  1. agreed.  My mistake.  Should have said conservatives.  People different from the enlightened left.
    I've had your takes foisted upon me for well over a decade sir, you are big ol bucket of red raider and woodlands meh. I guess I appreciate the perspective
  2. This fucker not being struck down by a lightning bolt is proof there is no god.
    The Lord promised no floods but the fire next time. Maybe this is our own vengeful old testament God punishment.
    Maybe Ray thought about Trump instead of Staypuff.
  3. Thanks for the info Bama Chick. I did find that interesting. But that's enough detail for this crowd to tolerate.

     

    Don't let Aggie catch wind of that strategy or the old army weirdos will deploy some serious one-upmanship.

     

     

  4. Answer to his question: when you vote to confirm a guy who was only nominated because he took the view that sitting presidents cannot be indicted to the Supreme Court. Donald Trump cannot be described as an authoritarian unless people in the Congress allow and enable him to, and that’s precisely what Jeff Flake did. If ever there was a US Senator with a more appropriate last name, I’ve never heard of such a person.
    Takin Oliver Bribes agrees

  6. Man, I just finished a business dinner and I never talk politics or religion but somehow my client (around 40 years old) started talking about the news today and I said it looks like Trump may be in trouble.  Next thing I know this guy is going off on how Biden and his son are the crooks not Trump and Trump is the greatest president ever, the economy is the best this country has ever seen thanks to him, the world loves us again thanks to him, and on and on and on.  He then added that Trump cleaned up the housing mess caused by the Democrats that Obama couldn’t fix.  I had maybe too many bourbons so I asked if he watches Fox News and he said it is the only real news and everything else is fake.  I said maybe go look at Reuters, BBC, AP, instead of CNN and MSNBC and see if those are more neutral and he railed on about how all of those are liberal and lie about our president.  I will add that this guy is a very smart, successful business man and I was kind of shocked.  If people like him believe everything they are told by Trump and Fox News I think I may have to take my bottle of William Larue Weller and join Brisket on his ledge.  Holy Shit!

    Welcome to the party pal!

  7. Trump must not have a tanning bed available to him the last few days. He went with some self tanner and it's a little too dark. More brown than his usual orange. And Boris may look like an idiot but he's better spoken than Trump.

  8. When the last rose of summer pricks my finger,
    And the hot sun chills me to the bone,
    When I can't hear the song for the singer,
    And I can't tell my pillow from a stone,
    I will walk alone by the black muddy river,
    And sing me a song of my own,
    I will walk alone by the black muddy river,
    And sing me a song of my own.

    When the last bolt of sunshine hits the mountain,
    And the stars start to splatter in the sky,
    When the moon hits the southwest horizon,
    With the scream of an eagle on the fly,
    I will walk alone by the black muddy river,
    And listen to the ripples as they moan,
    I will walk alone by the black muddy river,
    And sing me a song of my own.

    Black muddy river, roll on forever,
    I don't care how deep or wide, if you've got another side,
    Roll muddy river, roll muddy river, black muddy river, roll.

    When it seems like the night will last forever,
    And there's nothing left to do but count the years,
    When the strings of my heart begin to sever,
    And stones fall from my eyes instead of tears,
    I will walk alone, by the black muddy river,
    And dream me a dream of my own,
    I will walk alone, by the black muddy river,
    And sing me a song of my own, sing me a song of my own.

  9. RIP Robert Hunter. He passed away last night at the age of 78. 

    https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/robert-hunter-grateful-dead-dead-889788/

    He was one of the greatest lyricists of all time. Dylan's got nothing on him. 

    Thanks for letting your inspiration flow, Robert, and fare you well. I love you more than words can tell. 

    So true. I have Box of Rain: Lyrics 65-93, and I thumb through it all the time and find amazing things.

     

  10. it is the fuckbucket that is modern day America. the people at the head of the table are retarded, they know it, and you can't do shit about it. vote democrat? lol. pass the gravy fuckboy. 
    *turkey starts dancing on the table*
    happy?
    next week will be even dumber but i am hoping its still nuke free. have a good one friends .
    Fuck yeah. No nukes brother.
  11. He forgot we killed 30 civilians in Afghanistan, I think it was
    We've killed over a quarter million civilians in that area post 9-11 so that's sadly not news worthy at all. To maintain that high octane offense you need chunk yardage sometimes.
  12. Slippery slope.  
    And I can’t find a single politician I trust from any party, ever.   Radio played Beto talking this AM, less than a year ago about “I’m not taking your guns - reform etc”.  Then “his” city gets shot up and he’s a joke in the polls and now, “IM COMING”.  Oh that bumped my #’s? Well then I’m real Fucking angry Fuck you bleh. Oh another bump?The only thing he has in common with the poor souls that perished that day is a zip code, if that.  He sure didn’t gaf when his in-laws were trying to push them out of their neighborhood for a buck.  Real genuine guy. 
    I own an AR and used to feel this way.
    Then Vegas happened.
    I changed my mind.

    You think Beto meeting with so many victims had zero impact on his believes?
    I've seen him at 4 townhalls, and I believe he is a genuine empathetic person operating on what he believes in. That probably means he will never be elected.

    We let the gun lobby go to fucking far and the rights unwillingness to have any meaningful reform is going to have consequences.
  13. MFA will hurt the future of healthcare in the US and actually the world as there are less profits available. I can get that we all think healthcare providers and companies should only be in the industry for altruistic reasons but that is naive. Profit has funded many of the advancements.
    I also believe that current quality will suffer as well due to lower overall payments. I know MFA proponents say that lower admin costs will offset this but I haven’t seen anyone in the industry agree.  And that includes not for profit organizations. I’m open to seeing the data behind their claim. 
    Ending the profiteering of insurance companies has no effect on quality of healthcare. Insurance companies exist to make a profit purely.
    MFA wouldnt change the profit structure of providers nor deencentavise innovation. Develop a useful drug and you're getting, perhaps more so because you don't have insurance companies denying coverage of expense drugs or procedures.
  14. Also fuck the commentators on NPR for declaring that Biden did pretty well.
    Bullshit he looked like a confused grandpa reminiscing about his glory days. Multiple gaffs and confusion. I felt visceral embarrassment for him and my country. Call it what it was.

  15. MFA is a loser idea. Perhaps there can be some ideas around expanding it, in terms of lowering the age you can start, or allowing some lower middle class people to buy into it. However most likely this will do nothing except bankrupt it faster. In other words, we need more taxes to fund it.  
    The main people that want MFA are people that are on Medicaid or just can't get any insurance because of cost. I don't know if Dems need this vote over potentially losing others.
    I am self employed, and would guess I've paid out 100k in my life on just my monthly premiums, for maybe $5000 in benefits total. That is a lot money going to insurance companies. They get rich.
    A glitch in auto payment one time and I lost coverage without notice. If i had gotten injured during that time I would have been fucked. Seriously sick and i might end up selling off property to get treatment.

    Our system is barbaric, cruel and backwards.

    We can't afford not to stand up to the insurance lobby. Fuck those assholes. I don't like my insurance and never have because they solely exist to profit off of me by any means they can get away with no matter how cruel.

  16. Why is he prattling on about light bulbs?  And what light bulbs are we being "forced" to use?
    The man's brain is soup.
    Laura Ingraham slurped steak juice?
    His tanning bed is down?

    Led bulbs cost a few dollars, and due to past regulations almost as cheap as bulbs that use 5 times the energy and are available in the same color range as incandescent without the mercury or harsh light of florescent.

    But lets waste money and replace bulbs annually to own the libs.
