Kolache Shoppe on Burnet may be done. It’s been closed for over two weeks with no note on the door about vacation. It’s the only place you can get a Kolache worth a shit in Austin.
Yeah....but they did that stupid spelling of “shoppe.” Thats hard to forgive. -
The thing about 'fuck' is that its the most perfect word ever created.
Fuckin’ a. -
"intellectual elite" means "smart people" and trumpkins don't like smart people
It doesn’t even mean “smart people.” It means “literate people who don’t drool on themselves.” The bar is WAY low these days.- 2

Have you not read about all the midwesterners who are just now realizing how his tariffs are terrible for them?
Have you not read how they are mouthbreathing morons who will end up right where they started: voting for trump cuz owning the libs and the beaners taking their jerbz?

This is why there won’t be a civil war. These snowflake assholes are scared shitless of cameras, social media, and minorities.
You know...that truth is actually one of the things that gives me some hope.
They’re fucking pathetic. -
She’s doing that girly, flirty scrunched up nose giggle thing.
First time a female member of our species has ever done that willingly to Miller’s creepy ass.

And the hell of it is, she doesn’t even have the saving grace of “well...she’s a big girl, but she’s LOTS of fun.” Nope. She’s fat, ugly (inside and out), AND a prude Bible thumper. There’s nothing redeeming about the woman. -
Government’s exhibit list in the Manafort case
https://www.scribd.com/document/384216900/Mueller-list-of-indictments-against-Manafort
436 items.
Is that a lot? Seems like a lot.Not a lot.
It’s not a lot.
I’ve gone to trial in federal court on a case with over 3,000 exhibits. Granted, it was a big case against a big bad guy, but still. I’ve had several cases with 400+ exhibits listed. -
Imagine trying to brand yourself as “Tough as Texas” and then proceeding to criticize your opponent for saying bad words.
Well, he’s a fucking pussy, so....- 4

First anti-Beto propaganda to pop up on my FB feed (I have over 4000 friends. Don't ask).
Beto has a pottymouth.
Fuck yeah he does. -

How many private meetings did other Presidents have with Russian politicians?
None.
The answer you're looking for is "none." As far as I know, even when they were just phone calls, there was someone else in the room or on the line.
That's kinda the issue, dude.

Coates may be laughing now, but that's because he doesn't know that Rachel Maddow is going to lead a coup that's going to end up with Trump decapitated on the White House lawn.

Open borders: Ideally, the freedom of movement, labor, capital, goods and services. I'll settle for trade agreements and liberal guest worker programs.
I imagine this is what ICE fans picture when they think of open borders.
Pretty much what F250 said. Current rates of population growth tell us that immigration is going to be important to our future economic viability. And, historically, within a couple of generations, immigrants have produced pretty solid, contributing Americans. If you want to come here and bust your ass -- whether it be writing code, or laying shingles -- you bring the most important economic resource a person can bring: ass-bustingness (that's the word I came up with; I'll entertain other substitute terms, so long as they're cool).
Give me a dude who's willing to work on a Texas roof in August for 10 hours a day. That guy's got a work ethic. I like that. That's what we need more of, not less of.
If you want to come here and sit on your ass, and say "poor me, I'm from another country, so I can't make any money, please take care of me," nope. Although I'm quite okay with us helping out people in actual dire straits (asylum programs). Because those folks end up REALLY grateful to the country that provided them shelter. And "grateful Americans who appreciate this country and what it gave them" is also something we need more of.
And, yeah, the "they're criminals" aspect is ridiculously overplayed. Sure, if you're an actual criminal, we shouldn't let you in. Whatever, that's not going to be nearly as big a deal as some folks think it might be.

I can't decide if she looks more like Chloe Webb
Or Tracey Ullman
Man....back in the day, I thought Tracy was kinda cute, in an 80s-riffic sorta way. Not a babe, but cute, had the cool accent, kinda funny. Yeah, I liked her.

