  1. Yeah. You should ask her what she's going to think if Trump is succesful in repealing medicare.
  2. The best past about this is that, whether or not Texags stop bringing on Hart, the fact that he had to go through this exercise at ALL has to sour the fuck out of him. If I were him, I would 100% be sharpening by backhanded compliments as it relates to Texas A&M in every single game going forward. You can't deal with this shit and not alter your perception of a school and it's fans. And that shit bleeds through from every broadcaster I've ever listened to as well. They whine and moan all the time about how Texas owns the media and dictates all media narratives, and then they go out and literally piss of a national broadcast media guy, and they wonder why they get drug by everyone. They fucking do it to themselves, not just on the field, but in every other possible way managable. "Why is our fanbase so full of snowflakes?" They're so close to fucking getting it, but of course they never will...
  3. Selective enforcement can be a thing, sure, but there's no such thing as selective believing, at least on the part of the immigrants in this scenario. And by that, I mean, sure, Trump can say behind closed doors he won't raid the chicken plant, or the hog farm, or the state of Florida, but what he can't do is go on TV and say "Listen, we're not going to target illegals that work in x, y, and z industry." So guess who isn't still going to show up for fucking work? Or guess who's going to get arrested in their homes instead of at work? And another thing to consider is Trump is 82, and he's succesfully avoided jail. If he doesn't die in office, he's already safe, and that's if we don't "elect" him again for a third term. This guy doesn't need campaign donations anymore. He probably doesn't care about them. And what would someone do, try to report that they bribed Trump but he didn't follow through? He's untouchable at this point save the hand of another Luigi.
  4. Frame it as a question. "Dude, don't you think it would be much easier to move to one of those states than to expect to create change in a state that has showed little interest in doing so?"
  5. Good point. NOw that I think about it my preferred brands of milk were also super low. What does chicken usually cost? The HEB natural was like 4.50 a lb, and that feels high? Have to assume that they'll just stop updating this website shortly: https://www.bls.gov/cpi/
  6. You should tell him that. And you should suggest that he move to one of those blue states that take care of the disabled.
  7. As was mine this week, which is in the Heights are of Houston. The shelves were completely bare, regardless of brand more or less, and the guy was restocking as I was there so I grabbed a dozen just becuase. Also, the price was up 50% compared to the last time I got eggs a few weeks ago. I'm guessing this is the situation at every HEB in Texas at this point.
  8. Well he’s threatening to sue or pull licenses for news agencies/networks that say bad things about them. And news is a for profit industry nowadays. Can’t make money if Trump takes you off the air.
  9. Do we think bird flu will not only jack up the price of eggs, it also chicken as well? I haven’t been to the store yet but I’m more inclined than usual to pay attention to the costs. It will be interesting to see if we get red meat shortages, how the costs of ever other substitute will behave. And by interesting, I mean “this will suck.” Sadly, at this point, even if we use bare store shelves I fully don’t expect the media to even blame trumps policies. Certainly not on Fox News.
  10. I use my vitamix, and it works great, fwiw. why would using your ninja make it limited to just that stuff?
  11. It has bene a fucking MASSIVE success, even with early days of data. There's been a lot of articles written about what a huge boon it's been for America, in just the early days. And yet here we are. https://apnews.com/article/mike-johnson-chips-act-d5504f76d3aa0d5b401216f3592c9a09
  12. I can make a legitimate case for tariffs and national security for some things, if we're talking about an exercise in good faith. You want to slap tariffs on China for electronics, to force American companies to manufacture everything start to finish here in the US, to prevent China from putting in codes and listenting devices into fucking everything and spying on us, and preventing them from constantly tealing our intellectual property? Well ok. You want to force companies to move supply chain for pharmacitcals here, in case we go to war with someone who produces 90% of our insulin, as a simple illustration? Sure. The idea is to spur domestic production of things that could be a real problem if one day the US woke up and didn't have access to things anymore. But the Republican Party isn't interested in actually playing this game/exercise in good faith. Otherwise they wouldn't be fucking talking about rescinding the motherfucking CHIPS act. It's about placating their orange diety, grifting, throwing a tantrum, or all 3.
  13. We're all family here, there's no reason to be formal. BillFromLakeTravis2.0 works fine.
  14. Lots of articles linked 2-3 days ago. See multile pages of discussion on this topic in this very thread:
  15. Holy Yesterday's News Batman!

  17. Jesus, whay JimmyJazz said. I've posted the recipe here at least twice. It's beyond easy and fucking deeeeeeelicious. I don't put the cilantro in mine, despite loving cilantro, as I've found that it makes the sauce go bad faster.
  18. Lol. The Dems can't explain the grift in a way that makes news coverage, much less on the networks the idiots watch, for half the country to even SEE. Much less UNDERSTAND. Just accept we're broken. I already think about the ways I teach my kid about America just being a place his parents had to live.
  19. So you didn't actually watch our games, eh?
  20. Since were talking doctors, my mother (78) has a GP who told her the Covid vaccine isn’t safe, and it’s causing strokes and heart attacks in younger people in numbers we shouldn't be seeing. Ironically, my mother is relatively sane and believes subject matter experts. So she now thinks the covid vaccine is why my sister had a stroke at 50, not because she’s morbidly obese with high blood pressure and no health insurance and stopped taking her BP medication. It was the vaccine. I told my GP about this at my physical last week and she legitimately was sad and seemed interested in me finding the name of my mom’s doctor so she could report the doctor to the medical board. Doctors can be idiots too. So Ragde, can you tell us your doctor’s name?
  21. This is so wierd, I basically view both of you as the same person /ducks
  22. Not Close Ding Ding Ding. My anecdotal note here is we went to Aberdeen for a buddy of mine's bachelor party...at this point, had to be around 2010 or 2012. We rented a van and a driver to take us all around some scotch distilleries. On the very scenic drive, we were driving past said wind farms and I guess were somewhere near his golf club. The driver starts telling us about what a fucking clown Trump is, and how he was trying to sue to take down all the windmills out in the sea because he thought it ruined the views from his golf course. The locals all thought he was a stupid POS. A few years later, we elected him president, and he hates fucking windmills.
  23. The bond stuff I thought was as because we didn’t formally join the sec till July.
