Yes, we should hear what govt officials have to say about it. But we shouldn't have to hear what you or anyone else has to say about govt officials in this thread except when directly commenting on their direct comments or actions in relation to this event. Spew your hate for either side in CR where it belongs. The problem is Trump would definitely blame this shit on the biden administration if they were in charge. He has never let a good crisis go to waste politically. So complaining about the other side doing it appears quite a bit hypocritical. Sure this particular incident most likely had nothing to do with the shitshow going down since Trump took office, but at some point what is good for the goose is good for the gander. I mean, Trump has unabashedly been full of shit blaming a closed faucet from the PNW for the fires in LA, then trying to collect props for getting the military to open that faucet up, all complete and objective bullshit, but if you respond to that newsworthy bullshit as being bullshit, oh no , that needs to be in the Cloak Room. Fact is Trump has blurred a lot of lines, unfortunately the biggest is the american public's acceptance of basic verifiable facts, so it is not surprising when you might see some comments you find a tad too political bleed into the Daily Texan.41 points

I fully expect blacklab to come in here and “clean up” this thread in a bit after his and the other mods get inundated with DMs and reports from the pussies who get their fee fees hurt every time someone challenges their worldview If imamac allows that I will be very disappointed given the censorship occurring on other social media platforms and now even in legacy media (actual news dickheads). It’s beyond time people stop catering to them here and in real life. Don’t like it fuck off to TexAgs or SEC Rant or some other shitty website31 points

Meh. I was 100% for Harris but if we are going to do this I want the whole got-damned thing in flames in four years. I want it to be so bad that we run all the tech bros out of the country, get lobby money out of politics all together, and start taxing the rich again like it's 1972. I want us to be just as embarrassed of this time period as the Germans were about WW2. I want history to treat the Trump name like Voldemort. I want anyone with the name Trump to change it out of shame/fear of violence. The only way to get back to paying people livable wages is for the entire house of cards to come down. I would rather it be now than when my daughter is trying to raise a family and I am too old to help.21 points

That's interesting, because I find I don't give a fuck. I loathe the SEC. I loathe these hillbillies we're attached to. I'm so happy these neanderthal, incestual, deliverance style typecast collection of cavemen have already learned to hate our guts. In one year! Outstanding everyone! I appreciate the single-minded passion with which these hick town Walmart greeters approach college football, so we can rake in more money, travel to actual football stadiums rather than the wanna be high school tinker toys in the Big 12, and be more relevant in terms of the future of college football than we could ever be in the backwaters of the Big 12. But why in the world would you actually want to be associated with them? And I'll say Mizzou gets all kinds of shit for not really being a culture fit for the SEC. They don't win anything. I think there's a general, "what the fuck does Missouri add again?" attitude among other SEC fans. A&M is seen as a collection of weirdos, but let's face it. Demographically A&M and everything in Texas east of College Station/Bryan is an excellent cultural fit for the SEC. They've enjoyed ball gargling Alabama, Georgia, and LSU while those programs actually win something. Who can't appreciate a good BJ? I can understand why some of the SEC fans like keeping A&M around. They're like a good collie that's been neutered so they're less likely to pee on the shag carpet. One of my favorite parts of the season was going on the various SEC message boards and seeing all the different fan bases line up to compete with one another as to who wanted to see Texas lose the most in the playoffs, even after Tennessee and Georgia lost. The fuckwads thought they had some semblance of conference unity before. No program can unite a collection of fanbases quite like Texas and our ability to generate an incredible shared "anyone but Texas!" attitude among everyone. It's been fun seeing how quickly we've been able to spread the hate. I look forward to seeing it grow!19 points

Americans cited limited resources as a reason undocumented immigrants should be deported. Wow. While at the inauguration there were 5 men with nearly a combined $1 trillion dollars, who pay almost no tax whatsoever, and in return get nothing but free federal grant money and contracts in the billions, standing right behind the new president. Also there was a corrupt preacher Sewell,who afterwards started shilling his own pump and dump shit coin. And they blame immigrants for "limited resources". That's like getting pissed off the corporation you work for is cutting salaries by 30% and blaming it on the ladies that come overnight to clean the office building. The stupidity to even entertain something like this is revolting. I can't imagine a more Orwellian image than this past inauguration.17 points

