  1. Let's be clear on what is currently happening right now with regards to ICE detentions and deportations. We were told by multiple levels of executive agencies from the Supreme executive all the way down to local law enforcement that there would be a focus on deporting criminals. I don't think that is something most people have a problem with. If you come here illegally and then go on to commit a bunch of crimes, then that probably wears on the patience of even the more liberal bent Americans. But that is not what is happening. I know from personal experience that the local law enforcement is just looking for any reason to pull over any vehicle they can find that looks like it may have illegal immigrants in it and then handing them over to ICE. My father in law has a landscape business. His workers got stopped for some made up reason in Smith County, and despite not being criminals, ended up with an express paid trip back to Mexico. These were otherwise law abiding guys just trying to make a better life for themselves in a place with actual opportunity for future generations. One, who had worked faithfully for him for like fifteen years, left behind a pregnant wife and an infant. All of my father in law's clients acted shocked that that had happened (not sure why they were shocked, the writing was on the wall when they voted for it). I had to spend my week off last month help out to keep him afloat instead of hunting the rut. The economic fallout from policies like this is going to be catastrophic. Landscape, construction, and restaurant businesses are all going to go under because they cannot get workers to come to work when they are under the threat of having the life they have built up imploded. There is nobody reliable to fill the void. So we are going to be left with massive small business closure and a huge increase in the cost of living due to the related inflation. All due to the idea of brown people = bad. And that doesn't even get into the increase in crime you foster when a whole group of your population is afraid to call the police to report any crime that has been commited on them. We've essentially declared open season on brown people to the more criminal elements of our society. Again, most people probably don't have an issue sending the actual criminals back, but when you start indiscriminately sending the hard working people just trying to make a new life for themselves and their family back for "reasons" then you are going to end up with some serious economic problems that are going to negatively affect everyone.
  2. Thanks. Was partly throwing that out there to see if my phone is just getting too old to work well.
  3. For the past several weeks, anytime there is anything embedded in a thread, whether it be a tweet, a bluesky post, an instragram, or whatever, my screen just freezes on it (doesn't always matter if the embed is loaded or not) for like ten to fifteen seconds. If you keep trying to scroll, the screen still logs the scrolling, and when it unfreezes you end up scrolled down to wherever you scrolled to. I'm on a Galaxy S22 Ultra using Chrome.
  4. Can't eat a Scooby Doo van when you get to the front.
  5. On the second to last episode...is Samuel L Jackson trying to be the new face of Kendra Scott? I guess that’s an entirely untapped market for them to exploit.
  6. Lol, they would just rather people think it is about oil than distracting them from other things, like the president being a pedophile. See, it a pretty smart move, you start talking about going to war over oil, and the old school liberals' eyes kind of glaze over and all they can talk about is the fact that we are going to war over oil. Which is true and bad and all, but is really a distraction from the real reason.
  7. It's Australia. For a country with a rather large rural landmass, they have some of the the strictest gun control laws. Without looking, I'd imagine those are some of their only options outside of break action single or double guns.
  8. User name does not check out, but Mikey has poor trigger control, which lends authenticity to the picture.
  9. You'd think that they'd be smart enough to air gap these kinds of facilities, but I guess not.
  10. They also want to have tight control over the groups of people most likely to revolt, and to be able to use them to instead supress any revolt when their economy inevitably collapses.
  11. At least with this season we've kind of built in the expectation that we're going to somehow screw it up versus building momentum towards the end of the season only to screw it up later. Good things happening when hopes are moderated are much better than good things happening when hopes are elated, at least for the Cowboys. That way when it all goes to hell we aren't let down so bad and waiting on that sweet hit of playoff win hopes that can't come for at least another year.
  12. First, how do the refs see the a helmet fly off like that on the OT kick return, and not immediately review the play to see a member of the kicking team make helmet to helmet contact on the returner who was already basically if not actually down and not call a personal foul? That's straight up dangerous. Second, the NFL rule for nuetral zone infraction says: Homeboy didn't move to defend himself. He clearly jumped only to point out the defender in the nuetral zone. By their own rules, that shouldn't be a penalty. Didn't have much effect on the outcome, but if they are going to strictly enforce the rules as written, they should actually do so.
  13. He's getting his New Orleans on at an early age.
  14. Dang, y'all just hitting puberty and already starting to act like cowboys fans. And I say that with full knowledge that the cowboys are pretty much the middle aged older brother who manages to get our hopes up so the ultimate let down is that much worse.
  15. KC upset with the refs for not doing their job.
  16. Did Jerry buy the Texans or something?
  17. As a lifelong Cowboys fan, I do enjoy when I get to root for the Texans like this. Y'all take 'em down.
  18. "That's was accurate and well done by the official" after he tried his best to spot them a full yard short.
  19. Pretty sure it was sheer luck that the ball was still tucked in when he hit the ground there. Can you maintain control of the ball when the rest of your body goes limp for a second?
