  1. I didn’t even know that was a trump tax component to the dna test until this thread. Pretty much a failure and trump win as far as perception goes. We need someone that will do better with this stuff although all will be subjected to an inordinate amount of fake bullshit.
  2. This. The way forward is the way Beto ran his campaign. It’s based heavily on personal interaction, effective fund raising, and a positive message. Also a great ground game.
  3. Pretty sure east Texas isn’t the research triangle that he’s talking about. Only one they know is the one you ring when you yell come and get it!!!
  4. I would agree with 41. 43 had a Texan vibe.
  5. I think you devote about 20 seconds to laughing him off as an embarrassment then immediately turn to positivity and hope. People are looking for that right now and they will vote for the guy selling it. Biden and Beto would be the best at this IMO. Preference would be Biden announcing his candidacy with Beto at his side as his running mate. Put him to work in every coffee shop in the Midwest for the next two years and sail into the whitehouse.
  6. At Christmas the kids, who are all in their 30s, revisited an old topic with my FIL. All the kids are pro pot legalization even though many are conservatives. FIL has always given us doomsday scenarios. He asked how Colorado was doing sarcastically as the topic had been brought up a few years ago. When we explained that the economy was great he was incredulous and assured us that the negative effects would just take longer to kick in. “Just wait 20 years” If he were around in 20 years and the economy is doing well, he still wouldn’t admit fault. He would say it was some other factor that caused it. Perfect example of black/white with pot being bad no matter what and nobody is ever going to convince him otherwise. Even very clear, research based evidence. Yet libs are the emotional ones....
  7. I’ve been once and just sat at the bar. I thought the food was good and have been meaning to go back. A friend knows the owner and he is in there working his ass of just about everyday.
  8. We had Joe Straus but he was run out. Now we just have grandpa Sid Miller posting racist memes that he probably doesn’t even understand.
  9. That number will change when there is a specific baby killing, illegal immigrant supporting, socialist, commie, tranny that wants your kids to be gay, hate Jesus, America, and kicks puppies he is running against.
  10. Trumps base has exactly zero issues they care about. It’s all about being offensive and owning the libs. #tiredofwinning #libtears #lockherup #whosegoingtopayfor it?
  11. This is exactly right and it seems to be worse with the olds that I know. There has been so much change in the world that it’s easier just to block out a lot of things and dig your heels in. Everything is black and white to them and any attempt to show them shades of grey is met with hostility. Many that I know exist in an alternate reality where their only sources of news act as a confirmation bias. Youngs are far from perfect but seem to accept that the world is a rapidly changing place and they don’t have the option of just refusing to adapt. Politicians such as Beto are starting to catch on and not even engage with those people. Your time is better spent with people that are still open to new ideas.
  12. Based on my in-laws family Christmas party, this is spot on. They are still living in a different reality and can’t understand why I’m not up in arms about the trans child molesters that they heard about on the (Fox) news. They are terrified of the world now with cultural changes and technology that they don’t understand. They can’t fathom that any of it might be good. Another quick example is uber. It’s fast, cheap, safe, reduces drunk driving, helps disabled people get around, and provides part time work to a lot of people that want/need it. They thinks it’s level 10 dangerous and should be banned.
  13. My BIL got swiffer sheets from my MIL. Can’t wait to see what the morning brings for me....

    Know him well for the same reasons. Amazing family. We probably know each other.
  15. goes down really easy for 7.2% (not my pic)
  16. I paid in on every other job I’ve had and on my second job. I’ll still take trs but I’ve been paying into SS since the day I turned 16.

    I’ll agree with a lot of the ones already named but will add backspace.
  18. Tried the Merlin nitro milk stout from firestone walker last night. It was good but Zilker is still my go to right now.
  19. I don’t know but we should be talking about income generating wealth. The top 10% has just about all of it.
  20. Agree and I’m in education. In Texas I rarely see anybody retiring before 60 unless they have a rich spouse. If you teach from 25 to 60 in Texas you will get roughly 80% of the average of your best 5 years. Not too bad but you have to remember no SS in most cases.
  21. PfISD is now releasing “don’t blame us” statements because they are getting bombarded with negativity about this. In addition to being completely ridiculous, this law is now taking the time an energy away from the real purpose of school districts and other employers.
  22. Seems like the place with the cheapest electricity would be the best place to grow.
  23. Sounds like the free market at work. I don’t have a problem with any of it. Competition will drive innovation and benefit the customers, who were clearly happy in that video. If there are too many people producing and selling, then maybe don’t go into that business...
