  1. Why would you vote for Abbott? What part of Beto’s platform are you against? We’ve seen what Abbott does and Beto isn’t a better choice based on policy alone?
  2. I have family on government assistance. Step sister got out of a bad situation. She has three kids and a high school education. She works and does the best she can. If we can spend $1.2 trillion on a failed / shitty plane, we can take care of our lower income / poor. No one should starve in this country. At least California made it illegal to throw away perfectly good food.
  3. The “it’s not fair” adults only look out their window. How is it fair an 18 year old can take out $100k in student loans, but there is no way in hell they could get a $100k loan for a house? How is it fair that companies and any other kind of debt is bankruptable, but student loans aren’t? How is it fair that minimum wages have stayed stagnant for far too long? My 10 year old says “that’s not fair.” I expect better from adults, but here we are.
  4. I don’t think we have a choice. Bush 1 got Ukrainian to give up its nukes with the promise we (and others) would defend them. Or at least that’s what I’ve been fed by some of the propaganda machines
  5. Or stop eating at restaurants. If you do go, plan a head. Take half home or share a plate.
  6. I have not seen Slorch’s don’ts. Where / what are they?
  7. The poor communities usually have fewer polling locations that are easily accessible (thanks to the Texas GOP there are even less). Harris County now has 1 drop box for a county of how many million people? How many of those communities are poor?
  8. If the ID costs any money at any part of the process, that’s a poll tax.
  9. The issue is that getting said ID must be FREE in all steps. Also, it needs to be easily achieved. There are seniors without birth certificates. It’s costs money to get a new on, assuming they even can. You can’t just look out your window and proclaim that if you can do it and my neighbor can, any one can. Oh, and for it needing to be free: the 24th amendment abolished poll taxes.
  10. My roommate at Contessa freshman year (96) had a membership there. He’d rent something and leave it playing in the common room most Sunday mornings.
  11. No. They are more interested in trying to find gotcha moments. It’s all they have.
  12. And he’s right. Look at Florida and their laws. Look at what Ken Paxton just tried to pull off in Texas. Trump wants people to “count properly “ which means for GQP folks.
  13. Ken Paxton said the quiet part out loud again today.
  14. No problem with a voter ID if it and all paper work to get one is free and easily acquired. If it costs $1 at any point in the process, that’s a poll tax and is unconstitutional.
  15. Considering our own AG Paxton wants to be able to throw out any votes he deemed questionable. So, yeah, I believe that if the voters rights bill doesn’t pass, we are fucked. Hell - just look at the change of my TX-22 district. It’s a complete farce and fuck the Texas GOP for drawing lines like this.
  16. Because there are people that want to nuke Russia over a cyber attack. The war machine is losing money when bullets aren’t flying.
  17. Same. I’m there for racing, not a military advertisement.
  18. Not for him and if he can do it, anyone can. [emoji2357]
  19. I weigh daily out of curiosity. My main thing is following the measuring tape.
  20. Step-Dad gave me this for my birthday. I know little about them other than Seiko movement. It wears big, but I’m good ok with that. It’s a Tsar Bombo.
  21. I’m starting this process now. I have an old external drive that I need to update and want cloud plus new external as a back up. I’ll be following along.
  22. Is he wrong? World wide protests, a defund the police movement, BLM movement, new laws / rules for cops… If we are talking specifically Dr Kings assassination, he’s not off base.
  23. That’s the quiet part that’s being done. This is good. Thank you.
