  1. Well to an Austin kid in high school in the 90s it was an Austin institution. But yes, sadly a Houston product.
  2. Lol just making sure. I lived there in high school and early college. Didn't want you to blaspheme one of my Austin institutions.
  3. Fuck China. Make them do something stupid or call their bluff. Either way, one of our leaders should be able to go to a (currently) free country if they so choose and if the country allows
  4. But what about all the other countries who ban machines of war?
  5. Those prepeeled garlic packages are a life saver. Especially when making 40 clove chicken.
  6. Also, this is interesting. Makes a really good old fashioned believe it or not.
  7. Have they been involved in any of what I highlighted? Are they the master at the strategy of gaslighting populaces to sow discourse to further their goals? When being gaslit, you inevitably consume some off the wall shit as a side effect of being gaslit so that you lose the point....of being gaslit by a nefarious actor. You feed and perpetuate that cycle which is what gets you whatever Putin puppet tag you are so concerned about.
  8. No you are telling us to ignore Russia and their deconstructive antics. To not factor their strategies within contexts of situations. That they are only a boogieman and never a player in whatever topic at hand you feel we should deflect from. So are they involved within any of the topics I questioned above?
  9. And that's objectively ok
  10. Great Did they have ANY involvement in Brexit? ANY involvement in trying to break up the EU/NATO? ANY involvement in our latest elections? Do they fund the Trump Org in any way? By a sizable portion? How about a strategy in Syria to push refugees to Europe? Negate responsibilty of downing a passenger jet? Massive amount of malware attacks on our society? Just throw all that away because we are just as bad? That's your contention? Or that you think Russia is too inept to do any of the above and it's all a narrative brought about by the American intel community and propagated by the media monolith?
  11. Because Carter Page and some server thing proves that Russia isn't doing anything nefarious around the world. And you're too stupid to see a failing in one little part of the narrative automatically nullifies the rest. CIA out front should have told you
  12. If you shit and no one hears it, did you really eat that cannoli?
  13. No no, I prefer to have a major blindspot towards a corrosive actor whose only way to be relevant is to attempt to destroy other countries/alliances that ensure safety of those regions (along with brags about it and provides ample evidence that they are doing so), yet makes sure to point out the travesty of FISA in typical both sides deflection whenever possible.
  14. Well it is the party of personal responsibility
  15. He killed her for the tax break. Prove me wrong.
  16. Up in the middle of nowhere Colorado, in some random liquor store next to a gas station I was filling up at. Left with both for about $110 and the owner was happy to get rid of them.
  17. My concern is the Q crowd going ballistic on the info within the new context of Trumpism and conspiracy theories.
  18. It really is an odd disconnect. Person rails consistently about the US intel community and their overreach in all areas, and yet...... a defender and deflector of a country ran by an intel officer with a long history of destabilizing countries to further their power goals. But FISA
  19. I don't disagree at all. But will uncover the ability our government has to view everything that is done online, even behind encryption.
  20. Of course they have it available in that major data center in Utah. But think of the shit storm that would generate if they came out with the texts from a supposedly secure platform like signal/telegram/etc (completely valid though).
