No doubt it started with Reagan. To be honest, way back then PERHAPS giving the wealthy tax cuts could have spurred employment. Only because the lack of money mobility back in 1980 for the average rich guy/company. The math, says it was a mistake. Simply as the revenue generated from the cuts never paid for them. That's actually not conservative for those that remember fiscal conservatism. Today tax cuts for the rich are nothing more than reallocation of wealth to donors. Today even a little guy can put all their money over seas, so tax cuts don't do much for the US economy unless you are giving the money to poor people. Simply as they have no portability to where they can spend their money and it has to spent locally, and the money multiplier effect (economics) would be more substantial. Tax cuts are spending. Or more appropriately "income reduction" to pay the deficit. Spending and tax cuts have the same effect. But I'd rather have some roads and infrastructure, and maybe funding for education. Thinking it just might... might boost revenue by creating more than another couple millions over time to somebody mostly investing offshore to shield their tax liability. But hey what the fuck do I know...

man no traction for this at all? Sad that the GOP has one playbook. Explode deficits through tax cuts for the rich. Shift the burden onto the middle class for the tax cuts, WITH INTEREST. Then decry the lack of accountability for reducing the deficit ONLY when Democrats are President to..... wait for it... hurt the American economy to try and hurt the Democratic President. All the while wearing little American Flag pins denoting their amazing pretend patriotism...

Bijan's Boudin? We all know it would have dominated the Louisiana Boudin industry! -
See ya then! Was looking at the surf on a cam this morning and water is clear to the beach. Been cloudy even with the wind has laid down since about mid-June. Too bad I am hosting a party this weekend, or I would have gone down yesterday. IF the water stays clear I may have to see if I can roll down Monday or Tuesday for a day or two. 🙏

you know, there are some fancy hot dogs out there Crawfish sausage, Crawfish Etouffee, Sour cream, Onions, Tomatoes, & Creole Mustard. Sea Dog - Beer-Battered Cod Fish, Onions, Tomatoes, Homemade Tartar Sauce, & Yellow Mustard. Bacon Werewolf - Smoked Bratwurst, Bacon, Sauerkraut, Dill Relish, Grilled Onions, Tomatoes, & Creole Mustard. Delicious! images from Dat Dog in new Orleans Just a brat with spicy mustard, and Sauerkraut and mustard. Figured I would talk about something I actually know! All these were delicious and talented hot dogs! 😉 -
Will if any of you are watching a nice fat decline in your stock holdings and 401K today, send a thank you note to your republican representative in the House. Just like in 2011 when the GOP decided it might be fun to toy with the full faith and credit of the US dollar, and fitch downgraded, they have done it again. Of course when you take a 45 day recess, and kick every fucking problem down the road (except for the national crisis of Hunter Biden) this is the sort of shit that happens. Which is why the childishness of the GOP is dangerous. They create problems instead of solutions. Maybe if one fucking time in the history of the Universe the GOP gave a fuck about debt any time other than when there is a Democratic President in power I would believe differently. But this downgrade is nearly entirely the fault of our Republican friends. Anyhow... Thanks GOP!

So how will Trump be viewed by US history 50 years from now?
horn4life replied to horn4life's topic in Cloak Room
Propaganda works. If you continually tell a lie, and can get news networks to repeat the lie, then you can convince wide swaths (especially uneducated and/or racists) that something is true that's a lie. Largely because they want to believe that lie. Worked fantastically for Hitler for example if you are a student of history. I will give you a great example. Talk to ANY Republican and ask them what they liked about the Trump economy. Then ask them specifically about Trump's job creation? They will likely extoll his job creation, because Trump repeatedly said he was kicking ass. Reality? Is that Trump and the GOP added about $2 trillion in national debe to produce roughly 1.4 million fewer jobs than the economy he inherited. Reality is the exact opposite of what they fervently and passionately believe. That's scary. That is why I believe that if something catastrophic like Biden dying before the election, we could end up with Trump in power and a GOP willing to change any law to accommodate our dear leader. I see no GOP resistance? Do you? Scary shit. Especially when you listen to Fox News spewing endless lies about the legal system. Simply to sell advertising, nothing more or less. We live in a dangerous time! -
While I am hopeful for our Democracy to survive, I am also fearful. I see as at a point where there is either going to be a survival of the rule of law, or there will not be. Anyone have any scenarios? I have no doubt that the GOP would be willing to destroy the rule of law absolutely for political power. Never at any other point in history have I personally assumed that the member of ANY political party in our country. There is no bottom for today's elected GOP federal officials, they are corrupt and absolutely so. Power is now more important than country. Please, please, please! Convince me my bleak opinion of how US history will be taught in 2073 is incorrect? Hell the bad news is this post may actually my family in jeopardy if option #2 is the way it goes. That's some scary shit my friends.

Speaking of shitty music, wasn't Kid Rock's "No Snowflakes" tour supposed to be in Austin last week? I never heard a peep or saw any mention of it on local media. Yeah I thought about sitting outside and building a throne out of Bud Light to sit in, while holding a sign, "Snowflake convention straight ahead!" Hell, now that I think about it, I could have had somebody call all the news stations about it and started a You Tube channel, with all the goobers 'splainin' to me how dumb I was... that this was actually the "no snowflakes" concert... I could have been a YouTube Star....

