I had Sammy's downtown Dallas late last week for the first time in probably 10 years. Wow. It's so bad. Maybe I should have posted in the "how is this place still in business" thread. And that I would guess is a primo real estate location.- Hip-hop / Rap that you're listening to
I know almost next to nothing about Joey except that somehow, out of 7 fully grown men and some living legends, as a baby rapper he had the best verse on 1 train. That got my attention but then it obviously faded. I'm an old man with little free time.- 2025 Christmas
Folks is broke in 2025. Telling my people, give me a list of 1 or 2 items you want max. I'm capping a dollar limit per person. Middle class be middle classin' outchea.- ChatGPT AI Tool— We all work for robots now
Ouroboros? More like AI-and-CryptoBoroBROS- Texas Statewide Ballot Propositions, 2025
Counterpoint: Voting positive on vaguely worded things got us more-or-less legalized marijuana (via hemp) over the counter.- Hip-hop / Rap that you're listening to
That's fascinating. Thanks for sharing.- 2025 ALCS Mariners vs Blue Jays Fox/FS1
Big "Nothing Easy, Game 7!!!111" vibes. The Hawks ended up losing that one too.- Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?
While I agree with you generally, you kinda skipped the Jimbo/Jameis Winston years and a national championship win in there.- Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
Some of you are going to be sorely disappointed one day when we are in the same room at the same time. Heck, throw in GRUhon and there wil be 3 of us!- Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
Not with these premiums I'm having to pay now!- Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
Politically, It's like the parable of Solomon's baby. We aren't willing to kill the baby but the R's are willing to kill a baby.- Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
Thanks for this. It's like the old "the winning move is to not play at all", which I guess makes sense. I know it doesn't feel like it right now but you have to think AT SOME POINT in a shut down there will be pain from not having a government installed and working. And when that comes, it's 100% on the R's. That's the plan. I like it, if it works out that way.- Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal

Okay Bolverk, then let's scrap that political gambit. In your mind, genuinely curious, let's pretend you are the leader here-- how do you get us out of this shutdown? What has to happen in you opinion? Or maybe you don't have one and that's okay too as there doesn't seem, as of today, to be any good (and realistic, politically speaking) options (which was the impetus of my OP today).- Texas Statewide Ballot Propositions, 2025
Agree with you on all except 11 and 13 which are a yes.- Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
Okay I'll bite. Who is this Donkey Cigar character and why do you think we are related?- Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal

That's right and I'm being told that universal healthcare is essentially too sacred of a cow in politics and can't be used to counterpunch the R's with because, and this is true, some of the D voters will be hurt in the fall out (the vast majority would be their own base, again). So we are waiting on a utopian ideal solution it seems to get the government back up and running. What does that look like now that we've essentially boiled the shut down to an ACA issue?- Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
I'm not cool with it AT ALL, but last I checked, the government doesn't give a crap with what I'm cool with or not. As someone said, I'm just a guy on Surly Horns which is an internet messageboard. But that doesn't change the fact that it was reported in the news today as something Trump is going to do (or at least thinking about doing): https://www.politico.com/news/2025/10/19/trump-struggles-to-crack-his-tariffs-piggy-bank-00612284- Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
Exactly my point. And when they fail. Because they will fail. The blame is squarely on Rs.- Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
Ignoring the barb about who or what a Donkey Ciagr is, you are agreeing in premise with me that R voters need to feel the pain of their choices. What does that look like in your mind as it pertains to the government shutdown and how to get out of this jackpot? (Also I read Trump is going to take billions from tariff slush funds and pay the military, so pretend that an upset military is off the table)? What levers can be pulled? I'll hang up and listen since I'm a bit unpopular right now.- Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
What does the data say? What do the numbers say? I feel like the last page here is the problem. We complain we don't have the stomach for the fight with the MAGATs and then show that we actually don't have the stomach to fight the MAGATs in what politics in 2025 demand. So what's the answer? Just let the government shutdown continue until what? Planes wreck during busy holiday travel season?- Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
Whatever happened to the "You voted for this, so GOOD!" leopard eating faces energy? Was that just our Brat Summer? Time to get all sentimental with the leaves changing colors?- Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
To channel my inner Brisket here, but uh, the R's have made it this way and the only way to fight back is with pain. I didn't realize the ledge philosophy was still in the margins and not mainstream here. We are in a dog fight. - Texas BBQ
