  1. Yeah, it's as if there aren't going to be any more elections. Nothing about this administration sounds like they have any intention of going anywhere in 3.5 years
  2. Look, I've said for years that anybody still in this guy's camp is either stupid or evil. I'm coming to realize that *for some of them* it may be a little more nuanced than that. I know these people well enough to know that they're not closet racists and they're not stupid. So how did they get taken in anyway? Seems like a question worth figuring out, that's all.
  3. Can a zipper be repaired, or do you just need new pants? Also, girl in the polka dots just lost three fights in one video, which has to be a record.
  4. I tend to agree, but I think some of them don't even understand that blatantly racist things are happening. As insane as that sounds, someone who comes home and watches Fox News exclusively isn't seeing the same world that we're seeing. I'm not trying to make excuses for these folks, mind you. I just think it's an oversimplification to believe that all Trumpkins are stupid or racist. Most of them are. But not all. Some are just gullible, and the difference between gullible and stupid might be subtle, but it's probably important.
  5. All racists are Trumpkins, but not all Trumpkins are racists.
  6. I totally get this. It's easy to dismiss Trumpkins as either stupid or evil, and I think that truly does account for more than half of them. But I know several who are college educated and reasonably bright people, until the topic turns to politics, then they turn into barking seal Jesse Watters clones. It's bizarre. But otherwise, they do well at their jobs, raise good kids, rescue dogs, give money to charity, etc. They seem to be good and bright people who just have blinders on when it comes to one topic. So it appears to be possible, and maybe even common, for people to be at least semi-smart in most areas and still be gullible, and therefore to fall for Trump without being a racist or a moron. This is deeply disturbing on many levels, and it doesn't bode well for this country getting out of this mess any time soon.
  7. Shoot him a few more times, just to be sure.
  8. What kind of fucking animal targets firefighters? I get that some people have a problem with cops and other officials. But firefighters? Those are the closest thing we have in this country to actual heroes. Them and hospice nurses. This is sickening.
  9. Jesus, he keeps saying "individuals" and that it's likely to be a "multi-day operation." What the actual fuck, man?
  10. On CNN now, finally. At least two dead.
  11. Yeah, because they have local affiliates, I'm sure. But I'm watching CNN talk about proposed Medicaid cuts, which is a big deal, don't get me wrong. But when they flood me with breaking news alerts 8 times a day even when there is no breaking news, how are they not all over this?
  12. National news stations aren't saying anything about this yet?
  13. OMFG What's it gonna take, people?! God dammit, man.
  14. I'm more concerned about aggy at 8. Didn't they just lose 5 times with their best roster ever? Is that programmed into the Dynasty mode? For accuracy?
  15. I guess the Wi-Fi signal wasn't as good at Golden Corral.
  16. "The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity" W.B. Yeats, "The Second Coming"
  17. Oh, of course they will. I suspect that internally the GOP heads are positively giddy about this development. This is the kind of showdown they want. It's a good stress test for how much they can get away with in these early days.
  18. Let me guess... He was really born in Kenya...
  19. More like Drunk Conspiracy Theory.
  20. Incorrect on both counts.
  21. Worst. Hype. Man. Ever.
  22. Yeah, all 170 of them nationwide.
  23. That shrimp knows a lot more about college football.
  24. At this point it seems fair to ask if the president has been checked for Multiple Personality Disorder.
  25. I have played poker with that guy at The Lodge in Round Rock.
