My frugal german grandmother always had a bottle of root beer concentrate. She'd mix with water and pour over ice. It wasn't very good, but on a hot summer day it wasn't turned down either. She never had sodas of any type in the house, that was as close as she'd get. It was considered a treat. What was the name of that Happy Days type diner chain in San Antonio in the 90s that had their own RB? Rudy's Root Beer? That stuff rivaled A&W with the cold frosty mug.

Google 'Democrats receive death threats' Google 'Republican violence against Democrats' Google 'Jan 6, 2021 US Capitol' Then fuck off with this concept the "cabal" is this unhinged group of echo chamber liberals.

Although fisticuffs would give satisfaction, I don't much imagine it would change much in the long haul for most of these people. Since this thread started, I have been trying to think of someway to expose these people and possibly educate them to their sliminess. Maybe this challenge thing isn't the best answer, but I think these fuckers need to walk some serious miles in the shoes of those they represent. Therefore I would probably challenge them as my fight. Something along the lines of 'Trading Places.' I'd start with Cornyn. Devise a series of a half dozen scenarios faced by his constituents at the lower level socio-economically. Maybe it's facing eviction because you're now a Covid long hauler and can't work. Or an asylum seeker who faces deportation. An elderly person who can't get decent healthcare, despite working and paying into SSA and medicaid their whole lives. An abused spouse who gets the shit beat out of them, but their spouse walks free after 6 months of "anger counseling" Likewise I'd be challenged to do the things his job demands, basically acting as Senator, making policy decisions and generally representing people. Let a jury/panel of 100 Texans drawn randomly be the judges scoring the match.

To be so close to the truth and yet soooo far from it at the same time is staggering. I was thinking he's going to make a library for his vast collection of books. She's good. But right off I was like "how the hell does lazy eye dude have a wife like that?" By the time she got to barely legal mermaids, I was on to her.

Ware called a LHN game last year. I remember asking the same question.

I like Overshown and Kerstetter, but interview them during those interminably long pre and post game shows, not during the game. Tell us who is on the field and what they are doing or did. We don't need some 20 minute diatribe on Coach Sark in the middle of the game. And they hardly ever said anything about the defense other than the DL when they got a sack. Dumbasses trying so hard to impress with their boundless knowledge, I suppose. Those announcers for the V-ball tourney, they know their shit. They know the players and the game. Very little color and loads of tech talk. That's what LHN needs, not this moronic Kurt Bohls type prattle. And that includes Acho. Did you guys mute that shit in Discord and just do general discussion? My Discord went all haywire today...so didn't get in. I have no idea who Galindo has pics of, but they must be doozies.

Exterminate All the Brutes on HBO does a pretty good job of exposing the Belgian exploitation of the Congo. Highly recommend this doc, but I am having to take it in small doses.

I started watching New Tricks a few nights ago. I stopped to watch an episode of Endeavor. While it is good, I went back to New Tricks. Same sort of Brit copper show, but a different formula. Basically, a trio of retired detectives come back as consultants to man a squad assigned to close out cold cases. It's got some tongue in cheek humor mixed in with the cases. I'll finish Endeavor next.

It really is a deal but maybe not so big. He accepted a fact, something in black and white as fact. Not many of them do. But that's not the bigger point. That is admitting to repeatedly accepting and parroting falsehoods from these same spreaders of untruths or half-truths, and then doing a mea culpa for falling for that tripe. There's distance between apologizing for an incident, showing remorse for the incident, and correcting behavior to prevent repeating the incident. I'm waiting for the TA groups to start forming. Trumpist Anonymous. It's just as addictive as some other mainline substances.

If you get Netflix, look for Foyle's War. A lot like Endeavor.

Depp had a good role in Benny & Joon. I watched it because I really like Mary Stuart Masterson. He played a passable troubled youth in it. I also agree he seems to find the more fantastical roles to his liking. Somehow they might light his fire more than others. Any one that can carry all those roles is alright by me. Wayne was always lucky to have some pretty great co stars to help him out, like Martin and O'Hara. Roscoe Lee Brown as Jebediah Nightlinger. I fully agree. To me when the actor like Oldman and Depp can make you forget who they are and see them only as the character, then they have some serious talent. As much as I love Robert Duvall, I also see him so much more than I see his character. Maybe it's because I am more interested in his spin on the character, than the character itself. A lot the same for Eastwood and Wayne. To me Chris Elliott has always made me cringe when I had to sit through a scene he was in. Even in Schitt's Creek, which was all about over the top, just seemed he was too far over the top.

