    My Mexican ancestors were all on this side of the Rio going back I think 4 generations. One of my grandmothers was born in Mexico but crossed when she was 3 years old and was documented as a US Citizen. I really wish there was a way to get Mexican citizenship just in case. My brother in laws mother was born in Mexico and he obtained dual citizenship several years ago. I’m pretty fucking jealous. My only escape plan is to move closer to my wife’s extended family in Connecticut, I’d like to be physically present there when the republic collapses and Texoma becomes a full independent theocracy.

    Pretty sure there is 100% overlap between people begging Joe to step down and people who begged him to replace Kamala as VP both last cycle and early this cycle.
  3. 'stache
    What country are you living in bro, because it ain’t the USA.
  4. 'stache
    So what democrat replacement would be perfect enough to gain your support? Do you speak for all "moderates" etc?
  5. 'stache
    That's sort of my point, the replacement has to be perfect, and none of them are. The second they say something nice about trans people or immigrants, they'll get hammered for being "too extreme." Biden has a four year record of success he can campaign on to counter those attacks. Replacements don't. Again, nobody knows for sure, I'm just thoroughly convinced that a replacement would lose as much or more support for any number of reasons than would be gained. The discussion seems to be about "moderates" and "centrists" and I just don't have any confidence that anything from the left will ever please them, all indications are that they are republicans who just don't want to be considered maga. And yes, the second part is my fucking lived experience.
  6. 'stache
    Yes, I've seen the parts that people are talking about. Have you not seen him speak before or after the debate?
  7. 'stache
    So we're still ignoring the words that actually came out of their mouths, cool, cool. The worst debate performance of all time was Trump 2020 when he literally wouldn't shut the fuck up and rambled about nonsense, including the size of his own fucking dick. Anyone remember that? Of course not, because bullshit.
  8. 'stache
    Good luck. The NY Times and friends don't seem to give a shit nor does magastan obviously. It's on display literally every single fucking day. He rants about how democrats are gonna take your water away and kill you with boat batteries. Biden talks about ongoing wars and the economy and his administrations accomplishments. Headline "Biden Mental Accuity In Question." Nothing about what either actually said or have accomplished. Our country has lost any semblance of rationality.
  9. 'stache
    He has been ever since, and yet here we are, still talking solely about the debate. I just don't get it.
  10. 'stache
    No democratic ticket will ever win a landslide in this country. We're all just speculating at this point. I think if you replace Biden you lose some support and gain some support, and I truly think the lost support will be bigger than what might be gained. Appealing to the "youths" is not a winning strategy, period. They're supposed to save us every 4 years and it never pans out, especially now since a huge block of young political interested liberals are hung up on Gaza thinking that Biden can stop what's happening there, when the reality is he's gone about as far as he can without losing a huge block of support from older Democrats, you know, the ones who actually vote. I mean, the fact that Rex "I Swear I'm Not MAGA (wink)" Kramer is pressing for Kamala tells you all you need to know, there is just too much racism and misogeny in this country, it's a losing proposition. Again, that's my very strong opinion, but nobody knows for sure what would happen.

    The Lakers really do seem like a real mess, just making money off James while the still can. They don't seem to really have much momentum to overcome the Western Conference teams that are thriving like Denver, Minneapolis, and the Mavs got even better this week. I also saw a headline that Slovenia lost to Croatia and Luka did well but still looked hurt. I know home country pride is really meaningful, especially in Europe, but I selfishly hope they don't make the Olympics so he can just rest for a while and get back to 100%.

    Three episodes in and enjoying it, especially episode one. Only skimmed this thread to avoid spoilers, will check back in when I finish the season, but agree with some of what I saw about the fighting. It kind of gets old after a while. Also, Carmy is the trained guy, portrayed as a sort of genius in this world. I get wanting a more collaborative environment than in his past, but at some point shouldn't the other's see that and either get on board with his perfectionism or go to a different kitchen? I'm also not quite getting the hate for Sydney, including in prior seasons. I actually dislike Richie a whole lot more. His redeeming moments don't overcome the rest of his personality. I feel like I've known someone like that in my past and when he gets riled up it makes me cringe a little, really obnoxious. The character that is, the actor is terrific.
  13. 'stache
    That's certainly some police work there, Lou.
  14. 'stache
    He's had at least two public appearances since then and looked fine for his age. But don't let that get in the way of a good ole fashioned "trump is bad, but...."
  15. 'stache
    Yup. All republicans back their guy. Today a dem politician calls for their candidate to step down. Pure insanity.

    In case the information purge doesn't work, I just want to reassure whoever is listening that I am definitely not a person of Hispanic heritage. Nope, my last name is by adoption, they were super white too, I promise. OH and I my skin tans quickly and it manages to stay for a very long time, it's just the sun, super healthy doses of sun, I spend a lot of time outside, and am good at avoiding tanlines. Definitely no genetic darkness on my skin. Viva America! .... I mean "God Bless the USA!" I don't know what viva means, is that slang from Alabama? I meant the paper towels, promise.
  17. 'stache
    It doesn't apply, but parties get to argue for and against, hence delay, which is part and parcel of what the SCOTUS politicos wanted.
  18. 'stache
    I mean the scenarios after the election. Worst case scenario under a Biden second term is that he dies or goes full catatonic and his competent staff and VP continue the work. Best case scenario under a trump second term is that he golfs all day, does nothing, and we become a bigger laughing stock in the world stage, keeping in mind that it is far more likely that he’ll follow through with the worst of his proposals including appointing the worst people to the cabinet.
  19. 'stache
    It's not hard to fathom because we're a country full of disinterested voters, but I think it's absolute lunacy to think the worst case scenario under Biden is the same or worse than the best case scenario under trump.
  20. 'stache
    I disagree with your characterization, but even if you are 100% correct, do you really see that as worse than the alternative? Sometimes, this year in particular, it's just as important to vote against someone that it is for someone else. Worst case scenario his very competent cabinet and/or VP do the work for the next 4 years. That should be good enough considering what is happening in this country.
  21. 'stache
    No Democrat will ever please all of the "independents" or "centrists." You replace Biden, you'll gain some and lose some. But sometimes, even if you hate both candidates, the "lesser of two evils" is way, way, way lesser. That's where we are currently. If you don't like Biden, fine, go vote against trump, who is a legitimate threat to democracy.
  22. 'stache
    So another person who only watches debates and nothing else. Cool.
  23. 'stache
    I mean, you do realize how this works, right? Newsome: "Too California, what a nightmare" Whitmire: "Another Hillary, too emotional, should probably smile more" Buttigieg: "A gay? No wai" Kamala: "DEI candidate, also prosecuted Black people." There will always be something that democrats will say "ehrmagerd moderates won't vote for them dooooooooooooom" None of them have a 4 year record of success to run on, and a lifetime of moderate positions. Switching now would be a full blown disaster, period. If you or others are ok staying home in November because of a bad debate performance, the fascism is their fault. Again, why is the right not constantly calling for the fascist to step down? Because the game is rigged and 75% of the country's citizens are dumber than dirt.
  24. 'stache
    Um, no, maybe, just maybe, the American public should be turned off by fascism? Nah, blame the democrats, always their fault.

    That's another Soonervision touchdown for Ollie Gordon, brought to you by the Cleveland County District Attorneys Office! In today's landscape it's not really as absurd as it sounds.
