The Original Greaser Bob

You're going to need to stop blowing Trump if you want to claim the pretend mantle of the conservatism of the 80s.

Liked it, but still depressed about Jenny gd it.

Fuck that guy. There is only one John Hagee and he spells his name John HAGY!

Sorcerer (1977) Nothing like a country drive with a buddy. A worthy remake of Wages of Fear.

Hiding in one of my posts above is the idea that their existence is a "pretense". I'm sticking by that "ideal" even though I can't produce an example at this point.

If Republicans aren't continuing to champion the big lie and other conspiracy theories, then they should be treated somewhat seriously. Basically, instead of arguing "fuck all Republicans" I'm leaving a very small bucket of Republicans who should be listened to and whose policies should be debated. Even if they don't disown Trumpism to my satisfaction.

Jesus. For fuck's sake... https://www.ontheissues.org/nikki_haley.htm

Ultimately all joking aside, I think one has to decide which candidates, if any, to take seriously. I've got the opinion that people should be retweeting or linking to any articles/links/tweets of obvious liars and conspiracy nuts like MTG, Matt G. or Trump. I wouldn't vote for anyone who is an apologist for Trump's actions. And I wouldn't vote for anyone who essentially laughs it off with a "you can't take what he says literally". But I do think that there is an argument that IF there is anyone out there -- and I will admit at this point it's a pretense more than a reality -- who wants to come up with a fiscally and ethical response to Democratic policies -- they can't hammer Trump if they want to get elected. Ultimately, in states like Texas that aren't going to be blue for a while, the question is whether Republican representatives can be less odious. I doubt it, but I do think the country would be better served by focusing on the folks who are carrying the lies forward, more so than those who are mostly forgiving the past. As I said, I wouldn't vote for either, but I do think it's worth making the distinction. Note: I don't know a damn thing about Haley, so I'm not making a statement either way. I will state that if someone told me I had to defend her fitness to govern over Trumps, I'd err on her side.

There seemed to be shitloads of people with Spanish surnames amongst the proud boys/insurrectionists. I think at some point we might have to admit that while black are verboten, other brownish people might be tolerable and even useful.

Now you're just making words up.

I think it is about Ferretman.

Whoa. Old man forgets his previous posts. Story at 11.

The American Heritage Picture History of the Civil War has the best battlefield pictures for the major battles. I got hooked on this book when I was in 4th grade. Not sure if still in print.

The Streets of Laredo (1993) I like hors as much as the next feller but I don't really like them talking or being critical parts of the story. I thought this was a great story, but good god, McMurtry takes a long ass time to wrap things up once the main part of the story is over. (This is my first McMutry fiction.) I really didn't like the Maria character. I generally like that McMurtry gives his characters who don't have any natural fighting skills about .0001% chance of survival -- it lends some realism to the thing. Except when it comes to hors. They are pretty much ninjas.

If I were a hacker what a great hack it would be to put a little aggy lifting his leg or doing whatever they do at the corner of the screen where the interpreter normally goes.

Oh. I thought you were going to make a reference to Bone Tomahawk.

Stupidity is her agar.

I wonder what the LR Nine is going to have to say about her using them in her speech.

Ditch pig protecting me from LatinX terminology.

When does huckabee starts?

Well, at least the Dems hate cancer.

Okay, so you draw Sarah Huckabee instead.

Did you have a strong foundation in debate?

At the risk of sounding like an old man yelling at clouds, which I am, you are absolutely right. Don't repeat stupid shit by morons. It's a pretty easy rule to follow.