Take copious notes. It's a great show.

Hunt for the Wilderpeople. Sam Neill is excellent as always. Amazon.

I said in the second paragraph I would question that source and be leery to use them again. I do not believe any source is 100% correct. But you answered my question about how you would react. You went to the bothsiderism play. 'Most news sources (I assume mainstream media) lie. So me believing my own source, even when I know they are lying is perfectly fine.' There was no inquisition there. I was truly interested in your mindset and logic when you were confronted with such a source. You answered. This is why this thread is here. To have an open discussion. My questions weren't vindictive. They were sincere. But anyway.

Do you now question the veracity of things you hear on that program? Would you still feel confident in using their information as fact? Have you reached out and asked that program why they are broadcasting misleading information? I'm pretty sure that's where DaHobbs and others are coming from. If I quoted a source with a "fact" like you did and then was later embarrassed to find out that source was bogus, I'm pretty sure I'd be sore at that source, and not trust them as readily moving forward. Apologizing is a good first start, but I think we are all interested in how it affects your thought process when your sources are shown to be not quite factual. And that is a big problem, because now a whole lot of people tend to use "fake news" as an escape clause. They don't recognize truth and fact anymore. How do you discuss with people with whom you have no central touchstone of truth?

Yeah your boy is a total piece of shit. No doubt. And his little goon squad following him like trained monkeys.

Also on this shit: Yesterday, the Texas House passed HB 530 to allow election judges to carry handguns into a polling place, with an 88-55 vote. It is expected to receive a final vote today and be sent over to the Senate. So let's make the polling place as intimidating as possible. Who is carrying, and who isn't? Ridiculous.

I agree. But if we don't speak at all, then they get the idea that no one really cares. I fully get your point. These fucks are going to do what they want. But if the TDP can say later that their tool was used by 6000 voters in a particular district, then at least that rep can't say it was unopposed and everyone loved the bills. I have some of that defeatist attitude as well. But at the same time, if I can spend 5 minutes tilting at windmills in here, I can spare 5 to make that call.

He can't go public sector. NO ONE likes him, except the fools around us who keep falling for his schtick. There's no lobbying or think tank waiting for him, because NO ONE likes him. Not even his family or dog. Beer should be a corona. Or does our other dumbass senator have the rights on that one?

99% he was crowdsourced once Just once? I...resemble this remark. I'm thinking landman. This right here. When it comes to actual discussion with logic and facts, pretty much all hat and no cattle. This thread is dying, even without crowdsourcing him.

If you want to call your rep and voice your opinion about SB7 or HR6, here's a little helpful tool. Once you fill out the data, it finds you rep and connects with you, giving you some advice on how to voice your opposition. Then it connects you to your rep's staff. Takes all of 3-5 minutes. TDP tool to aid in contacting your state rep.

So let me get this straight. Because some of us (including myself) are hypercritical of Q, then we're as ungrounded as they are? We balance them out somehow? Because we find and lash out at the lunacy pushed and believed by the Q people as surreal and dangerous, then somehow we are as disconnected from reality as they are? That's juicy. That's like saying we are fringe lunatics for pointing out all the fake championships claimed by aggy.

New entry: Virginia Woman Harasses US Army Soldiers At IHOP, Wants To Fight Intervening Veteran: “Motherf*cker… I’ll Drop You” After spending 12 hours a day on the internet for the past 5 years, blogging for you fine people, you’d think that nothing would surprise me. And for the most part, you’d be right. But every so often, we find something (or someone) so asinine that I can’t help but wonder what in hell is going on in this world? Karen was all the rage last year, littering the internet with her ignorant shenanigans, but it’s been a bit quiet on the Karen-front lately. Lo and behold, just when it seems like she’s finally piped down, this story starts picking up steam on TikTok. According to Joe Jeffers Jr. (the poster of the vid) we have this Karen wreaking havoc in a Virginia IHOP. We don’t really see what happened in the beginning, but the video picks up with Karen saying she paid more on their tip. And if you think she’s picking up the bill for a group of active-duty servicemen… think again. https://www.whiskeyriff.com/2021/04/20/virginia-woman-harasses-us-army-soldiers-at-ihop-wants-to-fight-intervening-veteran-motherfcker-ill-drop-you/ (I give up, the tiktoks won't imbed, and it takes a while for them to load in the article, but it's another amazing example of cognitive dissonance.