Just fucking rename this forum "MAGA Central" and get it over with. The fucking President of the United States is publicly blaming this plane crash on DEI and yet we aren't allowed to discuss that because ... reasons.17 points

Im not pissed because Trump won. Im pissed because he won, despite how people saw his last presidency go. people looked at 2016-2020 and thought “meh, better than a black woman career politician in charge.” and because America continues to fuck over others and themselves because they are fucking dumb, I will fiddle as this motherfucker burns. It takes a sentinel event to actually invoke change in America. This is that event. It needs to go so poorly, the scars remind us to never pull this shit again17 points

Well, it's not really that dumb because a lot of right-wingers feel free to dog-whistle, at best, in DT alleged news threads. But they're afraid to come into CR and get pantsed in their counter-factual and otherwise ill-informed opinions. And then they whinge about their Fox news sound-bites not being given equal time or debated or some shit.16 points

My father died last night. He was 87 years old. It was his time. He was ready. I wasn’t. But then, I suspect that we never are. We only have one father in our lives and, if we’re lucky, he’s a good one. Mine was. I can’t think of my father without thinking of fishing. I love to fish, he taught me to fish, and I passed that along to my kids. But the most meaningful fish of my life is a fish I never caught. Now, anyone who has ever fished with me knows that the world is full of fish I’ve never caught (why, the laws of physics may even be bent; I may have not caught more fish than have ever existed). But the fish I’m talking about was a flounder in the summer of 1984 or so. I was a teen. Being that age, I had a particularly difficult relationship with my father at that time. As I grew into myself and worked on figuring out who I was, a good part of that exercise was me pushing back on everything my father was, everything he wanted, everything he said, everything he even thought. I was….an unpleasant adolescent. And my father did not bend to my will. He pushed back. He loved me enough to stand fast, and to make me hate him, because he wasn’t going to stop being my father, even if that required standing strong and letting there be conflict. There was a great distance between us – the greatest it had ever been and ever would be. We had functionally nothing in common. We could go weeks without meaningful conversation. But we had one thing – ONE THING – that we still shared; we loved to fish, and we still liked to do it together. So, reaching out to me, to try to hold on to that last, tenuous thread holding father and son together, he suggested we go on a fishing trip to south Texas, to the bay house of dear family friends where we’d had so many great trips before. I agreed, because hey, I loved fishing. We had a great trip. We ate giant chicken fried steaks at the Brush Country Inn. We fished from a lighted pier all night long, every night for three days. And we caught fish, mostly speckled trout. But one night, I hooked into something big. My rod was bowed, it was a fight to get whatever it was to the dock. We were going to need the landing net. As I fought the fish close enough for us to finally get a glimpse, we saw that it was a beautiful, enormous flounder. Truly, the biggest flounder I’ve ever had on the line. I maneuvered him to the pier, my father laid out on his stomach with the landing net so he could reach as far out as possible to net the fish. As he lowered the net into the water, the flounder turned, shook his head once, and swam off. I felt in an instant when he threw the hook. My father flailed with the net, trying to scoop the fish before he got away. No dice. I was laughing – because of COURSE the best fish of the trip just shook the hook and swam away. That is the way of fishing with me. But what struck me was my dad’s reaction. He flailed with the net, and had a look of real anguish on his face. Anguish that the fish he wanted me to catch got away. Disappointment FOR me. Not IN me, but for me. He cared. In spite of all I’d put him through, how much I had alienated him, what mattered most to him was seeing ME have success. After all that had come between us – and still WAS standing between us – he loved me. Totally. Completely. Unconditionally. It still took us a long time to heal, and grow back together, but as we did so, I always remembered that fish, and how much he cared. Through everything, my father’s love was an anchor. His love for me. His love for my mother – oh, how he loved my mother. His love for my wife – a relationship that was far from easy, but was bound up in that same complicated love that I experienced for a time. A relationship that drew upon her pastoral strength and presence, which when he needed it, at the very end – it was there. Given freely, with grace, and with a connection to the divine that, well if you know wife, you know from which it flows. And love for his grandkids. To a person, everyone I’ve talked to about my dad since his passing has mentioned how he adored them. How proud he was of them. How they reminded him of my mother, my wife, me, and sometimes even of him. To the end, he talked about how his love for them was what kept him going. What he loved the most about each of them was their kindness – their intelligence and their achievements mattered, but when he spoke of them, he always spoke of how good and decent they are. Which makes sense, as his kindness was his enduring feature. There are things I knew of and saw along the way. When a family member was in a bind, how money was sent to solve the problem, no questions asked, and no expectation of repayment. And mind you, we were not a family of any great means. There also are things I didn’t know of before – how they opened their home to a young man as he started his cancer treatments in Houston and needed a safe place to stay. Again, no questions asked – just sharing of what they had, being kind because – well, why wouldn’t you be? My father was a child of the border, and all that entails. Some of it was hard; he was separated from his parents often at a young age, because they weren’t going to send him to school in the crappy little Mexican ranching town they lived in. So he grew up mostly in Eagle Pass, with family. He found opportunity in education – a high school teacher told him and so many of his classmates that they could go to college, driving them to A&M – yes, A&M – in the local school bus to see the campus and watch a football game. He got that education, which let him live a life that took him on adventures around the world – his years working in Argentina, living in Buenos Aires with my mother, the two of them together living a life of dreams, was one of the highlights of his life. Indeed, my father’s story cannot be told – not even a little bit – without talking about my mother. The best things in this world are love stories, the real love stories, the stories of a love that is tied to your very being. Theirs was that kind of love story. My father was a freewheeling young man living in the valley, working in the oil patch. My mother was a striking beauty, but the product of a hard life of fleeing an alcoholic father, abuse, poverty, and betrayal. She desperately wanted a man who would be kind to her, and who could someday provide her the life she barely dared to dream of. They met. My father couldn’t believe that he’d met the beauty he'd seen only from a distance. And my mother couldn’t believe that she’d met a man who was so kind, and so devoted. They married having dated for only a few weeks. And they were together for decades after that. He gave her the life she dreamed of – a son, a home, safety and security – until she died three years ago. He was her rock. She was his love, his adoration, his heart. And dear God, did he miss her so. Every day. In the end, he was ready to go. So he went. On his terms. He was ready to see her again. I hope that is a thing, that we do see each other again in some beyond. In our last conversation – which I knew was our last – we talked of the universe, and stardust. And how we are at once insignificant pieces of coalesced stardust in a universe of trillions of galaxies….but that same infinite, incomprehensible universe cannot have its story told without speaking of the time that some coalesced stardust was my father. And some other coalesced stardust was my mother. And together, they found and fostered a love fitting for an infinite universe. We are in awe of the universe, but the universe itself should be in awe of love. We matter. Love matters. My heart is broken. My parents are now both gone. My children are devastated by loss. My wife is my rock, a guide and pillar for me as I grieve. And I am lucky. I am so goddamned lucky.14 points

