  1. I have been traveling all afternoon and just got caught up on this thread. Can anyone tell me where we landed on if it’s understandable for Muslims to vote for Trump and if he does win should we not feel bad for them? In all seriousness, this Muslim discussion is the wrong way to look at it. Anybody, whether they are white, black, Latino, Muslim, Jewish, LGBTQ, Asian, you name it that votes for Trump and if he wins deserves every fucking bad thing that happens to them. While I will be sad for my country if that fuckstick becomes President again I will be happy that those Trump voters fucked around and found out. The Latinos that voted for him end up getting deported, fuck em. The Muslims that voted for him and then watch him help Bibi really commit genocide in Gaza and the West Bank, fuck em. The LGBTQ people that vote for him and then have their rights stripped by the religious right, fuck em. Every last person that votes for him deserves the worst in my mind and I hope they get it.
  2. Thanks. Does wearing my t-shirt that has a picture of a naked Arnold Palmer count as advocating for Trump?
  3. But you can bring a gun in right since it’s Texas and that’s what is most important.
  4. Drove by two houses in my hood that suddenly had Trump and Cruz signs this morning. I can’t tell you how pissed it makes me. One had a third sign that looked just like a political sign saying something like “Jesus in 2024 is all we need”.
  5. All I know is I am sick of seeing ads every 5 minutes about Kamala giving taxpayer money to transgender prisoners (add in the anti Allred/Cruz ads scaring people that Allred is voting to give all kids sex change operations). If Trump wins based on shit like this I truly will wish the worst for all the people that voted for him. I’m a fairly rich white male so I am pretty sure neither president will affect my life but for those that vote for these guys and then can’t afford health care and die in their double wide, or freeze to death when the electricity/gas fails in Texas or lose their jobs because the corporations move overseas, I will have a smile on my face from ear to ear and won’t feel one ounce of sadness towards those people. It sucks it will hurt tons of people that actually vote for Kamala/Allred and get hurt but I am kind of done with this country if Trump actually wins. My father always said, “the people get the government and politicians they deserve based on how they vote”. Sadly, he was right and we are about to fuck around and find out in the worst way. All this doom and gloom is probably because I am pissed about the UT football game yesterday but this shit is tiring. I will vote and do my part but I can’t even watch the news channels anymore for fear I may have a stroke from the anger they induce.
  6. We are in the Simms/Applewhite stage of our rebuild and Arch will be the Vince Young when we win another championship but not until next year or most likely the year after that. Ewers is on par or slightly better than Simms/Applewhite. Good college quarterback who can beat teams we are more talented than but against a Georgia level D he shits the bed. He can win you 10 games but can’t beat the really great teams when it counts because he can’t handle pressure and if his first read is taken away he can barely make it to his second read or he starts to panic and looks like a freshmen starting his first game. Ewers will win a bunch of the games left on the schedule this year and take us to the playoffs but if we meet a team that can pressure him, we most likely lose. Arch just isn’t experienced yet but once he is he will be way better than Ewers.
  7. Anyone have a link to a stream to watch the game? I’m in Canada and my DIRECTV app is now saying abc is blacked out for me.
  8. I’m at sea right now up near Prince Edward Island and I don’t know if they will show the game on the ship I am on. Gonna try and stream it so hopefully that works. Don’t want to miss the ass whooping that OU has coming to them.
  9. I am really struggling understanding the polling unless the pollsters are just flat out lying. I think yesterday in this thread someone posted how Republican internals show Trump will win PA and all the sunbelt states and easily win the election. What am I missing? It's not like his presidency or anything he has done since then should make more people vote for him. He has always had his base that would vote for him even if Jesus came down from the heavens and told them not to but now the polls supposedly show shifts of people now saying, "Gee, this Trump seems great, and we need to make him our leader again". Only thing I can figure is there may be more people than we realize that won't vote for a woman for President. I hope I am wrong but that would be the reason for the magic polling that keeps showing more and more people moving towards Trump.
  10. Not sure. He just moved in his home. I think 45 minutes north of Tampa and inland more towards Orlando so not near the water. He is young so he moved to the cheap burbs.
  11. My brother has a town home on Sand Key. The island just south of Clearwater Beach. He is still cleaning up from the storm a few weeks ago that brought 4 feet of water into his lower level (garage and office). He just finished ripping the drywall out and now this storm is about to hit. He is evacuating off the island to my nephews house who live farther inland and a little north of Tampa. Scary stuff as I was in Hurricane Andrew years ago in South Florida and don’t with that shit on anybody.
  12. I’m in the middle of the James Carville documentary that ran on CNN last night. It’s pretty good and he is an interesting guy. I would argue he understands politics better than anyone in this country. Paul Begala reps the longhorns quite a bit in the doc.
  13. I am very happy Fox News cares so much about Tim Walz misstatements and they are calling him out on them. I am sure they do the same to Donald Trump. Oh that’s right, they let him lie with impunity over and over again on their network and instead of saying those are lies they just laugh and agree with him. This channel should be taken off the air for the good of the country and fuck the free speech people (which I am one) but they literally are dumbing down the people in the US and hurting this country. Literally, pull the plug and call it an executive order and let half the country bitch and moan. Then take the people working at Fox News down to Guantanamo Bay and have them tell the truth about what they are knowingly doing.
  14. Trump is a traitor. Send me your $9.95.
  15. And this is why last nights VP debate is old news and will be forgotten.
  16. Why would we care that some guy from Nigeria texted you. I got a text from Tim Walz during the debate last night so it must have been when he wasn’t speaking. That’s how important I am!
  17. This might be my biggest concern right now for Kamala. If in the next 3-4 weeks the strike affects the prices of goods (food, tv’s, cars, etc…) then people will listen to the lies of Trump and the right even more when they blame her for this happening and that Trump would have cut a deal with the dockworkers to make everything great.
  18. Watching Tel Aviv live on MSNBC and it looks like missles are hitting the city but maybe they are blowing up in the air from the iron dome and other anti missile defense systems. Pretty crazy watching it live.
  19. Can anyone else hear Trump yelling that this would have never happened if he was president. He would have cut a deal with the port workers, a great deal, probably the best in history for both sides. Same with Iran, Israel, Hezbollah and Hamas. They would all be close friends now if Trump was president. He would probably also say we wouldn’t have hurricanes anymore if you would just vote for him. Millions of people will hear this and say, yeah that makes sense to me, he has my vote.
  20. Since mine is Nixon, fuck you for making me feel old.
  21. Is discectomy the same thing as fusing the discs together? That is the surgery I want to avoid. The fusion. I have read about microdisectomy where I think they shave off the part that is hitting the nerve but not sure I am a candidate. Golf was my one hobby and I played every weekend and haven’t been able to since July so I am pretty angry right now. Not to mention being in constant pain.
  22. Bumping this thread since I also have 3 herniated disks in my lower back (one has a tear apparently). Been in pain since July. Did the steroids and anti inflammatory oral meds and then had a epidural steroid injection 3 weeks ago. Still having the pain and it goes down my hamstrings. No idea what to do next since it doesn’t seem to be healing at this point like it used to in the past when it would go away in a week or two and it’s not like I am golfing or anything to aggravate it. Was looking at stem cell injections and was curious if anyone had experience with those or anything else. Chiropractor? Acupuncture? I’m at a loss and don’t want to have actual spinal fusion surgery or anything like that. It hurts to sit at my desk, sit on an airplane, etc… and I don’t think I can stand and walk for the rest of my life without sitting.
