  1. Red Hat friend of mine has a new grand baby. He mentioned that he was going with his daughter to get the baby some shots. I asked him what he thought about the chairman of Trump campaign being on tv last night talking about revoking vaccine approval and putting the guy with a worm in his brain in charge of it. His response was “why do you make everything political?”
  2. No shit. Those mother fuckers have been saying “fuck Joe Biden” for years and he basically says “hey, fuck you too”, and they fall apart. He’s right, they are garbage. Maybe if society had been tougher on those knuckle dragging pieces of shit ten years ago for being so deplorable they might have been shamed in to taking a hard look at themselves. No shit.

  3. I had no idea until recently that a cottage industry exists in blue states which assist red hats in moving to Texas. Freedom, amirite?
  4. I don’t know whether to point and laugh or shake my head in disgust.
  5. Live at Carnegie Hall is a masterpiece.
  6. People want to move to Austin because it’s great. But, I’ve noticed that the first thing they want to do after they get here is to change it.
  7. Actually, what I got from it was that the strategy was to bring her negatives up or in other words bring her down to his level. Same theory adopted by Cruz. We will see but the fact that their information seemed to support the idea that the issue causes people to view Harris more unfavorable is pretty on brand with what we have become as a country.

  9. I’ve been saying the opposite. There is no way that any other citizen other than Trump would have been allowed to obfuscate, lie, file frivolous pleadings and just generally frustrate the system. I have tried cases in several different states. Been in and out of all kinds of state and federal courthouses. I was aggressive, no doubt. Pushed things as far as I thought I could get away with. But, I can say without doubt, that I would have suffered significant consequences if I had even approached the level of behavior exhibited from Trump and his lawyers. I have been “hometowned”. The crap that went on with the documents case and the Supreme Court is a lot more than getting the benefit of the doubt on close judgment calls.
  10. Garland is a factor in where we are right now. Had Biden gone with Doug Jones or recycled Holder I do think we might have had a better chance.
  11. I want to get off but agree about breaking news. Pretty much all I’m looking at are newspapers, reporters, Longhorn stuff and Keith Richards. I do have a strategy which is that every time I see an add I block it. Then I block every person that enters my consciousness that I just don’t want to invade my feed. That includes Musk. I read somewhere that Musk was complaining about how it costs them money maintaining the blocked list on all accounts. That’s what made me decide to get really generous with blocking. It take a lot of effort to have a sane experience. I’d love to move somewhere else if they had the coverage. In fact, I messaged DelConte about cross posting on Bluesky and he blew me off.
  12. All I know is that he is running out of chances to do something this year. This year, he is hurting us more than helping in the last two games. If he can’t muster up a pretty good performance this week would you at least agree that the tend is not good?
  13. Hopefully it won’t be something that only exists on bootleg thumb drives with us watching in dark rooms with someone outside looking out for the guys in the red ties.
  14. I’m old. I’ve gotten where I avoid things that make me dumber (this board excepted) and try to listen to people who are smarter than me. As I said, I’m old. I’d rather watch classic boxing matches from the 70’s than UFC. I think social media has rotted our brains. My impression is that Joe Rogan (who I can’t think of as much greater than his role on that show where people ate maggots), is not someone who would make me smarter by listening to him. Maybe unfairly, I don’t expect that most of his audience is smarter than him. But, maybe I’m just old.
  15. It won’t matter. No one is going to want to express their opinions after Election Day.
  16. There has been a serious change in the algorithm the past week. Seeing a lot more crap in my feed. I made a wise crack in response to some Trump trash that showed up and was immediately greeted with this.
  17. 14 min without a comment… Respect, my man.
  18. Allred should run this except AI in Cruz. https://x.com/NickKnudsenUS/status/1849509738461135267
  19. You made a conscious decision to use “uneducated” over “black” didn’t you?
  20. Had he prepared all week, I still would have rather seen Arch get the experience over seeing our greatly overpaid and overrated QB shit his pants in a showcase game which proved to be a huge wasted opportunity. QE can’t connect on a deep ball to save his life. At least Arch has a chance to. Three weeks ago, I would have said that QE gave us the best chance to win. But, after his poor play in the last two games, I’m just ready to move on. Maybe he turns it around. He’s running out of chances.
  21. Dude I know you have had a nice time throwing your grenades on this thread. I personally think your act is some kind of performance art that is leaving you cracking yourself up as you roll on the floor. However, the thing underlying all the ridicule you are getting on this board is that the things you are saying are so dumb, uninformed and just defy common sense that I refuse to believe that anyone could actually internally use as a rationale for voting for Trump. But, if you are for real, then I think you are the poster child for why we need to develop critical thinking curriculum for all of the nations schools.
  22. And also a sign of dementia which crippled his father and is genetic.
  23. I work in a very commodity reliant field. I know this to be a fact. Covid caused shortages. Prices went up because of scarcity of goods. Retailers had to pay more which the end result was inflation of price. Now cost of commodities have gone down. However, retailers have not reduced consumer prices at all, or at best, not in proportion to the drop in commodity prices. I can attest that it is not lost on retailers, for example restaurants, that the consumer needs to get used to the idea of the $25 per person lunch. For the most part, we have. Corp profits generally reflect this. Her answer should be some variation of this along with the successful admin efforts that did bring inflation in many areas down.
  24. I can’t remember the name of the movie but Long Dong Silver was in it and I was @ 10. My feelings of inadequacy lasted a lifetime. I pretty much learned how to properly use curse words after sneaking into Every Which Way But Loose.
  25. It works.