We are here because white people got uncomfortable. Any time in history white people got uncomfortable people either died or there were wholesale changes to the way our society operated. We are literally repeating history. After slavery. During the reconstruction. Southern whites lost their golden goose and were unable to continue operating as they did prior. All those slave owners became the poor, and the blacks, having all the trade skills(sound familiar), began to thrive. White people, upset about the fact that blacks were beginning to do well in society, began to take matters into their own hands once the Northern soldiers pulled out. They burned and pillaged about 60 locations across the south and put blacks back in their places. However, after putting black people back under foot, the country soon realized that it didn't make their lives better. That's when they came after the Oligarchs. Vanderbilt, Carnegie, Morgan, and Rockefeller were the more well known ones. They came after them with antitrust laws, a tiered tax system, and a whole host of other things. That and the stock market crash started the middle class boom that lasted until Reagan. Now we are right back to the dumb shit that happened circa 1880. White people are mad about the direction of the country. Misguided, they are attacking brown folks once again mainly in the form of Hispanics. However, just like before, they will find out that it's actually not the brown folks that are the problem. As soon as they get done deporting and getting the browns back under foot, they will turn their sights to the Musks and Bezos of the world just like they did before. History is nothing if not repetitive. Now I know all of you know the history, but reading it again sometimes helps to paint the picture.14 points
