    It's essentially a game thread that's been around for over 7 months, and now it's gameday. Of course the thread is going to turn to shit.

    Like we always do about this time.

    That’s what it boils down to.  Who you choose on the ballot, is who represents your values.  

    Not really, especially if you feel obligated to pick between Rs and Ds. In that case, your choice represents a choice between two individuals, neither of which likely fully represent your values, but whom have been selected by the political apparatus as your approved options.  So you make a choice.  Or you write in Willie.  Or whatever.

    If the dems take house or senate you’ll see republicans slowly start to turn on Trump imo.

    I don't think that the house alone does it. They will justify to themselves based on historical midterm trends. Now if the Senate flips, shit gonna get good.

     Anyways, as long as people vote and it sounds like people are in record numbers, I think we will get the government we deserve and I respect that, no matter who wins. 

    I think that we should reconsider this whole idea of universal suffrage.

    Somehow it became a telephone game and Brisket ended up Jewish.

    Somebody better straighten this all out before he finds out the impact of kosher food restrictions on chicarone consumption and someone posts something really hysterical.

    Did I justify what Brisket posted or make an equivalency to another post?

    No, never mean to imply that you did.  CA chastised babbydaddy for propagating a false equivalency. When in reality he didn't make a false equivalency.  If anyone was equivocating it was hobbes. 

    But I do fundamentally agree with hobbes and you. Either we embrace the thunderdome, or we embrace heavy and consistent moderation. Personally....

    I'm not sure what thread this belongs in (probably none), but I jumped in the car ~ 11:10 today and the radio was still on KLBJ-AM from my drive in when I was hoping to catch Todd & Don in a meltdown.  (Didn't happen.)

    Rush was on, and in the span of a 10-minute drive, he quite literally hit every talking point.  It was impressive.  Illegal immigration, guns, Bart O'Kav (and Squi), the relationship of the media with the Dems, abortion, you name it.

     My favorite was him bellyaching about the idea that had Clinton or Obama invited CNN reporters on stage at a rally, they DAMN SURE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN UP THERE, so what's all the fuss over Trump inviting a bunch of FOXkins on stage?  COME ON!  (Er, Clinton and Obama didn't invite reporters on stage, you stooge.)

    Do you even KUT bro?

     There needs to be a lawsuit over those spinny wheel Hart eSlate machines. This is 2018. There should be no need for a  (and I'm quoting from the Texas Secretary of State's guidance to voters and election officials voter to "wait at least 3-5 seconds for all choices to be rendered on the eSlate voting machines. Counties in which voters have longer ballots may require additional time to allow the screens to load fully." That's kind of bullshit. My phone would be faster. How on earth are these machines so bad? The only time I have to deal with them is when we do ISD voting. My county thankfully has touch screen which doesn't require you to slow down to a snail's pace so it doesn't fuck up your vote.

    I hope after this election the Texas SoS requires every county to move to something a little more modern and not built on 1960's technology.

    If I can submit my taxes, manage all of my finances, and basically conduct every piece of business in the modern world online, I should be able to cast my vote electronically as well.

    Well than at least get your facts on the context straight.  Brisket isn't Jewish. His ethnic group was not just targeted in a mass shooting on that day. He was doing his standard bit, amping the rhetoric on the board up, expressing his wish that some random poster on the internet that he took offense with would get the chance to watch the life taken from the eyes of their family while they bled out on the floor. Now I don't really give a fuck one way or the other.  But everybody needs to stop whining and acting like pussies.

    The child tax credit is not assistance. It's a credit, like many other credits or deductions.

    I don't even know what y'all are arguing. Doesn't matter.

    And it phased out starting at 110k married.  Or use to. This year it starts to phase at 400k joint.
