  1. As we continue the clean out of decades of life at my folks’ house, I came across a previously untouched box of record albums. It has some treasures in it, and I will share some of them with you, starting tonight (because this TX-GA game is killing me). We begin with “Jimmy Dean, Mr. Country Music.” Still sealed. I’m sure it’s a fine record…but I wonder what Randy Taylor thinks about it? What do you think, @Bozo_Casanova ? And of course, with this next one, you can’t go wrong in Texas, where Bob Wills is still the king.
  2. Yeah, Orange to Beaumont isn’t so bad. We’d drive in to Beaumont for dinner sometimes when I was working in Orange.
  3. Operation Rock Hard Cock Spurting in My Mouth, the invasion of Venezuela, is gonna be lit.
  4. Goddammit gotta catch that shit.
  5. Merican freedoming intensifies.
  6. That trooper is the perfect encapsulation of this country and state. Pure trash. And he’ll be lionized as a hero, and will likely have a statue at Pyle Field, the Capitol, or both within a year.
  7. That is so fucking beautiful it legit brings tears to my eyes.
  8. That is the official feeling of America. You are a patriot.
  9. We live in nothing but a kleptocracy now. If it benefits the regime or its friends, money will flow. Anything else, get fucked. As a taxpayer, right now, you are simply sending money to Donald trump to either take personally, or distribute to his family and friends (who will of course pay him a vig). We are seeing the greatest looting of any country’s treasury in human history. And we’re just at the beginning.
  10. This. Any system has a tendency and risk of having too much power concentrate in one place or another. Which is why balanced approaches - things like free trade and free enterprise…with union protection and safety and environmental protection regulations - are best. We’re tearing that up and going full-on onto the “let’s try unregulated oligarchy that operates completely outside of the rule of law.” And we’re doing it in the name of…it will help…the people? Jesus we’re so fucking dumb it hurts.
  11. I literally just saw a clip of him saying “I’m the chief law enforcement officer of the country.” You fucking idiots gave a megalomaniac absolute power. Goddamn yall are so fucking stupid.
  12. Man, it’s nice when your family supports you.
  13. Also has three beautiful corsairs. Walked into the hangar and even my wife said “damn, those are sexy.”
  14. I said gotdamn. Preach.
  15. Dude. The tariffs are a big, beautiful tax on other countries. And stopping the tariffs will obviously make things cheaper for American consumers, who also weren't paying for the tariffs.
  16. AT age 13...MANY years ago....when they were 2 for .99, we'd ride our bikes around all day. And I'd have $2 and change in my pocket, so we could stop at JITB and get 4 tacos for fuel. Then get back on our bikes and ride miles in the Houston summer heat. There is no creature as resilient and immortal as a 13 yr old boy.
  17. Because it's not a case. It's a grift. This entire Regime is a grift. We just invited shameless thieves into the Treasury. And we're getting the result you'd expect.
  18. Yeah...the contrast with "prosperity gospel" is too rich. Interestingly enough, a couple of weeks ago, we were chatting in the evening, and ended up talking about the Swedish expression "Lagom är bäst," which translates to "enough is as good as a feast." My wife used the expression while presiding at the table the next Sunday, and in the context of the day and the sermon that had just been preached, it was fantastic. We really dug into it at our house, and talked about what it means in the most direct context of food. We are definitely foodies, and have had incredible meals in some amazing places. Some of them quite fancy and expensive. But we also talked about the meals that have made us happiest in our lives. A ham sandwich and potato chips at your kitchen table with your friends after swimming all day. A warm bowl of beans and fresh tortillas sitting on a dirt floor. The bag of fresh, hot mixed tacos we picked up from Taco Cabana in Feb of 2021, when our power came back on, and our house warmed back up. Burgers on our back patio, laughing with friends. We were hungry. And we had....enough. Our bellies were filled. Not to excess. Not with extravagance. But with enough. And how could you live a life where you don't want EVERYONE to have "enough?" And if that means sharing what's on your plate -- literally or metaphorically -- then why wouldn't you? In case you couldn't tell theology of the table is a big thing at our casa. It's just basic Matthew 25: 35-40 stuff. As you do for the least of these. WTF? How does so much of American "Christianity" get that so fucking wrong?
  19. I mean, it really is fantastic -- they've worked out a perfect work-around to avoid any legal prohibitions on gifts of government funds to individuals. Can the government give me $50 million? Of course not. Can I file suit against the government for.....literally ANYTHING, it really doesn't matter....and then have the Trump-owned DOJ "settle" my claim for eleventy trillion dollars? You bet. Our treasury has an open door for any ally of the Trump regime, with no cap or spending limit. Come in, take whatever you want. It's fucking amazing, and every single Trump supporter who said they wanted to "drain the swamp" is 100% okay with this. This is on track to the be the greatest looting of the US treasury in history, without there even being a close second. And all the MAGAs love it. Because draining the treasury for private gain of their guys is really "owning the libs," and in the end, that's all that matters. When this regime is done, the treasury will look like this: And they'll be just fine with it, because LIBS OWNED.
  20. “See that bridge? Built it with me own two hands. Carried the stone from the quarry on me own back, placed each one on top of th’other with great skill. Ya could drive a bloody herd of cattle over it without the least fear of damage, so strong is it. But do they call me ‘McGonagall The Bridge Builder’? No! They do na!” (repeat same basic story with the mill) “But do they call me ‘McGonagall The Millwright’? No! They do na!” (repeat same basic story with the kirk) "So do they call me ‘McGonagall The Kirk Builder’? No! They do na! But shag one sheep…"
  21. Better than dying to Taylor Swift.
  22. All of this is true. You and I explained this early on in the process -- there's a reason that the cops don't release all the emails and text messages they collected in every criminal case they have investigated -- it doesn't go public unless it's actually used in court. But Donny boy doesn't give a fuck about that distinction. Donny boy promised this, hundreds of times, and made it a centerpiece of his campaign. A very stupid dog just caught the car. Have fun, Donny boy! RELEASE THE FILES!
