  1. Especially in those communities where so many essential workers were housed. They put their lives on the line every day. I feel if it had been approached right, the message could have been delivered in person, with respect, from a distance.
  2. Until they can't refrigerate their insulin, then it becomes an issue. Yes, we have to change the mindset that these groups, be they identified by race, religion, gender, or locality are monoliths. However Covid hurt a lot. The party was hampered by no in person canvassing. The republicans thought Covid was bullshit, and they waded through it, right up to people's doorsteps. The dems couldn't do that and not come off as hypocrites. The lack of face to face on porches or in events is critical. You are right. It is usually the school districts and utility type districts that are non-partisan. But you can usually find where a party has endorsed a candidate or not. I will say I firmly feel that local races for everything from dog catcher to county judge should be non-partisan. Let them win based on their merit and ideas, not the letter behind their name. And make it ranked voting as well.
  3. I noticed a few of the recruits wearing multiple wristbands. Almost like they are wearing them as medals to show everyone who they have had OVs with. It looks like he has more than just one on. Next we will have 9.95ers analyzing the order these kids wear those wristbands.
  4. that's just unattractive. and scary.
  5. Well. it sure can't stand on it's own. Of course if you consider ALL the households in a state, not just the upper tier. We all know who conservative policies benefit. Would be nice to see those stats.
  6. Local news was doing a report on it last night about a couple in bridge city or somewhere signed up for some supersaver app controlling their thermostat.
  7. This guy explains how Trump used Russian tactics on the American people. Called the 'firehose of falsehoods" intended to overwhelm and confuse the average citizen, driving them to be cynical and untrusting of most sources.
  8. Her twitter is a beating. Typical red accusations and no substance. It's predictable and comical, but it's the norm now. The GOP is now a flock of parrots, all bleating the latest message to denigrate anything that might constitute a change for the better and away from a system that favors wealth over justice.
  9. Too many of them are investing in Generac systems for their homes. My Trumpkin brother was whining about spending 8 grand on one and I told him to just donate the money to his local democrats, get them in office and let them just fix the system. I mean what the fuck, are we going to be buying personal maintainers to grade our roads, since TxDot seems to lose more funding every year? Drill our own water wells? Put in outhouses or septic systems? Already you look at these gomers wanting to carry guns because you can't count on the cops. Just fund shit to work properly. Shake my head.
  10. I think he was trying to say Kushner is effeminate without saying it outright. Well now we know what all those many many important phone calls and meetings were about. Between this and selling pardons, Donnie was a busy boy.
  11. That was the golf course.
  12. La Marque isn't in his district. Why isn't he doing this in his district? I guess it's the closest place to Houston that sounds like Mar-a-Lago? Have cover bands been describing themselves as "tribute" bands long? Not very Texan having some guy named Montana playing, is it? This just looks full on lame. I wonder how many TikTok'ers will register for this.
  13. I don't remember who added the bit about the "I know where you got your shoes," but it made me look pretty sharp in front of my boy when I knew the answer tonight on Canal St. End of a great day.
  14. Biff nailed it earlier. The only education we need is that white man always does what is best for the world, that's why god made him white.
  15. We did part of the Trace coming into Jackson. Did it at dusk and it got a little eerie by the time it was full on dark. But it was definitely a serene drive with a ton of wildlife and few signs of civilization. So far we've made the Civil Rights Museum of Mississippi, the Miss. Museum of Forestry and Agriculture and the Smith Robertson Museum in Jackson. Yesterday was the Hank Williams museum, the Legacy Museum and the National Memorial for Peace and Justice. Stopped at Tuskegee, but the museum was closed unfortunately. He promised to support Trump's coup in August. Trump is a waffling lunatic. I can definitely see him doing something like this.
  16. I always make it with equal parts tomatoes to sugar. Lemon slices and a dash of cinnamon. The trick is to cook it to a good set point without burning it.
  17. Tomato Preserves Cantaloupe/Pineapple Preserves Dried venison sausage sliced thin on homemade bread with butter and pickles. Cinnamon toast with mini marshmallows browned on top. My grandmother used to keep root beer concentrate she'd mix with water. That was soda at her house for a long time. French fries on fajita taco with. Thought about this listening to podcast week before last. Bowl of cottage cheese with sliced strawberries or canned peaches. Sometimes just straight with salt and pepper. My dad forbade Spam and spinach in the house. The first from the war, and the second from growing up in the valley during depression. He also taught us the salt on the grapefruit thing, because they had lots of grapefruit and salt was cheaper than sugar. If mother was feeling especially cheery, we got this pear thing with a half (never a whole) maraschino cherry on top. And sometimes it was peaches instead of pears.
  18. Thanks for this. My son and I are about to make a two week run to ATL and back, hitting Jackson, Montgomery, Selma and New Orleans along the way. Bit multi theme with civil rights and music being the bigger items. Any suggestions like this will be appreciated.
  19. And your response is classic DT. TJ Hooker was the guy whose wife flashed her rack at his new doorbell cam, right?
  20. You sons of bitches are really bored, huh?
  21. All I can testify to is that I am more involved politically than I ever thought I would be a decade ago. I was of the school that both sides were equally crooked and self serving and my vote didn't matter. I think it was the Bernie campaign against Hillary, followed by Beto that changed my mind. All the sudden it seemed like my vote might actually count. Trump and Co came along and clearly illuminated the chasm between grifters and run of the mill pols. They killed off the both sides are equally bad for us argument and shone the light on the more despicable pols who only play the obstruction game to maintain a system weighted for them and the monied ppl they serve. If it stirred me to get involved, it definitely has and continues to stir others. Many others. And like Satchel and UpperWestside, I know there's going to be a strong movement to get people ready for and to the polls for the next couple of elections. All this voter suppression and scorched earth crap they are running is going to bite them in the ass and bring out a lot of votes against them in the future. The question is if they have instilled enough hatred in enough of their base to revolt when the popular vote doesn't count out the way they want? Will that base be strong enough to support their "fuck the common ppl vote, we'll put in who we want" program that Brisket identified?
  22. I would guess some of them are bringing some dual credit hours with them from high school as well.
  23. - the John Roberts Book of Judicial Logic Had to repost because this is so spot on. They know history is written by the victors. Decades ago history was stored in textbooks which took years to publish. With the internet they realize they need to be parsing and editing at a quicker pace, like in real time, but it's nearly impossible in this climate of sound bites. So instead of editing textbooks, they just banned the teaching altogether. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mortgage_discrimination While not a specific law, it was and is still is a policy. Same pretty much for any lending situation for all minority races.
  24. Watch Inequality for All. So systemic Hitler education is ok, but systemic racism education isn't? Bet she's got one or three of these aids handy.
  25. If black athletes declared they wouldn't play another game until this bullshit was corrected, it wouldn't take long to set it right. These fuckers in red state capitols all over the country are going full scorched earth on their voter suppression, abortion, education agendas. They either know they can't be stopped, or they know it's their last hurrah. I'm just surprised none of them have tried to roll back abolition.
