  1. Oh there’s a way to stop it. Question is will enough of us have the stomach for it.
  2. Since we’re here talking about cognitive decline, you should know that the FCC is going to mandate the use of closed captions every time Trump speaks by that point.
  3. Not only that but think about all the US Presidents who were voted out after one term. The more recent ones like Bush, Carter, Ford et al didn’t return for a rematch in the following election, but if they had, would any of you suspect that 91% of their former cabinet would refuse to endorse them? I would have voted for Clinton against Bush if Bush decided to take a second crack at him in 1996, but it would have required a traumatic injury to the brain for me to predict that Cheney, Powell, Quayle, Baker, Brady, Dole, et al would refuse to endorse him and that he only received support from Bob Barr and three of the obscure chucklefucks no one remembered.
  4. There’s nothing wonderful about Roberts County or whatever county that went for Abbot in the last go-around to the tune of 90%. Those counties tend to have fewer than 1,000 residents, are located in the middle of nowhere, are socially homogeneous, not to mention backwards politically. That’s just the life of living in a fucking bubble. I’ve done it before. It is an overrated experience. You don’t know what that even means. That’s just another buzzword that you’re parroting. That’s not the cherished, positive thing that you think it is. Yes they’re very much in favor of an amendment that they know neither what it says nor what it actually means. Again, not the positive and cherished thing that you think it is. That’s just another buzzword you do not understand. You were challenged by @immamac very specifically “I want you to seriously explain your position. What is it that you believe in and vote for. It cannot include "bad shit about Democrats" or "what the other side is gonna do if we don't win" What, in very specific terms are you seeking with your vote and hope that all Republicans on every ballot win” and this was the most comprehensive answer you could muster: a buzzword that you do not understand. Another buzzword you know absolutely nothing about. Yeah, everything.
  5. You already know the answer: Republicans aren’t about policy. They’re not about governing. Their voters certainly can’t be bothered to care about such things. If they did, they wouldn’t be republicans. Poe is a paradigmatic example of what it is to be a Republican voter. These are not serious people that have thoughtful policy positions. These are ignorant people who wear a hat (literally) and cheer for a team. You’re seeing it in Poe’s posts when he speaks of “we/they.” That’s what all this shit is to them: a sport in which you cheer for a team. If you could put any of them on a debate stage even against a mediocre talent like Bill Maher, they’d get thrown under said stage, laughed out of the room, tail tucked between the legs, thumb in the mouth, tears coming out of both eyes and begging for the comfort of their mother’s bosom while lying in fetal position. All it amounts to is a pitiful indictment of the American education system that we have this many motherfuckers more infected with Dunning Kruger than Nicky Crane was with AIDS. Of course they don’t consider that. Hell, I personally know people who believe in that feculent “the 2020 election was stolen from Trump” effluvia and point to that exact issue that leads them to believe it: that Trump made marginal gains on the black vote, and therefore (according to their own feeble logic) he had to have made marginal gains in all communities.
  6. The joke was “how do you circumcise a southern Baptist?” The punchline is “kick his sister in the jaw.”
  7. Thread title needs to be changed, and for obvious reasons. This has never been just about abortion. It’s always been about reproductive rights in general. It’s comfortable, I suppose, to think of it as “well the right has evolved but abortion is still a red line…” but no, it’s not. The right is still the same shameless, hypocritical, morally bankrupt, intellectually primitive, superstitious and irrational lot that it’s always been. Since this thread was started, states have moved to ban IVF, to defund (or essentially defund) Planned Parenthood even though they’d already banned the A-word two years previous, the Republicans in the US Senate blocked a bill that would guarantee access to contraceptives as a protected right, a sitting Supreme Court Justice wrote in an (absolutely ghoulishly and piss-poorly argued) opinion that he wants to overturn the prohibitions on sodomy laws, etc. This is plainly not about abortion. It never really was. It’s about sex and reproductive freedom, argued abysmally by puritanical religious assholes who view sex as exclusively a husband’s privilege/wife’s obligation, to be performed in missionary position and for the explicit purpose of producing offspring. They’re lying through their teeth when they tell you otherwise, and you’d be a fool to believe them.
  8. They wouldn’t be the first federal judges that wanted to do that.
  9. (214) 526-3243 It's a place called Perky Poodle and it's located on West Mockingbird at the Lemmon intersection (shopping center where Fuzzy's Tacos and LA Fitness is also located).
  10. Speaking of, here's my pet: 4-year old American Pit Bull Terrier, named Brea, adopted from Operation Kindness in December 2022. Brea was a fatty then but she's gotten the weight down thanks to a controlled, low-protein diet. She's also completely deaf and fairly nearsighted, at least enough to where she only plays fetch indoors (always thinks I'm gonna throw the ball too far in the park). She's also affectionate as hell, playful, and very well behaved. Anyways, those stupid Karens on the pit bull thread are about as clueless and ignorant as it is possible to be.

    Meritocracy

    Oh no, they're the only legit hard working people in the country while those lazy coloreds get all the breaks 🙄 I grew up around all that shit and heard every tedious variation of that argument. It's an absolute crock. This is about as accurate of an illustration of that whole dynamic as it can possibly get: But hey, dittoheads gonna dittohead.

    Meritocracy

    Hell, Mr. America was a better kept secret. Vince McMahon: "Shhhhh. That's not Hulk Hogan. Shhhhhhhh"
  13. Exactly. They're going to make claims like those either way. They've become the Westboro Baptist Church of politics. "There are only two types of people who aren't us: fags pedophiles and fag pedophile enablers."
  14. Regarding the second one, the “blame the D’s” argument only makes sense if you’re one of those mindless fools who’s bucking for a “more moderate” GOP. The GOP has been crazy for decades. Better they be full-on-display crazy rather than all that make believe horseshit they were spewing from 1981-c. 2008 to make them look like the cool calm and considerate types they’ve always pretended to be. We don’t need a more tempered GOP; we need the GOP to die.
  15. Beat me to it. Next guy who begins a post on this thread with “upon further review” or “breaking news” gets two in the balls.
  16. Hell, merge the teams together, call them the Roughnecks and re-birth the Denver Gold.
  17. The mere idea of an interview being given to him by any network other than his mouthpieces is absurd. If any interviewer would actually fact-check him on the spot (and many are capable), he wouldn't be able to get past 3 actual statements in 20 minutes. Catching a Trump lie and correcting it in real time is like...
  18. I have the same view of the 7:00 P.M. kick as King Jaffe Joffer had of tying shoes: it is an overrated experience. Bottom line, if you need an enhancement for the TX-OU game to make it more exciting, you're fucking doing it wrong.
