Afterberner here. We aren't surprised at all. Same with 2016; this is why we got on the glorious high-speed no-brakes never-tired-of-winning Trump Train.

I'm just past 40, but I'm at least as forgetful as a doddering hundred-year-old man, so the way I see it, I have a 250 IQ.

I went to grad school after being in the working world for five years. Very glad I did it that way. I wasn't so old that I didn't fit in, but I was a lot more mature than if I had gone straight there at age 21.

So the majority of today's working people have known nothing but the current system of race and gender quotas and favoritism, yet we're expected to continue to imagine that the privileges are all the same as they were in 1950.

Oh, the Aztecs absolutely were. Look up that basketball game of theirs and what happens to the losing captain and specifically what happens to his head.

I've made plenty of well-received Michelle-is-Michael jokes on here so I can endure the occasional downvote for saying something different. (I genuinely wouldn't be surprised no matter which sex Mike is revealed to be, if such a revelation ever comes.)

I had studied the Mayan writing system so I was really excited for the movie, and I was expecting them to not try all that hard with the language, so I was pleasantly surprised. I understood just a tiny fraction of the Mayan (such as the word balam, "jaguar"), but the fact that Gibson even tried it is amazing.

Apocalypto and Passion of the Christ also both use the correct local languages, something you would think the pretending-to-be-sensitive Hollywood establishment would love him for, but somehow they don't. Once again it is our side who has that kind of sensitivity.

Take care of your old car, pede, and keep it in good repair and running well like you're a Cuban taking care of a 1950s Oldsmobile. Today's cars are filled with technology that you don't want.

HASTING’S CAR WAS CAUGHT GOING OVER 200MPH WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT ON, THEN EXPLODING MULTIPLE TIMES in a manner that would be impossible if it was natural. CIA admitted they can hack into cars past 2004.

Anyone thinking "Cash for Clunkers" was about a handout to the auto industry is only half correct -- the other half is that it was an effort to get people into today's computerized, connected, remote-controllable cars.

They appear in order on my page too, and the upvotes are in the 7000s.

Actually there's a FREE KYLE post right above it so it looks even better.

I had spent lots of time in societies which are run as Bernie Sanders would run things. Socialized medical care for everyone, well-subsidized colleges; high-ish minimum wage.

I had surgery to mitigate a physical disability for a fraction of what it would have cost in the USA, and got two postgrad degrees at a top-class university very cheaply.

I was ready for America to try something like this so that a new generation of young people could enjoy what I got to enjoy.

And I was ecstatic that the Democrats finally seemed to be accepting a man who embodied the principles that they claimed to be about (big government in service to working folks).

I never hated Trump, but I loved Bernie.

There was never any chance of me changing my loyalty to Hillary when she did the Bern dirty. And then the Democrats revealed their true selves: a bunch of lying, thieving, cheating crooks who only want power and don't care what kind of immoral and despicable things they need to do to get it. And then the Seth Rich situation happened, and the Wikileaks stuff came out, and I was so disgusted that I just walked over to the Trump camp and embraced MAGAism. It wasn't a hard thing to do; Trump is just as devoted to the working class as Bernie is.

And so in the weeks leading up to Election Day, I went from thinking that Trump was a decent alternative to the guy I really liked, to being the most amazing candidate the US has seen in decades. I couldn't describe how happy I was when the numbers came in on Election Day and he was president. And we're all going to be even happier when he wins again next month!

If Biden went around calling everyone the n word, he'll still get 90% of the vote.

Lyndon Johnson did this exact thing.

Looked at another way, it's not ironic at all. She comes from many generations of people who think they are entitled to have power over others. Centuries ago her ancestors literally owned slaves, and now she herself is trying to virtually own them.