Each new gambit - like turning a fmr US Amb. over to Putin - is a dangerous step towards an authoritarian USA, and no one will speak up in opposition.
Perhaps you didn't notice the concern, and furrowed brows among GOP leadership. Many furrows. Much brow. Wow.
4 minutes ago, TornACL said:There is certainly no way that "all flavors" of fiscal conservatives can agree on any of those things you listed. Because fiscal conservatism is a relative term. If I am a damn-near libertarian and I don't even want the government paying for new roads, I am going to consider myself fiscally conservative. If I live in San Francisco and I think some of the social services are overboard and need their purse strings tightened and watched more closely, I am going to consider myself fiscally conservative.
In fact, part of why that term has become a running joke is because only crackpots would considers themselves "fiscally reckless".
If someone tells you they're a fiscal conservative, what have you learned about them? In today's world, you've learned virtually nothing. It's the how that matters, in this case. How do they propose we practice this fiscal conservatism?
Actually a good example.
I live in Austin. I find myself pissed off at our city council regularly -- I am much more aligned with the "conservatives" like Troxclair in Austin. Here, I'm a conservative.
I live in Texas. I loathe Trump, Dan Patrick, and Rick Perry. Here, I'm a libtard.
My beliefs are the same in either venue.

The movement that started in opposition to the New Deal.
- no taxes raised to ensure social safety nets
- no government debt to ensure social safety nets
- little-to-no government regulation of industry (economic or environment regulations)
I'd say that those are 3 things all flavors of "fiscal conservative" can agree on.
If those positions (using the word "no") are fiscal conservatism, then I never was one. And neither was pretty much anyone else I knew, including some die-hard Republicans.
There's a cost-benefit of any expenditure, tax, and regulation. I think intelligent folks simply want a sound cost-benefit analysis done in order to determine the best decision (and note that "cost-benefit" is more than just direct and immediate dollars). Am I okay with raising taxes for certain expenditures? Yep. I think the cost-benefit on education spending, for example, is pretty strong. I'd pay more in taxes to improve our educational system. I think we need sound environmental regulations -- some of the ones we have are good, some are bad. Some are too onerous. Some are too weak. I look at the cost-benefit analysis reg by reg.
You do a lot of strawmanning. It's not helpful.

If this is your vision of the post trump Era, I hope your skill set is greater than cooking briskets. You won't be much use to my band of marauders.
I know my way around a pretty broad array of firearms. And I drive like an asshole.

The ending was pretty terrible.
Found it interesting that as they're driving west the sun was setting behind them. Must've been whatever caused the explosion reversed the Earth's rotation.
It's like you never watched John Wayne walking on the beach in Nam with Hamchuck, as the sun set in the East.

Next step in programming Death Crew Brisket into Glorious Comrade Brisket...
- What role do you think "fiscal conservatism" as an idea has in shaping what the American conservatives of today are?
Error: undefined term.

Just now, bad_teammate said:
I was told that "conservative" and "Republican" aren't the same thing.
When the Venn diagram of "conservatives" "Republicans" and "conservatives who are giant pussies who won't defy the GOP" is written, the overlap is nearly complete. If they are cowards -- and they are -- then the distinction is without a difference. The prominent conservatives who are actually working against the GOP is such a small number as to be statistically insignificant. There is no fixing the party from within, because the numbers won't ever get there.

Oops. Trump thought he said "Our next president must be ready to cash Putin's checks." He's not a great listener, I guess.

Conservatives could. They just don't want to.
Well, being that they're the ones executing the plan.....that's like saying that the criminal is in the best position to stop his crimes. No shit, sherlock. But it ain't happening. They are in control, they will do what they want, and what they want to do is evil.

The Republican roadmap is clear. Use voter ID laws specifically designed to disenfranchise minorities, while opening the door to Russian hackers to access state databases, figure out who the white liberals are, and fuck with their registration status.
And the thing is, it's not even subtle. It's an open and shameless roadmap. And nobody can stop it. Reason # 12,398 while I say this Republic is over.

And there's this. Which is what I have told my daughter, who is looking to go overseas for college, and does not seem particularly interested in returning to this country. I've told her that if the US is in the shit this deep....so will be any of the countries she's looking at. There's no place safe.
I've told her to learn to work on cars, and drive aggressively, to prepare for our future:

We're not coming back. This country is full of fucking morons.
70% of Republicans approve of the way Trump is handling Russia. Think about that.
This. Further discussion is pointless. I mean, we'll have it. And we'll try. But the die is cast.
As to my vision for a post-Trump America....
