    Eh, people will get over it.

    Yeah, but you should have also wanted us that you might act like bitches if our side lost.

    I guess I may be misinterpreting this thread, because to me the critical language is the highlighted language. Thus, I thought our discussions were going to assume that the Dems were going to have NO chance of doing anything in their traditional playbook, and this entire thread would be about discussing things during a Truce with that in mind. Thus, in Carton's policy thoughts above, I thought the only thing that would be relevant to this thread was regarding manufacturing, because none of the other proposals have a chance in hell. Truce or no truce. Although IMO quadratic voting would solve all of our problems and make all our dreams come true.

    No President has shaken up the landscape such that it seriously affects the economies of the region and nation. This President is threatening to do that. And if he does, that could lead to actual sound policy way down the line.

    Sounds like you have never met an English lit major. We're stress monkeys.

    Position: The immigration issue needs to be transparent. We need to have people abide by laws and we need to allow workers into the country as needed. I think Trump trying to blow things up is going to lead to some cruelty, but it's also going to hopefully lead to honesty about the need for cheap labor, whether Americans are willing to pay more for labor, whether we need a much more robust temporary worker program, etc. Which in turn could lead to a situation where people and businesses can actually survive and comply with the law at the same time. Netted out: I don't trust Trump's motives at all but this could lead to somewhat depoliticizing the issue.

    Trump is going to blow a lot of shit up that frankly needs mending. The question is whether he will blow it up beyond mending. I'm not going to collaborate but my attitude is going to be rope-a-dope.

    It's going to be more fucked up than last time because no adults in the room but we (as in the demographic of folks who post on this board) will generally be fine so we need to apportion our bitchiness appropriately. Which isn't right now.

    Thanks God we've got Texas legislators to protect our elections.

    Suitcase already packed. Just need to get some pesos at La Michoacana.

    Don't be dense. (That's rhetorical.)

    I didn't help but what a vato to do? I just hope they drop me off somewhere on the coast.

    Everyone have a good day. Been spending lots of time walking the younger daughter off the ledge, trying to convince her today is not a good day to stop being friends with everyone who you suspect might have voted for Trump. Especially her brother in law. She just let us know she signed up for some volunteer opportunities at the local Planned Parenthood. Not a bad way to do some constructive cooling off.

    I don't think there is any need to move left or right. Or any concern if there is a slight move left or right. Dems lost this election because Biden did a shitty job of actual efforts on the border and marketing those efforts. He and Harris also did a shitty job of explaining the inflationary effects of the infrastructure bill and how we overshot the mark but were doing it to protect jobs. But mostly just the world economy and higher prices over the last four years. Covid giveth the Dems a victory and Covid taketh away.

    Glad you got that off your chest.

    My Texas Syndicate primos are a serious pain in the ass so he'd be doing me a solid.

    Okay, not meaning to rain on anyone's parade, but I know lots of very nice Trump voters. They are misinformed, and wrongheaded, but I'd still trust them when it came down to "humanity" or helping their fellow man. EOM
  19. The Original Greaser Bob
    Um, I'm okay without a rebuke. I just would like a win.

    Fire James Carville!!!!!

    You live in New York, so there's that.

    Okay, I'll admit it, I don't know the genesis of the chili's talk.

    I'm going to enjoy Tre Johnson and hope the rest gels. it would be nice to have a couple more grown-ass men on this team though.

    My dog doesn’t give a fuck.

    This is where my wife introduced me to her Hockaday friends. They terrified me.