Lavelle got fucked on that yellow, as contact from the other player pushed her into the player she was called for fouling. She's been the best player on the team thus far, IMHO. And the only one that has stepped onto the pitch with the level of intensity worthy of a World Cup. Now for the first 8-12 minutes the US was very intense and frenetic, and I really did expect an early goal. But once Portugal weather the initial storm they damn near score on one of the first counters... then the game changed for the duration. I will also complement Portugal on executing one of my pet peeves of missed opportunity, "the back side of the goal." Thought Portugal was gonna get an easy one off this, the the cross was crap. But their positioning here was consistently better than most of the teams I have watched in the tournament thus far. Speaking of crap, where was the intensity and consistency today? Fitness was a question that some of the commentators thought was a potential issue. I sort of think that one of the problems when you come out and dominate the first couple of minutes is an expectation of the team to think you can just get right back to that threat level. That flash of lack of intensity is where the momentum begins it's turn and the other team's hope begins to build. Damn lucky to get out of the group in all honesty. As we were darn lucky not to lose to the Netherlands. Made me wonder how many more games I am gonna get to watch of them...

Caprese Salad using costco Mozzarella, and "Nona Pia's Balsamic Glaze" which is fantastic as it's thick and perfect for the quick caprese. With the costco sized Mozzarella, and basil going crazy on the patio it's a great summertime fav of ours. Seared scallops on spaghetti squash, with salad with a little blue cheese. The squash takes forever to cook, but a lot lighter than pasta!

Decided to do some Achiote Chicken tacos, hadn't done them in a while and if I may say so pretty tasty! Side is Cojita corn.

Do yourself a favor and search like a mofo for any squeaks in the underlayment and fix those with glue and screws. And level out the floor if necessary before the new flooring gets put down. I've got dual fuel, double oven slide in range. I think if I were to do it over today I would go induction. Only thing I really wish I would have done on my kitchen remodel would have been to at a point of use instant water heater at the kitchen sink. As my kitchen is a ways from my water heater, and instant hot water would be nice for the sink and great for the dishwasher. I also love my large single sink, as it allows me to put sheet pans and monster cutting boards in from BBQing. If that clean rectangle was your prior cabinet set up you have to be excited as hell! Mine was a galley before I opened it up.

For some reason this made me think of Rush Limbaugh...

Good that he was able to come right back. Lucky he didn't piss himself. Wonder how Fox will cover it? If at all?

I think fairly it's time to question the amount of money the US sends to Israel. I have always viewed Israel, as "The most oppressed, oppressor in existence." Because I believe that both statements can be true at the same time, when taking history into account. I also understand the strategic aspect of having Israel strong as a counterbalance in the region, but at what cost? When they are basically dependent on the US, I think they should at least try to NOT move away from democratic norms. But you have a huge injection of right wing religious zealots who want to basically drive the Palestinians into the sea with development of real estate. I've always felt you cannot blame Netanyahu for leaning authoritarian and wanting to weaken the court system. Folks that don't like obeying the law, are always all in for that. I think right now we really need to start deciding what level of investment we put into authoritarian leans in our allies? Do we ignore it? Cheer it? (as Trump would do!) Or do we flex the only leverage we have, the pocket book? Anyhow curious about your thoughts on the subject. Basically it is never, ever, ever good, when religion begins to rule Democratic politics, because it quickly moves with zealotry to use their power absolutely. Because when God is on your side, you have no need to compromise or even listen to those who do not follow your God. Sort of like Mark Meadows and the Wife of Clarence Thomas communicated about the attempted coup...

Daddy98: "Austin's not a great football town anymore not for college." Gotta be a troll. (I used to be that guy long ago) For Fucks sake, Austin is the best fucking town in all of the SEC. Period! You dumb mother fuckers. It's the one town that every single fan of every single SEC school wants to come and party in. It's the one they will all go home talking about how cool it is... And you dumb fucks are selling College Station... -
Yeah the Summer has been brutal, I guess I am about to get this months bill. Thing is on autopay so while the price will be painful the emotional part will be less so. But yeah our unit runs basically all day unless we really run it up. I actually need to reroute a duct line from my master to the front of the house. As unit is unbalanced after we moved the unit into the attic. And then we moved the intake and the air in the back of the house gets more A?C cranking through there because of proximity to the return. I think it will be perfect once I add a smaller duct for the master and reroute the large duct to the front of the house that gets the least airflow. As far as the shutting down the vents, that not only doesn't work but promotes the growth of mold in the shut down vent's ductwork.

Cool off beaten path places to see for lower 48 road trip

The sign made my mind jump back in time to either the 6 hour "American Experience" class or Pre-1865 art history, where I read about Jedediah "Strong" Smith journeyed across the American Wilderness. His real life was the inspiration of the bear attack you see on the movie screen where Leonardo Di Caprio gets mauled horrifically in "Revenant." Here is the description that was burned into my memory. After two weeks of rest, Smith resumed his duty as captain of the party. I might suggest that perhaps picking out some of the early explorers paths as perhaps a way to wander? A lot of the journeys are along Americas waterways, which the dogs will love. Here is a small map of his route, it's gonna take you off the beaten path for sure! here is a link to a site devoted to Smith's exploration- https://jedediahsmithsociety.org/home/interactive-maps/ But thanks for the pic, and reminding me of a historic American figure I admired for his amazing fortitude and simply unwillingness to give up. -

My dog yelped and ran to the other room after I read that to her. Probably because I read to her who was traveling in the RV on this trip... 😉 -

First thing you do is buy a National Park Pass, so you have free admission to any of the National Parks. I am also immediately trying to put a loose itinerary together most likely centered around the ability to book reservations in National Parks. I am also immediately looking ahead to book in the Spring and Summer preferred RV spaces that fill up completely during the late Spring and all Summer. Pick something you like and use it as your guide! If you are a foodie, I might look for places visited on "Diners Drive Ins and Dives" to visit for example. Or Places where movies were shot or homes of actors if I was into entertainment. I might be looking at small music venues around the country as I like live music. Or the best dive bar in each state? Sounds like you most important criteria may be to find places that are dog friendly since you are gonna have two furry friends with you.
