  1. See this is the problem. Who gives a fuck about any of that? Democrats have been brainwashed by 40 years of Republican orthodoxy into thinking that their own party revolves around an ideology or a set of policies. That’s cargo cult shit. Parties are about who, not what, in all times and all places but that’s especially true for Democrats, in Texas, at this particular moment.

  3. Courtside tonight Troubles, Dirk, Hordor, Skeptical Sue, Radical Larry

  5. @realgreggym the children are gone and the adults are back in power, amirite? 🤡
  6. Agree. I would love it if it was a $500 one-off custom Seiko from Indonesia. o p
  7. No. You need somebody who was right for the context. But a real cultural Texan with Obama’s skill set and approach to the campaign would have. And BTW- Obama would have run 3-4% if not for the party diverting re Away from Texas in the final 10 weeks, and the senate race was winnnable with a stronger candidate than Rick Noriega
  8. Nah. Now it is certainly true that the people who vote to see others suffer are very influential on policy, and for them the cruelty is very much the point. But they aren’t why Trump and the GOP win. In other words you are exactly backwards - the high info voters are the cruelty seekers, the ones who actively support P2025, the ones who demand actual policy action. But most of their voters don’t pay much attention to any of this stuff and think the guy from the apprentice will make everyone better off, and that Democrats are whiny, hysterical, kill-joy losers.
  9. National, local, statewide? It’s really a question of context and every electorate is unique. But in general: 1) they have to be interesting and get attention- to make their own weather. 2) they need to connect to their voters on an intuitive level and frame themselves as a champion for that voters interests, so they don’t get cornered by the specifics of policy 3) when they do talk about policy, they talk about objectives and outcomes and who they benefit, not itemized lists of policies and goodies for connected interests. Leaders talk about where they are taking you. Democrats read turn by turn directions. So- who is a good candidate? It’s context dependent. Gallego is good in Arizona but probably wouldn’t translate nationally. Same thing with Booker in NJ. Trump is historically great, esp because of #1. Attention is more important than money. Ann Richards and Obama were the best I ever saw at 2&3. Ted Cruz, Greg Abbott and Dan Patrick are among the worst candidates in the history of politics but keep getting elected because Democrats.
  10. I wasn’t sharing it but yesterday I was rolling my eyes about Booker’s speech and writing it off as another one of Booker’s bemusing, self-indulgent stunts. So I was surprised on the way to my colonoscopy this morning when the top 40 radio idiots were talking about it. They did seem bemused, because they didn’t know if he was trying to stop something or not, but they seemed impressed either way. Getting the attention of that kind of low information citizen who doesn’t pay any attention to politics has been a major struggle for Democrats, so I guess this was a W. Too many words
  11. Democrats should never have gotten painted into a corner on that issue, but as usual they were wrong about the politics and also misunderstood their own electorate (and didn’t bother to ask them). But nevermind anybody’s opinions about the issue or history, Democrats should be vocally supporting voter ID now because in the year of our lord 2025, low propensity voters favor the GOP
  12. I hate the college admissions arms race and for the record don’t have any objection to UATX doing whatever they like, but the above quote is horseshit undiluted. Not only do you not need to go through a name school for a career those fields, you may not even need to graduate from or even attend a four year college.
  13. The DJIA gained 57% from 1/21/16-1/20/21 it gained 40% from 1/20/21-1/20/25
  14. No, it bottomed on March 9, 2009. Between then and Inauguration Day 2013 the DJIA more than doubled.
  15. Bozo Casanova Watches and Wonders release summary: 1) Rolex: The Bling Dweller, the Hospice Timer, Malaise-Era upgrades. Combined with the elimination of the Milgauss and the transition of the larger Explorer 1 from 39 to 40mm to consolidate cases this is officially the weakest Rolex lineup ever. 3/10 2) Cartier: A badass Tank LC, a Jump Hour you will never see, a Panthere for the most popular drag queen in Moscow, and some really gaudy jewelry. I love it. 12/10 3) Tudor: biggest surprise of the show. Showed up with nothing new to say. maybe next year. 0/10 4) Oris: just the Big Crown, but now with a bunch of colors. Actually … great? 8/10 5) JLC: WE GOT MORE REVERSOS! 10/10 6) Tag: Great new Carrera, hideous new Solargraph. They understand who they are for, at last. 7/10
  16. Lotta fat people came to town.
  17. Wasn’t his whole thing that he didn’t want to be a 5?
  18. So apparently there was a suicide in the McBride’s parking lot? I saw something on Reddit but not anywhere else. Anybody know what happened?
  19. Got more game than Coleco!
  20. This guy gets it
  21. For only 10X the price of your best watch you too can wear something that looks like a Swatch collaboration with Liberace.
