  1. Mexico should create a path to citizenship for Americans of Mexican heritage going back several generations. My family is 4th generation born on this side of the Rio but retains a lot of ethnic Mexican culture (with some distinctly South Texas/American differences). My brother in law’s parents were born in Mexico and he got dual citizenship a long time ago. I’m very jealous, they have a legit exit plan. I’m pretty much stuck in this shithole country and also fear for my children. If this continues they’ll probably make it illegal for Americans to study abroad or even leave for more than a few days at a time. My kids also have a z at the end of their last name like me and we know where that’s heading even now regardless of citizenship. There’s no hyperbole anymore, the most outrageous shit is clearly on the table. We’ve learned there is no bottom.
  2. I met Berry recently and wanted to tell him to put me on retainer and the first contract review would be free. It would’ve taken me 0.60 billable hours to tell him not to sign that shit and don’t trust those cunts for anything.
  3. Why would SEC be against 5-11? SEC would get the majority of those 11 every year. Big 10 is probably against it because they want the 4 guaranteed spots, there will likely be years they get less than 4 if everything is at large. I’m surprised Yormark favors it because the other proposal gives them 2 guaranteed spots and there will likely be years that only the champ gets in if everything is at large. Am I missing something? Also nobody is “telling SEC what to do,” these are negotiations leading to agreement and SEC will probably get its way eventually because they’ll have support of the networks. Maybe he’s referring to Big 10 saying they wanted to see SEC play 9 game conference schedule? I think there are plenty of others in favor of that including the networks paying for all of this stuff.
  4. Should be deported … to Florida, the panhandle specifically, asylum for foreign born Floridamen.
  5. I bet those people, at a minimum, didn't fall en masse for "they're eating the dogs" or "those vaccines that elimiated polio and small pox were actually bad for you." Edit to point out i'm extrapolating into post industrial revolution re vaccines.
  6. A bit of overlap from the other thread, just wait to see how he acts in the leadup to the World Cup '26 and Olympics '28. A lot of people holding some pride left will likely give up, especially when the republican party does nothing to stop him while still winning elections. This is who we are now to the rest of the world.
  7. Those regimes were trying to normalize themselves on the world stage and had every reason to behave. Dotard on the other hand is trying to establish his authoritarian credentials. I have no doubt whatsoever that in the months leading to the WC he'll be issuing threats including the Mexico and Central and South American countries that they won't be allowed in unless they pay for a wall and accept planes full of prisoners and detainees. He'll continue crowing about tarriffs too for world leaders he doesn't like. He'll of course never follow through and will lie about how he got them all to agree to his terms. It's his pattern. And its inevitable.
  8. I’ve long found forced displays of patriotism annoying. The words “pledge of allegiance” is creepy, very Big Brotherish. It’s by pure chance that I happened to be born within the US borders. It’s not an accomplishment or reason to have personal pride. I’d like to not be so embarrassed by this country and its voters but again it’s largely out of my control. I do take some pride on a local level because it’s more of a choice where I chose to live and I have tangibly contributed to some of the good things happening in my city. It’s still somewhat arbitrary and it’s not a big deal to me but city pride makes far more sense to me than country.
  9. And because caring about things like trees and animals and nature I generally is like totally gay.
  10. The fact that the military hasn’t turned on this piece of shit is maybe the most concerning thing. He shirsnon them makes it about himself and they still follow. Un fucking believable.
  11. How much can it cost to run a college bowling program?
  12. Not just in private he started a whole fucking thread on Board Discussion crying like a little bitch that people didn’t like him and that it would kill this site, lol. And something about having a bunch of rich friends who would make imma rich but are refusing to do so because too much libs.
  13. Okay cool. Let’s have a non echo chamber discussion. Let’s start with two recent issues. (A) It’s bad foreign relations for Trump to falsely accuse the South African president of white genocide by confronting him with photographs that aren’t of South Africa or white genocide. (B) Noem was wrong when she said that habeus corpus means the president can deport anyone for any reason. Response?
  14. Well we had a four run lead on KU in the seventh and blew it. Should still be a 3 seed in the tourney.
  15. Prime example. How do you have a legitimate good faith non "echo chamber" discussion about whether this is a legitimate way for the president of the United State to conduct foreign relations?
  16. Gotta pay extra for the smell from under that fat suit.
  17. I'm curious what a "good faith" position could possibly be in support of what's happening right now. What's a legitimate good faith reponse to "Donald Trump says Harvard can no longer enroll International students and will deport all current International students." Or "Trump lies to South African President's face about white genocide with false photographs." What about the merits of whether habeus corpus means the president can deport anyone for any reason? Even with immigration policy where there can be legitimate debate on how to manage the influx of persons from Mexico and Central America, how can a discussion be held when their opening position is a blatant lie about Biden having an "open border" and that immigrants are all rapists and murderers? There aren't any more William F. Buckleys left just Ted Cruz and MTG saying nonsense and lies. About the best I can come up with is Rand Paul who has at least seemed to stay consistent on opposing spending and deficits even if it means criticizing the current administration. If Surly and Texags were one website do you think the conversations would be legitimate debates? I just don't see it. I'm with you in being sad about it but I don't see Surly being an "echo chamber" when the majority here is just speaking truth (or at least political truths within reason) while everything else is just blatant lies and hatred for libs and "others."
  18. But let’s keep interjecting about how close to Hitler the regime is and get all butthurt of someone plausibly overstates the comparison. It’s far more important than this type of of going full fascist politicization of the legal system. Fuck this shithole country.
  19. But 1-4 is gonna get an upset every now and then which is fun, or as some would likely interpret, expose a top seed.
  20. He was audibly boo’d at Boone Pickens Stadium several years ago. I was pleasantly surprised.
  21. It’s two different things. Straight seeding this year with 12 team playoff and 4 byes. In 2026 it’s 16 with no byes and I assume straight seeding.
  22. And look at this asshole. It’s just stunning how republicans always misstate how the fucking law works. They’re not this stupid, they’re intentionally lying to give their cult the next talking point. It’s over dude, the Oklahoma Supreme Court’s decision stands. You can’t refile, it’ll be dismissed on claim preclusion. Barrett would have the same reason to recuse anyway. The issue will come back up but it ain’t coming from Oklahoma. Just make it fucking stop already!
