‘Use grok’ is also one hell of a sign off

Was wondering if anyone else was going to laugh at that but me.

Grammar police. Different agency.

could care less

I'm sure this is all just a misunderstanding, sir. Now, if you could just put your hands behind your back, we'll get this all resolved down at the station.

I'm surprised that you've never been arrested or witnessed anyone being arrested in this country. It's not Dixon of Dock fukking Green.

A lot of people are. Probably most, the cops that arrested me.

lol jfc. for the zillionth time, after Biden broke records for ICE funding every single year, Kamala promised an even greater increase along with the building of tons more prisons. maybe you forgot that you guys ran all of the #AbolishICE people out of the party.

Lol. You must be laughing your ass off while you type out the assertion that Harris would be doing the same thing if she were president. That's a weak troll, bruh.

He denies working for ICE and the administration also denies it. In any other administration, that would be good enough for me. This is the administration that said the chick who was shot was a terrorist and Trump said she ran the ICE officer over, so they've proven that they will lie straight-up with things people can easily verify (and that's two examples of about 300,000 verifiable lies) so I'm not exactly convinced about a claim that no one has the ability to verify.

That said, I won't claim he works for ICE moving forward, though.


by geezerchess

But seriously folks: I've made it clear what I think of these ICE thugs

Better late than never. Congrats.

Better late than never. Congrats.

He's also made it clear that he'd rather have ICE thugs in every city than have Harris as president.

Anyone who voted for Trump in '24 is either an idiot (I had no idea how awful he is!!!) or an ******* (I want all of this to happen!!) There are no other options.

The above admission puts you squarely in the "idiot" category. Congratulations?

I appreciate your congratulations!

Note well that I have freely acknowledged my idiocy several times, including just a few days ago in this very thread:

1. I think there is a 0% chance that the GOP would nominate a so-called Pro-Choice candidate.

2. I think there is also a 0% chance that the Dems would nominate a so-called Pro-Life candidate.

3. I think there is a 50% chance that I didn't understand your question.

4. I think there is a 100% chance that I'm an idiot.

Have a grateful day!

I'm not an idiot. Maybe you can just take my word for it, and I'm a little sad to have to tell you this, but there's no god, there are no souls, there's no heaven or hell, and a zygote is just a cell with no thoughts or feelings and calling its removal murder is ridiculous.

Devote yourself to something else; humanity, animals, liberty, peace? You can still find meaning and purpose in something real.


And I do respect geezer (at least if his story is true - street preacher stuff) more than any of the other Trumper voters who I think follow Trump because of greed and hate and more than most of the non-Trumpers as well. The thing about seeing your neighbor's house on fire and being compelled to rush in to help is an accurate description of a lot of sincerely religious people, they're just wrong about what is and isn't on fire.

Kinda what you'd expect to find in there. Sales tactics like "you'd have to be a fool not to buy" work pretty well.

Come on, surely you can’t be this stupid?

Reminds me of the time as a very young man when two JWs knocked on my door, and being somewhat bored and looking for entertainment I invited them in for tea. Every single objection to religion or the existence of god I raised was “answered “ by one of them thumbing through their bible and pointing out a brief passage from it.

The entertainment didn’t last very long.

Trust me bro is about as convincing an argument coming from an atheist as it is a theist


Yesterday walking the dogs dog is in the middle of the road and guy driving a work van instead of just driving slowly but staying on the road decides to go off onto the shoulder to pass which you can't do here because what looks like it might be level with the road could actually be a two foot deep trench filled with snow, which in this case it was.

And he's like "gotta keep your dogs on a leash"... And I didn't say anything but I helped him dig out and collected sticks and rocks for traction. While doing that he gets on the phone and starts speaking Hebrew and later I was like " was that Hebrew or Russian you were speaking?" And he wanted to know how I knew as if white people are fluently speaking dozens of non Indo-European languages.
Eventually a guy in a truck came and pulled him out using extension cords as tow straps.

Then later yesterday I decided to take my dog into the Frisco Walmart and no one cared and she got lots of compliments.

How do you know no one cared?


How can you not hear the difference between Hebrew and Russian… The phonetics aren’t similar at all.

Have you tried Mercado La Perla? I was in Frisco last year and got takeout from this little gem and it was incredible.

And then everyone clapped.


LB, am I misremembering or isn’t this the second vehicle in the span of a short period that has driven off the road attempting to avoid you?

Not trying to pile on, but, um… you might be the problem in this particular regard

isnt Russian an Indo-Euro language?

I knew it was Hebrew I just threw out a second option for fun mostly. Yes Russian is Slavic which is Indo-European.

Yes although in both instances it's been because the drivers are acting like idiots. There have likely been 50 or so cars between these incidents that have passed by just fine. All they have to do is not drive their vehicles into snow filled ditches and they'll be fine.
