  1. I can place every divot in my shins from a trailer hitch.
  2. I only played Streets of rage,golden axe, and Aladdin so I’ll just use the other $8 to find a movie that I feel as if has boobs in it but has a cover that is innocuous enough my mom will allow me to rent it.
  3. Shooting masked federal employee trying to abduct you is a MAGA wet dream. I’m sure they’ll be totally ok with it when ICE agents get it wrong again and try to kidnap a legal, albeit brown, citizen packing heat.
  4. Is it because he dies?
  5. It’s actually sadder than this. He’s just a coward. No $ needed. Hes just a coward.
  6. What an amazing walk off….
  7. Kind of wished that fc up the middle was a batter sooner
  8. Button your shirt dumbass
  9. Or do what they did with Lee high school in San Antonio: Legacy of Educational Excellence (LEE) High School
  10. I’d support ‘kill all the billionaires and let god sort them out’ if I thought it would play…,, But do we really think eat the rich works when the rich control the means of distribution when it comes to news, attention, and influence?
  11. All people that are regular. As in people aren’t billionaires, pay a mortgage or rent, have kids in school, etc. Talk to people about what they are experiencing…. Not who they are. Maybe I’m not being clear in my message but that’s what I feel is a better strategy. But maybe that’s part of being white? Thinking that you can decouple identity from experiences…. I recognize this could be a blind spot. 🤷🏼‍♂️
  12. Really? Idk man. Pretty sure the last election was heavily focused to GOTV for white women, college educated, and elitist republicans offended by MAGA. Regular folks were told that they needed to care about democracy and that the economy was amazing. Inflation was treated like the man behind the curtain who the great Oz told us not to pay attention to. 2020 was a race to the wokest until Clyborn (spelling?) decided that he wasn’t playing that and told everyone that Biden was the nominee. 2008,2012, and 2016 all leaned heavily on identity politics. So when you say that democrats have been messaging towards ‘regular folks’ I just don’t see it. Its always with a qualifier. Single moms, black families, college educated voters, working class, young women, etc. The message needs to be broader. Because if everyone can see themselves in it, then you win. I can’t actually tell you what Texas democrats believe in.

    Getting old sucks

    Damn. But feel you. Went skiing during spring break in Utah. Not even the highest mountain I’ve skied. But dammit if I didn’t get a really bad case of altitude sickness. About as bad as I’ve had on a mountain. I’ve always been susceptible and I even gave it a day before I went to the mountain but literally the second lift we take up (on the mountain for roughly 15 minutes) I get crazy nauseous. I puke off the lift…. Probably something like 5 really good projecting times or so with a subsequent 3-5 unsatisfactory dry heaves. didn’t last more than 2 easy blue runs before I had to call it quits because I became seriously light headed and almost passed out.
  14. Everyone knows the crazy shit goes down at the Waco Twin Peaks bro.
  15. Better looking Democratic JD Vance has some good points. But no one wants to be lumped into ‘working class people’. Everyone thinks of themselves as able to become rich if they only had a fair shake. So don’t shit on their dreams. We need to be the party of ‘regular people’ and ‘regular Texans’. Regular people become extraordinary all the time in literature. Play to that. Play to people’s hopes and ego. Stop saying we’re the Democratic Party. We’re Texas Democrats. We stand for regular Texans who are a different breed. Regular Texans who want strong schools not selfish ‘school choice’. Regular people don’t have a billion dollars to buy politicians. Regular people want mothers, sisters, and daughters to have healthcare. Regular people think that kids shouldn’t go hungry or without healthcare either Church that shit up with Jesus and the like if you want. Stop with identity politics and appeal to the ‘regular folks’.
  16. This. The man left office with the worst economic record in a century, attempted a coup, and led a violent insurrection…. And was elected back to the same office. He was widely seen as the more trust worth candidate who was better for the economy. The American people are dumb, distracted, and desperate.
  17. All those GenZ men just starting out who ‘couldn’t’ Get a job or a girl friend and thought Trump was the answer….. Try getting either one of those in a recession. Great job guys. Signed- Someone old enough to have been an adult during multiple recessions and who had real life shit at stake / lost their job during Covid. PS:
