  1. I don't have kids, so I don't know what the pulse is among other parents, but is anyone actually wanting to send their kids back to school right now?
    I want my kid to go back but it's not happening. We have inadequate test capacity. My girlfriend travelled and got a test 13 days ago in Maryland. Still no result. She had to social distance and stay in our airstream. It's rediculous. We finally said fuck it because it sucks.
    We alternate with my Ex every two weeks. Longer if one family has higher risk like a wedding. And because of testing lag we are more limited on what we can do. It sucks
  2. The horse race pundits will continue to post misleading headlines with articles that back up the headline zero percent. Its just what they do to monetize you and try to make money. They are full of shit. He is deader than dead. 
    Good Lord I want to chug this koolaid. I feel like I did in 2018 before the rug got pulled on the Blue Wave. Hopeful, then the GOP shenanigans worked when it mattered.

    They are really testing the bottom of how hypocritical and full of shit they can be. But betting on stupid in this country is a smart bet
  3. here is your first problem. 
    No shit. I used to love saltwater fishing. And since Trump it's just not as appealing. People are dicks and all fucking flags piss me off. Trump flags literally anger me.
  4. Chatted with a Trumper friend of mind. I genuinely asked and listened to why he supports trump and flies a trump flag. Basically it was: businessman and not a politician, stock market, and response to socialism.
    Dude has a shitty masters degree and makes 6 figures so not stupid.


    I was polite and didn't argue. I had an internal conversation that he's just doing what he thinks is best for his family and is a little brain washed

    Then I remembered this dude used to drop the n bomb and stole an outboard motor in college so he could fish. And I realised he's just a selfish asshole .

    -Not sure I want to be going offshore fishing with him anymore.
    - not sure Trump is going anywhere at all. They are all doubling down and have mental excuses for doing so baked in. Market crashes? We need a businessman to get it back. Rona? China!

    Trump works because we allow propaganda as news and we are a selfish cruel people.

  5. I grew up in Big Spring and monitor a FB page for local political issues, and the new mayor there models the worst type of blowhard Trumpian behavior. A week or so ago, he was behaving like such a jackass that half of the City Council walked out of the meeting leaving them without a quorum.
    Part of the problem, though, is that his best buddy is the owner?/moderator for this group of over 9,000 in a town of 25,000. Because of the heavy moderation against any dissent, the two have created a tremendous voting block who are fucking up any progress the town had been starting to finally achieve over the last ten years.
    The content of the (acceptable) posts is about the worst you can imagine, including the wildest conspiracy theories about mask wearing and Covid as a hoax. It's just so damned disheartening to see that town go from having a high school astronomy teacher (former neighbor when I was a kid) with its own planetarium in the high school to where now the football coaches use it to view film.
    The chemistry, biology, and physics teachers were absolutely stellar back in the 1980s, which allowed me to consider them as blow-off courses for easy credit in college. Today, judging by the most vocal deniers, I'm surprised they aren't all ripping air filters from their cars and home AC units out of fear of asphyxiating them.
    That sucks man. It's crazy my small town dwelling brother who struggles to work from home because of internet speed, is also against any federal funding to get decent internet to the sticks. And he bitches about his taxes when small towns take the most and need the most. Those kids are being left behind, can't even internet their way out, and are left being indoctrinated as trumpers bitching about jerbs..

    They should all go hang out in the smoke pit and hope to become musicians

  6. I will go to my grave not understanding how self-proclaimed followers of Christ have so vehemently and passionately thrown their support behind such a reprehensible and objectively un-Christ-like man.  I still can't get over it.  
    I have a friend getting her master's at Liberty. She is an awesome person, but her ethos of not being wordly doomed her to the grift. I mean she doesn't even do secular music so she's never hearing the truth on Liberty. I don't have the heart. I learned long ago as a builder to keep my mouth shut when someone is showing off their new project or handiwork. " Yep, sounds great" it's too late for feedback

  7. Companies are going to figure out, if they haven't already, that productivity does not drop when employees work from home. The next step will be to save money by reducing office space.
    Yeah I don't envy commercial realtors.

    I really need those Turd flags for the greenbelt and various RV parks I find myself in. I'm scooping my dog's shit but not the rest. Might as well create campaign ads ob the fly

  9. everybody says this, but i don't really buy it.
    in my experience, there are people that have this word in ~regular usage, and there's everybody else.  if this was a word he threw around, we'd have heard him say it by now, either on recording/video pre-presidency, or when he goes off-script at his rallies/briefings.  in fact, i don't even think he's a racist, in the conventional sense of the word.  i've seen zero evidence that he treats poor white people better than poor black (or brown) people.  he treats everybody like shit, because he thinks everybody is beneath him, regardless of the color of their skin.  he's shitty to anyone who's not in a position to help him or give him things.
    i believe that he uses racist/nationalist/supremacist language intentionally to rile up the racists that vote for him, because he's transactional and he only cares about getting elected.  he'd address the nation in black-face if he thought it would help him win. 
    I'm more or less on the same page. Except I think he calculates and creates very little. All his slogans are the work of others. He is the Id personified that was let loose and fed uppers with the entire world at his disposal. It's constantly scanning for another hit. Nothing more. It doesn't care about anything else. And it's purely binary thinking. If you satisfy the Id you are the smartest bestest. If you injure the Id you are bad, which makes it sad. His lexicon is absorbed from his surroundings like a horrible bizarre world The Dude. If he says something and it's cheered he says it again.
    If Fox News had a piece on * the war on using the N word, " Trump would sound like Clayton Bigsby the next day.

    Fox and Breitbart know how the game is played.

  10. Given this song, one of the teachers in Ferris bueller, and that other movie whose name is escaping me you’d think at a minimum generation x would have learned the definition of irony by now. 
     
    We haven’t.
     
    Also it was “singles” wasn’t it?  I’m afraid to rewatch that movie to confirm because it probably totally sucks. 
    Reality Bites bruh

  11. I really don't get why the GOP hasn't jumped ship yet. Dotard's numbers are crashing and they are only hurting themselves by hanging on.
    Lyndsey was starting to speak up, but after a round of golf he's back to slobbing cheeto knob.
  12. I've been to Galveston plenty over the past month.  Never shoulder to shoulder on the seawall, in fact plenty of room for the bikes to ride and try to run us over.  All the restaurants i went to were enforcing inside seating limits.  The science shows that this spreads inside in close contact.  This is not a win for science.  
    No but it's a win for slowing spread down a bit until maybe people take this shit seriously.
