  1. I have a feeling that he didn't actually ask his doctor about the vaccine. Either that or his doctor hated him.
  2. It's just fucking pathetic. Makes me embarrassed to be an American. I wonder who the next reality TV show host Republicans choose will be.
  3. I didn't say I only voted Republican.
  4. I'm a moderate who has consistently voted Republican in state elections, and I'm pretty damn sick of the far-right state government we've had for 20 years. Donald Trump getting elected pushed me over the edge. I'm 45 and this is not the Texas I grew up in.
  5. It's even worse. 1 out of 18 kids this year won't even be a kid next year, but the media is ignoring it.
  6. I finished this today. It took me multiple sittings since I could only take 20 minutes at a time. I was entertained, but it's not really a good movie.
  7. What would you do if you were UTG there?
  8. Yeah any god that gave us Donald Trump seems like an asshole.
  9. I have to admit, these last six years have been really eye-opening.
  10. I persuaded a friend of mine to get the jab. She's 50. When I found out she hadn't been vaccinated, I asked her why. She responded "I already had Covid." "You did? You never told me that. When did you get it?" "I got it around Thanksgiving 2019. I was sick for days." "2019 or 2020?" "2019." "Were you in China or something?" "No. It was going around here before it became official." "Did you lose your sense of smell?" "No." "Did you lose your sense of taste?" "No." "Why do you think you had Covid?" "Because I was sick." This is what we're dealing with people.
  11. So tomorrow's the big day? I wonder what Billy and April think of all this.
  12. You won't understand because it's difficult to put yourself in the shoes of someone who has difficulty thinking properly.
  13. Hey remember all the retards who said that Covid talk would go away after the election?
  14. At this point I've just about lost faith in this country. I don't know which is stupider -- electing a failed businessman President of the United States, or not getting vaccinated in a pandemic.
  15. Wow, if only we had a vaccine readily available to protect ourselves from this pandemic.
  16. I have the feeling the end result is going to be the same.
  17. I had actually forgotten about that. Maybe HBO can do a Rudy miniseries or something. Again, Danny DeVito would be a great choice to play him.
  18. Abbott isn't stupid. He understands that the far-right base controls the primaries, and he has to appeal to them if he wants to get re-elected. And much of the far-right base does not think the government should make pragmatic, economic decisions when responding to the pandemic, in the name of freedom and individual responsibility. Yet Abbott knows that most Texans want an effective governmental response to the pandemic, in the name of health and general welfare, so he let local governments make the decision. He didn't care that it made him look weak. He felt that was a good middle ground. Perhaps he even thought it was a good thing. But because his response was weak, Covid got out of control last summer, and he was forced to impose the state-wide mask mandate. The base was pissed, and they apparently just don't care that it worked. When the vaccines started rolling out, and it looked like we were going to beat this virus, he decided to show some strength and ban mask mandates. His base loves authoritarians and centralized power, and they cheered him. But he acted too soon. He didn't effectively consider the number of imbeciles who wouldn't get vaccinated because they read something on the Internet, and now he's painted himself into a corner. On second thought, maybe Abbott is stupid. Never mind.
  19. Will he tell the story of how he lied to courts and to the American people?
  20. Yeah I'm in this case right now representing the purchaser at a foreclosure sale, and it appears the foreclosure was, indeed, wrongful. I asked the plaintiff's attorney "Why didn't you get a TRO and save my client all this trouble? They're granted at a 100% rate."
  21. In all fairness, Judge Arteaga isn't exactly known as having a great legal mind.
  22. How would it not be a win for Biden?
  23. DeSantis has to act stupid because Republicans would never vote for him if he appeared to be too smart.
  24. Republicans are all for the "free market" as long as they get to regulate that market.
