  1. I don't know how hard of work it was for him, but Trump showed up in the places he needed to to ramble on as he does, and Hilary didn't. I think that's the point. I agree Beto doesn't have much of a chance if history is any indication. But Abbott is Hilary in this simulation - complacent career politician candidate, with scandals and controversies (real this time), who doesn't get anyone excited. Complacent GOP voters expect him to win and don't show up to polls in same numbers as usual because what races in Texas matter anyway?
  2. That you think this is a serious problem and some kind of real targeted agenda by the gay/leftist elementary teachers of the world or even a common occurrence sis fucking idiocy. It's a made up problem to drum up voters to allow Desantis to implement replacement theory based legislation. Period.

    It’s also, ostensibly, the best MLS defense.

    Just locked in 2023 season tickets! Weren't great, but best available. Listos Verde!
  5. Liz Cheney this morning: “Donald Trump preys on people’s patriotism”. Translated: ”Stupid and racist people like Donald Trump.”
  6. After listening to Tim Miller's book, "Why We Did It" and what he said about Grahams blind hatred of Trump during the primaries, his bootlicking is even more weird and makes you wonder what Trump has. Or he's simply the opportunist shitbag most of these folks are.
  7. Actually, I think this one is.... (Edited: meaning who is pulling NSRC strings.)
  8. Beto needs to campaign some with Garza I think given how close Garza is to Paxton in polls and the fact they can harp on the fact that Paxton is under criminal investigation. Collier seems fine, but not sure how much he moves needle. You want people pulling the straight ballot lever this year, as much as it can fuck up local races, particularly judges. I'll take that hit this year to set a precedent at the statewide level. Is SoS not up for election this year? That troubles me as I imagine fuckery will be afoot if it's close.
  9. I presume only hosts “see” the rift at the dam if it works like last year. But someone coming out would need a body to step into so in presume that’s a one way door. So now it’s just Dolores running simulations. Unless this season is a simulation somehow the show can end, as far as I’m concerned.

    Next week would like to see us move Ring to CDM, get Corozo on field and get Perreira off. A lot of the breaks are on him not being a ball stopper in defensive midfield.

    I’ve never known a soccer team where they get down 2 goals and you are like “well, we will see where this goes”. It’s usually a death knell.

    Someone explain why all 5 subs aren’t used yet.

    Can we play eithe Gallagher or Kolmanic at RB? Serious question.

    Perreira, Lima, and Cascante need to sit a while. Move Ring back to 6 or play Valencia. Former seems better so we can add Rigoni. Our RB situation is bad because Jiminez isn’t much better.
  16. She’s a true Trump believer. Not an opportunist using Trump as a means to effect a cruel and shitty agenda like Stephen Miller, Blake Masters or Noem. She is much more like the old lady in Florida that says “Trump never lies!” This is fucking up her world view and the only answer is flailing rejection.
  17. Said differently -- please shut up or they are going to make us find out.
  18. There is nothing partisan when it comes to Trump. That the mainstream press danced around that for so long (and some still do) is partly why we are in this mess. He's a dumber, more famous Orban, or a pussier Mussolini. He's bad for the country, and those that defend him or charge those that criticize him with being partisan have bad takes and should feel bad, too.
  19. Those were the exact words that came to me when this came across the wire.....
  20. Yeah…. Wanted to go further with it but thought it was unsubtle enough.
  21. Beto is only person on Dem side that I’ve seen get a following that even approximates a mini Trump rally. While I wouldn’t condone the demagoguery (word?), I also don’t think he is going for that. In fact, there is an earnestness with him that is palpable (and unfortunately, can be used against him as naïveté). He has his flaws and I hope he continues to focus on serving Texas and puts national aspirations aside. But I am struck that there is something different about this campaign vs his prior campaigns and Wendy Davis’ run. There is enough, “I don’t give a shit” that could be weirdly effective. The debates will be interesting and he will need to do better than in 2018 and 2019. Abbott is a cruel fucking guy and a coward but he will come prepared. Beto has the ability to fucking kneecap him on stage and make Greg feel it, and he has to do it. There is nothing to lose. He either loses by 4-8 points and so it goes in Texas or he changes the national electoral landscape.
  22. It's genius, actually. "I refuse to debate my opponent that has challenged me to a debate because he refuses to debate me."
