I don’t think wanting to pass laws restricting the rights of their citizens to bear arms is handling things well. It’s their country not mine so I don’t care.
I’m waiting on my car and had to chuckle with these tools on CNN saying white nationalist terrorism is the greatest threat to our country. Bullshit it’s not. Islamic terror is and we should never lose focus on that.
What pisses me off about this situation is my family are secular and so are all of our friends who were no longer welcome when the Muslims came to power in Iran. Great civilizations in the pre-Islamic period in Egypt and Iran were run roughshod by Muslim invaders. My heroes Ataturk and Shah Reza ripples hijabs off women wearing them in public. They understood the threat Islam poses. Muslims will do the same here if given the opportunity.
What’s worse is that they have been emboldended and gotten uppity even though those who wear hijabs are by that act alone have shown their hostility to Western and American values. A group like CAIR should never be allowed to operate in this country. They’re an extension of the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood. Does this mean that some little lady that wears a hijab minding her own business is a terrorist or threat. No. But Muslims as a community have alien values and mentality and to pretend that’s not the case is ridiculous.
Yeah. And we wonder why people shoot up mosques and kill 49 people to “defend our civilization.”
Thinking just like this is why. After all, if they are the greatest threat we face, it only makes sense to take them out. Really, it’s an act of self defense. -

Remember what leadership looks like?
Not really. In fairness, his maturity and intelligence appear to eclipse anyone in leadership in my adult life.-

Wow.
Damn.
That’s fantastic.

He's not bulletproof. That's silly. The GOP doesn't have anything to do with what happens to him once he's no longer president.
Donald Trump has a ton of legal jeopardy.
Oh...you think that the GOP Senate won’t act like domestic terrorists under the next president. You’re cute. They will abuse the legislative process like you e never imagined. They will refuse to pass any bill that funds the SDNY, for example. There are lots of ways that they can protect Trump and destroy the county in the process. Count on them to do that.-

Ooof I did the same after seeing Egg Boy on my timeline.
It was mildly reassuring and nauseating that we aren’t the only country that elects complete and utter bastards.
Australia has some SERIOUS issues with this shit. We like to think they’re all nice folks with cool accents. They aren’t. -

Some interesting legislation proposed in The Lege.
I'm for stiffer penalties for the gross illegal taking of fish.
I'm not for allowing the taking of feral hogs without a license. I don't care how many get whacked nor by the means by which they're taken. All hunters and / or "depridators" need to have a hunting license. TPWD nees the money, as well.
The boat engine cut-off thing sounds reasonable.
I am really curious as to the amount of the proposed fee for MLDP participants as my group is on the MLDP III plan.
Thoughts?
The constitutional amendment dedicating all sporting goods sales taxes to TPWD and the historical commission, as was originally promised, is a great idea. -
Suffer no consequences for my crimes.Oh. Then I think that will prove to be wildly inaccurate when this is all said and done.
Hugo is right. You are wrong. He is bulletproof. Treasonous GOP assures it. -
The Dem attacks on Beto are turning me off of the party for good. I just won't vote
Yeah...how dare a party subject s candidate to scrutiny and weed out those with material weaknesses. They should instead go full-on cult of personality and nominate a dem trump.
If Beto has the goods to withstand scrutiny, he’ll win. If not, he won’t. I like him. But he has flaws. How he deals with them tells us whether he’s president material or not.-

My wife is very smart. Three degrees. Better read than I am. A cutting edge theologian.
But Goddamit, she has one grammar foible that drives me NUTS.
“So, I was talking to Jane Smith the other day - remember, I married SHE and her husband.”
Finally, today, I cracked. “No. You married HER and her husband. She is the object of the sentence, so it’s “her.””
Tone.
Sorry. I couldn’t take it anymore.-

