    In the long term, they are fucking the state by driving people away.

    I don't have the demographic data in front of me, but my feeling is they are driving MAGA into the state and driving progressives out. In my immediate family, my daughter has moved to DC and the only reason we are locked in is because my grandson is going to live in Texas - parents are locked into an established local business. 

    They are riding a nice economic wave and doing exactly what they want.  This is the plan.

    I'm all for democracy but this is what comes from voting in assholes, and that is what Texas does well.

  2. I was just listening to Rebels Without Applause by Morrissey and for some reason, even though Rourke didn't play on that, it reminded me of how important that bass sound was.  Still one of my favorite album inner sleeves.  (Hatful of Holow).

    Purchased at Inner Sanctum Records, 1985.

    If he's willing to do that, he might as well do this, it'd probably get more votes --

     

    Allred would win in a landslide if that was his opening statement.  Although Cruz would win in an even bigger landslide if he opened that way.

    If I wasn’t trans and was ok with death threats I’d fucking run - the gun issue isn’t hard - love guns, show you love them, then be like “but not a fan of kids getting mowed down so let’s do something.”

    So fucking easy for Beto or Colin to go to south texas, kill a deer, pose with rifle and dead dear, and post photo.

    Profit.  Better yet, befriend Peter Attia and start raving about your love of axis venison and how wonderful it is to hunt axis dear.  Axis -- that's a bonus word.

    My 15 year old asked to go to the SM outlets today. I asked her if she felt a little strange going after what happened yesterday and she said not really since she goes to school the day after they happen all the time. Fuck. 

    If you stop going to malls and schools, the Republicans win.

    I'm sure he'll get better counsel at trial than "Don't open with 'I couldn't rape somebody that looks like that', Mr. President."  But that he's been touting that line for decades is so fucking bizarre to me.  I know there is rape culture, and then there's arrogant rape culture.  And there's what Commander Dipshit is doing.  We gotta let the judicial process play out here, I get it.  But opening with "not my type" and then "Oh hey, it's my ex-wife who I banged against her will on occasion" is just a really fucking weird opening salvo for a guy who used to direct nuclear submarines into hurricanes.  

    I'd go with "She was relaxed and she enjoyed it."

  7. Women Talking (in a barn) 2022

    In the end a nice acting exercise for the ladies.  It could have used a "goodbye whore" line at the end. I had hopes that it would get all wacky and violent, but instead it addressed the important question as to how long one could be in a meeting with a bunch of women without pulling one's hair out. 

    I do like Jessie Buckley.

    Allred is a good candidate. I just wish he didn't have to remind anyone he went to Baylor.

    Texan's will  love that he got his law degree at Berkeley, though.  (Texan's are all in for the weenies when it comes time for The Big Game.)

  9. When Allred won his Congressional seat against Pete Sessions, the national dems backed him and he had a really good cadre of young folks working on his ticket.  When I showed up to block walk it was all business, but young and energetic.  

    As to Hispanics - they are undependable but they like football.  So I would say he has a better shot with them than Beto did.  Get some photo ops with Dallas Cowboys. 

    To me, the issue with Cruz is that everyone really knows he's a fat gutless chode, and just by standing there Allred is going to make that point without having to say a word.   

    I have no faith in Texas and I do expect to lose, but this is a good choice.  Allred is young and he had to be trained to be a politician but he's caught on and he seems unflappable.  I like the comparison.

  10. You're missing the point.  She's shitty and this would be a good opportunity to replace her with a good Senator.

     

    And voters and good young candidates should take care of the olds, but the former are stupid and the latter are hard to find.
