The Royal We

Seriously. Hornsby is being Pollyanna af. If it doesn't effect me and I don't see it with my own eyes then it must not be a real thing. I think there is a bit of boy-cried-wolf effect going on with the notion that this is the most important election in our lives, but I don't know if our Democracy ever recovers from Project 2025 and whatever other authoritarian BS comes out of 2nd Trump term. The tariffs and deportation of 10-12 million people alone will be devastating to our economy. With a cabinet of nothing but yes men and grifters around this time there will be nothing to hold back the worst impulses. I don't know what the best path is towards avoiding it, but I'm pretty despondent this morning after seeing just how old and feeble Biden looked last night. He is just not equipped to confront the jetstream of BS coming out of Trump's mouth. The team that prepared him with a bunch of data instead of nailing down the best zingers to attack Trump should be tarred and feathered today. Fuck everything.

I haven't talked to a single trumpaloo who is even aware there are fake electors facing charges over their "activities" in the 2020 election - and I'm surrounded by trumpaloos. It is absolutely going unnoticed by the vast majority of Republican voters because none of the places where they get their "news" EVER mentions this type of thing.

I was about to say the same thing. Sorry about your reduced range friend-o.

There are 15 pages of results on Airbnb for homes with at least 2 bed rooms that are available to rent for a weekend in the month of August. It's like this everywhere. Even in tiny little towns out in the sticks, you can find a place on Airbnb. https://www.airbnb.com/s/Fort-Worth--Texas--United-States/homes?tab_id=home_tab&refinement_paths[]=%2Fhomes&monthly_start_date=2024-07-01&monthly_length=3&monthly_end_date=2024-10-01&price_filter_input_type=0&channel=EXPLORE&query=Fort Worth%2C TX&place_id=ChIJrQfILRJuToYRvaxp3fiLr6Q&date_picker_type=flexible_dates&flexible_trip_lengths[]=weekend_trip&flexible_trip_dates[]=august&source=structured_search_input_header&search_type=filter_change&search_mode=regular_search&price_filter_num_nights=2&room_types[]=Entire home%2Fapt&min_bedrooms=2 The truth here, like most things, is somewhere in the middle of everyone arguing. Small investors buying run down homes and fixing them up to rent or sell does add value to the system. Not everyone is a blood-sucking vulture like Blackrock just looking to maximize shareholder value however possible. I do think that massive corporations buying up portfolios of SFHs is a big problem that is going to continue to cause all kinds of issues. As long as they don't look to the US Govt to socialize their losses when the inevitable correction comes....

That driver is all out of fucks to give.

Take it from that well known straight shooter, good ole Mike Johnson.

I've got a decent chunk of funds stuck in Yotta too. Total BS that they haven't been able to come up with a solution since 5/11.

Burns has a way with words. He managed to tell people to stop being fucking idiots and vote without offending all but the most delicate of snowflakes. Thanks @Biff Tannen

I don't see how the CBP agents were able to stay so calm. Was he doing a bit so he could post this to the facebooks for clicks?

I know how long a roof of your mouth burn from hot pizza lasts, I guess this dude just stays hammered so he doesn't feel it?

<Hover over the M annnnnd, Ignore> ahhhh, much better.

What is deporting 11 million people going to do to inflation and the economy!? JFC, you think things are expensive now, how much is it going to cost to frame a house/buy a package of strawberries/go out to eat/literally everything that laborers touch? The same stupid fuckers who say things like "no one wants to work anymore" can't see any problems with this? Not to mention the pure evil of ripping that many families apart, but they don't care about that. (probably a welcomed side effect actually)

Did you check out this place? https://www.sulphurspringscamp.com/ It's just up the road from the state park and I've stayed there 3 or 4 times. It's certainly not fancy, but it's got a lot of area for dispersed car camping. We've kayaked down to the park to see the falls and had someone shuttle us back a few times.

What a long strange trip its been IBRX. For once a Doofy YOLO actually worked.

We had the whole family in the closet last night when that system that generated the Madisonville tornado above was heading right at us. It ended up skirting to the north of us but we still had 3.3 in the rain gauge this morning.

Pretty horseshit moderation for sure. Chucklefucks yammering about cracking skulls are likely in an echo chamber of bullshit as far as information goes. Having their nose rubbed in their own heinous hot takes can’t hurt. And it wasn’t political.

Protest related to the Israel Hamas war on our own campus isn’t news related to the Israel Hamas war? chickenshit move. So, because some boot-licking snowflake got his feelings hurt, it’s political?

This. Maybe I've missed it, but I have not seen any videos of protesters throwing rocks or tearing stuff up on UT campus. You can disagree with the message of the protesters while still acknowledging their right to protest and realizing that this level of police response is completely uncalled for. Unless you're a boot licker who jerks off at a show of force I guess.

Embarrassing.

What a bunch of fucking bullshit. God damn this is infuriating. I'm just getting caught up on this thread, but I have seen absolutely no evidence that this type of response and show of force was necessary. Our "leaders" in Texas continue to fail us. Fucking pussies.

I'll have to look more into the Alberto. I know I've tied it before while watching a video, but it's been a while. @Born to Run what kind of UV glue setup do you have? That sounds handy.