Seems kind of like you’re demonizing and dehumanizing and othering them and whatever you’re all hung up on on a different diatribe.
Nah. They’re very human. Who committed individual, specific acts. It’s about what they did, which tells us who they are.
Good try, though. Wait...no it wasn’t. It was weak shit. -
Since this thread has completely gone Cloak.
Brisket you are completely full of shit on this. Both sides have been spewing hatred since Trump was elected. Demos from election night on were spurring the hatred. "Resist... get in Republicans faces and let them know they are not safe anywhere they go. It's a white lash" Just a mashup of what I have seen and heard myself. I will provide the links if you want.
MSNBC and CNN have just as much to do with this as Fox does.
I am not a white nationalist if I simply want our border secured and immigration laws, that were passed by the Congress and Senate, enforced. If they don't like the laws they should change them. Isn't that we elected them to do?
Have you called Muslims “subliterate primitive monkeys,” or cheered people who do? Demonized Mexicans as murderers and rapists, and cheered when that was said?
If not...then you’re not part of the problem. I’m fine with political disagreement. The whole discussion here has been about dehumanizing and demonizing rhetoric - THAT’S the problem. And yeah, trump’s part of that problem. But simply being on his side of the aisle isn’t the problem. The white nationalist rhetoric is the dangerous shit.
So, your post above is a nifty straw man.-

That's quite the list of data points! How many does it take to qualify for "their kind"? Two famous people who until this week lived decades in the public eye without a whiff of scandal (as far as I know) raised a spoiled teenager and broke the law to get her and her sister into USC. What the parents did was illegal and immoral and I assume they will be punished. Going from there to "oh I know their kind and trust me they're perpetual sinners who can't change and see themselves as victims"? Nope, not based on what's known so far.
They’re entitled shits. They’re not mysterious, and they aren’t confined to famous actresses and family. Are these seriously the first entitled shits you’ve ever met or heard of? If not...how many of those entitled shits ever changed their ways when they faced any measure of consequences? In my experience, that number remains pegged at zero. -
Bobby, you sound like a top-notch pilot. I’d be happy having you flying on my next flight.
My only point is this: not every pilot is as good as Bobby. And Boeing knows this. If they can take a simple step that significantly reduces the effect of a particular pilot error, they should take that step.
You don’t build cars for Mario Andretti. You build them for the average driver. You don’t build planes for Sully and Bobby...you build them for mediocre pilots, which are a statistical certainty.-

Speaking of sausage, did a cook a few weeks ago. Picked up some fresh beef/pork links from Texas Sausage Company on E. 12th. Highly recommend for some local links.
Hell....YES. That’s my go-to place, and I’m glad it’s not a secret. Gotta support them. It’s where I get the sausage when I’m doing a smoke, and it’s where I get my deer processed - people rave about the pan sausage. -

Goddamnit, fuck.
I regret this exchange. I like you Brisket & we agree on too many other things.
Can we bury this shit? Hit reset?
the rest of you? Bugger off
That's fair. I just get pissed off by this shit....it's just this war, and that lying sonofabitch Johnson.

Beto is the perfect VP candidate. Fantastic, energetic campaigner. Could conceivably do the job of president if needed. Can calm moderates into supporting a ticket with an outspoken lib like Warren at the top. Being from Texas will balance someone from the coasts in the top spot. Plus being some border state cred into an election in which immigration will be a big issue.
That's about where I can see him.
The same problems I had with Obama (hopey changey, but no real executive experience -- and that shit matters). Shit, that same thing is a core failing of Trump (he's never been an executive who has to answer to anyone -- and that means he's never been an executive at all. Nevermind his numerous other hideous failings, of course).
I want someone who has had to work WITH other people, in challenging situations. At the very least, have some real experience in the trenches of legislative battle, so you have an idea how this shit works. Beto has a fair amount of that, but not a lot.
Beto's upside is what Mojo posted....which means he's VP material.

This is my current position on the presidential race. It will likely stay that way.

Don’t stop there Brisket, there much more of your smug act left in the tank, I just know it. Cmon baby, I have faith in you!
maybe if you flail your arms around some more mosquito season wont be so bad.
My smugness isn't an act. You should know that by now.
Just like your cowardice comes naturally to you.

Did he kill Muslims because he loves trees? Or maybe it was because he loves China. Or maybe it was because he loves unions.
Or maybe....and I’m just spitballin’ here...it’s because he believes that Muslims are incompatible with and a threat to western civilization, a perfect reflection of the rhetoric of trump, Miller, Bannon, Owens, Hannity, Dobbs, etc etc.
Nah, that couldn’t be it. It was clearly about trees.
