  1. Only sort of related - I drive a Ford. My daughter was in town recently, and one day we pulled up behind a Cybertruck with one of those "I got it before I knew he was a Nazi" bumper stickers. I laughed, and she said, "Yeah that's funny, but what would be really funny is if you got one of those stickers."
  2. I haven't read this thread to avoid spoilers. I really liked Season 1. Episode 1 and 2 of this season have bored me to tears. Is there any reason to keep watching?
  3. This is true. My kid is finishing college in Scotland. Once upon a time an American abroad (and especially a Texan!) was treated like a visiting celebrity. Not so anymore. It's more a mix of sadness and dismay mixed with superiority - like the way we treated Croat and Bosnian refugees in the 90's. Now the first question she gets is "Do you have guns?" After Uvalde the jokes wore thin and she pitched an opinion piece for the student newspaper called "The mass shooting in my home is not your punchline," but they didn't want to run it because if America doesn't like being the butt of jokes about shootings we shouldn't let so many people get shot.
  4. Brother I've spent the better part of multiple Saturday mornings in the Walmart on the Seawall in Galveston. I have seen some shit.
  5. Honestly America would be better off if our consumption shifted back to mostly wearing clothing made in America that was fairly expensive, very high quality, and made by skilled union labor.

  7. My grandad is buried in that cemetery. He served in WWII and took part in the Battle of the Bulge and its aftermath. After the war ended he spent nearly a year on cleanup in Germany and Eastern France. Since he had an armorer’s rating one of his jobs was to destroy M1919’s by shooting them into river banks for hours until the barrels melted. They didn’t have much ear protection and he was hard of hearing for the rest of his life. He died in 2021 at 100, and we finally had the funeral about a year later. It was a small group- me and my kids, my dad and his wife, my aunt and her family, and a couple of friends. They led us to a little pavilion, we all said a few words, they played taps, and folded up the flag. Then the Officer In Charge presented the folded flag to my aunt and said, “On behalf of the president of the United States and a grateful nation, please accept this flag as a symbol of our appreciation for your loved one’s honorable and faithful service.” The last time my grandfather voted in a Federal election was when he voted for Joe Biden in 2020. It was the first time he had voted for a Democrat since Jimmy Carter in ‘76. He said that 2020 was the most important vote of his life, and maybe the most important thing he ever did for his country.
  8. Congratulations to you. Simply gaining admission is an incredible achievement and a huge honor for your whole family.
  9. Speaking of which, did y'all know they might push Colin Allred to run for Senate against Paxton? It’s the political equivalent of point shaving.
  10. Wait- I’m a libertarian now? That’s rich. New here? Whether it’s 2000 when I was at the TDP convention in Ft Worth knowing that the ticket was toast front top to bottom and watching them congratulate themselves for “keeping their powder dry” for the 2002 “dream ticket,” or physically ejecting out of state Clinton ringers from my precinct caucus in 2008, or seeing how they abandoned Chris Bell in a year when Perry was beatable, or later promoted Lupe Valdez as a viable candidate, or now, watching these losers work to avoid contested primaries and seeing how they discourage good candidates from running, I know what I’m talking about and come by my contempt honestly. Republicans did not win Texas. Democrats lost it, period.
  11. Texas Democrats, as a political party, are retarded losers and their incompetence and hubris is how we got here. No offense to you, but I’d rather be a part of an opposition with skin in the game, and calling 30 years of losing and self-inflicted damage a “Republican problem” tells me you don’t have any.
  12. You’re right. We must stay pure, and the only way we’ll avoid attracting the support of undesirables is to keep losing.

  14. I am a river to my people
  15. If only! The ethical crisis precedes Trump and goes well beyond Trump. He’s just one of many rich and powerful people who the legal system protects but does not bind. Good for them, though. May they fail valiantly and honorably, while their profession stands idly by.

  17. What about that one account Ted Cruz likes with Cory Chase?* Did you follow that or maybe pay for BLACKED?** *to be clear, I don’t know who that is ** Also don’t know what that is
  18. Do tell! A couple things: 1) if I was going to buy either I would buy both. How does it work to own both Units of a condo regime if one is a rental or STR? The lot is not subdivided. 2) In this environment, how hard of a bargain could I drive if I was willing to take down both? 3) we’d be looking at an October close. What does the crystal ball say I looking at as of right now with a 20% down payment? Could I homestead both? Would they have separate notes?
