  1. Any conservatives that think this is good are dumb as shit and need to be punished to the full extent of the law.
  2. I think they make those for South Austin's mom...
  3. So...adding punitive tax rates directly on a small group of people isn't intended to do that? smdh...
  4. Well...using the standard dictionary definition...they ARE persecuted... https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/persecute And right on this thread they're being shamed and denigrated... So....perhaps revise your interpretation...
  5. Umm...I've had to explain the meaning to numerous posters in here. And...the example I gave was to illustrate the point of what I posted. JFC...y'all give me tired head.
  6. Mildly poor interpretation, but it's still closer than wildcats... And I'm a TWOhundredaire, thank you.
  7. Just because advanced reading comprehension is beyond your grasp does not mean that I did what you're claiming. But, if I can find 5 Jewish people in Corpus, I'll ask them. I think my odds will be low, though. Most people here are Catholic.
  8. I didn't. I'm sorry you're too slow to understand that.
  9. I don't care who did it, I think the NIL will affect college football in a negative way that most fans won't like.
  10. I don't think so... But, if it's something you think should happen, then I have no problem with you advocating for that position and working to enact policy that does that.
  11. Seriously? Sigh....your post asked him why he cared since it wouldn't personally affect him. If someone thinks that doing X (in this case "jacking up the highest tax rate") is a bad thing to do for the country and economy, even though it might not personally affect them immediately, then they should disagree with and work to prevent X, otherwise they are abdicating their person responsibility. The whole point of Niemoller was to advise future generations to NOT do what he did... Why is this such a difficult concept???
  12. Fair enough...And I will agree with you on his posts. He IS smart...that's obvious. FWIW, his use of the quote was a HUGE graphic... As to "First they came..." I think it's a powerful way to show how you should alway do what's right, even if you don't really gain anything personal from it, because not doing what's right can potentially have really bad results. That's how I've taken the message of it...to me it extends far further than just the immediate issue it was referring to... BTW...thanks for keeping the discussion civil. I appreciate that.
  13. Because the message in the poem wasn't just about what Niemoller didn't do in the lead up to WWII. It's about not abdicating personal responsibility solely because the effects of an act won't have immediate personal repercussions.
  14. Just east of Weatherford on Ft Worth Hwy.
  15. Well, from what I understand, SCOTUS Justices are not bound by the code of judicial ethics. That's for all the lower courts. HOWEVER...when they are going through confirmation hearings, they aren't SCOTUS justices, they're lower court judges. So, when they are asked that question, they ARE bound by the code of judicial ethics. 😉

  18. JFC you're fucking slow. I never said he was talking about taxes. God damn. You need to work on your reading comprehension (and maybe even read my later post to jimmyjazz).
  19. Brisketexan used the exact same quote on a reply to me on the Supremes thread and you didn't seem to mind it there...and you posted very shortly after he posted it so I'm pretty sure you saw it... Odd that you took umbrage only with me...
  20. So, you don't get Niemoller's point, either? And how it applies to the post I replied to? JFC... His point was that you should always stand up for the things that you believe in, even if the situation doesn't affect you. Because at some point in time, it may affect YOU...and no one will be there for YOU. But, more than that, do it because it's the right thing to do. Heck...just looking at taxes, when the income tax was originally passed, it was only 1% on incomes over $3K/year (very few people at that time) and 6% on people making over $500k (just a few rich people). Looks like it's creeped to include a whole lot more people over time... But, more than that, if you disagree with the idea in general, then you should care even IF it doesn't affect you.
  21. STFU... The quote means so much more than that. I'm not surprised you don't know that, though...
  22. The new NY Pizza on NPI is pretty solid. It's pricey though (I did get the 18" though). I got the Brooklyn Bomber and that thing was HEAVY with ingredients. And GOOD.
  23. I've been drinking too so.......... I hope my position was quite obvious in my post... Slavery WAS sanctioned by some of the states...but not all. The southern states supported it...partly because of racism and partly because of economics. Feel free to assign the the percentages to which one was the most important at the time. I won't. Hope that helps.
  24. Article I Section 9 says hi.
