg, PA. Memories.

I’m waiting for her to start citing instances of jaywalking from her little burn book there.

I wonder if the average asshole PEDOnald supporter ever even notices how often his administration is being blocked by judges and asks themselves just why that is.

Christ, the nerve of this felon.

The guy is simultaneously doing things that seem to have the intent of breaking up NATO, and he’s doing all this stupid saber-rattling at China.

And now he is making “demands” of them?

JFC.

“Poll tax? I love it!”

– Cons

LOL, of course they did.

Everything about this stupid hack and his administration is total clown shoes.

good

Just because one asshole snaked his way into office and brought this crank in with him doesn’t mean that all of science should be cast aside without any checks or balances.

LOL, retiring.

Just what are the issues that matter most to conservatives?

Men in women’s sports? Deporting all the brown people? Starting multiple wars and assassinating foreign leaders? Taxing Americans with regressive taxes to push away our allies? Destroying NATO? Ballrooms? Arches? That pedophile’s name being smeared onto buildings? His visage on Mt. Rushmore and on coins?

The conservatives are entirely unserious people.

Spoiler alert: She and Blondi BOTH lied under oath.

Christ, what a total dumbass.

Seriously, if someone wrote this kind of narrative for a movie, people would think it was just a bit over the top for how one person so stupid and unqualified could make it into the highest office in the land.

And yet, here we are.
