  1. As it should be.  Disabling sorting machines and quashing overtime rules...and being fucking stupid enough to tell everyone that that's what you're doing...plainly looks like you're trying to sandbag the election.  They KNEW they'd have a crush of business, and DeJoy basically made them do it with one hand tied behind their backs.  

    I'm not sure what the charge would be for fucking with the election like this, but DeJoy, who instigated all the changes, should go to jail for it.  Fuck that guy.

    Mustard MF’s

    I remember when I was a kid, my parents used to specifically order a Mustard Whopper.  So apparently that was once a thing.

    So you are one of those assholes responsible for stores putting out Christmas decorations BEFORE Halloween?

    Fuck no, but I'll save 50% on anything whenever it's offered

  4. I hope that the ban on Christmas won't preclude us from putting up our tree.  I'll freely admit I'm a sap for the Christmas season and ventured out with the wife this weekend to Hobby Lobby, where I proceeded to buy $15 worth of new ornaments.  And if you know anything about the pricing structure at Hobby Lobby, you know that's a fuck ton of ornaments.

    Interestingly enough, my old man was a lifelong republican who soured on the party during George W's reign. He thought W was a complete fucking moron and  could not  stand that stupid sob, used to rant about him and what the republican party had become constantly in his last few months. He passed away on hospice care at home the evening of Nov 4 which was election night for Obama's 1st term. He went downhill fast in the last 48 hours, so he wasnt "with us" but he passed away with the TV on in the background, its like he just wanted to see Obama make it.

    It was surreal sitting there with my immediate family around my dad watching the election results come in as he passed away. Will be hard to forget that evening.  Looking back on it, if he thought W was a fucking dipshit, the entire concept of Trump would have probably killed him months earlier from an aneurysm.

    My dad's been fighting cancer for the last 5 years, and he's doing OK.  Still, fewer days ahead than behind him.  My step-mom loves him and is taking wonderful care of him.  They live on a dead-end street on the Guadalupe, just outside of New Braunfels, and I enjoy going up there and tending to the things that they need...mowing, cleaning the gutters, etc.  However, the political climate and the way that she's treated her own flesh and blood worries me.  How much more can I say before I end up just like her?  I don't worry for my dad.  I worry about where I might end up in the family pecking order if she has any kind of say-so.

    He's probably just busy writing you out of his will. He'll respond when he gets through with the important stuff. 

     

    You'd be surprised how accurate that might be.  My step-mother has a sister that she no longer speaks to because (D)...which I have told them is about the most ridiculous shit I've ever seen.

  7. All my trumpkin friends on social media are interestingly quiet today.  Even my parents.  Last night, after that shit show was over with, I texted my dad, who sent me a message earlier in the day saying "Don't forget about the debate tonight."  Since the whole thing was a disaster, I decided not to lean in to it too heavily and sent, "It's amazing to me that, out of 331 million people in the US, that these are our choices for the highest office in the land and the most powerful position on the planet.  Unreal."

    And I got no message back.  Hopefully, even he realizes what a monkey fuck that whole thing was.

    NBC News: According to police records, Parscale had 10 guns confiscated from his residence, including several rifles. Police described Parscale as being under the influence of alcohol.

    Police say they observed bruising on Parscale's wife, Candace, and she stated he has hit her.

    Seems that Parscale owes being alive today to the fact that he's not black.

  9. So, my Fox News addled father-in-law was carping in general Saturday about some Senate republicans not doing well in their respective races, and then, for whatever reason, turned his focus to the race in Arizona between Kelley and McSally.  He ranted in general about it for about 5 minutes and then said, "The only reason Scott Kelley is doing well in that race is because he had the good fortune of his wife getting shot in the head".

    We left their house, and I told my wife we won't be going back for some time.

    not sure where this belongs, but watching the trailer for this new doc just reminded me of how divisive the guy in the tan suit was...

     

    Is this in theaters?  Streaming?  How would one go about seeing it?

    Whatever, Reagan. 

    I finally had my coming to Jesus moment the other night.  I realized why I loved seeing the Grateful Dead live (24 shows if you include their other incarnations like The Other Ones, Furthur, and Dead & Co.), but don't really have all that much fun listening to them live at home.  I mean, I have about 2 or 3 versions of each of my 40 or 50 favorite songs carefully cultivated from their 50+ years of playing those songs.  But I can't just sit and listen to a 4 hour show, save for maybe 2-3x year on vinyl.  It's because I don't do drugs.  You can't sit and drink through a Dead show for 4 hours these days.  It's really, really hard.  When I was there live, a few drinks and a toke off a joint that was getting passed down the row.  That was all I needed.  There just aren't enough drugs for me to sit and listen to a 4 hour/2-set show at home.  

    I really, really wish there were though...

    Unpopular music opinion......every year I try to give Aerosmith a chance because in my old age, I appreciate longevity.  They are fucking horrible and you're a fucking child if you still like them.  They have almost zero redeeming qualities.  

    Aerosmith owes their career to heroin.  They've been shit since they've all been clean.

    Meanwhile, over at TexAgs.

     

     

    In fairness, the sources in this article need to go on the record.  It won't change any minds and will be just a fart in the wind until they do.  

    Though some people, like the one you posted, are beyond help.

    If Joe wanted to be a shithead, he would remind people during a debate the Dow Jones is only a measure of 30 US companies, and remind everyone they walk past 30 companies every time they pick up a sandwich for their lunch break.

    something along the lines, enough truth to be a meme

    Except right now, it's about 6 companies.  Tech companies mainly, and we all know how much Don likes to fuck with them.  So yes, above 29,000...until the dipshit in chief starts one of his hissy fits and bad mouths them, their stock prices crater and the market loses 15%.
