    You think Ann Richards was a nationally aligned democrat? We need a strong leader with strong vision and strong ties to Texas.

    You think Ann Richards could get elected in Texas today? She was pro-AWB (bye bye AR-15), cared about women's health, and wanted to empower teachers! She's the boogeyman that our very fine friends in DT rage about

    McConaughey stomps Abbott. Find a person who's Texas as fuck. 

    Hooray, more celebrity will certainly lead us out of the desert!

    But too many see progressives as enemies not reasonable people wanting everyone to have a seat at the table for our thanksgiving dinner.

    The problem is that the modern conservative movement demonizes empathy, as it cuts against the fundamentally hierarchical world view of conservatism

    That and a "if I have to vote for a black guy, it may as well be the Republican one."

    If you're an angry, scared, and hateful old white man would you prefer to represent black people in your state with Warnock or Walker? Along with the same dynamic as Fetterman in PA with voters voting based on electoral politics, not local issues

    We teach our children it’s ok to like who you like, that it’s ok for people to marry other boys/girls as they see fit, and to love people for their character not their appearance.  

    Yeah, those are all things that make Jesus sad, duh! Haven't you been reading the Christ followers thread??

    Yeah my daughter had UT as her first choice for law school and wanted to practice in Austin.

    She abandoned that plan after the abortion stuff.

    New plan was law school at University of Chicago and then maybe moving to NC.

    She just texted me that NC was off the table.

    And I get it - I’m seriously looking at uprooting my life to a blue state once she’s out of college and in state tuition isn’t a factor. But if voters keep siloing themselves, nothing will get better nationally and will actually get worse because of the outsized influence that small red states have in the Senate and Electoral College.

    And at that point even blue states won’t be safe.

    I’m really at a loss. I think within 10 years swing states will be extinct and we’ll basically have what amounts to not just two different countries but two different realities.

    Justice Roberts sends his regards, and the voting rights act was just a bunch of commie libtard bullshit anyways

    I don't disagree, but continuing to invite them into disucssions isn't really addressing the problem.

    The joke is that three of those accounts are banned previous incarnations of the same dude I'm talking to. 

    The fucking problem is that there cannot be a fucking discussion with these people. They will relentlessly lie, misquote, miscite, and misrepresent information to advance a false narrative, just like how poe so helpfully demonstrated earlier in this thread. Sure, you can take the time to write down why they're wrong and dishonest to frame it that way, but then they're on to the next thing.

    Turns out it's easier to smear shit on the walls than it is to clean it up. Too bad we keep letting the shit smearers in.

    Why do you do this? Do you think the rest of us want to watch you engage with a pack of trolls? Just fucking PM them and have at it.

    Well then maybe the site admins should stop allowing frequent fliers to return to the site after getting banned four fucking times? cc: GRUhorn

    Why are the Allies dithering on providing drone and missile defense?

    Because domestic agitators in the allied nations are criticizing the volume of aid being sent to Ukraine, given the economic pains inflicted by putin's efforts. "Why should we send billions in aid to Ukraine when we can't keep the heat on?" you know, the sort of stuff that humbleGRUvibes posts. 

    Russia has been openly stating their efforts to interfere in election processes to have more friendly forces in office. The dithering is an outcome from useful idiots receptiveness russian efforts.

    Yeah, I created that moniker. It’s kind of what I do, a sort of gift I suppose. Anyway, I’ll bow out today because I feel emotions will be running very high today. Good luck to you guys. 

    What, don't you want to stay around and cheer on your team as they intimidate black voters? It's the culmination of decades of republican strategery!! 

    Don't leave during your moment of ultimate triumph! Stick around and take credit for all the good the GOP is doing to democracy, since you love to defend them so much and attack those evil SOCIALIST libz

  10. We saw Cassian and another prisoner thinking about going for it right then when a new guy was coming into their shift, and then they learned that the catwalks aren't electrified. I'd bet when Ulaf's replacement comes tomorrow, that's gonna be when shit pops off.

    The only people who need introspection are those who cackle at the idea of basic civil liberties and democratic governance getting squashed because they think they can make a few more bucks during the decline.  

    You really shouldn't go look at the inflation thread then lol
