  1. Hopefully we'll be there soon. We've been stuck at ass to ass for the last 4 years.
  2. The song itself is my favorite traditional Christmas carol. Their performance is beautiful and I love their Fast Eddie, Minnesota Fats bit at the beginning. You shoot straight pool, mister? Now and then. You know how it is. You like to gamble, David Bowie? Gamble money on Christmas songs?
  3. This is the other side of that ornament. #bothsides
  4. Never mind. Not that funny.
  5. Anyone know why the Worldometers tally for Serious, Critical cases in the USA jumped to over 32,000 today compared to 19,000+ yesterday? https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/
  6. I thought Trump's campaign was over when he said what he did about POWs. After that didn't happen, I felt that nothing would ever turn off his supporters. I'm surprised he won in 2016 and that it was as close as it was this time. Donald Trump has himself acted like I thought he would for the last 4 years but I did not expect that he would, even after losing, have such unwavering support among Republicans. I think we'll be done with Trump himself very soon but I dread what's to come more than ever. I saw Ralph Nader speak somewhere in Austin in 2002. I remember him comparing W to Nixon and saying that he never would've imagined that we'd be looking back at Nixon with nostalgia. Fuck Ralph for 2000 and the wars, but he was right that things can always get worse. The right wing bullshit "news" machine makes money. It's state media that doesn't need to be propped up by the state. It's only getting worse as the people that consume it are getting more insular, not to mention growing in number. Packed courts, gerrymandered districts, and disproportionate power for rural voters because of the makeup of the Senate and Electoral College are going to continue to work against us along with the right wing disinformation machine. In 2022, we might experience a Republican wave since we'll be the party in the White House in a mid-term. In 2024, Republicans are apt to nominate someone every bit as awful as Trump but that's much less of a bungling idiot. Democrats need to sell a vision that will help the lives of regular people. We'll never win the way we need to to implement real change by just not being Republicans.
  7. I don't mean to speak for RomaVicta but I imagine the answer is that he'll be deep in the cold, cold ground before he'll recognize Missoura or Oklahoma.
  8. Thanks. I now have a pretty good idea how to handle this if I should ever run across it. That is assuming that the guy didn't end up in some Sisyphean hell of doing it over and over.
  9. It's a Sicilian message. It means Mike Pence sleeps with the fishes.
  10. Heads up, everybody. On a right wing hate site that I sometimes monitor, there are plans for "heavily armed" demonstrations at all 50 state capitals today at noon. https://texags.com/forums/16/topics/3154573
  11. Not only has George Wallace lived an unnaturally long life, he's really evolved politically.
  12. I'm worried that the only thing that's kept a lid on this so far is that they've expected to win. It'll soon be clear to them that it's not going to happen no matter how many half-assed lawsuits the Trump campaign files.
  13. That was the bargain the Dems had to make with the RINO anti-Trumpers to fix the election. No way they could've beaten Trump otherwise. He'd have won every state.
  14. Fuck Soccer Moms and Nascar Dads. This is the election of Gritty Black Grandmas. I read somewhere during early voting that black women over 65 had turned out in record numbers, more than any other demographic in Georgia. Plus Gritty for Philadelphia.
  15. As Texans, we're under-represented in many of the same ways as California. Wyoming v. California: California has roughly 70 times the population of Wyoming yet each have 2 Senators. Electoral college, Wyoming has 3 votes. California has 55. Wyoming has 18x the representation of California per capita. Texas v. Wyoming: Texas has just under 30 million people and same number of Senators as Wyoming, that's Wyoming repped over 50 times Texans in the Senate. Electoral College, Wyoming people are represented over 12 times more per capita. I want everyone to be represented equally and will let the chips fall where they may.
  16. "We're up in the hills getting ready for the fight at Valley Trump. We need your help, Sean. For the next 6 hours only, we're offering a 10x match..."
  17. I've always thought there's a chance of this. One last bit of Trump fuckery that will be in our history forever, Mike Pence will forever be the 46th President but for only 2 weeks. For the rest of eternity, it'll be ....Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush 2, Obama, Trump, Pence*(for 2 weeks after Trump resigned and before Biden inauguration), Biden, Harris, Porter, etc...
  18. I'd find it hallarious when Hunter is back in town for the inauguration that he swings by that computer repair shop to pick up his laptop. That'd be like Omar going back to Prop Joe's and picking up his clock.
  19. Props for going original including for Anakin's ghost.
  20. This guy's hair looks like it's made of Play-Doh spaghetti.
  21. I am really hoping that surviving Republicans and the Dotard cult are at each other's throats and that helps us in the Georgia specials.
