  1. Straight dudes could clean up at drag shows if they'd get over their discomfort at being around men who might be checking them out (that is, every young woman's typical experience when existing in a public place).
    Just tip the queens and don't be an asshole if a dude hits on you.
    This is true as well.
  2. More proof Republicans hate everything that is wildly popular for no reason other than to be contrarian. Some form of legal abortion, access to healthcare, football, Taylor Swift.

  3. Has FOX realized if Texas were to secede that; the GOP would lose 40 electoral votes(Dems would only need 250 electoral votes at that point), 25 house seats, and 2 senate seats which would deliver the USA to Democratic dominance of both houses of Congress plus the Presidency for years to come?

    They need a boogeyman reason it doesn’t happen.
    I've yet to hear an explanation of what happens to the military bases on Texas soil that would need to be moved, let alone decoupling everything else.

    Very serious people. Brexit is a rather simple procedure by comparison.

  4. So mishandling the ME like every single POTUS before him, having a shit congress to work w/ that will prevent anything of value from getting done regarding the border, and getting blamed for corporations taking massive profits.
    Like I said, I don't get it. 
    Our media. Full stop. That's the reason for his low numbers.

  5. Fished the Guad Friday with a guide. Took a client with me. As always, I learned a lot, came home, and made a few purchases online. His line was so much better for nymphing-it was like skinny dipping versus. swimming in jeans. Just So much more enjoyable. Guide refunded Monday's boat ride in the rain; nice of him.

    My client had a better day, which was nice because I smoked him on the last trip we took together, so I was happy to see that for him. I think he had 10 fish. Biggest was roughly 17" but a few state fish also.
    I landed maybe 8 fish; most all were 14-17. I had a rougher time with my hookset on nymphing and missed so many. I fish pretty hard, so I was underperforming. Fish were eating everything and also nothing, but we did best on Pheasant tail.

    Water was up a bit and clear. We prefer moving water, but a lot of fish are clumped in slow stuff. The rain did spread them a bit.

    Caught a few on streamers again, both swinging and fast stripping- best part of the day.

    Crowds were ok.
    I'm sure it is insanity this weekend.

    General consensus is that it's not as good as years past, and we don't have the giant pellet hogs in the first three GRTU releases. I'm not seeing a lot of holdovers either, but some. The fish we have look great, though!

    GRTU is doing the last release this coming Sat at 0730 if you want to volunteer. They historically have the least numbers of volunteers on the last release date.

  6. Chickens coming home to roost on the mfers who use social media and TV to defame and damage other people. Alex Jones, Rudy Guiliani and now Donald Trump.  Wheels of justice often run slow but people need to realize that their words can have consequences.
    The milstone does turn slow, but it grinds exceedingly fine.

  7. this is exactly how and why Fox and others have gotten so powerful and wealthy. they figured out how to get people to open their pocketbooks by scaring the shit out of them. it's maddening. I'll say it till it starts happening - there should be bigger consequences for lying. It's just too fucking rampant these days. We have the most information available to us than in any point in history and yet simply making shit up still wins the day. I hate this timeline sometimes.
    Yeah, I was kinda excited about the internet shining a light through darkness and letting democracy shine. Whoops
  8. counterpoint - if used properly, covid could delay every one of his trials for years.
    "my wife thinks she might have covid" has gotten me out of plane tickets, hotel reservations, dinner reservations, birthday parties, baby showers, get-togethers with annoying people.  it's insanely useful.
    I just wish it worked for airlines, accommodations, and Epic pass tickets. I just ate $900 on the latter.
  9. And a lot of that are bots designed to spread misinformation and discord against voting/voting for Biden. 
    A lot of people believe Biden banned drilling. Checks notes/ currently we have record production.

    Example of example of misinformation.

  10. Stick that microphone back in her face and say "Now you do understand that every time Trump loses, whether it be a caucus, a primary, a general election, whatever, he says the results were rigged right? You do understand what's happening there correct?". Fucking educate people on the spot, if you can. 
    The media is wholly to blame and irredeemable.
    They treat insane criminals as rational beings and give equal air time to lies.

    NPR drives me nuts. The equal time bullshit is essentially pro GOP.

    'What do you think Trump meant when he said he wanted to murder Biden?"
    They had some hack on before NH just spewing GOP lies with no blowback.

  11. The “Genocide Joe” China/Russia disinformation is ridiculous bc Trump would have nuked Gaza City the second Bibi called. 
    Maybe, but he also wouldn't do anything to disrupt Iranian weapon shipments to Russia. Then again might recall the carrier fleets and send weapons to Russia.

    We were really lucky in some ways to have so little unrest abroad during his term. Could have been worse.
  12. MSNBC interviewed a NH woman last night probably in her early 30s, who had been undecided between Dotard and Haley. She said she ultimately voted for Dotard, mainly because of how unfairly his term ended in 2020.
    We're just dealing with so many stupid uninformed people. 
    Yep, and "the economy was better under trump ; he kept us out of war: he's being unfairly harassed; he's being taken off the ballot; he would spend our dollars here instead of Ukraine; he would secure the boarder; (and my favorite) I don't like Trump but he cares about the working class."


    Inflation is enough to screw Biden despite the economic realities. Joe Blow doesn't understand GDP or global financial circumstances, but he does notice his dollar doesn't go as far.


    It was shocking Trump won before. This time it would be unsurprising at best.
