  1. Of course we're getting vouchers. The legislature and governor are just using the pay increases as lube.
  2. One of his best scenes of all time: Reportedly, Hackman's "You heard me, Coltraine" line was ad-libbed and surprised Danny Glover, whose genuine reaction was captured in this take.
  3. Fair point. But to counter that, the cost of living in urban districts is exponentially greater than in rural ones.
  4. Senate Bill 26, which would fund teacher pay raises, passed unanimously. Noticed this detail: KXAN Link I heard a supporter of the bill justifies the disparity in raises by arguing the need to recruit more teachers to rural communities. But I can't help but think this is just another way to stick it to public school teachers in the lib/woke metro areas.
  5. Right, Elon. Because you've already demonstrated how a federal agency these days is a healthy, rewarding, and secure work environment.
  6. Catharsis is okay. As I've mentioned on this or another thread, my 80-year-old father has become a Trumper. But even as some dementia is setting in he still knows well enough to not talk politics. And, he's my dad. So I don't envision ever getting to a point of cutting out my parents. Also, my mom ditched the Republican party during G.W.'s presidency, and has become a full Dem since, so I think she helps keeping him in check. Are your parents all Trumpy in your face? What behavior is potentially stopping you from "continuing the relationship"?
  7. Abby McDeere: What are they going to do to you? Avery Tolar: Whatever it is, they did it a long time ago.
  8. Here's an idea. The White House can gather all of the blankets that were wrapped around measles victims and ship them to Gaza as a "gift" for the Palestinians. They'll never suspect a thing!
  9. Full of meaning.
  10. Son of a midwesterner who grew up loving toast with apple butter.
  11. Really surprised that Jeff Bezos let this one get published.
  12. Yeah, I’ve read that. Apparently he hated that film. It’s still one of my favorite sports movies. His performance in Mississippi Burning is one of my favorites. And his roles in The Firm and No Way Out were also very underrated.
  13. The good thing is that if you have a federal project, there won’t be any inspectors checking for rebar.
  14. Fair. Sometimes I get the shits from reading your posts.
  15. Can a car dealer claim prima nocte? Asking for a friend considering a career change.
  16. Shutting out critical members of the media and allowing only those favorable to your messaging is strait out of the autocrat playbook. But it doesn't seem to be ringing alarm bells to any meaningful degree.
  17. Nice. I usually top my meatloaf with some version of Melinda's ketchup.
  18. You're rather harsh on Brisket.
  19. I've been waiting 16 years for someone to say this out loud. Thank you.
  20. I would have accepted this in Check Out This Fucking Sandwich, or even Shit I've Cooked Lately. That looks delicious. Meatloaf is one of those things that I reluctantly ate as a kid, but have grown to love as an adult.
  21. Keep waiting. He's kicking the malcontents out of the White House Correspondents Association and replacing them with MAGA media.
