  1. Girls trip with Heidi?
  2. The problem with that is, the desire to protect children is outweighed by the Second Amendment's right to sleep through the night.
  3. Rubio usually has a look on his face that says he was shoved into a lot of lockers in high school.
  4. Edited for reality.
  5. I think you misunderstood that passage about him riding an ass into Jerusalem.
  6. They have a dedicated running club that heads out every morning around 4:00 a.m. or so, even in the rain.
  7. That’s awesome.
  8. You doin’ the drywall work up there at the new McDonalds?
  9. Just like he’s had sex with Heidi dozens of times.
  10. Seeing it Friday with my kids. The trailer didn't really grab me, but I loved Guardians, and the kid in me is still a sucker for a Superman flick.
  11. I don't think Comey's bullshit affected the 2016 election outcome. Trump was still beating Hillary even if Comey kept his mouth shut. But still, fuck him. I hope the Trump gestapo goes full no-lube.
  12. Oh like you've never been to a Turkish bath.
  13. Rain dumping in downtown Austin right now.
  14. Better looking, too.
  15. Your corollary was going to be my response. Sure, in the abstract we can argue that disaster response should be a state activity. Why should my tax dollars as Texas resident pay for some awful nature shit that happens in Florida or Kentucky? But as you allude, when left to the states, there are a lot of states that do an awfully shitty job in providing public services, such as education and roadways and other transportation infrastructure. It may be because they are governed by a political ideology that doesn't want to spend money for those things. Or, as a whole some states are poorer than others, and might not legitimately have the resources. But that's where our federal government has stepped in, whether through the Department of Transportation, the Department of Education, or FEMA. Until Trump 2.0, that is.
  16. 77 million voters see no problem with Texas Republicans.
  17. He's going to cram them all in on the last day, and then it'll be like . . .
  18. Katfid: "Morgan Freeman, Patrick Warburton, Owen Wilson, Luke Wilson."
  19. You mean they actually run a campaign?
  20. Man, I'm sorry.
  21. I read somewhere that some of the parents had already received them. That was a gut punch. I can't even imagine.
  22. Interesting. I've never heard of this dish, and looked up a couple recipes and will make sometime this summer.
