MAGA is a mass coma.... complete mass brain death. Just the way their Christian fascist leaders and billionaire exploiters like it.

2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.
BevoAbyss replied to bolverk's topic in Cloak Room
How? Here are some key reasons: Cowardly legacy media and cowardly billionaires who refuse to stand up to Trump and MAGA. And/or billionaires who agree with Trump/MAGA. That's how! -

Too little, too late. Won't be too hard to find "editors" who will kneel before the MAGA Fuhrer for a huge paycheck and proximity to fascist power in action and all the "news" that will generate. Pre-WW2 Nazi Germany is the historical model Team MAGA and Team Billionaire are following. -

Ha! Houston Chronicle endorses Kamala and shows way more courage than WaPo and LA Times and all the TV media. I am not from Houston, but I am from Texas ... and I am damn proud to see that paper stand up to Christian fascism... at least on the editorial page. -

Glad to hear some of y'all are canceling. I let my NYTimes subscription expire sometime in the late 1990s-early 2000s. Never bothered with WaPo except browsing through the copies at Borders Books. Felt like a clone of the NYTimes. Got so tired of NYTimes "both sides" coverage of the rising Christian fascism and general "right wing" political idiocy... such as Patrick Buchanan and Ross Perot, both of whom who prefigure Trump. -

100,000% Spot on. The powerful legacy media (NYT, WaPo, CNN, LATimes and all the others) have absolutely enabled MAGA and Trump since Day Fucking One! From the beginning, it was obvious Christian fascism in 2016. But the media were wedded to supposedly being fair to "both sides" ... and now they kneel and cower before one side. Spineless cowards to the very end. Very much like the mass media in Weimar Germany. -

Roma, you're bringing back some great memories! After finishing my Friday afternoon office hour as a TA in late 80s, I damn near always grabbed an Austin Chronicle. -- Read it while at Texadelphia for cheesesteak/chips/salsa/iced tea and downing a couple of carafes of coffee at Les Amis. -- Loved the "News of the Weird" section. Hard to believe those people and their descendants became fascists and might well run the country. -- If I did not meet some artsy-fartsy brainy lefty chick at Les Amis and go drink/dance for rest of evening, I would head to the PCL to take advantage of near empty library on Friday nights. Got a lot of grad research done on Friday nights. As a bonus for me, the single dude, it was quite surprising how many good-looking brainy cool single women were at the PCL on Friday nights. -- After PCL, I (and the cool women I would sometimes meet) headed to a bar for some late night tequila. Good times! -

I'll tell ya who the bigger "waistoids" are: All those frat boy fascists who've been rolling through McCombs for decades ... without having to think deeply and critically about pretty much anything serious ... that counters their naive Team Corporate Conservative Christian America worldview. -
Unless this election is some kind of massive blowout win for Kamala, there will be trouble. And even a blowout might not be enough. Of course, we know Trump is going to contest a loss. Any loss. Maybe it is because I am not religious, not patriotic, not worshipper of the military, that I see a huge problem coming. For Trump to attain power and impose their worldview, many in MAGA-GQP will help or enable the killing of Americans. How do we know? They have already done it. 1. By not wearing masks, not vaxxing, and not caring when they helped kill a million Americans during a fucking deadly global pandemic. -- Let's be clear: COVID empowered Americans to enact random violence against fellow citizens. ("Ultraviolence" in Clockwork Orange). Hospitals stacked to the rim with dead bodies. Sure, they killed a lot their own. But COVID is the lesson: They do not care if Americans die for their worldview. In fact, COVID proved that's the case. 2. The mass shooting of American school kids does not concern them enough to restrict gun access. Their guns and worldview are more important than school kids living. Or the brown people at an El Paso Walmart. 3. They are enacting medical violence against women by restricting reproductive health care. Some have already died or will die. MAGA-GQP do not care. 4. How would 14 million people be deported without violence? MAGA-GQP are primed for violence. Repeat: They do not care who dies for their worldview, steeped in violent Christian fascism. History is clear on that. So we are supposed to think they will mind if Americans have to die to get Trump in office and their worldview back in total power? Would we be surprised if many cops and some military will support them? We know Fox, Wall Street Journal, NY Post and other lackey media will back Trump. Bottom line, many in MAGA-GQP are willing for Americans to die for their worldview and world. And Trump is the Fuhrer of their world. What that political violence looks like, I am not sure. But it's likely coming to get their Fuhrer in power. Hope I'm wrong.

