  1. I love this foreign concept to the Fox News crowd that people voting is a bad thing. Republican leaning voters will also sign up to use mail-ins, take part in early voting, register the day of (how much of that even happens), and use online options to register to vote. Yeah, it's only libtards who do any of these things. Oh hey look, Trumps just petitioned for a mail-in ballot in Florida. But still, that's bad for others. 
    I actually think this would benefit a populist version of the GOP and especially 2020 Trump. It's been well documented that he picked up a lot of first time voters that know nothing of the process. Completely ancedotely, but when I monitored my local polling place just about every person that tried to vote without ever having registered, was there to vote for Trump. One yelled "Trump Train" , another "Trump 2020"on the way out expecting some WWE send off.

    We really need a strong messaging/psa campaign in addition to this bill. Tons of kids registered at thier college in another county didnt realize you can't just vote anywhere. Plenty of adults too.
  2. If any of you fuckers are coming to ski this weekend, you timed it right.  Could be dicey getting to the resorts, though.  Denver could get 1-3 feet of snow out of this storm.  Snow starts  on Friday.
    Arriving in Wolf Creek on Sunday. Stoked
  3. OK, so 2000 confrontations, but how many arrests? I know they have security, but I said “armed” security. I’m guessing most HEB’s don’t have that and until you put some teeth behind the policy, a bunch of baggers and checkout clerks yelling at anti-maskers isn’t going to do shit. I’ve routinely watched HEB employees turn a blind eye to plenty of maskless people they could’ve confronted. 
    All the Hebs I've been to in Houston have off duty cops. East Austin the same. Even the Far West location has APD by the exit which I always found odd.

  4. It is never too late to make a complaint. You need a trail of ignored complaints for some future fucked over peep to have a puncher’s chance at Monell liability.

    Always make a complaint. Not for you. For all of us.
    The thought of doing that terrifies me. Granted I grew up in Houston with early 90s HPD, but still.

  5. Repair? Improve? Help them to evolve in a positive direction?
    Semantics.
    After Obama won re-election in 2012, Bobby Jindal (of all people) called the GOP “The Party of Stupid,” a term I’d never heard before. Did he coin the phrase? I don’t know. But he warned that they needed to reconsider their ideology to appeal to a more diverse electorate if they were going to survive. Instead they won the Presidency in 2016 with Trump going full racist and that warning was laid to rest. If Hillary had won then I think that warning would’ve been heard and positive changes would’ve been made in GOP ideology.
    Also, tens of thousands of dead Americans would still be alive. Maybe hundreds of thousands. 
    After 3 years of Hillary in office do you think the 45% pro Trump portion of the country would follow her derectives and wear masks and social distance with the grievance hate machine going 24/7?
    Or would they host infection freedom parties and burn mask and lynch Hillary manequins?
  6. carpet bagging fuck stain . . . Texas Republican party to a tee.
    go back to Florida Allen West
    go back to Canada (or Cancun) Ted Cruz
    go back to Maryland Danny Patrick (Goeb)
    go back to Virgina Ken Paxton (and stop fucking every member of Donna Campbell's staff, you horny cross-eyed little fucker)
    The Texas I grew up in was a good place before you culture war cocksuckers showed up.   Please leave.
    You should go take Texas history on the 40.
    Rough times for sure
    But...
  7. Yeah, that's where it's at, clouds of incense. 
    Big disappointment that protestant churches interpret "frankincense and myrrh" as "drop ceilings and fluorescent lights."
    As a recovering Catholic I always enjoyed my dad's alter boy stories about spinning the incense overhead in a 360 pretty funny.

    The probable molestation stories - less so.
  8. It's a running joke on here, but [mention=115]Johnny Sack[/mention] isnt wrong when he says:
    1) make it thru high school
    2) dont get pregnant before 21
    3) dont use drugs
    3b) dont abuse alcohol
    And you will not be living in the gutter.  You wont be in the pen.  You wont be one of the statistics.  You might not get fucked by Bidens tax plan, but you wont be eating shit of a dumpster and sucking dick to get a fix.  It's really that simple. 
    Sure, but people have fucked upped back stories, shitty support systems and mental illness.

    I make ends well enough, not 1% or even close: most of the successful people I know breezed through several of those Sack items by being Middle class or better and having connections. Myself included and I grew up lower middle class with solid parents. I was lucky as fuck. Dealt with Drugs, booze, abortion whether I wanted to or not. All around me.

    All of it went much easier if you're affluent white. In my experience.

  9. Hillary Clinton winning in 2016 would’ve been the best thing that could’ve happened in order to fix the GOP. 
    Fix?

    Pretty linear trajectory over the last 40 years.
    Maybe you meant "kicked the can down the road"?

    "Fixed? Haha fixed, we got em working in shifts. Fixed! " Smh

  10. I watched a doc on PR’s drug issues last night.  What an epic welfare state we are about to adopt so one party can control everything indefinitely.  Will immediately make Mississippi look cosmopolitan. 
    I need to watch that and I know dick about the issue.

