That was a hell of a video. I wish it was longer, as in, go into more detail about your service, like 15 minutes more detail, or shorter, as in give me that same message in a minute or less. I'd be on board with that campaign though, if I lived in her district.

It doesn't look hidden to me either. Seems to be right out in the open.

What costs us more? Military exercises with South Korea or Scott Pruitt's corruption?
When you take into account the benefits of the money spent, I think it's safe to say Scott Pruitt's corruption.

Still, I would've preferred White even if he is a political neophyte, which shouldn't be too much of a knock on him considering Lupe only has experience in one county. I know it's going to sound crass (coming from a straight white male), but I honestly feel like her candidacy represents the worst of "identity politics" and only goes to reinforce that terrible talking point.
The only positive that I can see in her running is that she is so bad that no one is paying her any considerable attention. All the news noise is focused on Beto, whom you're correct to de facto label as being on the top of the ticket.
My advice to her would be to basically not campaign at all so as to not diminish the chances any of the down-ballot folks like Kopser might have.
As someone who belongs to the same community as Lupe, I completely agree. She needs to just campaign in Dallas where I'm assuming she was somewhat popular, or pull a Wendy Davis and go write a book and promote it out of state during this election season.

It seems pretty obvious that this is another way to get at privatizing education. If you want your kids in college, you must get them into a private school. Otherwise, they'll be fit to be a mechanic or an electrician when they get done, but not much else. As someone who grew up in a town with 1 high school, 1 middle school, and 1 elementary school, oh and no private schools, I continue to wonder how they think that's going to work in places like that. They are basically dooming their biggest supporters to a future of ditch digging and driving more people who care about their kids' education to larger population centers.

Tech didn't destroy the olds. Most of the older men don't even use Facebook, and the women mainly use it to keep up with their grandkids.
It was all television and almost exclusively Fox News. By the time I realized what had happened it was too late.
Not all. My mom doesn't watch Fox News, nor does my dad. My mom got it from right wing talk radio and Facebook. My dad from the internet on places like Breitbart and Free Republic. My grandmother, OTOH, is all Fox News.

Am I supposed to know who these 2 people are?

I’ve been chasing a million miles with United for awhile now, but my company prefers I fly Delta for some reason and Delta is one of my customers so I’ve been thinking maybe I should switch. I haven’t yet, but having way more nonstop options might be what finally pushes me over the edge.
Anyone use Delta have any comments about the goodness or badness of their alliance network for international travel? That’s the only thing United really has going for it at this point.

I had originally planned to vote heavily Democrat and for Beto over Cruz. However, because I’ve received unsolicited text message spam, I am seriously considering voting Cruz, even though I hate his guts. I despise spam that badly.
Yeah I like to cut off my nose to spite my face too. It’s fun!

Had an Uber driver named Jesus the other night. He was born and raised in El Paso and has 4 siblings that still live there. He works for a Methodist hospital near Katy and all 4 of his kids are college graduates. Really nice dude.
I brought up Beto's name, and he literally had never heard of him. Bah.
So, uhh, Jesus took the wheel?

So much this. And tax cuts would have happened, as would deregulation, because that’s what Republicans always do. The positives they point to about Trump have nothing to do with him, whereas there are infinitely more negatives arising directly from he and his merry band of corrupt morons in the executive branch.
Not only that, they likely would've gotten more, because most people would have been ignoring every other Republican because they wouldn't have daily unforced errors. They are giving credit to a buffoon who has hindered their agenda at every turn since being elected, who is severely damaging the long term viability of their party, and for what? That's the part I just can't wrap my head around. Why do they cow-tow to him so completely? They haven't behaved this way about a President since Reagan. I get it with Reagan, I was a true believer in him as well. But there are no redeeming qualities with this nincompoop.

I got a $15k decrease from 5 Stone, but that was only a ~3% change, so no bill and a lower tax. I can live with that.

You hope.

If you are ever on a highway and get passed on the right, you are driving too fucking slow for your lane and need to move to the right. If you don't, you are an asshole. That's true whether you are driving 40 or 80 on any highway with 2 lanes or more. There are big black and white signs all over the state that tell you this. "Slower traffic keep right." Its in black and white to indicate its a statute and you can be ticketed for not following that rule of the road. I'm heartened to see a trooper actually enforcing that law. I don't think I've ever heard of anyone who has been pulled over for that in my entire life up to this point.

The good news is that in 20 years the vast majority of his base will be dead. The bad news is that will take 20 years and they are fully prepared to fuck this country up as much as possible before they die.
Its because they are baby boomers. I wouldn't expect them to get less selfish and assholish now. Why change their stripes now when they can still figure out a way to take the country with them when they go?

And you haven't even gotten to the divorce stuff yet.
Now I have. Holy shit. I mean, wasn't a person in the world who didn't see that coming, aside from T Hamm. But still, some of y'all cray.
-
I remember being sad that Hamm got fired from 247 because we were going to lose the comedy. I haven't looked at this thread in awhile, thinking it must be a bunch of rehashing of his greatest hits, but I'm catching up, still back on page 18, and I needed to respond to the thread to comment that I never should've ever doubted him. Hamm fucking delivers no matter his platform!

If you grew up Southern Baptist then you should know the significance of the election of Greear as President. Thirty years ago him and his church would probably have been kicked out of the SBC.
I think gsoda is on point, this is Gen X assuming control of the convention.
I hope you are right. And I don’t belong to the church anymore, don’t know this Greear guy from a hole in the wall. I’m saying that I’ve seen enough from the SBC in the past not to trust they are going to change until I actually see real change. Here’s hoping.
