    Curious to hear your report back on PL. I was touting Hutchins years ago before it was popular but havent been in almost 2 years at this point. Cattleack is amazing, but as I said, I just don't have the patience for that type of cluster anymore in my old age. Time is money. What is up with Lockhart Smokehouse (Bishop Arts or E. Plano)? Do they still exist? The best Dallas BBQ I ever had was at Lockhart Smokehouse sometime around...2012 maybe 2013, at the Bishop Arts location. They are never ranked or discussed or anything. For many years the Plano location was a solid business lunch spot that was fantastic and more than a few steps above Hard Eight/Ten50 which is where most of these wahoo consultants who went to like A&M and Baylor and out of state, thought was good bbq.

    I think it does change it just by virtue of being less vulgar.

    @RomaVicta why do stocks go up? Because more people want to buy than sell.
  6. DonkeyCigars
    Yes.

    But those are all smart tactics

    1. Flat YoY taxes for middle class 2. (Continued) Strong military/geopolitical investments to combat China/Russia 3. UBI for those who struggle to contribute and earn

    My comment was speaking to the lack of respect (i.e. insulting our intelligence) that he gives instead of speaking frankly with some candor. Someone up thread made the comment of it being like Coachspeak or press conference nonsense and I agree. We hate being condescended to by coaches because we have eyeballs and brains and this is the same thing, the coach of the USA is saying "Our loss had nothing to do with our lack of offense or inability to move the ball, but I don't know what it was, I'll need to look at the game film". Biden is basically Jason Garrett.

    It's a story as old as time; Democratic-Republicans versus Federalists, etc.

    I've eaten PL since it was at the Farmer's Market and over all these years I've never experienced the decline that has become codified in BBQ critic narratives. Maybe I've just gotten lucky and gone on lucky days or maybe it's like fashion and will be fashionable again on a cycle in a few years when it's trendy, but Terry Black's brisket is noticeably sweeter (less smokey) and the sweet pepper bark of ribs is trying too hard and the sausage has no hint of crumble/course ground and the greasy snap of the casing. That's quintessential sausage to me (Lockhart-style) and it's non-negotiable for my standards that a BBQ spot excel at brisket and sausage as 1a and 1b.

    yea, I don't know man. Had a BBQ snob friend from out of town have the exact same experience as me (opposite of you) over TX/OU weekend as well.

    This has been my diagnosis/hypothesis for the past year. Way too many personalities and interests to align on a fuzzy consensus versus just general platitudes (e.g. CHANGE or HOPE or Not DJT). I look at foreign country politics and think that is the future. Many, disparate parties that alone cannot carry a majority or a win, but must work together to create coalitions and deals (which are fluid/dynamic) in order to build a majority. It fosters cooperation, deal-making, give-to-get, etc. and punishes inertia and stone-walling because if you don't move to make a deal perhaps a coalition of your competitors are.

    Joe Biden quoted on CNN saying "I don't think the results in the elections last night had anything to do with what I'm doing or not doing". wow. Is he really that oblivious or a liar now?

    I disagree; went a few days ago before a Mavs game-- regretted it because it was average at best. Regretted not going up the street to Pecan Lodge where I've never had a subpar meal (the last one a month ago or so which was way better). I agree with @Stunns38 on this one. Brisket PL>>TB Sausage PL>>>>>>TB Pork Ribs PL>TB Sides - who cares, but I would say a push The one positive thing about TB's is it is always pretty sparsely populated and kinda dead, so lines seems short. I want to try Slow Bone and don't have the patience for Cattle Ack anymore.

    "Trump being off twitter was a help because people forgot what his behavior was like and it was a detriment to democrats, because they had no fodder to stir fear and doubt"
  17. DonkeyCigars
    haha yes, yes we have.

    Had Terry Black's last weekend and it was not only not impressive, but not very good. Maybe it was an off day. Wish I would have gone somewhere else.
  19. DonkeyCigars
    I think CNN said something interesting, "The problem with Democrats is they made this about Trump and Trump was not on the ballot. And this was the canary in the coal mine" It sounds like this was a good wake up call, potentially, to pivot the message as Dems have wrung all the mileage out of the political position of alternative candidacy e.g. "anyone but Trump" or "anything is better than trump so vote for me". Obviously the calculus changes in 2024 if Trump the man actually runs, but this might be an "a-ha!" for mid terms in 2022....you actually have to do/say something in 2022 instead of just be a warm bodied alternative to overt and obvious Trumpism. CNN: "Democrats kept Trump at the center of their campaign and lost; Republicans kept him at arms length and won"

    They aren't going to like Youngkin saying the spirit of [a bunch of dead white guys] is taking the spirit of the commonwealth back.
  21. DonkeyCigars
    Okay. I'm just saying you'd do good to read what Longhornmatt said because in my opinion he very eloquently and pithily nailed the CRT issue as a political issue, which is what your question was in your post.
  22. DonkeyCigars
    Longhornmatt explained it better than I ever could, read this again, slowly: Everyone focus groups attack messages, and if you don’t understand how lots of people can be troubled in good faith by things like CRT without ascribing it to ignorance or dirty tricks then you’re as much in your bubble as the guy applauding Tucker Carlson every night. And I’ll preemptively suggest that saying, “Well, actually CRT in its academic form is defined as ______, so you and anyone else using it to describe what actually is happening in practice instead of what it’s supposed to mean must be a stupid racist rube” is not a great counter and campaign slogan.
  23. DonkeyCigars
    yes
  24. DonkeyCigars
    This guy is going places.

    CNN just called it for Youngkin.
