  1. Well, it’s been pretty fucking good in this country for several decades for a large percentage of people and we’ve gotten unbelievably fat, dumb and lazy. That may change a lot sooner than any of us thought it would.
  2. Fuck them. Fuck them straight in the ass.
  3. No clue. It was a short conversation. I got the distinct impression that she is trying not to rock the boat and is trying to “follow orders” so to speak. Maybe the higher ups know they don’t have the tests and are keeping that info from the front line providers. Whatever it is she was mega frustrated. My daughter in law is a nurse at Dell Children’s and she said she was not surprised by what my client was telling me.
  4. Had a call with a client who owns a minor emergency clinic here in Midland. She is pissed at the county health people. Says she has three people who she suspects of having the virus, one she’s almost positive about, but they won’t let her test them. They tested negative for flu and then negative on other viruses but she can’t get permission to test for Covid. She says they have the capability - there are three labs in town that could run the test. She thinks they are trying to manipulate numbers to keep confirmed cases out of the news for some reason. I don’t know her politics but I suspect she and her husband are probably Trumpers like everyone else in this town so I found that interesting.

    As a former small bit player in the national intelligence apparatus (Air Force intel) and former Republican voter, I am beyond outraged at what these assholes are perpetrating on the country. What a sackless cunt Grenell is. Fucking nut up dude and do your duty as an American. Makes me sick.
  6. Well, considering the fact that the only people in my family who are Trumpkins are the over 70 y.o. set, if they start dying off Trump will definitely be losing support.
  7. Florida will not be kind to Bernie. That place is set up for Biden to dominate. I suspect he'll do very well in NY as well. I think this thing is way closer to over than the current delegate count suggests.
  8. Long lines in 90%+ Republican Midland. Several very competitive local races likely bringing out some extra folks.
  9. Well this lifelong Republican voter is going to happily vote for Bernie later today. That's one Texas vote for positive change.
  10. Flying in tomorrow morning. Hitting the Dynamo game in the afternoon before heading over to Minute Maid. May have a beer or two at some point.
  11. So fucking clever. Really really clever stuff.
  12. You are a fucking beatdown. Worse than the Bernie bros you love to ridicule. GTFO or get on board man. Bernie is way to my left but this is happening. Get with it or get with Trump dude.
  13. I know what I’m going to do. I love Liz, think she would be a great President but she’s not a great candidate. She’s been my #1 pick, but it ain’t happening. I’m jumping on the Bernie train. All aboard! Let’s kick Trumps ass!
  14. I live smack dab in the middle of the strawberry soup that is Midland, Texas. This town abso-fucking-lutely loves Donald Trump. I mean looooooves him. You should see the ads the guys running for the Repub congressional seat here are running. They might even make Trump blush, they're so obviously publicly fellating him.
  15. Yeah, this is my wife. Normally completely apolitical, but hates, despises, loathes, etc. everything about Trump. She is all in to beat him, but really knows almost nothing about his policies or about the policies of any of the Dems except in the most general sense. She's really enjoyed the Bloomberg ads and may end up voting for him. I'm trying to talk her out of it.

    Suspect you're correct which is why I'll be Ubering to/from the Domain or a nearby brewery rather than directly to the stadium, at least initially.

    Pretty awesome that it'll be Yeti. I'm tuning in to the presser at 10.
  18. So gross. And yet, his gross looks are actually the least gross thing about him.
  19. Saw Pat Green at Mile Zero Fest in Key West a few years back and then ran into him at a little bar near our Airbnb after the show. He was ordering a margarita and insisted on buying for our entire group. After all of the shit I've heard about him, I was fully expecting the show to suck, but he was great and we were all pleasantly surprised. Then, to meet him afterwards and for him to be totally cool was also a pleasant surprise. He was in a great mood, when we resisted having him pay for our drinks he said "shit man, if you knew how much they pay me for this you'd take the free drink. It's ridiculous!" Got a big laugh from everyone. He was very laid back, chatting with everyone. I became a fan after not really having liked him that much previously. Saw Lance Armstrong at the Marfa "Railroad Revival Tour" stop featuring Mumford & Sons, Edward Sharp & the Magnetic Zeros and Old Crow. Still probably the best concert experience of my life. Lance was hanging at the sound booth, but didn't talk to him. Saw Lars Ulrich of Metallica at the Radiohead show at ACL Fest in 2016. He was hanging in the VIP area by the sound booth with some hottie and we were right in front of that on the other side of the rail from him. We said hi and my buddy and his wife got a pic with him, but that was it.
  20. Just booked an Airbnb a block off of Canal for Thursday - Sunday of the LSU game weekend. Gonna be spending some time in this thread doing a little research. I've been to New Orleans a handful of times, and the food and drink choices are so good and numerous that is overwhelming. Fortunately, everything is so good that its hard to make a bad decision.
  21. If not already sold, I'm also interested in it.
  22. Rule of Law? What rule of law??? Fuck the ignorant shit that this country has become. A true banana republic.
  23. Odd. Every Canadian I've met hates the guy. In Ireland last year, I drank beer with a couple Canadians for a couple hours and we all agreed that Trump is disgusting and reflects horribly on the US. Every other person we talked to about Trump over there felt the same. England may be different.
