  1. Really hoping that we have good reason to see you at 45th and Lamar tomorrow. And man, is it gonna be a weird convo with the wife: "So, we HAVE to go have dinner at Chili's tonight. It's, umm, an internet thing. But hey, your lawyer will be there!"
  2. This. This is the stuff. We the people need to reclaim patriotism from the fascists who performatively hug the flag while shitting on everything it stands for. It's our country. It's our flag. It's our Constitution. We won't surrender them. Not without a fucking hellacious fight.
  3. Also, there is a LOT of talk* about Sela Ward and Susanna Hoffs insisting on a threesome with Brisketexan! * The "power of positive thinking" voice inside my head counts as "a lot of talk" the same way that Trump is hearing "a lot of talk" about cheating in Philly.
  4. NORK soldiers = Surly posters if we had lived our lives sequestered in a hermit kingdom? That checks out.
  5. Again, I can't help reading shit like this that just makes me want to fucking puke.
  6. When disinformation and Russian propaganda are your best friends....you're an enemy of the fucking Republic. Period. The fact that our enemies have aligned behind one of our political parties should bother you much, much more. Yet, it doesn't. Which tells the world everything it needs to know about you.
  7. When you make "intent" an element of the offense, you winnow down that group REAL fucking quick. And way to do the perfect MAGA comparison: look at someone who fucking drives over the speed limit by 5 mph and rolls through stop signs, then a serial murderer and rapist, and say "see! They're both criminals!" Fuck that. Elon Musk is a clear and present danger to the Republic.
  8. Evangelical southern Christianity has not just aligned with, but USED "RELIGION" TO SUPPORT the following things: Slavery Jim Crow Anti-miscegenation laws Segregation Banning women from the pulpit Trumpism If there's a "WRONG FUCKING SIDE OF HISTORY" Hall of Fame, evangelical southern Christianity gets its own fucking wing.
  9. Had an asshole opposing counsel who insisted that my witness authenticate 120 documents, one-by-one, in a deposition that had already run past 5:00 on December 23rd. I still hate that fucker.
  10. I've been trying to make sense of all the data. I finally found a summary that makes sense to me.
  11. Elon Musk is actively conspiring against the United States of America. In case there was any doubt. He is an illegal alien (yep, he lied on his application, he should be 100% denaturalized), he conspires with foreign states (he is in regular contact with Putin), and is actively working to undermine the foundational event in the Republic - an election - using false information and disinformation to do so. Tokyo Rose and Axis Sally were less reprehensible than he is.
  12. You, sir....are a great American. Seriously, thank you. Tears in my eyes. This is what we can be. This is what we SHOULD BE. Is it what we are? Time will tell. But for now....
  13. I just feel like today, we're right here: And remember, Ike wrote two statements for D-day. One in case of failure. The world is watching. So much is in the balance. And it will be decided as it was before, by ordinary men and women. The part I just can't believe is that it is our fellow Americans standing on the shore, intent on destroying us.
  14. Yeah, same here. Much of our chat is in German (which pisses me off, because I have to translate it on google). Some clips -- and even if you don't speak German, you can get the gist: Ich bin so krass nervös Ich glaube nicht dass ich heute nacht schlafen werde… I am wearing blue today. Ehrlich gesagt fühle ich mich ein bisschen blöd, dass ich noch ein bisschen Hoffnung habe The whole fucking world is watching to see if we flip the boat over or not. It's fucking maddening.
  15. No shit. Russia openly supports Trump and wants him to win. Again, Trump voters KNOW that an enemy state that hates our country and wants us to falter SUPPORTS TRUMP....and they still side with him. It's as fucking insane as a Longhorn fan agreeing with an Aggy fan who says "oh, y'all should totally start Brisketexan as QB when y'all play aggy. Yeah, a middle aged dude with a noodle arm and a bad knee.....that's how you wanna go." THEY WANT US TO SUCK. AND TO ACCOMPLISH THAT, THEY SUPPORT TRUMP. THAT TELLS YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW. So, I do hate a significant part of this country for being that stupid/hateful.
  16. This. Totally this for me. I have felt like I want to puke all day so far, and it will only get worse. I love my country. I love it so much it hurts. It has given my family opportunity for generations. It has been a place that is and always has been wildly imperfect yet, somehow, has found a way to improve over time. As they say, "reformed, but always reforming." We are a good country, and we have tried over time to become a great one. It is a process, but one that - for most of my life - I believed we continued to move towards. Yes, with failures, yes, with missteps, but overall heading in the right historical direction. The past 15+ years have caused me to doubt that (Obama's election revealed how awful a huge swath of our country and fellow citizens are, and it has only gotten MUCH worse). I truly don't know who "we the people" are anymore. I don't believe, like I once did, that we can and will find ways to be better. I want to hope that we will. But hope, in these times, is a precursor to disappointment. And we've had a cascade of disappointments, shocking ones. To my dying day, I will never forget those moments on January 6th when, driving through nowhere W. Texas, I heard them announce that the insurrectionists had broken through and were inside the Capitol. As our phones started blowing up from friends all over the world asking us "WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?" I want to believe that we can be the nation I knew and believed in most of my life. But I also know that we are the nation that had January 6th, and might have another one of those. This feeling is like being in crisis with someone you deeply love. Will she go off the deep end, turning her back on all the things that made her good, and leading you to the inevitable conclusion of "she's gone....this relationship isn't worth saving?" Or will she find her way to reaffirm the best of who she is and can be, so you think "there she is....the person I love is still there?" I feel like I would if I was sitting in my living room, waiting for her answer. And yeah, I wanna puke. I love her. And she's been breaking my fucking heart.
  17. The problem is that polling is all over the fucking map. Sure, Poll X is repub biased, but so is Poll Y, and it was pretty accurate in 2020, and Poll Z was pretty accurate in 2022, but its cross tabs look off, etc etc. We have no idea what’s going to happen. So why not expect the worst?
  18. Rogan is what he was always gonna be. A simple-minded shallow thinking historically ignorant tool for fascism.
  19. I love you guys…but there’s a lot of crack smoking and fart sniffing going on around here.
  20. The part I love most about the "master race" is that every fucking clown who trumpets the "master race" is an amalgam of genetic detritus that, with years of hard work and dedication, and numerous lucky breaks, might be able to claim a spot in the bottom 25th percentile of human achievement.
  21. I suspect this is why it was denied: That's a good mootness argument. If the claim was based solely on Pa. law and actions occurring in Pa., and no further actions will occur, then there is no dispute going forward to resolve. And that deprives the court of jurisdiction to act (courts only resolve actual disputes - and for injunctions, that dispute MUST be about a future harm). It's a scam. And anyone who signed the petition may have an independent claim against Musk for fraud or something similar. Musk is a piece of dick.
