The Discourse - 2019

Did anyone watch Trump's stupid ass speech? Man, he is a really dumb motherfucker!

I did. It was dumb. Seems like he's trying to move the goalposts. Since border security funding including significant physical barriers already exist it's unclear what the line in the sand is.

The idiots (including Trump) advocating "a big wall" also seem to think the US-Mexican Border is just a long flat area of desert scrubland.

It's not... look up "Big Bend National Park"... where the fuck are you going to put a wall there?

Why?

Cause Yankeelandia is on the verge of another recession thanks to 8 year auto loans with 0% interest.

And according to Trumpanzees the only way to get out of recession is spend spend spend!

Yankeelandia.

I was doing demolition work in my kitchen then I watched MSU hosting Purdue so I didn't see any of it. I doubt I would have watched even if that wasn't the case. I usually wait to hear the blowhards decry the latest soundbytes as the worst thing any POTUS has ever done, then read a couple articles about the speech/debate/whatever and find out they're mostly full of shit (again).

Yankeelandia.

I live less than 30 miles from the heart of Yankeelandia (the Bronx) and I work in finance and I've never seen auto loans with terms that sweet.

I was talking about the small Norwegian province of that name.

 

[Michchamp]

I know "Yankee" was supposed to be mildly insulting reference, but going to another country and getting called "Yank" or "Yankee" made me feel a lot of national pride.

Like I was ready to get a musket and go fight Redcoats.

 

[Michchamp]

... or march through Georgia and burn it all to ashes.

car loans must be the one and only cheap thing Norway. i wasn't in the market for one when i visited but i tell ya, everything else there is f'n expensive.

edit: i would have guessed Yankeelandia was in Finland, like the vodka. shits pretty expensive there too by the way.

It?s a term of endearment because we saved the world during WW II.

Nobody cares about the redcoats in another country.

Wasn't "Wolverines" originally derogatory too?

 

[Michchamp]

I wish after he said "Here's lookin' at you kid" she said "What does that mean? It's not grammatically correct." and then the movie just ended.

it still is.

Says the guy with a school mascot named for a people whose reputation for a low literacy rate has survived ~2,500 years.

I don't think anyone you ask would say that's the legacy of the Spartans. Everyone knows yours is named after a rodent.

That was the original ending.

It did NOT play in Poughkeepsie.

OK, I should put taxonomy on the list with literacy then.

whatever the literacy rate was in ancient Sparta circa 400 B.C. when the majority of the human race was illiterate, that didn't help the wolverine population which, by the way had a 100% illiteracy rate, from being slaughtered en masse and completely wiped out throughout all of Sparta (by the Spartans, of course). To this day, there are less than 2,000 such rodents in all of Europe.
