That whole season inspired me to write a very long essay about it. I read it whenever life is looking like shit, which translated to 4 times since the pandemic set in. Doubt any of you fuckers would want to read the description of 4th and 5, though.

Exactly. Science isn’t a matter of belief vs disbelief. It’s a matter of acceptance vs rejection.

Yeah that’s totally realistic.

Also no gambling, but churches are free to scam people out of their money free of repercussion or even tax.

Only to distinguish those threads from the ones that afflict the reader with mere diabetes:

Dude, you need to put a warning label on that: reading this thread causes normal human beings to become afflicted with brain cancer.

Look, we know what this is. They're trying to do a pseudo end-run of Roe by not categorically banning all abortions by adding these ridiculous qualifiers into these laws. That's what these cocksuckers do: they try to find loopholes and they fuck them to death. And we know why they do it too. They know full well that outlawing abortion isn't going to make it go away. In fact, that's the exact same argument they give against gun control; that if you pass such restrictive laws, it won't get rid of guns completely. But what they also know is that abortion restrictions overwhelmingly are targeted against people not in a position of financial security. It's easy for some rich blonde cunt in Plano to get an abortion even if it's illegal in Texas. If she can't get it in Texas, she'll just have her husband fly her out to some blue state where it'll get done. Financially insecure people don't have that. So what you'll have is a bunch of lower-middle to lower class women getting pregnant, either trying unsafe techniques/methods for aborting the child or having the child born into a home that never really wanted it and not having any means to support it. "Oh but that's ok because they'll have medicaid, food stamps, welfare, etc." Not if GQP's get their way. They're dead set against those things for reasons that have nothing to do with what they say they do. They say it's for budgetary concerns, but it's hard to save dollars when you're only looking where mere pennies are spent and ignoring where the actual dollars are spent. "Oh but that's ok because they can opt to give up the child for adoption." They can, but that's still a burden on the biological mother especially if she's on her own. And that's in a country where 84% of the states do not have paid maternity leave. And they will still have to take leave unless we're saying it's socially acceptable to expect a women to work until the minute she goes into labor, has the child, and comes back all in the same fucking work day window. Think that's an exaggeration? Nearly 60% of Americans say they live "paycheck to paycheck." Think they can miss a day of work in the 42 states that have no paid maternity leave? Oh and are you ("you" being a fanatic clown of the religious right) going to be the one to adopt it? "Oh but she can just apply for unemployment if she loses her job." Again, not if the GQP has its way. "Oh but that's ok because the child will at least be educated in our guaranteed public education system." Yes, and what a wonderful system it is! It's the same system that teaches Abstinence Only education in the states that have the highest rates of teen pregnancy, repeat teen pregnancy, and abortion! Just think of the multiple generations of unwanted children, one after the other! This is the colossal failure that the teachings and policies of the religious right have always been. If they were really concerned about abortion: -They would support sex education being taught in public schools -They would know that abortion accounts for a small fraction of the services that organizations like Planned Parenthood provide and would therefore actively support their existence. They would also support the idea that those organizations be publicly financed to the point where they can have free contraceptives. -They would support adequate public education -They would support legislating a living wage into existence -They would support universal healthcare ...you know, shit that other first world countries have. When people are willing to concede those points, I'll be glad to hear what they have to say about abortion. But if one is a sick lunatic that envisions a society in which abortion is illegal, medicaid/welfare/food stamps don't exist, public education is a total failure, et al, I have no desire to speak with one about this topic because such a person's thinking is so narrow as to only be summarized as a regurgitation of assumed teachings in primitive religious texts. Those minds are worth less than the dust I just cleared off of my coffee table. EDIT: I know full well nothing I said above is brand new information to people who know their ass from a hole in the ground, but it nonetheless bears repeating to remind everyone of how twisted, perverted and depraved the minds of the so-called "Pro Life" contingency really are.

I see

I wouldn’t ever bet against this, but is there any evidence to support this? I’ve never heard this story.

Nah, you ain't about that life.

You could say he’s wiggity whack.

Watching the Pauls fight can lead to brain cancer and strokes. Serious character issues going on with those claiming to be fans of theirs.

What makes you think RFK does anything different about Vietnam?

Nah, they’re just lies. When you knowingly assert baseless speculation as if it were a matter of fact, that’s fucking lying and that’s what the right wing is exclusively devoted to.

What point in the game? I totally missed this and wasn’t sitting near anyone to overhear them talking about it.

Sounds like you need to shit too

I just read the back half of this thread. I need to take a shit

I must have missed this. What happened?

That and they stumble and fall over themselves trying to defend their position with logic that's more tortured than an Abu Ghraib prisoner.

Oh probably either 2015 in the playoffs against Waco Midway or 2013 in Week 1 against Aledo. EDIT: Those 2 home losses in the Randy Allen era were brutal as well (Pulaski 2015 and Frisco Lone Star 2019)

Yep. No chance in fucking hell that they get to continue practicing law absent paying those fines. Oh I can almost literally guarantee they'll be getting book deals. Likely won't last for long as their base audience 1) doesn't read very well unless there are funny pictures and pop ups in the books and 2) will likely die out due to COVID-19 stupidity (coupled with old age and/or obesity), but that's their next grift stop.

Yeah that really was hard to hear. For those who didn’t,
