  1. Exactly. I’ve cut off friends from high school that I still spoke to. I can’t trust any of them now. They voted for the guy that labeled me the enemy from with in (plus all the other terrible shit on his platform). So, now we are enemies and I will act in kind. Side note - being a remote employee has paid off. I don’t have to be around an office full of loud Trump supporters (Fortune 300 company in O&G).
  2. This is our go to. Nice corner suite for not much more than regular rooms at some places.
  3. Yep. Wife has a taser. We are looking for a handgun for her now.
  4. Not in my house. My 13 year old thinks these guys are dipshits.
  5. Get your kids ready to pray!! Trump's campaign has outlined a plan that features prayer in public schools, an expansion of parental rights in education, patriotism as a centerpiece of education and an emphasis on the "American Way of Life."
  6. Does this count as FAFO? The fight for Senate Majority Leader is interesting.
  7. Welcome. It’s kinda nice out here in a misery love company kind of way.
  8. Anyone that pushes back gets replaced.
  9. Here’s what I’m actually thinking because I lived it: Anything that allows districts to cut Special Education more and more and get Special Education kids out of the regular classroom - they will do it. Fort Bend ISD’s track record with Special Education is trash. You want it left to the community, yet I know the community only gives lip service to caring about all kids. They hate when special needs kids disrupt the school (at least in FBISD). So, no, leaving everything to the community level is not reasonable. Also - leaving everything to the state (especially in Texas) is not reasonable. State funding for Special Education is being cut. Hell - vouchers are going to gut public education. I get your sentiment. I partially agree with you - teachers should be able to make and adjust curriculum. Districts and the state should also have guidelines / guarantees for FAPE.
  10. Elon Musk, StarLink, missing ballots, Kamala is quiet, and Trump is quiet - HE STOLE THE ELECTION!! The conspiracies are running out there. Kamala lost - our elections are secure until they are proven 100% they aren’t.
  11. Same. They would be reading the Bible everyday and interpreting it wrong. Science would be gone. Houston has already gotten rid of libraries… I’m sure Fort Bend would like to. Etc etc
  12. Ask McConnel, Lindesy and co. Or Vance and Co. it’s part of their plans.
  13. I watch the local news. I mainly watch for the nightly weather. Outside of that, we watch streaming services - either trash reality TV or documentaries.
  14. For now, yes. His Social Security covers almost everything. If that goes, it falls to my sister and I. He’s 93 and did not expect to live this long, so he out lived his plan. Sis and are just outside Surly Rich, so we can handle it as long as he has Social Security. That goes away and some changes will have to happen (he moves in with one of us).
  15. Elon Musk owns Twitter. That is mainstream media online. His market share dwarfs everything else.
  16. My father is already dependent on my sister and I. He voted for the democrat platform and Kamala due to needing social security / VA Benefits/ Medicare. Life long republican and he finally saw the writing on the wall. He told me last week that is now truely is going to be dependent on us.
  17. I hope they get exactly what they voted for.
  18. Have the two wars been ended or does he need another 24hrs to get that done? Is there a grace period?
  19. I thought that was stupid. Made no sense. No one likes Cheney clan.
  20. Who doesn’t use coupons? Free money.
  21. This is us as well. Our taxes aren’t changing. As far as that guy goes- what did he order? Steaks? Oh no, steak doubled. Our grocery bill has stayed the same $225 - $275 for years. The food we have bought might change some, but the line item in our budget is the same. People voted to punch themselves in the face and for women to be further pushed into second class citizens because they can’t shop.
  22. She was already the president for roughly an hour and a half. That ship has sailed.
  23. Manchin wasn’t independent at that point?
