  1. There's a few of my former high school classmates who are postal employees and hard-core MAGA. I'm sure they are thrilled. I can't muster the energy to have a shred of concern for what might happen to them.
  2. Does it actually matter?
  3. Sheeeeeet, by summer you will have the CEO of (fillintheblank) Corporation (whatever corporation is directly impacted by tarrifs or some other tomfoolery at that time) having a photo op in the Oval handing over some giant check made out to Donald.
  4. "You can't believe everything he actually says!" "He doesn't mean everything he says!" "He isn't going to do everything he said he would do!" "Well, the house and senate would never actually go along with him!" "The Supreme Court would never allow that to happen!"
  5. It's cute you two haven't put in a disclaimer the bet is off if there is no presidential election in 4 years. Because quite frankly, assuming there will be a presidential election in 2028 is at best a 50/50 proposition.

  7. Make Raw Water Great Again.
  8. The great irony is Mitch McConnell, who could have prevented every bit of this back in 2021, had polio as a child.

  10. What could possibly go wrong.

  13. Thing is, everyone who voted for Trump would still vote for him even if eggs are $1 each. The man simply cannot lose support. There's absolutely nothing on this planet that will cause this to happen. Nothing at all. He could have the past Congressional Medal of Honor recipients lined up and executed on national tv as he is standing there giving the order to shoot, and he would gain support. Not only that, you would have roughly half the House and Senate eagerly signing onto a resolution fully supporting the executions. Nothing matters anymore. At least with Donald J. Trump.

  15. What's even better is some chain, say, oh, HEB will decide they don't want to sell raw milk. But Abbott will sign a law that specifically forces chains like United or HEB to sell raw milk, because freedom. Then one day people will purchase it from HEB, possibly get sick, and then people will bitch and moan about HEB selling tainted milk.
  16. Both defenses are so keyed up, you gotta run some kind of misdirection.
  17. See, that's what you get for thinking.
  18. FYI, he also stated he's adding a 10% tariff on everything from China on top of any tariffs on Chinese imports that are already in place:
  19. Sheeeet, MAGA runs all the branches now. Moose out front shoulda told you.
  20. Can't wait for avocados to cost $10 each. I mean, 90% of them consumed in the US comes from there. I'm sure plenty of people will be accepting of an avocado "tax" their favorite restaurant starts charging as well.
  21. Your giant programs with community and district support (Lake Travis, etc) sure. They can cover that. But you get down to A, 2A, 3A schools...they recondition helmets yearly. They send them in to get checked out, and if they pass, they can reuse the shell yearly (up to 10 years). If a helmet ever fails, then it has to get scrapped. So, a small school like that might budget for a dozen helmets a year, with reconditioning for the rest of their inventory. Yes, they could make up with pie suppers and other fund raisers, but schools generally just don't have that kind of cash flow to purchase 50 helmets a year. Source: I've had two former head coaches live down the street from me. In the 90's, it would cost around $400 a kid for football. Today, game pants are around $100 a pair, and jerseys around $70 each. That's for something simple. You want to look like Oregon? Or go with sewn on numbers? Prices are going to go up. Helmets and shoulder pads have gone up quite a bit. Now, I have no idea of the size or district/community support of the school that Mayfield made the donation to. But they needed the donation. And there are hundreds more schools like that coast to coast.
