  1. no... it's simple HYPOCRISY. these people don't and never did have any ACTUAL principles about anything. moral and ethical consistency is for pussies dontcha know. quoting myself from a few months ago...
  2. hahaha 👍 Denver
  3. random and meaningless but sad irony... watching the USFS men's finals and the names of our future Olympians (however many go) will be from Torgashev, Naumov, Hiwatashi, Sanchez, and Malinin. in Trump's America even our figure skating will suck. eta or maybe not i guess? they are mostly white 🙄 guess i was just struck by ALL of their immigrant origins. ugh.
  4. he's so good 🤎
  5. yeah i mean anecdotes are meaningless but i am fairly good friends/in regular contact irl with (counts) 13 alums, 11 of which have been progressive/liberal since we met and 2 recovering republicans like me 😆 and i was in the Young Reps at Texas so it's not like i was self-selecting when we met 😜 otoh, as mentioned elsewhere last night, an entire branch of my extended family tree are almost all Texas grads, frat/sorority types, very well connected in Texas...are all on board with Abbott/maga.
  6. good...i posted this last night but couldn't get the link to embed 👍
  7. anybody talk to @troph lately? 😕 i sincerely with all my heart hope she's safe in Mexico already 🧡
  8. hmm. if he pisses off enough people who actually do have power and wealth... maybe he'll get Colonel Lockjaw-ed??💡🤔
  9. i worked there under Perry, it was rife with aggy at the time. worst job i ever had, absolutely full of assholes. i doubt it's changed much. but there was a time when i would have said 'aww good for him, congrats Colt!' but everything is stupid and has been ruined now especially in Texas so, meh.
  10. anyways... this one is just...wow. https://www.reddit.com/r/ICE_Watch/s/i1DCX0OZl7 it has none of the telltale AI signs but who tf knows. it looks and sounds and feels real and very, very raw. 13 mins...but the end is worth it. nobody got shot. at least this lady can say she knows what she would have done in 1930s germany.
  11. this is me... but im not really finding it that difficult bc i've prioritized avoidance lol mom passed in 2019 and i'll say it... i'm grateful, not that she's gone, but that i do not have to witness and she does not have to suffer what i am 100% sure would have happened to her during this entire decade, from covid on 😕 extended family is big and a mix of rural east Texas simple folk and UT/aggy grads with deep financial and political ties...all 'conservative'/maga. we've only seen each other at weddings and funerals for a couple decades, i will not be surprised once dad (78) and my last surviving aunt (90) are gone if we never see any of them again. they are not, as they say, my people, and i've never lost any sleep over it and neither have they lol. ngl, leaving Texas made avoidance a thousand times easier. and my algorithm is pretty void of any politics - animals, music, nature, cooking, and GRWMs bc they're fun, shut up. really... it's just my dad 💔 i do think he's wrestling with his amygdala. he's become very involved in local philanthropy and the past year has been eye-opening for him, he's unironically talked about it 🙄. he has said outright he does not like Trump. but...he voted for him, almost certainly all three times. give him a few drinks and the ugly starts coming out. and he still shares god awful shit on fb which i just chose to ignore. but our family is very small, and in general he's outnumbered 4 to 1, and we are also all he has, so for the most part we all manage to just avoid topic(s). and i personally do not drink with him, ever. we all just have to make the call. some of y'all with larger families and kids and whatnot, y'all have a lot more on the line and i really feel for you. i've had a loving but conflicted relationship with both parents since my youth. i'm not afraid to confront directly when pushed, and i'm not particularly sentimental which helps. also, no kids is the best decision i've ever made.
  12. he's been at war attacking Colorado for a while now
  13. i don't know any details but that seems awesome. and New Yorkers VOTED FOR THIS, so just like everybody else... 😊
  14. why? they seem like perfect Texan specimens 😄
  15. at least she didn't try to hit him with a giant crab
  16. he thought this was his moment to shine! lol
  17. "blue anon" 🖕
  18. this fucking horror show is dragging everybody out 🤬
  19. he never said he was a trump voter, at least on that clip
