  1. Aside from the issue of first amendment rights, my main takeaway from this thread is whose wives would break their hips spreading for me.
  2. I had felt somewhat removed from news of this social development, though the rhetoric I encountered was offensive. Yesterday, I learned two adult males were set up on UT campus bringing this misogyny to light in a confrontational, demeaning, and sexually explicit sideshow. And my youngest daughter was assaulted by this depravity and delusion on a regular basis. I am less interested in counseling shortshanks than I am in kneecapping them.
  3. Youngest is in college, wife is retired, and my business is portable, though that would be an enormous hassle, but we haven’t made the decision to leave. This is our state. Moving to another wouldn’t put us beyond the darkness of imminent fascistic rule. If we move, we will become expats.
  4. Maybe today’s yutes have morphed the WTO protest encampments with OG protest marches.
  5. Yeah, no. Our student athletes asked for the university to act. Calling their concerns nonsense is arrogant, and patronizing.
  6. Look into alpha-gal syndrome; it might be her opening salvo.
  7. Youngest is in her second freshman semester. She sent this text to me to illustrate what was a common event last semester, and the disconnect between the response to perceived hate speech and blatant, ongoing hate speech. I had no idea she was subjected to this shit day after day. Those two shitbird misogynists would yell at female students using vile and sexually charged derogations. She said police were often in the vicinity, but were unconcerned. Shouldn’t female students be afforded the same protection from hate speech as other groups? Those guys have left. I feel deprived of the opportunity for a righteous face to face confrontation.
  8. No argument. I’m promoting burgers, because, well, burgers. Ineptly. Sadly.
  9. Folks, visit a meat market that sells ground goat meat. Not only is goat meat a healthier choice than beef or lamb, and setting aside that folks can raise goat on grassland that reclaims desert, goat burgers are tastier than chicken, turkey, or plant based derivative burgers. Add a bit of bacon to the mince. And an egg. Experiment with different spices/flavor profile, but don’t skip on salt and pepper. Grill on high heat five minutes to a side, then let the burgers rest wrapped in foil for ten minutes, or so. You want the meat to leave the grill slightly pink in the center, and for them to lose that pink color during the rest. While I probably like beef rarer than most, goat is not beef. Goat is better when it is served medium.
  10. Gotcha. I was surprised that one Justice would so readily interrupt, and cut off, another Justice. I have little experience with SCOTUS arguments.
  11. Maybe I missed it in the NYT synopsis, but the rebuttal to the notion that a motivated prosecutor could indict even a presidential ham sandwich with Dijon, is that presidents are afforded abundant legal counsel, and the precedent is that if an empowered government official declares an action legal, then an individual cannot be charged, much less convicted, for that action. Who knew so many high court justices were DT posters? Holy shit, with their skin crawling they sharply rebuke any mention of the particulars of Trump’s indictments. The claim that what’s important is the abstract, the general effect of their eventual ruling. Hey fuckwads, if the meta doesn’t address this micro, then it is bullshit.
  12. The Senate majority leader, in 2020: (approximately “Convicting on impeachment charges is not necessary. We have a criminal judgement system which is the proper forum for these charges.)” Trump’s lawyer, arguing before SCOTUS: “The only remedy for illegal acts committed by POTUS is impeachment. It has been exactly so for over 240 years.” Fuck these fucks in their fucking fuckholes.
  13. Hartzell damn well provide receipts on how UT rules were broken. But, even if he can make a credible case rules were broken, he still has demonstrated he isn’t smart enough to do his job. He called the cops, and not the fire department.
  14. That’s not the complete picture. They don’t want anyone talking about tfg, (or Abbott, et al.) Just check out the year’s end thread on the board discussion board. Rex and hammer were pitching the idea imma would see big money, from oodles of snowflakes, flowing to him and Surly’s NIL, if not for the discussions in CR. Props to Imma for offering to help those disaffected millionaires set up their own Longhorn NIL deal, so they could support their university without the Surly stank. Funnily enough, they did not take him up on his offer.
  15. And folks wonder why we can’t have nice, legal, flower. Cartel, meet Dunn. Y’all have much in common.
  16. Accepting that these are the facts, those who agree with the actions of the government, listen up: you are no patriot, you are no Christian, you are a “wiping” skidmark in humanity’s boxers.
  17. Good points. Nevertheless, those protests did change public opinion, meaning it affected groups who were neither liberal nor black. Today, though, the narrative changed. Public focus will not be on the message of the protest, but on the action by the government. I guess Kent State might well be a more appropriate historical analogy. Certainly, if the first hand reports I am privy to are correct, students were peacefully exercising their rights, and then the thugs thugged. Imagine Kent State viewed through the social media lens we have today. These students are very savvy in the use of social media. There will be consequences. Still, apartheid protests were way more successful than Vietnam protests:
  18. Was thinking about the protests against apartheid, back in the day. I don’t remember police intervention, and those protests were pretty damn influential. Investments were redirected because public awareness became focused on not enabling the racists. Effectively protesting requires awareness of how to control the narrative. Once the cops start to thug, the narrative shifts.