Last week dropped my ballot in the mailbox of my "liberal" big city metropolis. Voted straight D. Came of political age in the 80s and never voted for Ronnie Raygun, HW, W, or the MAGA Fuhrer. For the remainder of my life, I cannot fathom voting R on anything. Ever. -

Damn ... It's not "fucking weird." It's fucking Christian fascist! Here's what's weird: That so many can't put two words together -- Christian fascist -- when that exactly describes MAGA, GQP, and their Fuhrer, Donald Trump. -
Call Your Shot - Final Reg Season Record
BevoAbyss replied to Wilcox Cummingtonite's topic in Football
I said: 1-3 is likely (not certain). Which means it could be 1, 2, or 3 losses. If QE is bad and it could cost a game or three. Sark's game plan could cost a game. Arky and Aggy will be dogfights, losses are possible. Learn to comprehend what you read. -
Call Your Shot - Final Reg Season Record
BevoAbyss replied to Wilcox Cummingtonite's topic in Football
Hard part? UT played one tough team (Georgia) and got their ass kicked all over DKR. Laughable performance. Arky and Aggy will be total dogfights. TOTAL. Especially on the road. Other ther SEC teams will be fired up like hell. Why? Because we're fucking TEXAS and everyone gets fired up to beat Texas. -- QE starts slow and that could cost a game or three. Sark has not proven he can get through a season without blowing leads (many times), getting blown out or schooled at DKR, or just lame inflexible game plans that fail (Washington playoff and Georgia, most recently). It's amazing that the Burnt Orange Glasses crowd are blind to these facts. 1-3 more regular season losses are likely...especially if QE is the QB. -
Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet
BevoAbyss replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
This is correct. Bradley was All-Pro a couple of years with Eagles, I think. My points being: 1. DKR rolled the dice with the wishbone and Street. Paid off huge. 2 national titles. 2. Sark needs a QB who can run his offense, as did DKR. 3. Sark needs to roll with Arch and shoot for the title next year, if not this year. -
Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet
BevoAbyss replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
This right here. I'll say what should be obvious. UT was so bad during late-Mack-Strong-Herman era, we got a Big 12 title and anointed Sark as some kind of QB whispering, play-calling, play-designing guru. Sark ain't all that. True, he beat Bama in Tuscaloosa and deserves the credit for a massive win. Beat bad Michigan team, which is still great. He's wiped out two historically bad OU teams (so bad they might be worse than Blake era). Great satisfying wins after the Mack beatdowns, but it's not like he was beating up on Stoops or Riley. Somehow got UT to #1, mostly on the Michigan beatdown. Still incredible. Then got exposed by Georgia. Sark coached against Deboer twice and never even led in the games. AND: In the 2 biggest night games since Mack era, Sark was schooled by Kirby Sharp and Sonny fucking Dykes. Sonny Dykes!!!! -- Offense put up 7 points v. Bulldogs and 3 points v. Frogs. The other TDs were defense. -- DKR was ready to rock and explode with noise, and Sark put up 10 fucking points total offense ... in the biggest night games in over a decade. National TV laughing stock. -- Ewers was terrible in both games. Sark is a "good" coach, but he ain't no guru or genius. He might get much better, but right now he ain't no big game, title-winning coach. Not with QE. He needs to roll with Arch now. UT history: Royal gave up on highly-touted "Super Bill" Bradley to run the Wishbone, turned to James Street (and later Eddie Phillips) and then won 30 games in row and 2 national titles. -
Official Coach Sark Thread of Dominance—haters back off
BevoAbyss replied to SimkinsMan's topic in Football
