  1. 100%. Harris/Walz need to use this story as a opportunity for him to brag on his service especially in relation to vance and especially Trump being a draft dodger. It's wrong that some want Walz to say "GOP is stupid" and ignore the situation.
  2. He could because he's the only one of that group that has had any real personality shown on the TV show. The others have been in the floater camp so far. But Quinn could also have earned more fans for that. I guess we find out in a few hours.
  3. Harris/Walz should care because it gives them an opportunity. Or we can let MAGA and others talk about the MSM not doing their job.
  4. That was the CNN story about the military facts and timeline. The one unknown looks to be the exact date that Walz submitted his retirement papers but as CNN wrote that doesn't matter because Walz' retirement date was before the unit received the Iraqi orders.
  5. When I read stories from legitimate news sources, they state the facts and known timeline. And they state what they don't know, and most likely cannot easily find out in 2 seconds on their own. From the latest CNN story about Walz.
  6. some of y'all are becoming as bad as MAGA crying about mainstream media.
  7. Walz should go on any and all networks that will have him and explain his service. If Fox News wants to put Walz on so he can explain how he gave 24 years of service to the country, so be it. And if Walz even remotely misrepresented his service anywhere, it allows him to give his side of the story. We already know TexAgs type of people will never believe anything except what the Russian bots tell them, so there is no reason to worry about changing their mind. But it does help if Walz tells the story so supporters can speak up when they hear a moron spread lies at a neighborhood bbq.
  8. no idea who america will select since the more outspoken players are safe or already on the block. https://www.cbs.com/shows/big_brother/vote/ I know it's the show's edit but I know next to nothing about T'kor. I would vote for her.
  9. We need the inevitable where RFK Jr. drops out and endorses Trump in exchange for Trump outlawing vaccines. The latter part perhaps not being broadcast.
  10. Has JD referenced the couch rumor at any level?
  11. I have no doubt that we will see a county election official destroy, or at least attempt to destroy, all vote records other than the total votes summary. It will be in a red county that either flipped to Harris or at least Trump won by a smaller expected percentage. The election official will use the unofficial vote tally as evidence of fake votes.
  12. Cori Bush went after AIPAC today in that they were the major backer of Bell. While AIPAC has been major backers of Dem primary opponents of the Squad, they've also given large amounts to other Democrats like Hakeem Jeffries.
  13. yes. and you have had ads that included an OU helmet before and after.
  14. My only comment is that someone should not look to use a life insurance policy as a inheritance upon their passing. It's a poor return on your money. Life insurance should only make sure your current dependents are cared for and/or your burial and estate can be settled. If you have a young family, a policy should be structured to replace your income and maybe slightly more. If you're older and have a spouse, you may not need any life insurance since your death may not impact the income. If you're older and single, life insurance is a waste. There used to be a life insurance commercial, maybe MetLife. It pissed me off. A older woman is helping her adult son and his family put up the groceries. The woman is talking how MetLife is making it so she can leave a little something behind to make her family's life a little more comfortable after her passing. If you want to do that, just give the premium amount to your son instead. My mom had a post-retirement policy where she ultimately paid 1-2x the payout via the premiums because she lived into her mid 80s. It was like gambling that she was going to die early into retirement to come out ahead. Weird bet.
  15. I have no idea if Elon's recent lawsuit with advertisers is legit. I assume not. However imagine the signal it sends to the existing or future advertisers. Next Elon is going to sue companies that have never advertised on X because they should be advertising and failing to do so is illegally harming X. He most likely will find a sympathetic Texas judge who will blame it on DEI.
  16. They're looking to swift boat Walz. For those that don't know in 2004, Bush's side attacked John Kerry saying that Kerry exaggerated his Vietnam war record. Even though everyone agreed that Kerry served in a war zone in Vietnam while Bush served by flying jets in SE Texas. The end result was that some believed that Kerry was a draft dodger (spoiler: he enlisted) and Bush was Rambo.
  17. There is a phenomenon that when something comes to your attention you see it everywhere. In your scenario that ad or video was going to be shown to you anyway. You wouldn't have paid attention to it except it was recently mentioned. We have 100s (1000s?) of ads in our line of sight throughout the day that we ignore.
  18. It can give an impression that they're not wasting resources/time/money on making investors happy about polished material.
  19. They look at the history of other people who like the same videos and attempt to learn what you like. I imagine they eventually determine you are similar to 100,000 other people. When those 100,000 people start to like a video, they will show it to you as well even if you've never indicated any interest.. These sites most likely know you better than anyone, including yourself. This is also why people cannot believe that others are not seeing the same videos/posts they are. It's like they're on a completely different TikTok, Instagram, X, Youtube, etc.
  20. Some reps appear to lose the reasoning on why they were elected in the first place. You can take on national or international issues but not at the expense of your local base thinking that you've forgotten them. You must be viewed negatively if you lose your primary. You can join the cool kids' table (Squad) but if you're not as secure as they are, your tenure may not last long.
  21. There must be a Tesla team who are held responsible when sales are down. How can they not just quit when they see a news story like this.
  22. I was hoping for Shapiro but I’m onboard 100% with Walz. Let’s go.
  23. Dump of a few Texas noteworthy items lately. survey that 70% of Texans support school vouchers. Perhaps Dems and rural republicans need to get somewhat onboard with Abbott to at least get something their way. Fighting the inevitable can be a losing cause for your constituents. (I’m not a fan of vouchers but can accept reality.) https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/education/article/two-thirds-texans-support-school-vouchers-new-19604424.php while I hate him, I give Lt. Patrick props that he met with the Chronicle to provide his side of the story why Texas responded the way it did with Beryl. Seems legit and he didn’t need this interview. I actually like that Texas at least says it doesn’t need FEMA for a few days. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/opinion/editorials/article/dan-patrick-beryl-fema-texas-a-m-kidd-19610240.php On the more positive front, here is a west Texas oil worker worth a follow on TikTok. Looks like his channel points out how poor of a job by the industry and railroad commission. The environment is a disaster. While the situation is negative, we need him pointing out the problems. EDIT: he’s exploring a run for RRC. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTNbLAN35/
  24. If Harris tells the Secret service that she’s choosing Walz or Shapiro, they have to give both full protection. A few weeks ago they may have pushed back saying they needed to know the candidate before offering full protection. It’s doubtful they have any push after their laughable performances protecting Trump,
  25. This is my take as well. It’s possible that Trump will escape some (all?) cases because of the SCOTUS ruling. At a minimum he can tie up his cases for long stretches with appeals. The others don’t have that. Is there a count of everyone that has gone to prison for Trump? its also key that Jenna Ellis agreed to give testimony to any jurisdiction, including federal in exchange for her immunity in AZ. She’s a govt witness now across the board for any prosecutor.
