I don't post all that often, though don't mistake that for not enjoying this board's discourse, OUsucks/Texags point and laughs, and quality original content on a frequent basis. I haven't felt t

A conversation with my wife: ”We have to go to Chili’s when Kamala wins.” ”…Why?” ”Because that’s what Surly is doing.” ”We have to go to Chili’s because of Surly.” “Yes.”

Did CNN say their exits show 17% of republicans are voting for Harris?

I went to to Twitter and it looks like CNN was saying 17% of Trump voters made their decision AGAINST Harris (vs. voting FOR Trump)

But I don't fucking know shit about fuck.

I went to bed at like 8:30 and my wife I may awaken in a country that moved back 40 years.

Took a peek over at Texags Politics... those people are in a different reality. I understand social media bubbles, but it continues to amaze me the vast difference in sources that some people swear are true and accurate.

I'm remaining cautiously optimistic about turnout so far.

Were you lost?  Did you not know where you were?  I mean pick a topic, any topic and the bolded holds true.

HUGE, if true

 

When I was like 10 and we were busted ass poor my uncle would come to town and take us out to eat and we always wanted to go to chilis for their fajitas. I thought it was fine dining.

when I was in college I lived on skillet Queso and miller lites.

when I was in law school, there weren’t many places to go for dinner so the Cadillac fajitas at chilis was it.

I’m not going to pretend it’s great food and I haven’t eaten there in years and years and have no desire really to go there but I’ve got a long history with that chain.

so I have no problem celebrating Kamalas win with some skillet queso and a plate of sizzling fajitas … though i may bring my own tortillas.

I remember 2016 turning on a dime. I forget what states came in but it went from pretty much a coronation to “oh shit Trump just won”. Then Hillary conceded like an hour later. Good times.

At like 8, there were FL counties that should've been deep blue that were pink. I said exactly that, "oh shit, Trump won."

What does mean they actually did with their ballot, not vote for president? If so, I'll take it.

I mean, we oughta all pick one, and that's the central one.  The 183 and Burnet one is slightly closer to me.  But for the team.  For Surly.  For Kamala.  For AMERICA....I'll go to the flagship Chilis.

CBS News showed some exit polling with some stats that hit me. They asked what were the most important issues to voters - and “the state of the democracy” was 30 something percent for both men and women and “immigration” was 13% for women and 16% for men.

In short, the exit polls showed that the immigration issue was half as important to people as the state of our democracy.  I know this is an unverified small bit of data, but if this holds true, it has huge implications.  

the short version would be that twice as many people are motivated by Harris’s big issue then are by Trump’s big issue

that cannot be good for the orange dip shit

Edit: the winner in the clubhouse issue was the economy, although not much more important than the state of democracy.   As the most important issue, it will obviously benefit a candidate when the voter thinks the other guy is responsible for the bad economy, what’s the moon it will be a negative with the voter thinks the economy is fine or getting better.

Still, to see the state of our democracy beating immigration two to one gives me a positive vibe

As a fellow lake rat, that trek is excessive. There is a certain bent appeal of rolling off the lake looking rough and sliding into the galleria. Fuck the snooty assholes. We are lake rats, hear us roar.

Counterpoint: James Carville and others were raising the alarm a few days before but everybody ignored them - there were red flags for Hillary (none of which were present for Kamala).

True...  I should have known better, but I was still shocked at what information they were holding up as true and accurate.

I'm proud of myself in that it is 4:50 and I have largely avoided any TVs, online coverage on CNN and the like and stuck to here and Threads.  Its a good way to cope with the stress but there will be margaritas tonight.

I just got back from the gym. Almost time to start drinking.

I'm going flying in 90 minutes. By the time I land, it may be over, but I'm going right to bed. I'll check the thread in the morning. We just need good Quinn and no turnovers. God Speed everyone.

Fox folks on The 5: “We’re going to hear from the voters tonight, and then we have to respect it.”

Narrator [if Trump does not win]: They, in fact, did not respect it, and happily amplified Trump's cries of cheating and calls for violent resistance.

Fox News is a fucking insurrectionist shithole, and any other self-respecting country would have drone striked the building by now.

Today is stress night at Chili's.  Tomorrow is celebration at Chili's.

Today, I was in Baytown around lunch time and chose from the billion taqueria options. Chili’s tomorrow will be child’s play.

Every year, I make fun of literally everyone who watches more than the first few picks of the NFL Draft. There's absolutely nothing that you can do about it, and, a few hours from now, you can see everything that happened in 30 seconds on your phone. 

Yet, here I am. In my defense, slightly more important than who the Colts are going to draft as their new QB.

GOP goobers think Biden stole the election and Kamala's going to do it again, so unfortunately, this issue doesn't cut as cleaning for Harris as we'd like to think.
