    Also, I'm negging you for the "low information" comment.  YOU are low information.  There's no reason whatsoever for you to feel intellectually superior to anyone.

    Well there are two reasons: Dunning and Kruger

    the fact that the gop lists include "outrageous" and "frivolous" add-ons like minimum wage and voter protection tells me all i need to know.  

    Those are pre-programmed, canned, rubber stamped reflexes by them via 40-odd years of insane, systematic indoctrination and fanatic commitment to believing in things that cannot be believed by a serious person.

    “Hogwash!!! All we need to do is throw more taxpayer money at the ultra wealthy and the corporations, and then it’ll trickle down to benefit the population!!! That’s the solution to everything!!! Everyone else needs to pull themselves up by their bootstraps!!! Harrumph harrumph harrumph!!!”

    Especially since the evidence suggests the exact opposite.  Boomers happily throw away their grandkids' futures for a few more years and a few more bucks.   They've never given a fuck about leaving a functional earth or society after they're gone.  Old people wanting to sacrifice.  That's some funny shit.  This ain't the WW2 generation we are talking about.  Its baby boomers.

    Seriously, they are the Hulk Hogan of generations. Their “accomplishments” are almost 100% media creation and they absolutely refuse to put the young guys over for the good of the business. When power is finally passed from them, it’s going to look a bit like this:

    Dallas ISD has already committed to at home learning. No reason why other districts can't do that. I shudder to think what happens in cities if junior high to high school age kids have nothing to do all day. I doubt we'll go back to a physical school this year but some teacher friends have pointed out we're approaching STAAR time where they basically flip towards teaching to the test every day. The actual learning part of the year ends around Spring Break, at least for K-6. 

    Beat me to it. My niece and nephew are e-learning their DISD stuff as we speak and they (the ISD) seems to be in it for the long haul. Of course, DISD's gonna DISD and they instructed them to stay on schedule with science fair projects (which are due tomorrow), so they effectively encouraged all of us to go out to Wal-Mart, Target, et al to get supplies.

    Eric Dickerson's gold trans am

    Their cheating killed the SWC

    Craig James killed 5 hookers

    Anything I missed?

    The gold trans am was from A&M. SMU gave him a LOT more.

  6. In every culture you have what are called "characters on the national stage." The United States has Sam Harris and Ben Shapiro, France has Bernard-Henri Levy (Michel Foucault came before him), Canada has Jordan Peterson and Irshad Manji, etc.

    Keep up the good fight. 

    Bloomberg was monumental threat to our battered democracy. Warren disemboweled him in public. Thank you Elizabeth. 

    My one issue with this is that Warren had every bit as much ammo to go after Biden in the exact same way. She chose not to, and, if she really is the progressive she claims to be, I have no idea why.

    No—Job 1 is to beat Trump.

    It’s just that in order to beat Trump, Bernie is to be beaten first.

    You’ve got it precisely backwards.

    The DNC would rather be beaten in the general by Trump than have one of their own primaried out by a Bernie.

    Here’s a thought experiment: go to your nearest grocery story, buy a cake, go home and eat it, then see what’s left in the box.

    I really like the new Travis County machines.  It's all electronic, but it then spits out a paper ballot, which has both a bar code and the name of the candidate selected.  You then take that paper ballot over to a scanner.  

    Having the name on the paper ballot does provide some back-up, which I appreciate.

    Not sure if that's a statewide thing now, but the location I had to go to in Dallas County did the exact same thing.

    Good, hope il douche's minions believe it.  Let's get those rally numbers up!!!!!

    What we really need to do is to round them all up, shake them around like rag dolls, beat the shit out of them with weapons a la Mark Fuhrman, and then piss on them before leaving them to rot.

    And I don’t say this as a violent lunatic with zero conception of common sense. I say this because if they can’t be convinced to believe that fucking pathogens exist and can hurt them on the inside, why is that any more or less legit than believing we’d hurt them on the outside by beating the fuck out of them? I mean if you deny the existence of pathogens, why can’t you deny blunt force trauma, which is every bit as scientifically established as fact as pathogens have been? When you deny the existence of pathogens, you’re entering Make Believe and Pretend, and when you do that, there’s just no end to the list of bullshit to which you’ll devote yourself.

    I increasingly do not believe a two-state solution is tenable. The only route forward is a single-state solution with full rights for everyone within that state.

    Those aren’t the only two options that Israel considers. There’s a third option, and that’s “maintain a military occupation and illegal settlements by force until the Palestinians ultimately decide to pack their shit and leave,” which is exactly the course they’re pursuing at the present. Yes, they want the territories entirely to themselves, but let’s not act like they’re in a hurry to solidify it. Yes Bibi is formally proposing annexations, but that’s largely a smoke screen to distract from his indictment.

    When your stated goal is the destruction of a country you're not going to get a lot of support. Israel isn't blameless for damn sure.

    This line of thinking is way too symbol-minded to carry any weight. Besides:

    1. Hamas has since revised its stated goals so as to not include the lines regarding smashing the Zionist entity and all that crap that was written by a handful of people smack in the middle of the first Intifada*

    2. The governing party of Israel is categorically opposed to the creation of a Palestinian state for reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with the Hamas charter*

    3. Far apart from its rhetoric, Israel also acts to implement its desire to create a greater Israel*

    4. Palestine has overwhelming support in the international community*

    *=This statement can be corroborated by irrefutable documented evidence

    Cruz is such a fucking beating.  Is there a single Republican that seems capable of making a friend in real life?

    Her response took her off track though.  The proper response would have been stating that, while she would be more qualified than Pence, she isn't qualified to be the one in charge of the coronavirus response either.  Instead, she fell right into Cruz' trap, defended her own credentials, and let him change the subject.  The subject isn't climate change, abortions, gender identity, or AOC's education.

    Totally agree with this. It doesn’t remove the egg from his face nor the tail between his legs, but there was even a better course she could have taken.

    BUTTIGIEG: This is not about what coups were happening in the 1970s or '80s, this is about the future. This is about 2020. We are not going to survive or succeed, and we're certainly not going to win by reliving the Cold War. And we're not going to win these critical, critical House and Senate races if people in those races have to explain why the nominee of the Democratic Party is telling people to look at the bright side of the Castro regime. We've got to be a lot smarter about this and look to the future.
    ------------------------------

    The past is very important, both in terms of avoiding mistakes and in terms of understanding why what is happening is happening.

    ESPECIALLY in terms of foreign policy.

    But Pete is banking on being Lil' McCarthy, so he's trying to pretend the past doesn't matter.

    Seriously if anyone thinks that Hondurans, for example, are caravaning here because that’s how they roll and not because of a ripple effect from 2009, they’re already admitting they know neither shit nor shinola and just flat out don’t live in the real world.
