    What racial group did Kaepernick compare to monkeys?

    There's probably worse examples of country-rap, but goddamn this one for (presumably) inspiring more of this shit.

    You know, all those times...Obama and all.

    I went to the Mohawk show last night. It was great, as expected. Hooky always delivers. The crowd was kind of douchey, though. Peter Hook had to single a guy out early on to be ejected ("You, in the hat there - you'll need to fuck off then"). I never understand why people think they need to mosh at a show like this.

    I saw Crosby last night at the Paramount (here in Austin), and the only political thing he said was, "things are supper shitty right now, so instead of talking about politics, lets just enjoy music for two hours." He did close the show with "Ohio", though. Amazing show, all in all. His band, including James Raymond, is excellent.

    No doubt that they love it, slobber on it, take it up the arse on the regular.

    His brand of stupidity seems to be highly influential.

    Yet? It's been 8 1/2 years.

    This post smells like aggy (proper aggy).

    88% of black voters voted for Clinton, 65% of Latinos for Clinton. The Latino number is a little down compared to what Obama got, but how is this not getting support from minorities? https://ropercenter.cornell.edu/polls/us-elections/how-groups-voted/groups-voted-2016/

    Typo, good grief. I've voted for a Democrat in every presidential election since Bill Clinton's first term.
  16. Dirk X West
    I agree with that, but what it's come to is, instead of pulling things back in the right direction - which to me is back to the left - the Democrats have conceded the terms of the debate and are just fighting for the status quo. You may disagree, but I suspect that that's partly because they are content with the status quo. I mean, isn't that a big reason that Hillary lost, because she thought that support from minorities along with economically well off liberals (i.e. people happy with the status quo) was enough to win?
  17. Dirk X West
    Because I voted for Hillary? What?
  18. Dirk X West
    Ok. What about the policies of the current Democrat party do you find to be characteristically left?
  19. Dirk X West
    Look, right now, the Ds no the can vote in lockstep against the Rs as their strategy is to be 100% anti-Trump. I get it. This still doesn't change the overall trends, and it really makes no difference as to what actually happens.
  20. Dirk X West
    It's only vast in the perspective of current American politics. In comparison to the range of political positions you see in other developed nations around the world, our "left" party is quite conservative.
  21. Dirk X West
    Yes, that's one example, but it still passed did it not?
  22. Dirk X West
    Sorry, I wish there was a difference, but if there is, it's small. If you notice, things have been trending in a particular direction, and that trend has only, if anything, just slowed a bit during the (admittedly brief) recent periods when the Ds have had control of one or more houses of Congress. Obama did nothing end our imperial wars in the Middle East, for ex. There may well be individual Ds that have principles and speak out against tax cuts for the rich and increased defense spending, but other Ds vote for those things and they still happen. If you think the Ds aren't the GOP lite now, you aren't paying attention. Hillary is about as conservative as Nixon, again, if you leave aside social issues. Funny pictures don't change that.
  23. Dirk X West
    Yeah. I was just hoping, I guess.
  24. Dirk X West
    This is the thing. Trump is a goddamn embarrassment, but the two parties mostly differentiate themselves by where they stand on a few hot button social issues (abortion, gay marriage, etc.). They vote mostly the same on the big issues because that's what they're paid to do.

    It's worth noting that none of the top three teams (or TCU) has played TTU to this point.
