  1. I haven’t heard Trump’s voice since October so won’t watch video. Do you have Cliff’s notes on the exchange?
  2. Had a guy lose his shit on me boarding a flight to PHX last week. Wife and I were seated in first class, but the bins up front were full by the time we boarded so we had to go back a few rows to stow our bags and then swim upstream doing the “excuse me, excuse me” routine while we shimmy past the folks heading to the back. We get to our row and there’s a guy blocking it so I do the “excuse me” thing and he loses his shit. Dude is super red in the face and has a vein popping in his neck. Starts screaming at me a calling me an idiot while my wife is standing behind me. I maneuver to block him so my wife can sneak behind me into her seat and he starts pushing me. I slide into my seat once my wife sits down. Meanwhile the whole first class cabin is looking on in disbelief. Flight attendant immediately goes to the cockpit to let the pilots know what’s happening and they hold boarding. Gate agent boards the plane and removes the guy. Was a super odd experience. Who hasn’t flown and had to let someone by that is swimming upstream to get to their seat? And why is that the thing that would set you off so much that you get removed from the flight for being a psycho?
  3. Our overall tax burden went up significantly when we moved from AZ to Texas. In AZ we paid an income tax, sales tax and property tax on our house and vehicles. Texas is a low tax state for businesses, not citizens.
  4. I can’t stand Portnoy, but I totally agree. He reaches a big demographic that needs to wake up to reality. Even if just questioning a few things like he did sows a little bit of doubt in the minds of the disciples, it’s a good thing. I’ll welcome anyone that helps wake this country up to what is happening as an ally.
  5. It always goes back to these guys being incels.
  6. Hey, at least those shoes are Guccis. Was making a joke about how shitty our schools are in Texas.
  7. Was in Portland last week visiting the in-laws. It was sunny one day and partly sunny another and the locals were acting like it was the most amazing thing they’d ever seen.
  8. Totally makes sense to stick around in Texas for its superior schools.
  9. Jesus fish on their business card or truck.
  10. Same. If you’re dumb enough to be a service provider or business owner and you make it a point to tell me that you’re MAGA, you’re not going to get my money.
  11. That’s a contract tower.
  12. Dog owners that let their dogs off leash in public places that aren’t specifically off leash spaces (dog parks, etc) are assholes. My wife and dog were attacked by an off leash dog while they were out for a walk in our neighborhood several years ago.
  13. Make Assault Great Again

    LBGTQ

    Authored by Brent Money, who is one of Paxton’s hand selected reps.
  15. I’m guessing that once again Elon is unaware that ATC has mandatory retirement at age 56.
  16. Will they have separate rooms at Mar-a-lago?
  17. Can you guys take the gerrymandering discussion to another thread and leave this one to leopards eating faces?
  18. You can say it because he’s an obese 78 year old man that has difficulty stringing together coherent thoughts and complete sentences.
  19. At least the good people of Harris County voted Ogg out of office. Travis County voters can’t say the same about Garza.
  20. My wife is currently enrolled in a grad program with a French business school. It has been an incredible experience for her so far. It requires a ton of travel, but her professional network has expanded immensely since she’s one of only three Americans in her cohort. We’re both hoping that this exposure will eventually lead to a professional opportunity for her in Europe.
  21. There needs to be an accounting for how much they’ve spent to achieve these amazing targets. I’m guessing we’re approaching net zero or net negative in total “efficiency.”
  22. Ah, yes, because who better to manage public funds than Trump and Elon?
  23. It’s great that these are all happening in communities with extremely robust healthcare systems. Oh, wait.
  24. I don’t think you’ve been paying attention.
