  1. I understand where you’re coming from. I do. But what’s the problem you want to solve? Outcomes? Certain policy being enacted? MAGA not in power? Trump not in power? Each one shapes whether your solution of changing positions in the Democratic Party solves anything. What needs to be dropped? Would dropping said policies degrade the already fragile coalition? Whats funny to me is that republicans have done nothing to change policies other than to make them crueler and to bully our allies more. Is that something the dems should adopt? Fundamentally the Republicans are selling simple answers to complex problems. They are the get rich quick scheme as opposed to hard work and compound interest. America is an addict that has been given so many chances that you have to step back and let it hit rock bottom and pray it can survive it so that it will get the help it needs.
  2. Have fun with those Canadian taxes there Bregs.
  3. what you cutting? 1.8 / 6.75 =0.267 -> 26.7% of the total spending is deficit spending. so if we cut all Welfare, Veterans benefits, education expenses, environmental / resource expenses, transportation spending and all other shit they’re calling ‘other’ we don’t even break even because that adds up to 24% of 6.75 trillion or 1.62 Trillion bucks. Still need to find 180 billion in the cushions for a balanced budget.
  4. How can we be 100% certain this trans person posting isn’t the pilot who died in the plane crash. Tell me that sir….
  5. I remember when Elon was more celebrated on the left bc of his electrical car company and talk about climate change. He then added a rocket company and a tunneling / boring company…. And ppl joked that he was getting to look more and more like a Bond villain. But it was jest. Then he bought twitter, became the presidential puppet master, has an office in the west wing, his tentacles in the US government, and will now have control over the check book?! This shit would actually be TOO much for a Bond villain. That script would be rejected
  6. Reason?
  7. Ain’t no way that this is a first offense, That dude has probably got a wrap sheet a mile long of diddles, embezzling, and racist shit that goes back decades.
  8. Bro. Please don’t ever visit San Antonio or south Texas.
  9. Paxton can get fucked. Costco is one of the few stores that I frequent that has serious talent in their workforce. Northside SA locations have some latinas working there with nice balconies and a caboose to match. That lazy eye twat rocket better not mess with one of the last simple pleasures I get on my busy ass weekends.
  10. Looks like she has it covered, no?
  11. Credit to our AI overlords: [Verse 1] Well, I had me a pickup, ’76 and rusted down Ain’t much to look at, but it never let me down Windows rolled open, radio up high Triumph in the speakers, man, I felt alive [Pre-Chorus] Oh, them days were easy, them nights were long Gas was cheap, and the world felt strong Ain’t no worries, ain’t no chains Just a long stretch of highway callin’ my name [Chorus] Ohhh, take me back to them shart-free days Where the wind blew wild and the guitars played That Hilux might be gone, but the feelin’ remains Man, I’d give anything to ride again [Verse 2] That truck took a beatin’, but it never broke down Hell, it outlived my first love and half this old town Mullet in the breeze, let the good times roll Feelin’ like a legend with a rock ‘n’ roll soul [Pre-Chorus] Oh, them days were easy, them nights were long Gas was cheap, and the world felt strong Ain’t no worries, ain’t no chains Just a long stretch of highway callin’ my name [Chorus] Ohhh, take me back to them shart-free days Where the wind blew wild and the guitars played That Hilux might be gone, but the feelin’ remains Man, I’d give anything to ride again [Bridge] (Slow, bluesy, with that Skynyrd swagger) Well, I still hear the engine hummin’ in my dreams Still feel that southern sun, still taste that gasoline Ain’t about the truck, no, it’s about the life Back when the road was open and the time felt right [Outro] (Big, grand, Free Bird-style solo kicks in) So if you see me driftin’ down that lost highway Know I’m chasin’ down them yesterday days That Hilux might be gone, but the feelin’ remains And I’d give anything to ride again… (Cue triple-guitar harmonies, let that solo wail into the night…)
  12. Anecdotal. But FIL has a plumbing company. Unmarked SUV’s showing up in residential developments in San Antonio. That is all. Criminals only? Hardly,
  13. This is the kind of off season baseball shit I love. No other sport can match baseball’s ability to mimic me in the kitchen: adding ingredients and hoping the recipe works. And this chili definitely needs more cumin.
  14. MAGA:
  15. I feel like anything they will try to pay for will either go to their rich donors or religious organizations anyway with this group. Best let them horde the $ now and pray for more reasonable politicians in the future.
  16. A lot safer work than defending elementary schools that’s for sure.
  17. Shouldn’t the cap be tied to our overall budget? (Maybe it is, IDK to be totally honest) But once you’ve got say 1/2 of the states project two year budget (so essentially the amount to cover 1 whole year’s budget), you have to do 2 things: 1.) 2/3 Use it for education 2.) 1/3 Put it in the water infrastructure fund Any interest earned off of the rainy day fund over that amount must be used for: 3.) Property tax relief or a refund to every citizen. Edit- I googled it and the rainy day fund is capped at 10% of the last biannual budget. So I still think my plan is workable no?
  18. Does it have anything to do with Jazz cigarettes
  19. You mean to tell me that Coke has been lying to us all these years?!
  20. Theres nothing soft about the any bigotry displayed by this administration
  21. We’re not getting out if this hell so easy
  22. What does she look like? I mean, if your marriage is annulled your surly brethren will be here to console her. We just need to know what she looks like …… to you know…. Be able to pick her out of a crowd.
  23. We also need another left handed hitter. Signing Bergman to a 6 year deal when he’s already had dropping production and a shoulder injury is not the answer.
