  1. The government is too inept at running anything except elaborate deep state, long game schemes. This is why Republicans won't appear on gotcha public television/radio programs. They don't want to be fact checked in real time.
  2. And we recently had a fight regarding the right to limit the spread of misinformation. How did that go and who does this aid? I wish more Americans asked this question, along with dissolving federal protection agencies and deregulation. And yet again, dark money now funds lawmakers, which is essentially US law. The United States of America is on its way to fragmenting and it begins with allowing a few to continue their quest to destroy Democracy.
  3. If the feds do nothing, then even more service members will become a problem in the future. Police are kind of doing their own thing in a lot of places--do we need military personnel doing the same? Why would they support a national cause rather than their own home state's deeply seated religious or recently changed laws to propel aggression? The feds are supposed to say, sure it's alright to lock up women who may have had or sought an abortion, no matter the reason. And what constitutes privacy inside of state lines from local and state governments? Probably no longer need to integrate schools either, since states should be able to make up their own laws regarding education, assembly and the welfare of its citizens. I mean, all the gun nuts that have been so worried about a slippery slope regarding their gun rights while furiously masturbating to Red Dawn for decades now, may finally get their opportunity to take on the government. Because none of this stops at immigration.
  4. So let me get this straight, Kennedy Jr. would destroy the business model of the cartels, which is American consumers? Because that's largely why drugs and hookers exist. The same applies to the American industries and businesses that employ immigrants under the table, because they can do that now without securing the border. Just go bust some businesses and industries? Or maybe they'll adjust their child labor laws to allow 14 year olds to cultivate and harvest crops and hold down industrial jobs. I mean what are the full-time benefit packages for 14-16 year olds? Vacations? Where would they go--they can't even drink? Minimum wage is already shit in those states and healthcare is just more socialism. No time like the present for the youth to learn valuable future job skills. I can see farmers and processing plants lining up to pay top dollar for young teens to work. OSHA smosha, we don't need no stinking laws, rules, industry standards, regulations, or taxes. They'd employ even more poor and probably grow the military at the same time. I'm sure the wealthy will send their kids to a factory floor to soak up some of this valuable experiences, in addition to school.
  5. Especially in comment sections--shitty foreign governments found out early that the comment sections were a way to sew discord. After reading an article and reviewing comments for reactions, for all I know, I'm reading scores of Iranian generated bots going at from both sides.
  6. Not much, no, unless Texas is playing and it's March. I stopped watching when I could no longer tell a foul or travel, since the refs didn't call either on star players/teams, especially in pro sports. Fuck basketball, fuck the changing strike zone in baseball and fuck all the targeting, PI and hold calls against Texas but nobody else. Thankfully, we can all wash our hands of anything in the Big 12.
  7. My use of they didn't stop unraveling women's reproductive rights, citizens united and several other harmful cases. I believe Thomas, Kavanaugh, Alito are definites and Roberts ignoring SCOTUS ethics along with his ruling on Citizens United ruling makes him questionable. That's almost half which is all that's needed. Until Roberts takes a firm stand on ethics, unless I missed it--fuck it, Republican appointees judges. They had to have more than just ideological beliefs to be appointed by Trump. Trump is a mobster, and mobsters prefer people with blood on their hands for blackmail purposes. But I am probably pretty far on the ledge at this point, especially since timing is everything now.
  8. I wouldn't watch a game where the rules change depending on the conference or team. What's the point? Maybe people need their medicare, medicaid and social security taken away before they stop playing teams and start playing reality.
  9. Why do they care? They've proven that they just want to get paid by accepting bribe after bribe. They'd essentially just be getting a severance package, instead of extending it over time, and payment would have to be up front.
  10. Haven't read this whole thread, but for me it's when real estate changed and also, as you said, the hidden gems went away. I enjoyed it when food and alcohol were cheap, housing was super affordable, and tuition and really everything for the academic year could be paid just by working full-time all summer, and a part time job on campus during school. Once MTV had Real World Austin, it was over. Went back around 2012 and swore I'd never return. Haven't missed it. I don't want to contaminate my memories with what's there now. Kind of like remembering your old dog when you hung together, rather than right before he passed and he can barely move, is missing teeth, and blind.
  11. Thought Dotards appeal to MAGA dipshits was that he was like them, against the wealthy elites and their swamp? Guess they drive rolls royces and tanks too.
