    Am I too european to be shocked by 146 dollars for a full tank of a big pick-up truck? I’ve recently seen a BMW 5 series fill up his diesel for 100 Euros (granted it was premium diesel)

      The shocking part is that the guy with the pickup truck can’t actually afford the cost. He may well lose that truck because it’s probably a good chunk of his net worth (at least for what he’ll end up paying in the end).

    No, no, you need to listen and take notes. Tony who drives a truck in Cali is a pro, his knowledge and intelligence has been honed through years of practice.

    He knows how to gargle the balls WHILE working the shaft. You might not ever need those skills in life but it’s good to know just in case.

      No, this is real.

      Roughly 1/4 to 1/3 of this country is in a goofy as fuck, anti-reality, violent and dangerous death cult, called MAGA.

      You know how like in Japan or SK, large wealthy cults have an outsized impact on politics, scandals when it turns out a PM or whoever got a bunch of money from one?

      We elected our cult leader president.

      Thats… thats roughly the framing you need, for this to maybe actually make sense in your brain, as anything other than the worlds grandest reality TV show.


      Yougov recently did a poll.

      https://yougov.com/en-us/articles/54707-how-many-americans-think-they-could-beat-donald-trump-in-a-fight

      On average, 66% of Americans think they could win a fight, an actual fist fight, with Donald Trump.

      10% thought they’d lose, 24% unsure.

      Now break it down by party.

      Democrats:

      75% would win, 5% would lose, 20% unsure.

      Republicans:

      39% would win, 33% would lose, 28% unsure.

      So thats’s 25% of Dems don’t think they’re certain to win, vs 61% of Reps don’t think they’re certain to win…

      … a fight against an obese and literally demented 79 year old with bone spurs, who wears diapers, and is often seen nodding off during meetings.

      You really can only explain something like this by framing the hardcore MAGA folks as delusional, mentally impaired cult members.

      They have Trump Derangement Syndrome, but its the opposite of what they think it is… its North Korea levels of Dear Leader god-king worship.

        In order for me to answer the question, “Can I whoop DTJ’s ass,” I need to know, with or without secret service protection. Without the secret service, I’d curb stomp the fuck out of him. But if secret service is between me and DTJ, that changes things.

          For the purposes of the question, it’d be without any sort of help from outside sources. You and anyone else who reads this would probably have no problem beating him.

            I used to live down the street from this girl in a motorized scooter thing. Her back was fucked. She loved the nerdiest, weirdest audiobooks. I’d help her pirate them, cause she was on disability and broke AF.

            Idk why, but when you say anyone, I think of her just going to town on him with that scooter. This poor, disabled black chick just grinding him into the pavement. We could sell tickets!

              Depending on how fast the scooter goes, she could definitely take him. He’s very unstable and once he’s down, he’s not getting back up easily.

        I am a fit 50-something lady and no I don’t think I could beat up the fascist in chief because fat guys have mass on their side. I can think of ways (like the personal protection fighting that gets taught to women) to do enough to run away, but don’t underestimate fat guys. They carry all that weight around all the time.

          Yeah I don’t think I could win a fist fight in the sense of Queensbury boxing match, but a regular fight-fight where I can kick his legs out from under him? People that age and weight tend not to handle falls well

          I hear you, and my answer is the same strategy that is currently defeating Trump in Iran:

          Rope a Dope.

          Conserve your energy, maintain your stamina, conceal your strength, keep him moving.

          Only take a chance at a strike you know will hit, then flutter away.

          Couple rounds of that, he’s having a heart attack, you win.

          He notoriously has horrendous posture.

          That means his core will tire out rapidly if you keep him him on his toes.

          EDIT:

          If Kash Patel is reading this, ‘get a shot at him’ is a colloquial phrase that indicates a chance to engage another in hand to hand combat, contextually as a hypothetical, potentially involving hyperbole.

      Yes, plenty of people with this kind of mentality exist in the USA.

      I don’t know if this particular person is satire or not, and I’m not going to spend any time hunting down their profile to verify.

      The fact that they aren’t blaming Biden in both of these posts makes me think it’s satire, though. Because the very limited exposure I still have in real life to people of this general political persuasion suggests that they’re all about blaming Biden for the current spike in gas and grocery prices. I’ve heard several different variations of why them blame Biden for current gas prices, but it mostly boils down to a nebulous, tangential line of reasoning that Biden didn’t start a war with Iran during his term.

      As though dealing with the consequences of Trump’s disastrous handling of COVID and the economy wasn’t enough, they apparently think Biden should have also been bombing Iran “back to the stone age.”

        It is not.

        This person is cognitive dissonance personified, they’re not capable of mental consistency, they are a delusional cult member, their brain works in such a way that it pretzels to find any possible reason to justify and glorify the cult leader.

        If you haven’t personally lost friends and family members to the MAGA cult, please trust me, I am being completely serious.

          I once saw a 50 year old woman who weighed about 500lbs, on a mobility scooter running her mouth at another woman in target.

          The other woman just was minding her own business shopping. Then adult power wheels rolls up and starts barking at her to go back to her homeland.

          The woman explained that she was a native american. To which jabba the slut replied “THEN GO BACK TO NATIVE LAND!!!”

          Every fiber of my being was thinking how I should have walked over, turned the key off her hoverround, took the key, and walk away with it. What’s she gonna do? Follow me?

          Still wish I had.

        I have a theory,

        Stupidity is a separate dimension from privilege so naturally you would have a group of non stupid privileged people and also stupid privileged people.

        This is just what stupid + privileged looks like.

        See if you have stupid + unprivileged, you just get a natural balance via impactful consequences

      My inlaws were complaining about 200+ dollar charges to fill up their trucks and vans with gas.

      The same people were telling me that buying a used EV in January 2024 was a bad idea. My car costs about $9 dollars to fill up, and it does that from home.

      And people, we haven’t even hit a fuel shortage yet. Wait until gas is rationed or flat out not available at most stations, and then see what happens to the price. If you think that isn’t going to happen, airlines are already cutting flights due to fuel shortages spiking the price.
