Woke up this morning thinking this really is the last stand election for both parties. The last breath of hatred bigotry and fascism vs a black woman running for president. Project 2025 feels like the fascists last non violent attempt for control. By contrast, whether or not it's by choice, this is the year the democrats put up a black woman to see if we are far enough along in this country to not only elect our first woman president, but also throwing in she is black too. It's like increasing the difficulty level on your favorite video game playing with a hardcore character. I hope we are there.

I think it's the new phat.

I've been wondering about the foundation for this behavior for years. I've asked some of my black female friends and I couldn't get a firm answer. Is it the male dominance trump puts out that resonates with them? Male Hispanics, especially Cuban males also.have been said to be drawn to this way of thinking.....I guess even at the expense of their right to vote ?

So Shapiro if the dems are nervous about their chances and cooper if they feel emboldened, as they would feel Pennsylvania looks safe. Or would it be the other way around?

The end is going to be more interesting than I thought.

Good for Joe. You served your country as best as you could do and I commend that. A servant of the people till the end.

Looking at historical daily temps for dfw flower mound, it seems the absolute hottest days of the year are the first few days in August. Then average highs and lows start to decrease. The average highs/lows on August 1st are 98/77 and by the end of the month are 93/72. This is on the weather underground almanac.

Do you think biden has thought what his legacy would be if he runs and loses to trump with even 10% of project 2025 making it into legislation?

He's more of a senator

I've always thought when people said we are in a simulation, that they were just being funny. Seemed too far fetched. Now I believe there is a non zero chance we are a must see tv show for a highly advanced alien race who has had us in some type of matrix/Truman show since the 50s. Ratings were down in 2019 so here we are.

I read this as " young people are going to vote this time, really."

Stupid list is stupid.

Today is the first really shitty day in dfw. 103-105ish with heat indexes over 110. 96 or so by noon and low today was 81 for this morning. Looks like it's short lived though. Tomorrow back down to 97 and then a cool front the rest of the week.

All 12 of them?

Trump is now a war hero

This is going to be awful for our country. This fear and hatred has been decades in the making but its here now and not much we can do to stop it but watch and pray.

La nina formation being pushed back to late summer, early fall has helped. Hopefully the neutral pattern we are in will hold until late Sept or early October. It's the best we can hope for. I also could be talking out of my ass.

My honest answer is I'm not sure yet.

Gotta be good news in mid july when there has been 1 post in blastfurnace in the last 3 days and it's been about fucked up temps in Colorado. So far so good. This has been a decently hot summer so far but not blast furnace hot, at least with what it has been the past 2 summers. Even the 10 day is not awful and that takes us toward end of July. Then it's just worrying about August and maybe a week or 2 in Sept. One day at a time.

Time to watch for any credit cards popping up under my name i guess.

If I had a nickel. Its like they take a class for this.

I don't know. Is it you?

The think tank behind the democratic party, those who actually make the decisions are, and have always been fucking idiots. The fact we are even in this situation pisses me off to no end. I am on the side of God damned idiots. This is their job, to strategize, for the present and for the future. Yet here we are. For decades their messaging has missed the mark while the republicans know EXACTLY how stupid/fearful the average human being is. The democrats play in LA LA land and now we may/will lose everything because of it. Maybe Ill just start to embrace my male whiteness and think, yea perhaps this is for the best. This is the best the human race can do. People refuse to critically think because thinking critically is scary. They would much rather be told what to do and get lost in their racism/fear of God bullshit. Or do nothing as they get poorer because they have no time to do anything but work. Im getting more and more pissed off by the day from all of it. Whatever.

I was going to make a joke or tongue in cheek comment on this but it looks like I was 13 minutes too late and this post was already quoted like 4 times. I will say, my joke was going to be funny. A real shame.

Dallas getting fucked for rain.