  12. They believe they're united under their disdain for government, while failing to understand that not matter what, they're not Anglos, and that's a major crime.
  13. The Right loves talking about immigrants following the laws towards naturalization, while totally disregarding immigrant border laws, tracks about as well as their christian narrative while allows for immigrants to drown. It's almost like they're idiot hypocrites.
  14. A straight up admission to trolling, not educating. Anybody writing a rebuttal is just wasting time--LL isn't here for that. He's disturbed the hive in his own mind, but not really. I enjoy thinking and reading, so challenging me is an opportunity. But that's not how Republicans want their education and followers to think. They are the ones limiting education and critical thought. But I'm just preaching to the hive of critical thinkers on this board, and not the trolls, whose brand is banning books.
  15. Firehawks are damn interesting. I'll add shrikes, too, and found in Texas: Famous for impaling their victims, these songbirds first use a special maneuver to break the necks of small rodents. It’s no secret that shrikes are formidable predators. The grayscale songbirds of the open country might look as harmless as mockingbirds, but these black-masked “butcherbirds,” as they’re known, pack more fierceness ounce for ounce than any other bird in the country. As the new study reveals, once shrikes induce paralysis with a precise bite to the neck, they roll their heads rapidly to vigorously shake their immobilized food. According to the researchers, this back-and-forth whipping motion generates accelerations of up to six g-forces—roughly the same amount of force felt by passengers on high-g rollercoasters, or the whiplash experienced by victims of low-speed, rear-end car crashes. This is more than enough force to snap the vertebrae of a large rat or break a mouse’s neck, and it’s all generated by the roll of a Loggerhead Shrike’s head. https://www.audubon.org/news/shrikes-have-absolutely-brutal-way-killing-large-prey
  16. A man becomes human at the end, drinking an orange soda and eating biscuits and chili. Edit: It's like they have Frankenstein over for dinner.
  17. But if there was ever a Republican $$$ vacuum, it's Trump. And if Trump loses while taking all their money, I'm down.
  18. Accountability is currently being actively vilified. Nothing their orange god or any Republicans tout benefits them at all. And for immigration: “When a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God." Leviticus 19:33-34 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, ..." Matthew 25: 31-46 Anyways, there's a lot about immigration in the Bible, but what do I know, I'm a filthy heathen? I'm of the mind to offer citizenship to those that qualify and broaden the tax base. Regardless, Republican racism is the only unifying condition for their continued worship of their orange god.
  19. Ha! Can't we all watch a live or 48 hour video feed from every side of our homes on our cell phones now days? I can't imagine having an armed militia and all that land and not being able to monitor my property. But I can't imagine living in a place you don't have to lock every window and door either. Edit: We live off Bladensburg Road--the road the British marched up during the War of 1812 and defeated the colonists on their way to burning the capitol and the White House in 1814. So maybe it's a little like a British crime drama.
  20. Also because Dot has mentioned twice to Roy that she was going to kill him. There have been many odd things, especially if it's supposed to be 2019 or whatever it references to the timeline at the beginning. Cameras don't really seem to exist for one, and people move around regardless with way too much ease. But they do this in all good guy/bad guy movies. I see cameras everywhere, outside of homes, inside of homes, inside of homes facing outside, in cars, on bicycle helmets, all the way down the road and at intersections, which was the same in 2019, aside from maybe dashboard cams. But this isn't a big city, so maybe that gets a pass. Roy and his son fuck too much stuff up regularly not to have visible trails all over the place. They're not discreet or quiet. The lawyer had to know he was going up to die--alone, didn't notify anybody, early evening, unarmed, to threat bargain with the devil. It was a suicide mission. Dot goes into the room and makes a call facing away from the door? Then leaves the gun outside at the well/trough. WTF. Nobody hears the shots at the trough? Anybody that watched David Koresh's compound explode knows that this isn't going to end well for them. There would be a larger army for one, and snipers. Roy just rides around on a horse, devil may care. If the son wanders into camp, they have to divide--a leader that loses his son, which then shows up blinded and disowned has to be a bad leadership sign.
  21. When Penix was on, he erased a lot of mistakes. That's a difficult thing to duplicate. But he's a good coach, no doubt.
  22. No, Washington will not just be back, Kirk. Penix isn't coming back and they lose a lot. Also, they're now going to have to go through Michigan and OSU twice.
  23. Michigan's got lawyers and NCAA always buckles when resistance shows. They're only good for torturing smaller schools.
