  1. I think a good analogy for this is a your typical schoolyard bully getting off on beating down all the smaller, weaker kids in the playground coming up to the only kid that's just as big and, being the arrogant fool that he is, decides to try to do the same thing to this other guy. Only turns out this kid has got a 10th degree black belt in Kung Fu and likes fighting dirty. Pretty obvious how this story ends.
  2. Exactly. Evil cliffhanger. That went by too fast. Was that really two episodes? Didn't feel like it.
  3. Fly in the sky? He gonna have King launch him or something? Don't forget to go for the nape of the neck when you get up there Zoro. Can't hurt to try, right?
  4. PIca's such a blockhead. Yeah I said it. Still his power is just too much. As long as he's in contact with the earth he's practically unstoppable. Don't see how Zoro's gonna take him down if he can't find where the real body is at.
  5. Wild goose chase. LOL Knew it couldn't be that easy. And yep, oh boy, and he's got a gazillion look-alikes all over the place. Ha ha.
  6. The hacker girl is the most hard core criminal of the group? LOL Definitely didn't expect that.
  7. Not trying to destroy the world. He's just trying to destroy all humans. Not at all the same thing.
  8. A Working Man 5/10 (Okay action movie, but just a real lack of originality to it. Feels like Statham plays pretty much the same character in almost every film.) Elevation 6/10 Love Hurts 8/10 (Felt it got a bit too silly at times, but still a really good martial arts action flick.) Heretic 8/10 (Great psychological thriller. Hugh Grant was excellent in this.)
  9. This was the first I'd heard about this, but he's planning a military parade, again, to happen on his 79th birthday. He had sane people in his cabinet the first time to talk him out of it, but now that he's surrounded himself with just a circle of ass kissers guess we can expect it's almost certainly gonna happen this time around. Geez. Really hope a bunch of those forced to march in it take Titus's advice and honor bone spur baby by limping.
  10. And so he's raising the white flag slowly but surely.
  11. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2025/apr/10/elon-musk-doge-spying “It’s like being in a horror film where you know something out there [wants] to kill you but you never know when or how or who it is,” one employee from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development said. 1984 really is coming to life, right before our eyes. Just about 40 years behind schedule is all.
  12. Poor family. Found this video pretty interesting. Provides a lot of insight and helps illustrate what might have happened here. Also, another small plane crash down in Boca Raton. Plane started having trouble shortly after takeoff and was circling a while before it went down. All three people aboard died. https://abcnews.go.com/US/small-plane-crashes-boca-raton-florida-police/story?id=120717334
  13. There was a statement that was put out in addition to the ruling that I didn't really look at before, but now that it's been drawn to my attention I gotta say it's pretty damn chilling. "The Government's argument, moreover, implies that it could deport and incarcerate any person, including U. S. citizens, without legal consequence, so long as it does so before a court can intervene, wrote Justices Sonia Sotomayorr, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson. In other words, if they had found in favor of the government they'd have basically been incentivizing them to quietly kidnap and ship anyone they didn't like out of the country to anywhere and do conceivably anything to them without consequence. That's what the Trump administration lawyers were basically arguing they should be allowed to do, so if you were wondering why this was a 9 - 0 decision, there you go.
  14. What's funny is it makes no sense that you'd want to tell the public in advance if you're going to manipulate the market into going up because it potentially ruins the chance for you and your friends to benefit from said manipulation, but he's got a history of doing nonsensical stuff and also having just a tendency to do a lot of his criming in public, so... LOL Should be shocking, but it just isn't at all. Nothing really is though anymore.
  15. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/supreme-court-trump-admin-must-facilitate-release-kilmar-abrego-garcia-rcna200284 Well, they're finally standing up to him in regards to at least Mr. Garcia's case. The government didn't really have a leg to stand on here though. Now let's see long it takes to make them comply. That's the real test. Of course we should expect they're gonna try and drag their feet on doing so as long as they possibly can cuz once they bring someone back it does away with the argument that the rest of them can't be ordered to be brought back to get their due process, too.
  16. More tariff follies today as they apparently made a mistake with their math and said the tariff on China didn't go up to 125% but actually 145%. As you can imagine the markets didn't much like that news.
  17. Quite pleasant to see its stock price has plunged since the crazy opening it had at the beginning of the month. Wonder how many idiots bought in at $233 a share and lost their shirts.
  18. Sad thing is that's just business as usual at this point. Be more shocking if they weren't doing stuff like that when we know they've taken all the cops off the beat when it comes to white collar crime now.
  19. Pressure was building in congress with more republicans openly signing on to the bill to wrest the tariff power away from him, which is what I think ultimately got him scared enough to make a move. I got a say, I'm getting really sick and tired of people saving him from himself. I mean it's good they stopped him from sending the whole country to economic hell, but how much insanity can you allow before you understand what you're enabling. Of course, this isn't over yet, and 10% is still a much higher rate than we had before on the rest of the world. Also, it's supposedly just a 90 day pause, pffft. I can't imagine anyone buys that he's gonna do this all over again 90 days from now. I mean if he does, he'll just be the boy that cried tariff. When it comes to China though... Yeah, I can't see this as sustainable with them either. How long he'll stick with this trade war with them though appears less certain. They're not giving an inch, and if he backs down quickly to them it'll be just an obvious capitulation an total embarrassment for him. My guess is this drags on a bit longer on that front.
  20. Well, he just caved on everybody but China. Lowered the rest of the world tariff rates to 10% and jacked China up to 125%. So much for sticking to his guns. LOL
  21. How messed up has this world become for the Chinese government to be throwing Reagan at us now.
