    So, I’m in Philly on business and just grabbed dinner at the bar of nice restaurant.  Next to me at a table were 4 older people (one older white guy, one black woman, one white woman and then a white woman that sounded like she was 80+ years old).  They discussed politics, very loudly, the entire time I was there.  All I heard was the immigrants are pouring into this country and causing problems, my health insurance is so high because of Obamacare and giving health insurance to all the poor people in this country and Kamala wants to tax our capital gains or something like that.  I hope they are not an example of older people in Philly.  I guess all of Trump’s propaganda is working on folks like this.   They did all seem to agree this country is terribly divided and they sounded worried about any way to fix the division.  That being said, if they vote for Trump then fuck them. 

    Did you ask them to go check the immigration status of everyone in the kitchen?

    If I were an AD I would demand a contractual clause that a coach engaging in public political discourse could be fired for cause.  What a dumbass.  I mean, it's Bruce Pearl, we already knew that, but still.

    Man, the polls have under counted Dems in almost every election since Dobbs and I'm still supposed to sit here and believe they will get it right this year?  Young voters, voters of color, young women, they keep under-polling them or can't reach them. 

    A whole lot of this. I don’t think the polls are accurately capturing the groundswell support from young voters particularly young women. Harris has tons of energy and charisma and doesn’t have the baggage, deserved or not, that Hilary did which is creating a lot more excitement. Combined with everyone knows at this point what you’re going to get with a second Trump term and you’ve got a lot of motivated younger voters. We just have to keep them engaged for the next couple of months and make sure they show up at the polls in November. I hope Dems make a huge early voting push to get those voters to vote when it’s convenient for them.

    I was at the range yesterday and saw two Trump hats.  I asked the woman at check in if I should wear my Harris/Walz t-shirt next time and she got a wicked smile then said "Hell yes.  It would be nice to see that for a change."

    I might just do that next time.

    You need to get yourself a Harris/Walz camo hat.

    Yep. I say it all the time. Right now it’s not just policy disagreements. The current maga gop has no character, morals or integrity. It’s a non-starter at this point.

    This. When I met and started dating my wife, I pretty consistently voted Republican (exception being I voted against Joe Arpaio in every election) and she was and still is a pretty hardcore Democrat (she grew up in Portland). At the time, she just rolled her eyes at my political leanings and pushed back when I would discuss politics. 

    While watching the DNC last week, I made a joke about her dating a Republican and could she imagine doing that now. We both laughed about it because the GQP has become something totally unrecognizable from what it once was and the people associated with that party stand for reprehensible positions. If either one of us was back in the dating pool at this point, being a Republican would be an instant dealbreaker. Back in my dating days, my 100% non-negotiable dealbreaker was being a smoker. Now, I would place being a Republican above that one.

    The stores are too crowded but with the 2 day free delivery you barely need to go to the store anymore, at least for essentials. I have no idea how they make money free shipping me 100 pounds of bottled water. 

    I think the prices online are higher than in store. At least that has been my experience on a few items that we have shipped to us due to hit or miss inventory in store.

    Anyone see Stapleton at Minute Maid Saturday night?

    I was there, my first time seeing him live.

    He didn't really do anything I can't hear on a record or on YouTube though, so I thought mildly unimpressed by what I saw.

    Now what I heard was different, his voice is still one of the best ever I've heard in this genre of music. 

    He rocked some riffs on his many different guitars and he could still belt out a slow sad song all by himself acoustically.

    Do I need to see him live again, probably not, but now I can say I saw him live.

    Wife and I were there. We both had a good time, but also had a similar takeaway as you. We’ve seen him at the rodeo before and we both remarked that we liked him better in that environment with a little more condensed setlist.

    ***UPDATE! First of all, I can’t thank you enough for the shares and messages...I have been sifting through them while Greg is in Austin with the police. We have been able to verify a few things. They were seen together Thursday night and we have managed to get a GPS on the KIA that is now in Colorado. Both phones seem to be there but both are turned off. License Plate VFS7528 White Kia Carnival. I have added a picture of what that looks like to this post. I have also been in contact with her ex-boyfriend’s father and he is being helpful and we are working together to keep each other in the loop. Please continue to pray for the safe return. Thank you all so much again.

     

    The car and both cell phones are both in Colorado and Greg is in Austin?

    She’s not being framed as a change candidate but someone who can move us past the maga era. That’s was said expressly in the clips he showed! I swear I just can’t take this dishonest shit anymore from all sides. She’s not saying change from Obama or Biden’s policies you stupid fuck!

    This. In addition, a big part of the change is moving past having octogenarian white dudes be our leader.

    Yeah who knows.  Double whammy for R’s fighting their own apathy alongside huge boost from the D’s. 
     

    There was a time your posts were at least funny, iirc.  Put in a modicum of effort for the rest of the boards sake anyhow. 

    Struck a nerve I see. Good.

    Not sure.  Every trumper I know understands that race is over, and not much reason to show up.  All it takes is a reminder that they could lose the state as well, and they’ll reluctantly get up off the couch. 

    So everyone you know? I’m guessing the Venn diagram of Trumpers and your acquaintances is a perfect circle.

    Definitely a bad pump issue. Draining this thing is impossible without total chaos or ingenuity. Good thing I am an agent of chaos and ingenuity.
    Solution, pinch the drain pipe between two 1x's and a clamp, then stick it into a shop vac. Have plenty of towels. There will still be leaks.  Worked like a champ. Waiting for the pump delivery from Amazon. 
    I really can't spend more money this month after paying for 2 kids select baseball, yearly home and auto insurance and a 20x20 concrete pad and metal cover at the ranch. I am not 1%. Thank God I can fix this for 50 bucks. 

    If it's an Amazon part, you will be doing it again in a matter of months. Got burned so many times by fake parts from them on cars, dishwasher and even stove late last year.

    Very much this. Amazon has become a cesspool of counterfeit shit over the last few years.
