    I didn’t read it as an excuse, more of an observation. It’s ridiculous, but if they don’t expose themselves to the real world, stupid and gullible may be more apt. 

    That’s giving people way too much credit. We’re a decade in on this movement at this point. If you’re still on board, you’re a racist. Stupid and gullible, too? Sure, but let’s not allow people to make excuses for what their beliefs stand for.

    I tend to agree, but I think some of them don't even understand that blatantly racist things are happening.  As insane as that sounds, someone who comes home and watches Fox News exclusively isn't seeing the same world that we're seeing.

    I'm not trying to make excuses for these folks, mind you.  I just think it's an oversimplification to believe that all Trumpkins are stupid or racist.  Most of them are.  But not all.  Some are just gullible, and the difference between gullible and stupid might be subtle, but it's probably important.

    Not trying to make excuses for these folks and then proceeds to make excuses for these folks.

    The most amusing thing about this thread are all the comments singling out Mormonism as a cult, because somehow their version of  their sky fairy is weirder than all the other sky fairies out there.

    Children's Miracle Network? Is that something Johnny started so that he can bamboozle people out of money?

    Nope. It’s actually a pretty swell organization that supports children’s hospitals. In Austin, Dell Children’s is a CMN hospital.

    ICE is a military force. And by budget size, it’s something like the 5th largest in the world.
    It’s insane. We are a militarized police state, geared entirely at xenophobia.

    A nation of immigrants scared of immigrants.

    If we were worried about the national debt, we could solve it on the spending side.

    Nobody wants to.

    The notion of selling land to remedy the debt is like the degenerate gambler who puts the rent money on black.  Actually, the gambler has a MUCH better shot at achieving a win.  The debt has ZERO weight in the discussion, IMHO.  It's lip service.

    Both sides!

    If you are in Houston over at the Marriott Marquise you can bid on his jersey

    Who is going to email Jerry Sanchez and let him know he won the auction for $11,450? Make sure to thank him profusely for his generous contribution to the Children’s Miracle Network. There will be some tense moments at the Marquis this morning when he wakes up to this.

    Anyway, I enjoyed AJ Vallejo's set with his latest band Brodie Lane.  The medley with Timbuk3 and the Doors was cool, and when they closed with Styx, I was totally in.

    Overall my first experience with this series at this venue and I liked it.  I'm trying to convince my daughter to go to UT and we'd spent the morning doing the Texas Preview tour and information sessions, and then had lunch at The Posse, and ended the day with the live concert on the grounds at the Bullock.  She had a great time and I made some progress pushing Texas as a great college choice... :)

     

    Love how you gave your daughter the middle aged dude reliving his time in Austin experience. Too bad you couldn’t hit up Mad Dog & Beans and Texas Showdown.

    Musk's lack of common sense is on full display here - he really did think that $250 million+ could protect his business interests.

    He got so fucking played by the GOP. And Trump openly threatened him not to try and replace any Republican legislators that vote for the stuff that might harm Musk's business interests.

    He wasted all of that money getting people elected who are going to fuck him over.

    Not to mention completely alienating the largest demographic for his vehicles, solar panels and batteries while doing it.

    Just got a summons for federal jury duty (Houston).

    Any advice? Bring lunch? Just park in one of the local garages? Are jeans ok?

     

    Can’t speak to federal, but I recently did district court and wore jeans, button down and blazer and was overdressed compared to my peers.
