Brian Bosworth lives here as well. I don't know his political views but I assume they are horrific.

He was cool the one time I ran into him and had no problem with my kid having a UT cap on.

Yes, he's a Sooner, but.....watch the documentary about him.

Also, if he was Trumpy, I think it'd be easy to find stuff on him.  Instead I find stuff like this:

I know he's a born-again/Evangelical person nowadays.  I would think of all the folks I know like that in that part of town, I would have seen his name on a fundraiser or two...but I haven't.  I'm guessing Boz is relatively apolitical or keeps it extremely quiet...rumors out that way travel fast.  Used to see him at HEB all the time before Covid-19 and he was always polite.  Chatted with him in line one time about football.  Most of the time, nobody noticed him.  Few times people did, he'd do a quick photo or whatever and be on his way (he looks good for his age but moves pretty rough).  There's more than a few ex-athletes out in that part of town that make their political affiliations loudly known and demand attention.  He ain't one.

I just got a mailer this morning from a realtor expressing interest in our home on behalf of a buy-side client.  Wouldn't have even given it a second glance before tossing in the recycling bin.  But it said, "Bristol Palin Real Estate."  Because of course it did.  We're not living in a simulation, NAH!  This is all the Lord's plan, right?  Now I don't fault her for anything, not her burden who her parents are.  But I've been so busy vilifying the DFW area realtors that almost topped my government in front of the world, I've been neglecting the land parcels in my own backyard.  We are on such a weird timeline, I had no idea she was slinging single-family outta Pace Bend area.

All of that area is pretty bad, in multiple ways.

First, most of that area was a rural backwater before Lake Dallas/Lewisville was expanded in the 50s.  I mean, they don't put reservoirs where there's valuable land or people with any kind of stroke at all.

Then it became further populated with the ever-present "lake trash."  

Now, like a lot of outer burbs, it's full of low-cost but new housing.  That provides a nice opportunity for people moving up.  It also creates a lot of semi-wealthy white trash types.  Think affluenza kid.  Think Jenna Ryan.

The outer burbs of Dallas and Fort Worth are a toxic clash of urban and rural life.  What were absolute redneck shitkickers 40-50 years ago now transplanted into an exurban hellscape.

One of our own Shaggy/Surly posters played a role making in that Brian and the Boz "30 for 30" episode. Up until that point, I still had a strong hatred for the guy, but the poster who was involved said that Brian Bosworth was a really nice guy nowadays.

Wow, you're not kidding.  Just googled images of her.  She's smoking hot for a realtor (doesn't have the big hair and pants suit thing down yet though), recently divorced, and can obviously be talked into just about anything.  I may have to reply to her letter.

"Uh, Ms. Palin.  Is it Mrs?  What should I call you?  Oh, Bristol?  Okay great, Bristol.  Well it says here in your letter 'interesting offers considered?'  Does that apply to you also?"

I sat with him on an AA Dallas to Austin flight one night. We were in the first row and about 20 people recognized him as they were boarding. He was polite to all of them and even joked around with a couple people that threw the horns at him. Once we were in the air one of the FAs was like "Well I guess you're someone famous?" He just shrugged and said "I used to play football" and left it at that.

Way back when I grew up in Denton, it was a tiny little trailer-filled podunk town that existed only because of:

1.  The lake

2.  It was in the only wet precinct in otherwise dry Denton County

I assume it's now filled with Salt Life assholes who make their living flipping empty lots.

Interesting fact.  In 2000, its population was just under 3,500, now it's over 50k.  So now the rednecks and lake trash are diluted with nouveau sorta riche.  All prime Trumpy territory.

Do these morons realize that while Trump can be filmed/recorded committing a crime/covering up a crime...that courtesy is not extended to lower-eschelon stooges.  And if they're relying on him pardoning them...he can't do it for another three years at best.  That's a long time to spend in federal prison.

It's an interesting criminal law problem.  While those are literally "false election documents," I believe everyone that knew anything about them, state secretaries of state, the archivist, people of that nature, knew that they were basically a LARP, like those assclown electors that presented themselves in DC, I think, to the National Archives, attempting to transmit similar documents and were denied entry.

So they were false documents, presented to relevant people with the intention that the relevant people "rely" on them, but all of the relevant people knew that they were bullshit and none relied on them.

It's like going to a bank and announcing "I am person X and I have here checks on the account of person Y" and proceeding to forge Y's signature on one of the checks.  And going to the teller and trying to cash that check, and possibly presenting your person X drivers license.

Obviously it depends on the statute defining the offense.... but here's a reminder that we sent a lady to prison for "illegal voting" in Texas when she said and presumably believed she was eligible, was offered a provisional ballot to fill out because she wasn't on the rolls, she filled it out, and it was never counted.
