  1. I don't look at this thread ever really, but I saw your post was on Friday and just wondering how you're doing. I can relate to nearly every word. Not doing well but between work, family, and neighbors, seems like you always have to put on your competent face. People talk about others struggling, but seems like that should be reserved for the super hard luck cases who are unemployed, business going under, etc. Anyway, I hear you.
  2. One specific person in office was meant to fix all the things? Huh ok...well tell it to the obstructionist extraordinaire Moscow Mitch. Or maybe you prefer the guy who just destroys and makes it all worse? Vote or don't vote, no one is saying you have to vote at all...if you're a Trump fan, own it
  3. It's called sexual assault. yeah I was hesitant to call it that in my context of growing up in Dallas 'burbs where sexual assault would occur against high school girls only on days ending in y, and it was never ever acknowledged... other than to celebrate it or shame a girl accusing anyone. And then the idea of it happening to a guy -- holy shit not possible
  4. Now that could account for poor/ignorant whites. I don't know the thinking of Black Trumpists other than possible opportunism because Trump clearly hates black people going back a looong way. "Ungrateful thugs" was a nice one my dad repeated from the Trump/Fox News machine.
  5. AND I go to MSN's compendium of media and one top headline is "Jacob Blake's family says they have no pastor" another says "Trump alleges shadowy forces are helping Biden" neither are Fox news or affiliated ... and without context -- if you don't click --they only help the Dotard. Fucking pathetic ... one thing I don't doubt is that all media want a close race
  6. We did this to my parents when they stayed in our house as we were at the hospital with our son being born. No Fox News for you! Next!
  7. I'm not of the belief that Biden can get Texas. I don't trust the fucking suburbs at ALL. If it happens, it'll be people in the cities voting in force, specifically people who don't usually vote in force -- minorities and young people. Obviously not saying anything groundbreaking here. I did a tiny bit of my part today in being an influence on my UT-attending niece whose family is uber-conservative and Christ-IAN, while she's starting to open her eyes to real life and the fact people she cares about experience discrimination. Told her how important it is for college students to vote, gave her links to register/request absentee ballot etc. And said, share with your friends-- your cool friends only --- kidding not kidding.
  8. Man, if the former college kid's story is accurate, that's abusive on her part. I get all the jokes and whatnot, but his version is that he really didn't seek or want that, which is possible...and I see how he can feel like he was subjected to predatory behavior. That's not "ah cool she lets her freak flag fly." It's just gross and wrong.
  9. JFC. I thought maybe his quote was possibly out of context. But the video is SO much worse than even the quote. That is some straight-up fascism. Interspersed with lies and an utter lack of evidence. And then more fascism.
  10. I never followed that saga closely, but didn't she have some mental/emotional issues and had also lost custody of her child? It was all so gross.
  11. I didn't see this posted elsewhere, though guessing it has been. But it belongs here. I mean we all sorta knew it went down like this but still....the details are a fucking disgrace. A show of hands to vote for child separation after Miller demands it, proclaiming that not to do so is unAmerican, and the country will never be the same if separations don't happen. No one voiced a concern for the kids or the morality of this. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/trump-cabinet-officials-voted-2018-white-house-meeting-separate-migrant-n1237416 And analysis of the report: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/white-supremacy-was-behind-child-separations-and-trump-officials-went-along-critics-say/ar-BB18gh0o
  12. No, foreigners don't jump the queue. It's a surgery that would have been entirely covered (subsidized) under the Canadian health system had we been citizens, but is one of many things insurers like to exclude here. So it would have been out of pocket for us either way, but their out of pocket was almost 120% less expensive.
  13. True. My spouse had a major surgery not covered by insurance, and we went to Canada. All out of pocket, it cost literally less than half of what it would cost here, and there was world-class care and a world-class doctor (no exaggeration).
  14. Alabama 3 was the best show I ever randomly walked into during any SXSW. It was a revelation to me that blues, country, electronica, rap, and gospel could be melded together so perfectly. And by a bunch of brits no less. Their live show was fucking awesome. The singer died within the last couple of years from a heart attack. Or "heart attack." So your story checks out ...
  15. Called my "senators" Cruz & Cornyn.... left voicemail. Sent emails too. That's all we can do I guess, so feel like we should all do it. Every day, I am shocked at how bad things are getting....and how little power and will the D's have to resist the fall of the republic.
  16. you might not like his pro-life bullshit then. He'll never get my support with that weak-ass white male pro-birth agenda.
  17. Seriously. And fuck them for using Electric Avenue...I highly doubt Eddy Grant gave them permission and he owns all his own music rights. They just take everything like it's their own and pretend they ever did anything on their own merit. Many privileges. So White. Like a doge. Taking from the black man with one hand and pushing all bleks down with the other.
  18. Just want to point out that Hillary was accomplished and well-known in her own right, no matter what you think of her personally....I disagree that she's a poor example for your daughters in that particular regard.
  19. Would be the tiniest mushroom cloud EVAR
  20. seriously FUCK this guy... we all keep trying to tell ourselves he's smart but evil.....but this dude is just bullshit transparent trolling. Why is it still August, I'm ready to vote these fuckers out YESTERDAY
