Re : Sinistar

I’m restoring one of those ... just got the boards up and running ... “RUN COWARD!!!!” :-). With it warming up, I should be able to get the cabinet done very soon.

I find as I get older, I am loving many games that used to slaughter me ... I have fallen in love with Defender and Robotron (always liked them, but have really gotten into them lately). I am getting better at Tempest. Only other one I want to master before I drop dead is Star Wars (the ‘83 Atari one ... not any of that junk that’s been released since :-) ).

Same goes with pinball ... many seemed to not like Steve Ritchie’s take on Star Wars ... I love it ... it’s frigging HARD, but when you blow up the Death Star, you *really* feel like you pulled off one hell of a stunt! :-)

Sorry for going off topic everyone else :-).

Wait until they learn it was Keith Richards that painted those during the later days of his young adult years.

“Thailand?”

That day was way too funny. That was back in 2005 or 06 IIRC.

“will be every day in a courtroom in Washington D.C. and not campaigning against Joe Biden,”

The bloated pig says that knowing damn well its all by design. I despise these people.

“I sort of like the sound of the Salt Lake City Brewers. It’s almost as good as the Utah Jazz.”

The Brewers moved to Salt Lake City where they don’t allow beer.

The Jazz moved to Utah where they don’t allow music. :-)

“Trump was a great president but he can’t win the 5 or so swing states. And that is all that matter.”

There isn’t a single R that can win the “5 or so swing states” ASIDE from Trump. DeSantis, Christie, Pence, and the rest of the candidates will be destroyed in PA, WI, MI, GA, and AZ. Nobody wants a milquetoast Republican like those listed to fight against the Rat filth! (DeSantis, if under the spell of Karl Rove & the Bush philosophy, will not preside as a conservative ... conservatives have been fooled way too many times to buy into Rove/Bush garbage).

Trump is the only one that has shown that he can win in those states.

The only things Rats have going for them are fraud related.

Quit buying media bullshit ... please!

Ah ... Abby Normal ... I knew her ... :-P

“Doesn’t cauldra really mean big f@#$%^& volcano?”

Sort of ... caldera means that the ‘volcano’ itself is more of a crater (convex) than it is a big ass zit popping up out of the ground (concave) ... at least I think ... I am too lazy to look it up, but I’m pretty sure that’s the case.

I think Yellowstone is technically a ‘caldera’ ... don’t quote me on that though :-) ... but I think it’s merely semantics.

Swamp gas.

“moooochelle”

She’s too lazy. The bitch thinks the ceremony to fold a United States flag is too much work.

If they launch another “pandemic” and insure that nobody can campaign again, then she *might* find that an acceptable means to get her entitled, lard ass and giant peni.... , uh, well, you know what else she’s packing, back into the White Hut. I’m sure Sharia and Malaria will be happy to help too!

Seems like Stacey is going to be a mainstay in GA like Robert O’Rourke, the Irishman that identifies as a Mexican, is going to be a mainstay in TX.

I wonder if we’d even know about these protests and lockdowns if it weren’t for Twitter being seemingly liberated.

I know we’d get news from various other sources, but it’s kind of strange that China is being exposed on a world-wide, mainstream media outlet. Not many people know about what’s going on there.

“Government math:
...
And this makes sense because?”

Math is racist. Why do you think Government Math exists? Sheesh! /s

Gotta hand it to Democrats ... they really make something out of their coattail riders ... she’s up there with Hillary Clinton in terms of the whole “I will control you even though I was not elected” hubris these newcomer leftists spew as they arrive in DC.

“Have you ever mentored someone?”

I’ve mentored 3 people throughout my career. I have about 10-15 years to go before retirement. I’m sure there will be another poor bastard I’ll have to shape into myself :-P :-).
They’re doing well, but all of their success is based on their own accomplishments ... I just taught them the fundamentals and little things I’ve picked up over the years to successfully design the “stuff” I make :-).

If one of them were talking to scum like Karl Rove and Jeb Bush about career advancement, I would do *exactly* what Trump did to DeSantis. I know what happens to people that listen to them ... they fail ... miserably ... since they’re working for THEM and not us.

If anything, I think DeSantis will look back on that spat and view it as a great lesson from Trump. If Trump *didn’t* care about DeSantis, he would have kept his mouth shut.

We had 16+ years of idiots like Rove and Co. being the sole “kingmakers” in the R party since 2000. They have to go away. Either go away or restrict their activities to solid blue states with RINO candidates that have a shot (i.e. stay in CA, IL, and NY).

RINO strategy is nothing but reactive, short term thinking and has been a disaster for this country. They seem to think that “whack a mole” is a great strategy for the Rs (i.e. focus on one area, win it, but ignore every other area in the country that is “Too Blue” ... that kind of thinking would have killed any of their candidates in 2016 and lets certain areas slip further and further into the blue sickness).

