I used "you" there where "one" would have been better. I didn't mean you specifically. Tone. 

I think there are lots of legitimate conservative talking points to be made. As a party, the GOP is making none of those points, and almost universally the people who come in to the CR and find themselves being clowned are coming in with clown points rather than conservative points. I felt like you were very close to making that connection in your post and that is why I felt compelled to go ahead and draw the line from A to B. Apologies for tone.

I believe it would be enormously good if we lived in a world where people could make substantive arguments with one another about GOP positions vs dem/leftist/librul/etc positions. As a result of the positions that the GOP has decided to take, that is not the world we live in and it is not possible to do that. I think generally most CR posters agree with that.

There’s a big difference between supporting a view that is shared by Lauren Boebert and supporting that stupid whore. That distinction short circuits the CR mainstays. The GOP has such bad messengers that all messages are being shot down.  

It is amazing that the Dems cannot capitalize on this dearth of quality GOP leadership, and we may have this assclown back in the Oval Office, because Biden, while not a tyrannical insurrectionist assclown, is a totally incompetent assclown. I’m not equating the two like many do. One is clearly worse. If Dems were smart they’d replace Biden, because he will lose.

But what view does Lauren Boebert share that is worthy of serious discussion?  Or anyone currently on the right?

 

[YGIFS 19,449]

Yeah, most of his post made some modicum of sense.  But when you open with "supporting a view that is shared by Lauren Boebert", you kinda lose what shred of political dignity you may have left.  I mean, I get that some of us have to cozy up to some Republicans now and again for the sake of work in the energy space, but Lauren Boebert?  I mean, I'd rather get a handjob from a Wayne Christian.  At least I know he's worked a pumpjack or two.  

Wait, what were we talking about?

Boebert is a clown because of her views, not because she gives handjobs at Beetlejuice.  That’s the short circuit - it seems like you think if you take off the clown makeup, the seltzer and little car full of people and pies and shit is all respectable non-clown stuff. It is not.

So called "conservatives" in the US Congress are about to let the government shut down because their too busy conducting impeachment hearings with zero evidence. I just love the "Trump Derangement Syndrome" characterization. A former president with 91 indictments, a judicial finding of fraud, and who lies incessantly about things that are easily disproven. Conservatives just today submitted altered evidence at a hearing and had to be called out on it, and no "conservatives" are out there calling any of this out or forcing their own party to act sane for at least a fucking second to keep the government running. Sounds a lot more like "Biden Derangement Syndrome" to me and anyone using their actual brain.

[YGIFS 19,449]

My cousin couldn't believe that I spent 90 minutes last night watching the Republican Debate.  Even though she regularly spends tens and tens of hours to attend Trump rallies.  I watch the debates for the same reason I read the Atlantic, National Review, Mother Jones, Bill Kristol, George Will, the WSJ, Bloomberg, CNN, and ABC news.  Because I live in a serious world with serious people.  Intaking Fox News and facebook feeds from "friends & family" with the critical thinking skills of Nintendo's Luigi entitles you to a political opinion.  One you can even express on Surly.  But it also entitles me to laugh my fucking ass off.  If you're onboarding serious journalism and opinion formatting, then you have my attention.  Everything else is just noise.  

"But most of us have families and jobs, we don't have time for all that, Lobo!"  If you have time to buy Trump merch and watch his inane ramblings on youtube, you can pickup a proper fucking newspaper and learn a thing or two.  

I attend AEI and TPPF conferences along with TribFest and TrumanProject events on the other side.  Not because I'm an academic or rich, but because I give two shits.  I watch GOP debates to see glimmers of hope, the way I watch comedies with my sister with Down's Syndrome.  Eventually, there's a light that clicks on and it gives you hope that maybe there are people doomed by nature to be slow like her.  But at least she didn't voluntarily choose to be.  Come, let us celebrate idiocy.  The orange piece of shit will be dead soon enough, sometimes the adults in the room have to start looking for a warm replacement while the rest of dipshit MAGA country weeps over his grave.  Don't weep to close though, because there's no way I'm not shitting on it.

Those are our two choices, bud. Not voting doesn't make you above it all. It means you get to pretend that you had nothing to do with it when Trump and his ilk pass draconian laws and punish women, the LGTBQ community, minorities, immigrants, kids hoping for a decent education, the climate, etc., etc., etc.

Also, any particular nut jobs on the left that you find equally vile to those on the right, or are we just speaking in generalities here?

There is very much a 3rd distinct choice in not voting. I am above it all. I don’t have anything to do with so-called draconian laws - some of which I disagree with (but lol at “punishing the climate” - this is precisely what I’m talking about with CR). Yes, I find many on the left as reprehensible as Gaetz, MTG and Boebert. No, I will not participate in elections where I am given the options I am given. Fuck it all. 

I will, however, have to think long and hard about voting against Trump. That’s about as far as I’d go. And I do understand why the state of the GOP has whipped people into a frenzy here. But I’m utterly fatigued with politics and have been since ‘16. I’m the personification of an Aggie football fan. I won’t participate in the futility.

And that’s fine. If you would otherwise have been a straight R ticket vote, abstention is better than the alternative.

