  1. That’s what we get. Love it there. Really laid back place.
  2. Anyone else looking at banking overseas?
  3. Matt Gaetz picked to be AG. Loyalty tests coming early and often. Yay.
  4. I wouldn’t hold your breath. Thune has already paid lip service to working with the house and moving Trumps agenda forward. Yippee.
  5. It sucks when innocent people die. I have the same sympathy for them as I do for the people starving in African countries, experiencing genocide in African countries and general atrocities around the world. That said - I have zero sympathy for the people that actively campaigned against the best option on the table for trying to fix a 100 year problem.
  6. Rick Scott loses his bid for Senate Majority Leader. Thune wins. MAGA republicans are unhappy. Yay.
  7. Not sure if this should go here or not, as it’s just for Texas. But, I hope everyone is REAL happy in their marriage. This is being filed for 2025 session. Another Vasut bill would make Texas one of four states that allow “covenant marriage,” a legal arrangement that has been favored by some conservative Christians, including U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson. Under House Bill 931, both parties would have to agree to a divorce in order for a court to grant it. Before that, they’d also have to undergo at least five hours of counseling by a member of the clergy or a licensed mental health professional.
  8. Apparently Turkey no longer recognizes Israel. This is fine. I’m sure everything is fine.
  9. Easy credit is easy.
  10. It’s what 1/3 of Americans wants. 1/3 don’t want that and 1/3 couldn’t be bothered to give a shit and vote.
  11. Exactly. I’ve cut off friends from high school that I still spoke to. I can’t trust any of them now. They voted for the guy that labeled me the enemy from with in (plus all the other terrible shit on his platform). So, now we are enemies and I will act in kind. Side note - being a remote employee has paid off. I don’t have to be around an office full of loud Trump supporters (Fortune 300 company in O&G).
  12. This is our go to. Nice corner suite for not much more than regular rooms at some places.
  13. Yep. Wife has a taser. We are looking for a handgun for her now.
  14. Not in my house. My 13 year old thinks these guys are dipshits.
  15. Get your kids ready to pray!! Trump's campaign has outlined a plan that features prayer in public schools, an expansion of parental rights in education, patriotism as a centerpiece of education and an emphasis on the "American Way of Life."
  16. Does this count as FAFO? The fight for Senate Majority Leader is interesting.
  17. Welcome. It’s kinda nice out here in a misery love company kind of way.
  18. Anyone that pushes back gets replaced.
  19. Here’s what I’m actually thinking because I lived it: Anything that allows districts to cut Special Education more and more and get Special Education kids out of the regular classroom - they will do it. Fort Bend ISD’s track record with Special Education is trash. You want it left to the community, yet I know the community only gives lip service to caring about all kids. They hate when special needs kids disrupt the school (at least in FBISD). So, no, leaving everything to the community level is not reasonable. Also - leaving everything to the state (especially in Texas) is not reasonable. State funding for Special Education is being cut. Hell - vouchers are going to gut public education. I get your sentiment. I partially agree with you - teachers should be able to make and adjust curriculum. Districts and the state should also have guidelines / guarantees for FAPE.
  20. Elon Musk, StarLink, missing ballots, Kamala is quiet, and Trump is quiet - HE STOLE THE ELECTION!! The conspiracies are running out there. Kamala lost - our elections are secure until they are proven 100% they aren’t.
  21. Same. They would be reading the Bible everyday and interpreting it wrong. Science would be gone. Houston has already gotten rid of libraries… I’m sure Fort Bend would like to. Etc etc
  22. Ask McConnel, Lindesy and co. Or Vance and Co. it’s part of their plans.
  23. I watch the local news. I mainly watch for the nightly weather. Outside of that, we watch streaming services - either trash reality TV or documentaries.