I think DeSantis would be a in a much stronger position finishing his term in Florida and running a POTUS campaign in 2028 on his terms ... not Rove’s or Jeb!’s or Trump’s for that matter. There is absolutely no way DeSantis can run in 2024 w/o the help of idiot RINOs with Trump running.

I could certainly be wrong of course ... nothing is certain in life except death and taxes. I simply don’t trust any of the characters from the early 00s ... to put it bluntly, they are degenerate, backstabbing scum when it comes to conservatism and are basically liberals with a war fetish. I do NOT believe Ron Desantis is a RINO ... but teaming up with those freaks doesn’t leave me with a warm/fuzzy feeling.

Finally, if I am wrong and DeSantis does in fact team up with people not aligned with the neocons, I’ll certainly change my tune and will give DeSantis more serious consideration for a 2024 run. I like Trump, but I want what’s best for our country ... if that’s Ron in 2024, I’ll be there.

(no matter how many times I look at your name, I still see “cbgb” :-) .

“Bush was very wise and Presidential”

I will concede that I almost projectile vomited when I typed that ... ;-). That’s all I will say about that :-) .

“The problem is that President Trump is doing a good enough job dividing Republicans all by himself—with his own words.”

So I guess Trump should have just lied back and take the criticism from the media the other night? He should have let all of those RINOs destroy him just because they were fawning over DeSantis and were crucifying Trump at the same time?

Exactly how would keeping his mouth shut been a good thing?

Keep in mind most of the mainstream GOP was behind that Trump attack on election night ... how in the hell is this all Trump’s fault? How is he splitting the party by defending himself and setting the record straight on the rise of Ron? Is he “bad orange man” for fighting back???

Using that awesome Rove/Bush “keep your mouth shut” ‘strategery’ they employed from 2005 onward all but handed the House, Senate, and WH (along with Colorado, New Mexico, and Virginia) to the Rats (while the Rats were being led by a Kenyan mind you) ... W Bush set conservatism BACK ... he did nothing to advance it ... and Rove was the advisor that let that happen.

Of course, the GOPe cozying up with RINOs didn’t stop there ... in 2008, John McCain (a campaign managed by people who DESPISE Trump) claimed that “there is nothing to fear about an Obama Presidency” about 4 weeks before he lost. Is that more of the same kind of GOP strategy we should be employing these days? Supporting the Rats? Being good statesmen when deranged psychopaths are attempting to take over is the proper way to proceed?

Or, how about the awesome Mitt Romney ... a man that is an incredible and viscous campaigner ... only when he’s campaigning against Republicans (especially “non-severe” conservatives, unlike him who claimed he was a “severe conservative with binders full of women).

However, when he campaigned against Obama, he basically did his job in one debate, then decided to check out since he did too well making America’s sweetheart, poor Kenyan prince look like a doddering retard. He basically gave Obama a month to recover from that disaster (Romney did nothing all while Benghazi was going on). Again, another milquetoast GOP candidate brought to you by the right wing media talking heads and campaign managers.

So, that’s a Presidency and two Presidential campaigns run by the *exact* same people that are approaching Ron DeSantis to run in 2024. These are the same people that are all excited about various Rs in the Senate defecting to pass “codified gay marriage”. Is this the mindset you want running Ron DeSantis’ campaign? What in the hell makes you think this time will be different? Are they just gonna tell Ron “Sure, run on the MAGA platform ... we want to see those ideas succede”?

Finally, do you think Ron DeSantis has enough in him to tell Rove and Company to drop dead? If Desantis is the conservative we think he is, there is no way he’d put up with these asses for any considerable period of time. Does he have enough of a machine to stay afloat if the GOPe abandons him? Moreover, does he have the skills to heal the party should he defeat Trump?

Bush was very wise and Presidential ... he behaved wise and Presidential in front of cameras his entire second term. How did that work out for you?

Be aware that DeSantis will HAVE to take help from Karl Rove, the Bush Family, and the rest of the neocons out there that are mostly responsible for the state of this country should Desantis want to run in 2024.

If DeSantis would wait until 2026, he wouldn’t owe anyone anything.

If Desantis runs and wins in 2024, expect another W Bush Presidency. It’ll be the same “roll over and die” kind of Presidency brought to you by other elite Republican scumbag losers like George HW Bush and Gerald Ford.

Bottom line, you can’t be a statesman when you are fighting wild animals. The liberals can act all stately since they own the media ... the media does the dirty work for them. We don’t have such luxuries, so when we own the bully pulpit, we need to make effective use of it.

I’ll even go so far to say that if Reagan were around today and was playing the role Donald Trump currently holds, even he’d be attacking liberal idiots with less winks and smiles and more outright attacks. It is *that* bad these days.

I’m still trying to figure out how Trump was able to get liberals to cheer on a Cheney.

What’s hilarious is the dumb sellout bitch thinks liberals actually like her!!! :-) .
