    i'm currently encamped in east texas trumpland taking care of my dad post-surgery this week. i would just like acknowledgement of the effort it is taking me every time im in his room to do something for him, fox on the background...it's all i can do to not say 'this shit is what is rotting your brain!' 

    i'm being very, very restrained 😐

    *sigh* it just makes me sad. 

    Turn it off. Seriously if you’re having to take care of him you are now the parent.

    I think a better way to get his ass killed is leave him attached to a slow middle aged human that already had a heavy pack on him.  I had him on a handless leash that attached to my belt so his best bet was not to be attached to my slow ass if a moose was coming after us.

    My son and I were chased by a small moose in Moonlight Basin up the mountain from Big Sky so this hits close to home. I remember thinking "Okay, I'm the adult here so at some point, I've got to figure out how to fight this thing". Luckily, he was able to hop the same townhouse fence that I tumbled over.

    Kevin is disappointed in y’all

    live in the most diverse county in Texas.  I do not know what the breakdowns are.

    I’m pretty sure you, like me, vote during early voting and you have choices about where and when you can vote. Come November 8, go down to one of the polling locations on the other side of the tracks at 6 pm. Mark the person at the end of the line (it will be out the door and down the sidewalk) when you get there and time them till they come out. These are folks who can’t take off work to go vote at their convenience. They may have had to scramble to find childcare so they can vote on election Day. They may have had to take a bus, or even more than one bus to get to their designated polling location. Whatever the circumstances may have been that kept them from early voting, they still have the right to vote. And I bet they can’t do it on election day in the evening in 10 or 15 minutes.

    But your question is wrong footed from the start.  THAT is why no one is going to engage you, because you are not really interested.  Your mind is made up. Plus, you are comparing apples and fucking oranges and trying to pass it off as just asking questions.  You might be an idiot, but the rest of us aren't, and it is a massive waste of time to even respond to you.

    Pretty sure no one is prohibiting the possession of water.  I can understand you're upset that the free shit army has to draw the line somewhere.

    So you think it is reasonable to have to plan to bring water with you because you know you are going to have to wait in line for hours in order to cast your vote? 
     

    I’ve been civil with you thus far. Your free shit army comment is fairly ridiculous if you are at all familiar with my posting history. I’ll just say my problem is not with restricting “free water” but an arbitrary constraint on voting that makes water in line and bathroom access necessary as part of the voting process.

    For crying out loud, something like 40% of Texas mail-in ballot applications are being rejected because the law makes it ridiculously vague and hard to get a ballot.  That's ON PURPOSE.

    Ironically, here in Texas this will likely disproportionately harm Republican candidates, because mail in isn’t available to everyone. The elderly (and maybe military living elsewhere?) are much more likely to vote this way, and in Texas more likely to vote republican

    Outside of message board hyperbole, neither are the R's. 

    This is absolutely not true. Several states have enacted more restrictive voting laws. A few states have Republican candidates running for SOS on a promise to overturn the will of the voters of their state if their preferred candidate doesn’t win. I mean these people are saying this stuff, go watch their campaign videos. Many will win their primaries and some will get elected. These are your people  

     

    If one of my daughters is raped, she may have to carry her rapist’s child to term here in Texas. Your mainstream GOP legislators passed this bill and your mainstream GOP governor signed it. And these mainstream elected officials are facing primaries from their right. It’s going to get worse. Open your eyes. This is not hyperbole 

     

    I have a lot of problems with an overly broad social safety net. I’ll take a Medicaid expansion and prolonged unemployment benefits any day over what we are seeing from the current GOP
