  1. Did you know that Republicans are the party that ended slavery?
  2. You saw this shouldn't be a close election over and over, and the ONLY WAY to make it Not A Close Election is to appeal and get votes from motherfuckers who didn't vote for your canddiate last time. Period. Fucking Period. And yet you sit here whining and bitching about any efforts to peel off those fucking voters. It makes zero fucking sense. Maybe the progressive wing should stop bitching about whinning undecided votes and get the fuck out there and whip their own votes from the impressively fickle far left, who always look for reasons to stay home. I know R voters voting D this time, so no, I do not. What I absolutely do not know is that the far left will show the fuck up and make a difference for once, becuase I don't think I've seen that one yet in my adult life. Maybe Obama, I guess.
  3. Maybe chainsaw thinks that counties work like electoral votes within states.
  4. Ok, well, I'm a citizen of Houston, and even if I ignore that he preaches hateful politics from the pulpit, and violates the law of churches being political with impugnity, they've covered up and overlooked at least two publicitied rape and sexual assault cases for employees who worked for Second Baptist. It sounds super duper upstanding, I'm sure lead by righteous men
  5. I mean, the Medicare at home shit is great. She's been playing the hell out of it. How much more can she play out of it? You expected her to exceed the numbers of a popular governor IN his state? That seems reasonable to you?
  6. By what metric. Please show the supporting data that this should be a blowout. Sadly, as we often have to point out to republicans, their fucking feelings aren't Data, and neither are yours. Well, it's been a few weeks of him being mostly normal. I suppose it was about time for him to start flinging shit around the room. You can almost set your clock to it.
  7. I want to see the data that says giving Independants who don't think like you permission to pull the D lever was a bad thing. You wave your farts around like they're truth and demand data, we can do the same thing. So where's your date? I'll also take data that Your Views represent The Democratic Base. I'd like an answer to this statement directly, honestly. Has she? How much time has she spent exactly. I'd like the see The Data that you claim exists. Hell, I'll accept a list of conservatives and the time she's spent. You realize Liz Cheney going on a TV program by herself and campaigning for Harris doesn't actually cost the Harris campaign any time, right? And again, this isn't the NeverTrumper Vote. It's the D curious vote. Huge difference. Yeah, but did you cum?
  8. Ah. Here we go. You mean the single issue progressive left that probably will find a reason to stay at home anyway? which policy hasn’t she energized the base with yet? Do we need to have another conversation where we explain to you that your views do not represent The Democratic Base?
  9. It makes more sense that Piers Morgan is kind of a blatant racist, and his brain got fucking broken when Meghan Markle basically stood his ass up to go on a date with her now husband, a literal British Royal who made her a princess. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/video/piers-morgan-storms-off-good-morning-britain-after-heated-meghan-markle-discussion-thr-news/
  10. I feel like an underground bunker would just find one way or another to fucking flood. Yeah, my first thought was "they needed a fence double that size. Not sure 10 ft is going to be enough.
  11. Woman are thanking their caucasian relative of various degrees for voting fo supporting women's rights.
  12. The elections in this country are so fucked. I've completely come around to the idea that taxpayer dollars should fund candidate elections equally, and that's fucking it. We need to outlaw political commericals, we need to outlaw all fucking social media advertising. Campaigning should be rallies, town hall interviews, and fucking debates, and those should be posted unedited and aired on telivision live and in replays over and over, and that should fucking be it. Crack down on most of the ways to fucking lie easily. Fuck.
  13. The same way God thinks Florida is living their lives wrong?
  14. Certainly the guy who rented him the boat won't get his insurance paid out when he has to tell the adjustor "well, yeah, I rented it to a guy who wanted to sail it into the hurricane" right?
  15. Guys, here’s a real shocking conspiracy; Lots of people on fema of all ranks might be deployed in NC and TN and GA at the moment. I suppose some people think FEMA should already be in Tampa waiting to get wiped off the planet as opposed to staged elsewhere or helping other devastated communities.
  16. Imagine getting news from a guy named HealthRanger who's top 3 posts are WEAPONIZED WEATHER. Good news everyone, he has over a quarter million followers and that post has been viewed half a million times...
  17. Nono, it's fine when HE does it to his followers. Just not other demons and shit.
  18. No, but you can mock the fuck out of it and make them feel stupid as fucking shit in the process. Fucking weirdos. "That's a great worldview. It allows you to think critically about nothing, never question any of your own beliefs, and never even bother to grow as a human being and a child of God. I for one believe this a magnificent and complex world God created for us, and he'd want us to understand it and continue to grow. You apparently want to squander all the gifts he's given you by living in ignorance. Also, I don't believe God would let demons and the supernatural kill millions of his faithful followers."
  19. It sounds like engaging in Diplomacy being illegal when he is not an elected or appointed offiical of the US government is still an illegal act. Which is what dumbshit claimed it wasn't. Whether or not we decide to bring prosecution to bear on people who do illegal shit seems like an entirely different fucking problem. As opposed to saying "Well, no one will charge him so it's not really illegal."
  20. I'm fully aware man, I've lived in Houston for 40 of my almost 45 years on this earth, and through all of that. When I say Rita would have fucked up Houston, I meant the wind and infrastructure.. Hence my reference to Beryl. A derecho in may and a cat 1 in july had me without power for 20 days total this summer.
  21. I feel like engaging in "diplomacy" when you are not, in fact, an elected or appointed official of the United States and acting in that capacity, is in fact, quite illegal. I'm pretty sure it's called the fucking Logan Act.
  22. Don't keep going down the rabbit hole. It will just lead to uncontrollable sorrow as to where we are as a country and what we've become. What you just read was child's play compared to some of the poison he's spouted recently.
  23. Even if some abuse it, some won't. That alone likely a net benefit. And if the elder in question chooses to go into a home, well, that will still be an option too. We can't legislate to account for every shitty human out there. Tell me you haven't been paying attention to these threads and Trump's truth social statements without telling me. This is compelling, but at the end of the day I can't agree with it. Becuase it would ipmly that as an asset, he's actually excelled at being a Russian asset, and I just can't square that this motherfucker has done anything competent in his life.
  24. Yeah, would it have been as bad as Katrina? Propably not. That being said what Cat 1 Beryl did to our infrastructure makes me skeptical AF it would have been fine. Perhaps it really was the last 12+ years since Ike that Centerpoint has really let things go to shit. But people also forget just how badly Rita fucked up the sabine pass.
  25. This subtle shift, if it holds, likely saves billions of dollars in damages to Tampa. Fingers crossed. Everyone has a hard time accepting their responsibility in various ills in this world, both large and small. You want an example? Look at kids and their relationships with their parents. Your/Our parents may have thought belting kids who misbehaved or talked back was normal, and instilled discipline, and was in the long run good for the kid's future. Check back in a couple decades...and that's a pretty traumitizing thing for a number of kids. Or other children who had parents dismiss their emotions and say "suck it up, kid" have left vast swaths of kids emotionally distant with their parents and dont feel like they can even interact with their parents. And how many of those boomers can look back and say "Man, my actions may have had unintended consequences I didn't see at the time" on one hand while still saying "Man, I thought I was doing the best I could at the time." It's a pretty difficult balance between "I am not going to feel bad for providing for my family as best as possible and won't view how I did it as bad" and "Man, I did the best I could and didn't know a better way." Arguably that mental block humans all suffer from is a instinctive reflex that has allowed this species to survive and thrive. Because we can't/don't accept accountability for shit.