So far, after 3.5 seasons can we dispense with two notions? 1. Sark is some kind of all-time play-designing, play-calling genius. He's not. At least not more than 50% chance in BIG games. -- No doubt, Sark delivered v. Bama in 2023 and deserves the credit. -- But, as of now, his 5-6 record is below 50% in big games, and that includes 3 BIG wins on over bad OU and Michigan teams. Otherwise, he is 2-6 in BIG games v. good teams. -- In the 2023 playoff, had 4 shots v Washington inside 20 in final seconds, did not come close to scoring. In two bowl games v Washington, Sark has never even had the lead. -- He is likely to get outclassed ... as out-coach and our-scheme the other coach. Kirby Smart and Sonny fucking Dykes schooled him on national TV. Kalen Deboer beat him twice and never trailed. -- Put up a laughable 18 points combined in the two biggest DKR night games (TCU, Georgia) since Mack era. And one TD came on 9-yard drive! -- And if QE can't deliver on his genius play designs, then it is Sark's responsibility to give Arch a shot. 2. QE is some kind of nut-dragging "big game" QB. He's not. -- He delivered v. Bama in 2023. No doubt deserves credit for huge win. -- He won big over 1 bad Michigan team with no Harbaugh, 2 wins over terrible OU teams (as bad as the Blake era) -- Terrible v. TCU in 2022, Georgia last night. -- Could not come close to scoring v Washington with 4 shots from inside red zone. -- Way too inconsistent, so far, to win enough BIG games to win a title. Bottom line: If Sark and QE are "on," then UT has great chance to win BIG games. If not, then little chance. Right now, that's a less than 50% proposition. Can Sark + QE win enough BIG games to win the title? Will Arch help do it? Time will tell.... -
Official Coach Sark Thread of Dominance—haters back off
BevoAbyss replied to SimkinsMan's topic in Football
As an addendum to my post above, here is a point of comparison on BIG Games with 3 best UT coaches so far. Note: These do not include all ranked teams played against. Just what were the BIG games: bowls, rivals, big name teams, titles on the line. DKR OU: 12-7-1 A&M: 17-3 Arky: 15-5 -- a combined 44-15-1 against these three rivals! USC: 0-2 UCLA: 2-0 Bama: 2-0-1 Bowls: 8-7-1 Title Games: 2-1 (lost to Irish in 1971 Cotton Bowl, but already had UPI title at end of season) 3 National Titles TOTAL: 58-25-3 MACK OU: 7-9 A&M: 10-4 Arky: 0-1 Huskers: 8-1 Tech/Leach (when ranked): 3-1 Bowls: 10-5 Big 12 Title: 2-2 1 National Title TOTAL: 40-23 AKERS OU 5-4-1 A&M: 5-5 Arky: 7-2 Penn State: 1-0 Auburn: 2-0 Bowls: 2-7 TOTAL: 22-15-1 SARK OU: 2-2 Bowls: 0-2 (including playoff) Big 12 Title 1-0 Bama 1-1 Michigan 1-0 Georgia 0-1 TCU (ranked #4 unbeaten): 0-1 TOTAL 5-7 HERMAN add-on for the lulz! OU: 1-4 Big 12 title: 0-1 USC 1-1 Bowls: 4-0 TOTAL: 5-6 -
Official Coach Sark Thread of Dominance—haters back off
BevoAbyss replied to SimkinsMan's topic in Football
Sark's record, so far, in BIG games at Texas: OU: 2-2 -- No doubt, those 2 beatdown blowouts were awesome; even over very subpar OU teams. (South Carolina even smashed OU in Norman.) -- Could be 4-0 but choked away 2 games. Bowl Games: 0-2 -- Lost twice to Washington, Including playoff loss in a totally winnable game. Big 12 title game: 1-0 -- Great win against Gundy Bama: 1-1 -- Sark's best win at UT was in Tuscaloosa 2023 -- Let late lead slip away in 2022 at DKR. Michigan: 1-0 -- Great win over, what is clearly a very subpar Wolverine team (already with 3 losses). Georgia: 0-1 -- Totally out-classed at DKR on national TV with Game Day there (One TD drive of 55 yards, one 9 yards) TCU 2022: 0-1 -- TCU was unbeaten, ranked #4, night game, national TV, DKR ready to rock, and offense put up 3 points. -- Just like last night, terrible offensive performance. In the two biggest night games at DKR since Mack era, Sark has been completely out-coached by Kirby Smart and Sonny fucking Dykes. Putting up a total of 18 points. Total in Big Games: 5-7 Time will tell if Sark can win all the big games in a single season. Or at at least lose only one and win out in the playoffs. -
Below is the sacred text for early wannabe Sov Cits. 20 years ago, a friend in Austin was raving about this book. So I read it. Basically it is this: The internet and info tech and transportation industries (airlines, roads) span borders and nations and economies, creating possibility for true global individualists, liberated from laws and outmoded rules of nation-states. And you know what? If most people were not so damn tribalist, patriotic, domineering, exploitative, religious, racist, misogynist, territorial, and warrior simians (etc etc etc) .... it could present a viable partial element of a planetary society. But getting in the way are all those Gods and flags and borders and bibles and guns and non-evolved simians. But, the current Sovereign Citizens are mostly religious fanatics ready to be ruled by the Bible, not the laws of sinful humans--especially seculars and liberals.

