  1. LOL that Rays are "checking in" on Soto. I'm also "checking in" on Aubrey Plaza and Margot Robbie.
  2. No one cheers from the dugout like he does. That needs to be factored into his WAR calculation.
  3. Wait... you think printing money helps inflation? If by help you mean "increase the rate of", then yes you are correct.
  4. Man, I can't even call a truce with myself. I am a straight married white male Christian veteran with income in the top 2%. I'm personally going to be just fine during a second Trump administration. But there are SOOOOO many people who I know and love and count as true friends who are truly afraid of what is next. There are millions of people who I don't know, but do care about who are truly afraid of what is coming down the pike. The complacent and comfortable me is at war with the me that cares about other people. As a Christian, it appalls me to see so many fellow "Christians" turning a blind eye to the marginalized and the "least of these." The part of me that wants to love and show grace to them is at war with the part of me that is just plain angry at what they do. My Dad is a county judge in Texas who takes his daily job and duties very seriously, but he also posts videos of the county-sanctioned Trump Truck parades flying "Fuck Kamala" flags. I'm proud of the work he does, but I am deeply ashamed of the messaging he buys into and repeats. My Mom is the Republican Party precinct chair. She actively works at a grass roots level to get more Republicans elected. I love her, but damn if I am not constantly conflicted any time I interact with her. The part of me that loves my family is at war with the part of me who can't stand the way that their lives have been taken over by politics. I'm not ready to call a truce and give up the struggle, though. Not even for a minute.
  5. To be fair, this would result in fewer abortions.
  6. He cannot be re-elected as president.
  7. It won't be passed, because it has been tabled (i.e. removed from consideration by the House). The Twitter OP gets the mechanism of what is happening wrong. No payments will be reduced by this latest action, but a bill that would have INCREASED payments for certain state govt employees and others is now dead. It's not that payments will be reduced, but that potential increases in payments will no longer happen.
  8. This is breathtakingly ignorant. I will admit that I used to be like you until I actually worked in the belly of the beast for two years inside the beltway. Firing the bureaucrats won't make the bureaucracy go away. It will just completely stall the bureaucracy, and nothing will ever get done. You think the system is inefficient now? Wait until you get a bunch of people trying to run it who have no clue how to work the mechanisms of bureaucracy.
  9. I’ll reform you, ya soft-headed sonuvabitch. How we gonna run reform when we’re the damn incumbent?
  10. dem·a·gogue /ˈdeməˌɡäɡ/ noun a political leader who seeks support by appealing to the desires and prejudices of ordinary people rather than by using rational argument.
  11. My guess is that he openly declared his intent to enter the portal and Sark said, “good luck, son.”
  12. What. The. Fuck. The fact that Trump won yesterday does nothing to justify or vindicate the perpetrators of January 6th.
  13. The folks who get "We the People" tattooed on their forearms or wrapped on their Ram truck sure do seem to be focused on me, myself, and I.
  14. I’m gonna go watch the last two episodes of “Agatha All Along” for an Aubrey fix.
  15. My BIL and his stepsons came to visit in July and brought a shitload of Michelob Ultra and ended up leaving nearly a case when they left. It’s been taking up real estate in the beer fridge for months. I don’t normally drink that swill, but I guess tonight’s as good a night as any to make a dent in it.
  16. My Tesla got a software push last night that let FSD vote for me.
  17. I wanted to vote early, but just could not afford to wait 2-3 hours at the one early voting location last week. I figured that it would be much quicker to wait until today and go vote at my local polling station in Glenpool. Still had a 1 hour wait in line today. Turnout is nuts.
  18. More fuckery happening on Twitter:
  19. Anyone who is "not decided" is not going to watch a Bernie vid. What a waste of effort.
  20. Gra-haaaammm. Come out to play-ee.