    However we are way over due to own our colonial to 1980s fuckery in this hemisphere and maybe atone for our sins. It would be be money well spent and in our selfesh best interest. But we are too stupid and divided for that sort of thing at this point as a second world country rounding third it's not happening. Maybe back in the 50s.


    I do know we had our way with PR and bombed the fuck out of paradise.

    Beach areas tend to have druggies and drunks. If your last name is Buffett you can make coin singing about it. But the reality is a bit sadder every where dowm there, again I don't know PR specifically, but post colonial poverty sucks the world round and a pints a pound.
  11. First Pfizer dose at NRG. Efficient and smooth. Arrived early. Girlfriend had appt two hours later and it wasn't an issue. Both first dose

    Enjoyed some of the National Guard playing some music and trying to keep it light. Car full of nuns next to us "dancing" to some latin jam.

    Some local business should send the guard some decent chow or treats or something. A few of em were feeling the grind, but friendly.

    I miss Astroworld of the 80s

  12. Why are they expanding capacity for illegal unaccompanied minors if not for increased volumes?
    Maybe to give them space in the interim with Covid and because anyone with a brain can predict an increase of migration regardless of ghoulish policy at our border for the forseeble future as climate change and political forces keep lower lattitudes all fucked up.

    We could invest in Latin Amseica, atone our sins and stabalize our henuaphere. Fuck China and others are clawing Africa out of the post colonial clusterfuck and the next few decades look promising.

    Naw GOP will cage kids, and lower taxes on the wealthy and do nothing we else.

  13. I work in San Antonio. I said I’m from close to the border. I have friends and family there. More houses out in the country broken into, more game cameras catching people going by. Oh, and the government having to expand facilities for illegals would suggest to me that the numbers are up, but I’m just a simple man.
    Dipshit. 
    Ah yes personal anecdotes from a Conservative presented as evidence or proof of nation wide changes.

  14. One of the HEB bigwigs gave an interview where he said they had over 2,000 confrontations over masks that they've documented in Texas.
    With Abbott lifting the mask mandate, one of these dipshits is going to gun down an HEB employee over this.
     
    Heb is an extremely well run company that does a lot of good for the State, but they always profit off thier benevolence. They haven't exactly stood by thier employees with increased wages and hazard pay. I know Hebs in Houston and parts of Austin already have armed guards or cops. Have them deal with the nutters. Putting your employees in harm's way to appease some bullying man child maggots its bullshit. It's just like all the accomodation of Trump and his ilk. Fuck the assholes. Stop protecting thier feelings and start tasing or arresting them or fucking shooting them.

  15. This wouldn’t be nearly as bad if it didn’t fucking work. But it does. People actually believe this shit. 
     
    I wish we could just brush him off as an asshole, but he’s actually dangerous. They learned from the master. Lie you’re ass off all the time about everything and millions will believe it. Millions. 
    I don't think it works with very many people. All my conservative relatives roll thier eyes at this shit. Some even hope he no longer has a seat in government. But come election day they will pull the lever for a pile of dog shit as long as it's R. It's some gut level feeling with no cognitive basis other than govt bad, guns, no bortion. It's bizzarre to see in action.

  16. YES! Fountain Dude said that was the origin of the pseudo-nautical theme with the fake dock. Also that they used to sell food out of what was now the men's room. I imagine it had even more germs when it was the kitchen.
    Be a hero and shit on the ceiling!

  17. The roll out is bad. That the companies dolling out the vaccine are making up their own rules is absurd. Kroger basically said fuck the CDC, we are only handing it out to health care and nursing home workers and olds. MD Anderson said it was only for cancer patients. Memorial Hermann hospitals basically said “only previous patients here matter”.

    Houston’s website waitlist has been modded to say “don’t rely on us.”

    Sam’s/Walmart doesn’t even have an option to cancel an appointment after you make one.

    This is pathetic. The blame here is all political. They fumble fucked this.
    Who is "they" ? Listen Jack we don't have a robust national healthcare system. The Biden administration has done the best they can at ramping up production. The vaccine is distributed to the states, who dictate where it goes and to whom.
    What your seeing is the result of a patchwork local and private system of healthcare to combat a pandemic with predictable results. Add in our dumb politics and it gets worse. It's unsurprising Amarrillo has excessive vaccine and teachers in Austin wait.

  18. Lots of people die from the flu. 4,000 kids a year die of strep throat. I didn’t say what you are responding to- read that again. My response was a hypothetical to his hypothetical which was presupposing that spread of Covid after immunizations roll out would totally decouple from hospitalizations and deaths (aka our worst possible outcomes). Shit dude, before telling me to fuck off feel free to read what I said. 
    Alright my bad boo. I'm a little agro today.
