  1. i mean what if your political beliefs have always pretty much aligned...until the last few years when one side really just crossed a line for you personally? that ad is great in that i suspect there is A LOT of that going on, especially in certain places.
  2. i keep trying to think of a criticism but i'm honestly having a hard time. pretty much a perfect movie. i guess...maybe it would have been cooler if the visual of 'victim in field' was more ambiguous and not very obviously an old tall white guy and not the Artist Formerly Known As Prince. like if he'd played coy about it for years.
  3. i know nothing about o&g...is that good? it sounds like it might be good.
  4. basically evidence that the campaign DID review his remarks beforehand and DIDN'T strenuously object to the remarks he did say.
  5. re: Bosa...i don't even know how well he got his message out bc his stupid hat was yellow on white lettering and you can't read shit. idiot. 🙄
  6. agreed but like i said above...the rich are gonna suffer just like the rest of us when millions and millions of our workforce are deported. i mean Astor and Guggenheim and Strauss etc. went down with the Titanic! what are they even thinking 😳
  7. re: 'the largest mass deportation in history'...i just...i mean...wut 😐 the racism and fear is what it is, always been there, no real surprise... but my god, the sheer ignorance and self-immolation of not having even the slightest grasp on the horrific, literally catastrophic economic impact that would have on this country...i don't understand how it's even possible for even the dumbest Americans in 2024 to not understand that! jfc we have literally millions and millions of people doing work in this country that we ALL rely on, in almost every single industry... agriculture, construction, childcare, service, maintenance, hell even the cleaning crews for giant corporation buildings...how, HOW is that not understood?? it's just absolutely BONKERS that these people are holding signs and enthusiastically cheering this plan on 😳 i mean i know maga is full of morons and assholes, but this specific issue is just insane. it would quite literally kneecap our entire economy for a generation.
  8. i mean why are they destroying them in midnight blue states (OR and WA??) where they are going to lose by tens if not hundreds of thousands anyway? i think they just mad 🤔
  9. of all the things i will never, ever understand...how so many Longhorns on this site happily and enthusiastically align themselves with fucking texags and don't see anything wrong or contradictory or ironic with it might just be the most wtf thing ever.
  10. you get a sticker even with vote by mail here 😁
  11. i mean is he worried Bubba Gumps is gonna shut down?
  12. me either. i enjoy debate and i especially enjoy learning new info and perspectives. my issue is i literally cannot tolerate morons, assholes, and moronic assholes. which pretty much rules out 95% of Trump supporters.
  13. oh, i think we all understand exactly what's going on with people like stros and helles...
  14. just turned this thing on...what is with aggy chanting Mo Bamba 😆 idiots lol and wtf did Weigman get benched?? haha
  15. working thru my CO ballot now, one of those states that sends you entire books of non-partisan explanation, analysis, fiscal impact, for and against arguments, etc etc... you know, a state that wants its voters thoroughly educated and informed. just like Texas! 🤣🤣🤣 anyway lol...walking the walk, this ballot measure proposes an additional tax on firearms, ammo, etc., to fund victim services, school safety programs, and mental health services. i also get to vote for state constitutional amendments removing same-sex marriage bans, constitutionally protecting abortion access, and against school vouchers. i mean gotdamn, living/voting in this state really could not be a greater contrast than where i spent 95% of my life. wow.
  16. actually i think they both got married in prison. good for them. i think. i don't know. i was 100% confident the WM3 were innocent. i don't really know here. i mean their dad was clearly a tyrant and a pedo perv, so probably, yeah... good for them.
  17. something in there about you being in 'high rise construction' and knowing damn good and well Trump would cheat you out of payment with a giant🖕 if given the opportunity but trusting him anyway...your 'willingness to forgive' will come in handy i guess.
  18. i mean...yeah, it's really no more complicated than that. there's no actual logic, evidence, or coherent argument to make and literally everybody knows it, including Trump supporters. every interview of supporters at any of his rallys... there's a reason they get the thousand yard stare when asked literally ANY follow-up question about his history, positions, policy, etc - there.is.no.answer. and they know it. if i held a position i knew i could not actually defend - and i knew i was going to be presented with evidence that specifically contradicted my position - well i wouldn't want to put myself in the position of having it questioned either! ETA: better yet...if i held a position that was enthusiastically supported by the vast majority of fucking texags...i'd consider self-commitment. i mean the cognitive dissonance is truly astounding! as for 'not fitting the narrative that person has constructed'...it all goes back to the amygdala. it's pretty easy to understand... but you have to have the capacity for critical thought. https://theoatmeal.com/comics/believe
