When I saw "Swerve Strickland," I thought it was a Back To the Future reference that I didnt know about.

Where was this one taken at?

...it's another KNOWING what or who you hit. I've hit a dog once and that incident played on an endless loop in my head for quite a while. That was maybe 3 or 4 years ago. I couldn't imagine if it was a human.

Railroad employee here, so this one hits close to home. For a critical incident, such as mentioned, the crew gets 3 paid days off. Luckily I've never had to deal with such a thing, but I've known and worked with guys that have. It's one thing to hear the 'thud.'...

Then you have the mental health of the train crew that hit said person that positioned themselves in front of the train.

But on the positive side....the AVERAGE is down.

Well, if you wanted to do something a little more grisly, you could call it your chum bucket list.

I get it. I mean you got a guy running a resort from California. Why not allow the resort to be ran by the people of Colorado. The opportunity was there, but it was being pursued at the wrong time.

Well this just gives the term "Eat my ass" a whole new meaning

Gotta spray paint it gold first.

He can do the elbow pump 'honk honk' move.

We've all been saying those exact words since 2016.

I don't think he is either. I mean the world's population has got to be unsuspecting participants in the largest psychology experiment.

But it would be interesting to monitor how he'd react when left alone being made to believe that he decimated the world.

If so, it'll have to be gold colored.

Better yet, while he's in there, turn the outside into a wasteland (think Mad Max for reference). Then let him out allowing him to see what he created. Then have the actors abruptly leave. Like sneak them off when Trump isn't looking. Leaving him alone.

It'll satisfy him for a short period of time. Then like any toddler with a toy, he'll get tired of it. The resources aren't what he wanted, the people there lean liberal and don't like him, etc.

When the term TDS first came out, I seriously thought that's who it was aimed at. The alt Right Wing MAGA QAnon crowd. When they started to call Liberals out as having TDS, it just didn't make sense to me.

Hmm... interesting position of the red dot after (REC) over Trump's forehead.
January 17, 2026 at 2:19 PM
Or another distraction. He probably figures that if he goes 'look at me, I'm doing something to help kids' instead of 'dont look over there where it shows I did things to hurt kids' the latter will just disappear.
