  1. To keep the Blazing Saddles theme going.
  2. I mean, so they tried to subvert our Democracy, overturn a free and fair election and have a dictator put back into the Presidency. Is that really a crime? I mean in the good old days they would just be considered some “forward thinking, go getters”. Let’s not forget that Obama once wore a tan suit, so you see this type of stuff happens on both sides of the aisle.
  3. RIP. He had been sick for years but its still shocking when it happens. It’s funny that I think of him being great yet it’s really based on just one album, Bat out of Hell is still fantastic to me.
  4. I insulted you because you appear to be an idiot. I am glad to know the insult worked as that is what its purpose was. You still haven't stated one iota of truth. Maybe step away from your Republican talking points and state facts. You claim mail in voting is ripe with voter fraud, yet you show zero examples of that. I gave you an example of a state doing all mail in voting with zero fraud, and you now run away. In the words of Willy Wonka. Good day sir.
  5. You are not very intelligent, are you, or is this just you trolling? Mentioning Al Gore has nothing to do with what you are talking about and that was in person election ballots that were being recounted because the election was so close in FL and there were a lot of irregularities with the vote. I very familiar with what went on in that election as the Bush lawyers used a case about my father when they went before the Supreme Court to show that Katherine Harris had the right to stop the counting.
  6. I know. Fucking Libertarians!
  7. WA state is all mail in voting since I believe 2011. They send a ballot to every registered voter in the state is what I understand. Are you saying that their elections have all been fraudulent since then? If not, then why wouldn't this work in all other states?
  8. I will admit I am confused on this voting rights and Manchin issue. Is he in fact against this bill or is he just saying he doesn't want to change the filibuster to get it passed but he will absolutely vote yes for it? I would ask the same question about Sinema. Since I haven't read the bill, what is in it that the Republicans are claiming to oppose exactly.
  9. What issues with mail in voting are you referring to? Please cite specific examples. I know many states like WA and super liberal Utah have used mail in voting for years and had like no issues with it from what I understand. We just had mail in voting during the pandemic for most states and I don’t seem to recall huge issues with it.
  10. Have you been locked up in Guantanamo Bay for the last 10 years?
  11. This is what is so damn frustrating with this country. Out of 100 total Senators we have 49 Dem Senators that will vote for a bill and 2 Dem Senators that won't. We also have 49 Republican Senators all who won't vote for a bill. The media and then the dumb ass people of this country blame the Dems instead of asking the question to why you have 49 Republicans not willing to vote for a bill. Yeah, yeah, I know. The Republicans won't vote for anything to give the Dems/Biden any kind of win but at some point it would be nice for the media to actually call those fuckers out on that over and over again so it can maybe resonate with the people of this country.
  12. Didn’t you hear from he Pats thread last night that Belichick is a total fraud?
  13. And we told him we are already full at LB so no thanks?
  14. So who are the options to portal in to help the D from a LB and DE perspective. If the coaches (including Sark) trot the same players out there next year with the same results then they should all be fired. Guys like Brock are not good enough to play Div 1 and aren’t going to magically get better this offseason.
  15. Just wait until next week or maybe the week after. He doesn’t get to play against this defense every week. So glad I get to have the two teams I root for (Pats and Horns) field laughable defenses this year.
  16. It’s too bad they don’t still have Tom Brady. He may be the fastest player they could field right now on their defense.
  17. You couldn’t be more of an idiot if you tried. The Pats are a rebuilding team with a rookie QB and they won 10 games and made the playoffs. His defense is old with no speed so you could argue Belichick the GM is a fraud. I’m not even that mad at this point as they are just not that good of a team yet.
  18. Bengals Bills Bucs Cowboys Chiefs Rams
  19. I haven't looked closely at all the school rankings but my kid is about to start this process of picking a school in the next year. The issue with Texas is, let's say he wants to go to Business school. If he gets into UT but not their business school I am not sure going to business school at Tech, UTSA, Houston is as good as say getting into a business school at another state's major university (not just SEC schools but all over the country). I also know it depends where you want to live after college as a Maryland degree may be better up in Maryland than say in TX.
  20. (Not about athletics just regular students) I have friends in The Woodlands whose kid is at Arkansas because of this. I think the main problem the state of TX has is that after UT what schools are really that good to send your kids to compared to a state school like Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia, etc…. Assuming your kid doesn’t want to go to College Station that leaves Tech? Private schools like SMU, Baylor and TCU? UH? For such a large state the public colleges kind of suck after UT compared to say a California where the UC system seems to have great schools up and down the state.
  21. I’m at the Fort Lauderdale airport and they have 3 bottles of Blantons for $75 each in the Duty Free store. I tried to buy them but apparently you have to be leaving the country to purchase them. I never buy in duty free so I guess I didn’t know the rules. Pisses me off.
  22. This is sadly the truth. The right wing media is hammering away at the country that Biden is the worst president ever and the country has fallen apart under him compared to the previous guy. By the time of the 2024 election half the country will have pitch forks going after Biden even if they themselves are doing great. As an example, I was with some Trumpers the other night and they were complaining how Biden is destroying the economy and its killing them personally. These people are what you would call rich and seem to have no problem buying a new car recently, going to Fiji on vacation and eating out every other night and posting it on Facebook yet apparently their lives are falling apart. It’s all what they believe because Fox News tells them to believe it. I will give one other thing I noticed just this morning. All the networks are talking about inflation/consumer prices rose to the highest level since 1982. Fox News pundits were blaming the President and it’s all his fault and how horrible he is. That is fine but it seems to me in 1982 there was a President that all the Republicans seem to think was the greatest ever. An intelligent person can see that you can’t say Reagan was great and the inflation in 1982 wasn’t his fault but Biden sucks and the inflation in 2022 is all his fault. Unfortunately we are not dealing with intelligent people in this country and the Dems suck at messaging while the Republicans are experts at messaging.
  23. I see you are doing the reverse reverse jink huh?
