  1. Mo is sooo good. Especially Season 2, and especially endearing to Houstonians and Htown sports fans. Such a great show. Watch it.
  2. was the hat part of the contract negotiations with Christian Walker? Pena's been killing it as well
  3. they evil Republicans have already won, the point is that Dems must not participate in this dismantling of the government. that is the only message to make right now and they absolutely must make that message a consistent and loud one. if there's any time where accelerationism is called for, that time is now.
  4. oh I get it.....2 WS titles, 7 ALCS appearances?
  5. while ethlylene oxide slides into your DMs
  6. nah I think she's just a typical white supremacist
  7. No I was very surprised because i thought Jan 6th (and Trump's lawlessness) was a bridge too far for her. I thought she just wouldn't vote for president. Or even Kamala. Her 90 year old Republican mother and sister did (who happens to be married to an Indian immigrant with two mixed-race kids).....
  8. There are, but the naked truth is that for so many of these "moderate Republicans" who held their nose and voted for Trump, white supremacy and/or greed was a higher priority for them than voting their political conscience or just simply not voting affirmatively for either candidate. I have a cousin who was a hot-shot Travis Co prosecutor for 20+ years and was let go in the Margaret Moore purge of DA's office. She was always a Republican, grew up with a hardcore Republican father and never really wanted for anything in her life. Whip-smart, graduated high school early and got her degree in like two years or so from UT back in the 80's and went on to law school, eventually pursuing a career as a law enforcement officer where she sent many, many people to prison for child sex crimes, family violence, and murder. She prosecuted high profile crimes in Travis County, a few of which have been discussed in this forum and the old site, a couple that resulted in death penalty verdicts, and one high-profile case that resulted in an innocent person spending twenty years in prison on bullshit "scientific evidence" only to be exonerated and released a couple of years ago. By all accounts she had a successful career and was a powerful, connected lawyer who could have parlayed her time at the DA's office into a lucrative private practice. She was the quintessential Liz Cheney-ish Republican, someone who staunchly believed in law-and-order to the point where she took less money to be a public servant because she truly believed in her role as an advocate for victims of violent crime. This motivation was always something she spoke of and believed in, to the point where I think it blinded her to inequities in the justice system, but she was also someone who I saw as a fair-minded, objective lawyer who believed in the Constitution and law and order. I found out recently through family that she voted for Trump and it absolutely blew my mind to the point where she has become the embodiment in my mind of every white woman Trump voter. She is not stupid or uninformed, especially on matters of law, and I assumed that even though she was lifelong Republican voter, she saw Trump as a complete moron and embarrassment to the Republican party and a threat to the law-and-order system she swore an oath to defend. I assumed that Trump's actions on Jan 6h were a bridge too far for even her Republican brain to validate in the voting booth. I was way wrong apparently and she's pretty much dead to me now. I've thought a lot about her since the inauguration and what her reasons could be for voting for Trump and my only explanation is she's lived her entire life as a privileged white woman who has never faced the class/racial hurdles so many others face on a regular basis and she's okay with compromising her law-and-order values to further her class and racial biases.
  9. Yes, which is why I booed and hissed Slotkin's stupid ass response to Trump's nutty speech before Congress. Stop praising failed Republican policies and the politicians that ushered them in.
  10. yeah duh! Hate to break it to some people but THIS WAS THE GOP"S PLAN FOR THE LAST FORTY FUCKIN YEARS. I'm a simple man of average intelligence but I've always been a leftist/Republican critic (save that one brief Alex P Keaton phase in my mid teens) for one fundamental reason: people applying for a job in a sector they basically hate should not be given the opportunity to prove why they think it sucks! That's the GOP approach to government. GUMMINT BAD! ELECT ME SO I CAN PROVE IT! And the rubes fall for it over and over and over again. And here we are, watching them in their endgame as they fundamentally destroy everything our government has ever built for the betterment of our society so the richest, most powerful, least deserving individuals can profit at the expense of every class below them. Brisket, kindly point me to the highest ledge.....
  11. WEEE WILL WINNNN

  13. This is the same theocratic fascist on Jubilee who thinks there's nothing wrong with religious fundamentalism and you can't be a moral individual without God. Trump's America. These people need to be ground into dirt.

  15. The Socratic Method is kryptonite to Republicans that still support Trump as it just exposes how little they know and when pressed to answer questions, they typically get emotional and let their masks slip off.
