  1. You are looking at it wrong, IMO. I tend to think these groups are just attractive to lonely people and it gives them a social community to identify with. We all do it, Christian, Texan, Buckeye, Green Party, Marine, Elk Club, whatever. Being part of a social group is necessary for humans. It is more important than facts. Look to those old Japanese soldiers who didn’t surrender until decades later, until they found a social member part of their community, to talk them down.
  2. The corporate ownership won’t change with term limits. Only good governance and a moment of clarity for American voters can unfuck this. So never.
  3. Sure they don’t value life and they do not value their own soldiers well being like we do, but they have some care.
  4. Funniest part of that is it is a madlibs statement and their followers just lap it up every time it repeats.
  5. Meh, guy looked to be already injured. Might as well let him be a burden to his own side.
  6. The only part that was unbelievable was the apology text.
  7. Wife doesn’t want to pay for chairs or umbrella yesterday. Gets sunburned. Daughter is stung by jellyfish and comes back crying/loud. I take care of it. Wife coaxes our boys into the water and they get stung. I handle them. She laments last night how I didn’t spend time on the beach yesterday, just reading on a porch. And how the kids gravitate toward me. So I need to be out there. So I book chairs and umbrellas. ———- Rental has crap coffee. I ask the wife if she wants me to grab her some better coffee and she declines before I went out. She tells me no, she doesn’t want to waste money. Cool. This morning she is drinking my coffee (cold brew).
  8. Ball bearings might rely lucky contact too much. Something designed to linger more would likely be better, chaff, those little parachutes they use on firecrackers, might be a better option.
  9. Democratic Party members should respond by opening up a pop up shop to sell AR15s (from citizen to citizen) with scopes near the governor’ mansion.
  10. The problem is that voters like neat little jingles to define our views. If it is longer than 3-8 words, our attention span gives way to a Facebook like or whatever. This is why Rs win, they have better messaging, even if their messages are horrible.
  11. Your insincerity. Me all starry-eyed. You think I would have known by now.
  12. Wives and stupid shit, or something else?

  14. I am not certain he started out this way. But it does appear that he was warped by celebrity/money in the same way that many childhood actors are.
  15. reminds me of my last visit with South Austin's mom.
