  1. Yep, exactly. Minus the ESPN.
  2. I'll be honest. When I heard him going around the room and introducing everyone, I thought - imagine if this guy wasn't a complete dick. Just kind of a buffoon but with just the most minimal, basic pro-American, pro-people instincts. He could be tolerable. And kind of funny.
  3. I get in trouble with my wife because when my Allen grandson tells me the names of his classmates (in one of the diverse areas) I just chortle, King of the Hill style.
  4. I guess I need to get back to Rockwall because the Woodlands>>>>>Rockwall. If the Woodlands is as Trumpy at least it has a Stepford Wives vibe that is doable.
  5. Okay, Rockwall is weird as shit and I'm not going to defend Frisco/Allen/Plano unconditionally but there are some relatively diverse pockets of population there. Dallas stretches up to McKinney. It doesn't "stretch" to Rockwall or those places.
  6. One block from my daughter's place in Mt. Pleasant - where we hang out when we visit.
  7. I just want Zelensky to show up in a tuxedo.
  8. Comparing Lando to Trump. Will the outrages never stop?
  9. Ha. JD's going to be ripped and ready and loaded for bear.
  10. Fuck all this "Trump got played" nonsense. He's a Russian asset. He and Putin are in this together.
  11. Third Man director: Carol Reed Touch of Evil and Citizen Kane director: Orson Wells I recommend The Fallen Idol, one of the Carol Reed Holy Trinity that he did in three successive years (3rd Man, Odd Man Out, The Fallen Idol). A truly unique, odd, and entertaining flick.
  12. So, what big, beautiful site are they going to house the homeless they are removing from DC?
  13. now the party starts! It's a starting point for Vlad to lick my balls.
  14. Fuck both these assholes.
  15. I'll stop now since you seem to be communicating with multiple people and I seem to be expected to go beyond the four corners of your posts. I don't think there are enough trans people to win a national election either. I think any political party should stand for the rights of the poor, and blue collar, and the oppressed including trans people. I think that very much is a strategy. Much less a requirement of the Constitution.
  16. I think he was saying that arguing on behalf of the blue collar and the poor is the blueprint. Not the whole package.
  17. Just because you are arguing that you support electing a seriously flawed candidate doesn't mean you think the candidate should be a blueprint.
  18. (Edit: I guess I'm the only person not getting the chemistry between Rogan and Byne.) Only a few episodes in on Platonic but have to say, this would have worked better if they never showed any scenes related to the platonic relationship. Just Seth Rogan telling his friends about the relationship. No issues with Rose Byne but her character is just poorly developed. Maybe it will get better. They latched on to a real issue (the mom who falls off the partner track) but just not realistic as presented. The show just comes to a halt when it's just the two main characters.
  19. "Steak is not a good metaphor because nothing is worse for the environment than ranch raised beef." - A progressive Dem.
  20. I think it's important to distinguish people who may have a centrist approach who don't necessarily feel a kinship with the wealthy Dem establishment. There are centrists who want progress, and the Dem establishment fell asleep on the job and lost labor, lost safety and security, and allowed themselves to be painted as bad on the economy. I'm for massive immigration but with rigid controls. I'm pro-law enforcement but holding them to the highest standards. I think we should be radically affirmative action based on economic need and lack of economic opportunity and think that should replace any race-based criteria. (That might look Republican-y a few decades ago, but calling anything Republican-y is literally just saying it's pro-mendacity and pro-corruption and anti-Constitution.) More important than those policy preferences is rule of law and separation of powers and ethical standards. I'm for the most progressive tax system possible without clearly harming the economy. I'm libertarian on most issues and want some more gun regulation. I want the fucking old-Testament religious nationalists crucified along 35 between West and Salado. I view that as relatively centrist. The Dem Establishment blew their chance to get us there and we might just have to build back better with Progressives. Any alternative is a non-starter. We haven't ever lived in an easier time to pick the greater of evils.
  21. ??? I guess he is mostly fatter in The Third Man.
  22. He's no Briscoe, I can tell you that.
  23. 9 kids...jesus christ.