I appreciate the latter post, but this one has me baffled. I’m not dismissing you. I tried to argue with you for a year but the last year just ignore the comments. 

Im not saying you’re making a drama of it, but you did in that post. Saying you and a few others were former proud GOPers is making a point of it. I didn’t do that - you did. And some of your ilk are the most bombastic, verbose posters on Surly. You’re not and I wasn’t even thinking about you in that ilk before you yourself said it. Regardless, to say that CR being a left wing echo chamber is a fallacy is laughable. For example, if I wanted to argue the merits of a hypothetical piece of legislation that @aggie08labels as “climate punishing”, I have to caveat my thoughts in a preamble that apologizes for my sinister thoughts before making my point, or I’ll attain 10 negs before anyone reads what I want to say. It’s not worth expending my energy. So it remains an echo chamber.

Good Evening,

Time and time again, Joe Biden has consistently ignored the crisis unfolding at our southern border. Now that blue states are finally experiencing the disastrous consequences of the Biden administration’s broken border policies, they care. The hypocrisy is palpable. The Biden administration recently admitted that they must build twenty miles of border wall despite efforts to halt all construction immediately after he was sworn into office. Enough is enough. Texas deserves better and I will continue to fight to secure our border.

On Tuesday, I joined Sean Hannity on Fox News to discuss the importance of unifying against the left-wing radicals that are destroying our country.

“I'm feeling many of the sentiments that Republicans and conservatives across this country are feeling. On the one hand, the House of Representatives is the one bright spot we've got. … I don't like seeing chaos. I do hope we can come together and say, these crazy Marxist radical leftists that are destroying our country—we are unified against. I don’t know who the next Speaker of the House will be, but I hope they focus on something I called for nearly a year ago … impeaching Alejandro Mayorkas.”

On Wednesday, I attended the Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing where I questioned the radical Marxist views of Judge Mustafa Taher Kasubhai, a nominee for the federal bench.

“I think your fellow nominees owe you a debt of gratitude. Many Biden nominees have been extreme, but your record is so far out of the mainstream that you have attracted virtually all of the questions. I was particularly intrigued by your statement … you said you are not in fact, a Marxist. And then you said, and I wrote down, ‘I have not praised Marxist ideas.’ Now you know, in law there is the fact of evidence. … [You wrote] an article that is entitled centralized property theory … on the front page of your law school newspaper. … In 2020, you gave a speech entitled reflections on equity and privilege. … Now that’s Marxism in 2020.”

On Wednesday, as the ranking member of the Senate Commerce Committee, I questioned the nominee for FAA administrator, Michael Whitaker. This is a crucially important role as three million passengers board commercial flights every day going in and out of U.S. airports with confidence that they will arrive safely to their destinations. 

“When it comes to aviation safety, the buck stops with the FAA. This is a crucially important role. The next administrator will face serious challenges in rebuilding the FAA after 18 months without a Senate-confirmed leader. They must address the challenges facing the FAA: staffing critical air traffic control facilities, modernizing antiquated air traffic systems, and bringing employees back in person after three years of telework.”

Later Wednesday evening, I joined Mike Warren of Fox 7 News Austin to discuss my bill the Agent Raul Gonzales Officer Safety Act. The bill would protect the brave men and women in law enforcement by criminalizing fleeing from agents or officers in a high-speed chase.

“[The Agent Raul Gonzales Officer Safety Act is] named after Border Patrol Agent Raul Gonzales, who was killed in December of last year. … An illegal immigrant was fleeing from him and his ATV ended up flipping over, and killing him. This bill provides very significant jail time for failing to yield to a border patrol agent because that is endangering not just border patrol agents and law enforcement, but it’s endangering the citizens of South Texas and citizens across our state.”

On Thursday morning, I joined Lawrence Jones of Fox & Friends at a diner in North Dallas to discuss the Biden administration’s false sympathy towards the threat of illegal immigration facing Texas and other southern border states. 

“Blue states are finally seeing the consequences of [illegal immigration]. … What do they think 7.6 million has done to Texas and the other border states? They are experiencing now what we’ve been seeing for a long time, … a crisis that is out of control.  I do not believe for a minute that Joe Biden wants to fix it.”

Rest assured, I won’t let up in this fight to keep Texas safe and secure our nation. God Bless!

Why would you think Senators are deserving of respect?  Tuberville is a complete dumbfuck.

Cruz is smart as shit and directs all his energy to pandering, performative nonsense.  Elizabeth Warren is smart as shit and tries to do stuff to make this a better country.

I mean, look at this dogshit.

 

I didn’t compare the three terrible GOP Congressmen to Warren. Warren IS smart. But she is terrible. For every Cruz video you post, I could post as many with Warren looking like a grandstanding assclown, and looking far worse than Cruz in the videos you posted.

I pretty violently disagree with that.  Warren has actually passed legislation.  Cruz is yelling at clouds.  Examples, Warren legislated into existence an entire federal agency and is openly calling for the resignation of criminal members of her party (Menendez).  That's about 10,000x the level of competence and candor and integrity of Felito.

But you specifically said dipshit whore congressman to a Senator.  There are plenty of dipshit whore Senators too.
