    Turns out the US civil war will be fought between different factions of grifters whose grifts will destroy the grifts other parties have been profiting off of for decades.

      That actually happened in the OG US civil War. The Union was severely hampered, especially in the beginning, because of all the supplier grift.

        I've been thinking about historical parallels for a while now. Granted it was rooted in vendetta and other malarkey (brandon ) but they did put Howard Hughes on the stand because of the Spruce Goose.

        How many times did something happen to the contractors during the "war on terror"?

        The grifts are stacked on grifts these days. Grifts all the way down. Is it different? Yes and no. Is it worse? Yes and no. Is it still a bunch of wasted time, effort, material, resources, etc on the eve of impending environmental disaster covered by the giant criminal blanket of illegal war? Yes.

        It's a real jokerfication kinda experience to ponder these things.

    It’s times like these where I think of how much of a fuck everything is

    Genuinely could have retired if I still had the hundreds of thousands of doge I bought like 10 years ago because it had no value whatsoever

    At the same time though, that idea is so absurd to me it genuinely just makes me want to see capital crash and burn even more

      Shout out to Stephen Root. He's such a fantastic character actor. He's been fantastic in a million things. His performances are so strong and he's such a chameleon - like as the eccentric judge in Justified - that when I see a clip of him as Milton it always takes me ~5 seconds to convince myself that yes - I'm looking at Stephen Root.

      Reddit apparently doesn't have a "character actors" sub. How odd.

      Ro can go the same way.

      • Red Stapler guy #2... Gone!
      • Red Stapler guy #3...
        .

      And every time the guy is shocked (Shocked!) when the phrase "He ain't gonna fuck you, bro," pertains to him.

    Let's ensure Americans get their money's worth with DOD spending!

    My brother in graft, what do you think the nine thousand percent markup on a pin is? It's the Americans that are rich enough to matter getting their money's worth for those lobbyists.