It is not all kinds of men. It is 100% religious men, Bible-thumping Christian men. At least in America. These are the misogynist men threatened by strong, smart, successful, educated women with equal rights and equal standing in society -- and in the household! Their goal is a return to medieval times, the very legal era cited by Alito in overturning Roe to terrorize and demonize women using their inherent reproductive rights. And don't cherry pick some lame ass passage from the Bible to say they are not real Christians or not real religious men. They are. History is 100% clear on that. It is the same as in all societies controlled by male religious fanatics -- insecure pricks using prescientific myths to dominate women. The goal is to colonize women, control their bodies, and conquer their consciousness into submission. Same as it ever was. And MAGA-GQP is fully on-board.

FINAL 2024 CFB polls/rankings - Texas #3/ #4 /#3 (CFP/AP/Coaches)
BevoAbyss replied to TKthunder2's topic in Football
If the height of the lines is the criteria for seasons of Longhorn greatness .... then DKR's three national championships did not rise to the visual greatness of the Akers regime, which had zero titles. Same with Mack's 2005 team, one of the greatest teams of all time as was DKR's 1969 team. Suggests to me that chart is visual BS.... or at least deeply flawed. -
100,000,000% spot on. This also a massive indictment of our university education system, since the TV news media all have college degrees -- yet most can't think clearly or deeply and apparently know next to nothing of history. And they naively assume their celebrity status will protect them in a fascist-Christian takeover.

BevoAbyss replied to bolverk's topic in Cloak Room
The Bible thumping theocrats/fascists are the single greatest force crashing American democracy. There is nothing even a close second. The point of no return was the marriage of Reagan, Falwell, and the GQP. Fundagelicals/GQP have attacked and eroded secular society ever since. Social media idiocy, rulings like Citizens United, cowardly journalism, and insane conspiracy theory (celebrated on TV and in movies) only hastened the demise into sheer lunacy, sure to be backed by violence and guns and lots of bibles shoved down everyone's throats. -

Game Week Thread Game week thread, Week 6, Red River Shootout
BevoAbyss replied to Wulaw Horn's topic in Football
Sooners basically quit in 1970 and 1998. 1970: Eddie Phillips/Steve Worster/Jim Bertelsen had the wishbone rolling 41-9. Peak DKR over OU. Utter domination. Sooners were never in it. -- Fun fact. OU debuted the wishbone in this game and it failed miserably. According to my dad (RIP), either the Dallas Times Herald or Morning News ran this headline for the story: "Sooners try wishbone, Longhorns show'em how to run it." 1998: Ricky was running wild and the Blake era bottomed out. That game was over by mid 3rd quarter.
