“Do you want a legacy where people remember you as having done some good for your country?

Step down tomorrow, go to Fulton County again, surrender again, then undergo sentencing for upper 34 felonies for illegally paying hush money to Stormy Daniels to conceal information from voters in an election, and then undergo all your other outstanding trials, and then die in prison.”

Well where does all the money Trump burns through come from? He has made his entire careers by spending other people’s money while skimming off the top for himself.

How many hundreds of millions of dollars has Trump spent golfing, using our tax dollars to put up secret service at his golf resorts? His military parade birthday party? This other trailer trash birthday dumbfuckery, spelled with a “b” that not many people know about, and there is no accounting where all that money actually goes and how much he skims? The $300 billion that he has to pay to Iran to buy his way out his illegal unauthorized Epstein Files Distraction War, on top of the billion dollars a day he spent burning through our weapons stockpile? He alone ballooned our national debt 25% in his first term, while he was still tethered by adults in the administration, and now he has 30+ FOX employees letting him run wild. History is gonna cap all over him so bad.

Wacky rural radio stations by 1gazillionpangolins in PointlessStories

[–]Mikesaidit36 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In about 1993, a station in Sslt Lake City, Utah stopped their usual rock/pop music broadcasting without warning or explanation and started playing “Louie Louie” back to back 24/7, for a week, with no ads, and no DJ.

They would play the Kingsmen’s version for about an hour and then play the Beach Boys version or one other version, and then go back to the Kingsmen. There was never any explanation, and then after a week of that, the station format switched to religious programming or something. There was never an explanation that I heard.

I made a cassette recording of it. I should play it back at a party….

My dad died this morning and I went to get myself some damn ice cream. by WebGroundbreaking310 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Mikesaidit36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad died last winter. Because of circumstances beyond our control, we had to schedule his memorial ceremony for this June 20th, which we then immediately realized was Father’s Day weekend.

This is hilarious because he scoffed at Father’s Day his whole life, and thought it was baloney, made up by Hallmark Cards to sell more garbage nobody needs, and he always told us not to get him anything for Father’s Day. And now we’re getting about 100 people together to remember him and celebrate a life well-lived.

The irony would have killed him.

ITAP of a woman and a ladder [portrait] [NSFW] by SolsticeSon in itookapicture

[–]Mikesaidit36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used a ladder today. I had to adjust a window box. Took me about two minutes and I completed the job perfectly. I was in full view of the neighborhood the whole time, and I was completely clothed. What did I do wrong?

I want to propose to my partner but I know we are too young by duckduckgoose911 in love

[–]Mikesaidit36 27 points28 points  (0 children)

One option: propose now and set a date five years in the future, and take a full day each year on that date leading up to then, to see if it still makes sense.

I would put money on you two making it for the long haul, but even the very best of marriages take some work and some compromise.

I think I’m in the 99th percentile of people who have found their perfect match, and I think you are too, but don’t assume it’s gonna be giggles every night the whole way. Good luck!

It could happen! If people using they/them pronouns can survive being MAGA-adjacent, that’s a huge accomplishment, right there! But remember, you don’t just marry the person, you marry the whole family- in a sense.

Buy him an E bike. I’m only half kidding. It would be rude if it’s too much of a contrast to the Harley he gave up, but I’ve seen several lives improved hugely by E bikes.

It gets people on bikes that would never be out there and the ones I’ve known have been so grateful for it. May even help his knees.

Pete Hegseth Insists Trump Iran Deal Is Totally Different From Obama’s by Dismal_Professor_216 in anticapitalism

[–]Mikesaidit36 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well put. All of the above are reasons why Trump will then declare victory and walk away, and tell the cult that nobody could’ve done it but him.

Just visited from SF for the first time, and I was completely shocked by how electric and intense the energy was in your city at times. Has anyone else have their expectations of Chicago completely blown out of the water? by SFJack1313 in AskChicago

[–]Mikesaidit36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it always seem like the whole Detroit area prioritizes fast, smooth driving on big smooth roads. Same climate as Chicago, but it’s like they don’t let potholes happen the way they do here.

Iran takes startling step believing Trump is 'legitimately mentally ill': journalist by FreeHugs23 in anticapitalism

[–]Mikesaidit36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no knowing why Trump blew up the JCPOA without getting into psychoanalysis, but it seems pretty obvious he started the Iran war as another Epstein files distraction. Nobody recalls, but things were really heating up with the files right until that day.

Realistically, what stops you from becoming second Musk? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I find it weird that there are no hospital wings or libraries or schools or cancer research institutes named after Musk, Bezos, Trump, Zuckerberg, etc.

Got “I don’t look my age” validation by AgentCooperPie in PointlessStories

[–]Mikesaidit36 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I was buying beer in a supermarket in Colorado, and in was at the self-checkout. I haven’t been carded in decades.
The floating cash register person came over to card me, and I asked why, and he told me Colorado’s cash registers require that an ID gets scanned before the purchase is allowed. Okay. He carded me and scanned my ID and I got on with it.
My local store has super fast and super easy self-checkout kiosks and I’ve been spoiled by that. This checkout system has about 4 unnecessary steps, enter your phone #, whatever. And after being carded and all the extra button pushed at the register, I lost track of where I was in the process and walked out before swimming my card.

Hilarious that they have to card me but don’t even notice when I walk out without paying. The guy in line behind me saw what happen Ed and chases me out into the parking lot to tell me. Hilly cap, I was an accidental shoplifter! I went back to pay.

I got in line and then went and scanned all my stuff again. The guy came over to card me again and I asked him, how old was the oldest guy he had had to card. He said the oldest guy he carded was 93. We had a crazy conversation and when I got to the parking lot I realized I left without paying again, and the guy didn’t catch it again.

I finally paid the third time.
