  1. Great couple of meals over the weekend in New Orleans. Had dinner on Friday night at GW Fins. That meal was fantastic. Started with the wahoo ceviche and the lobster dumplings. Wife had the Parmesan crusted halibut and I went with the Scalibut (scallops and halibut). Spent part of the afternoon on Saturday listening to jazz at Bacchanal. Saturday evening we enjoyed dinner at R'evolution. Started with their version of char-grilled oysters and the blue crab beignets. Wife enjoyed the shrimp with blue corn grits and I went with the scallops and summer truffles. Sunday brunch at the Ruby Slipper.
  2. Agree. We had dinner there last night (R'evolution). Wife had the shrimp and blue corn grits and I had the scallops.
  3. Holy shit! That video clip of him not being able to say "yesterday" or wanting to condemn the riot was fantastic. Fuck that fat piece of shit.
  4. There's a growing list of those who need to hang. Fuck. This country is hanging by a thread.
  5. "It doesn't matter if you're religious or not. Does anything make you feel more uncomfortable than some stranger going, I'd like to talk to you about Jesus?_"
  6. A true "Kiss of Death" always comes with a Trump endorsement. I'm guessing the LIV Tour has about six months to a year left before it dies off now.
  7. Holy shit! He's got pieces of "Cyber" evidence! Hold the fuck on! He's got his own TV network?
  8. Mar-a Lago clientele has really hit rock bottom.
  9. Pulled the trigger on another Marathon. Picked up a GSAR Anthracite (black). Any recommendations for a local jeweler or watch shop in Houston that I can take into to get sized/remove links? It's got double screws seated in loctite. I could do it myself, but don't have the tools. I searched Google and came across the "little watch shop", open to recommendations.
  10. I have a feeling that the Georgia DA is already two steps ahead and knew that Sen. Ladybugs wouldn't come in under her subpoena.
  11. So not only is she against gays having equal rights, but won't even acknowledge that concept of transgenderism. 4. Marjorie Taylor Greene - I'm gonna be honest, too many options to pick from. Here's a syllabus from GLAAD: https://www.glaad.org/gap/marjorie-taylor-greene 5. Back to DeSantis — Vetoed all funding for LGBTQ programs from the $101 billion state budget, including $150,000 for mental health programming to support survivors of the Pulse Massacre and $750,000 to house homeless LGBTQ children, as well as funds for Orlando's LGBTQ Community Center. The veto came during LGBTQ Pride Month and just days before the fifth anniversary of the 2016 mass shooting at the Pulse nightclub, one of the worst in United States history which targeted Central Florida’s LGBTQ and LatinX Communities, claiming the lives of 49 people. 6. Sen. Tommie Tuberville - Lamented Chick-fil-A’s decision to stop giving money to anti-LGBTQ charities: “Isn’t it horrible when liberal activists ruin something good?” 7. VP Mike Pence - supports conversion therapy, believing that since we chose to be gay, we can be shocked/counseled out of being gay, I guess. Even Trump realized that Mike hates the gays. He told reporters that Pence wants to hang us all. 8. More Pence - Stated that LGBTQ-inclusive hate crime legislation would “silence” groups that promote so-called conversion therapy: “Finally, pro-homosexual activist groups such as the Human Rights Campaign have stated their belief that an ad campaign by pro-family groups showing that many former homosexual people had found happiness in a heterosexual lifestyle, contributed to the tragic 1998 murder of homosexual college student Matthew Shepard. There is no evidence that his killers even knew about the ads, and Shepard’s killers told ABC’s 20/20 that they were motivated by money and drugs. However, the danger here is that people use a hate crimes bill to silence the freedom of religious leaders to speak out against homosexuality.” 9. Lt. Gov Ken Paxton, Texas - An Austin school dared to talk about the fact gay people exist during pride month. This aggression will not stand, man! 10. Ken Paxton again - Also is looking for a test case so he can get sodomy laws enforced in Texas again, now that the Roe overturn decision has gotten rid of a right to privacy. 11. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas - In his opinion concurring with the majority, claimed that overturning Roe calls into question marriage equality and sodomy bans, signaling that he'd be in favor of overturning both of those if given the chance 12. Texas Governor Greg Abbott - Issued a recommendation to the Texas state Board of Social Work Examiners that they remove protections for sexual orientation, gender identity, and disability. Following that recommendation, and without an opportunity for public comment, the board voted to adopt the recommendation and consequently Texas social workers can now turn away LGBTQ clients and those with a disability. “There is always a real possibility that trans Texans specifically could be turned away or dissuaded from accessing the medical resources they need. At a time when many in our community require services to make it through an isolating pandemic, attempting to grant providers a license to discriminate is abhorrent,” said Emmett Schelling, Executive Director of the Transgender Education Network of Texas. I could add a lot more, but I'm going to stop here. There is a never ending stream of people in power not only saying things but acting on those things who are actively out to make the lives of LGBTQIA+ people worse than it is today. This is known. I'm taking you at your word that you just hadn't noticed it before. I'll fall on the sword here and say that I do not spend nearly as much time here advocating for gay rights as I used to, but I'm happy to start that up again. But if you are going to continue to support these people, I want you to understand the absolute cruelty against people who are different that you are supporting. Condemning those things in a message board means nothing if you continue to vote for them. "What about paying for those outstanding loans? I see your point and I agree the GOP is actual scum, but I'm voting for them none the less" - Fatty-the-bleeding-heart-knob/riffle-slobberer, probably
  12. This happened to my daughter a few years ago. She had a packet of Advil from an emergency kit in her car. Drug dogs reacted to her car as they were working the parking lot. Proceeded to pull her out of class to open the car for a search. Ripped off the back of the front passenger seat b/c they thought she was smuggling hidden drugs. The wife and I tore into the principal (who we are good friends with) on the idiocy of tearing apart a car.
  13. Why would innocent people fight a subpoena to get the truth out?
  14. We need more Mark Kelly candidates.
  15. Never had a bad meal at Salt. Blue Onion is a good place for lunch.
  16. Fucking Hell! Thank you! "Shit fire and save the matches!"........next rounds on me at the ledge bar.
  17. I'm going to go out on a limb and assume Rudy has no idea of the meaning of "assault". Be it him preying on women or people giving him a pat on the back.
  18. I'm 50 and these last few years have been eye opening. I honestly don't think we can repair/move forward. That breaks me. It will take a world changing event to reunite this country.
  19. I think the term assigned to her is "Ditch-Pig". I'm positive Ditch-Pigs are not human.
