  1. So have we tracked down the person(s) responsible for the absolutely idiotic idea that tracking devices are embedded in the vaccine? I found out today that my up to this point level headed sister, who was no fan of Republicans as recently as 6 months ago, has decided not to vaccinate because of the tracking devices being embedded in them. I feel like someone needs their ass beat, I just need to know whose ass I need to go after. I also feel like a failure because the one ally in my family has bought into at least some of this buillshit because of facebook propoganda. I'm trying really hard not to be completely demoralized, but I have to figure out how I'm going to get her to see reason when I talk to her about this.
  2. I wasn't aware that it was impossible to be racist if you aren't white. Actually, I was aware that the word impossible in that sentence is not a thing. Guess I'm not dumb enough to be in her target audience so I'll move on. Also, for whoever was surprised about the homo roundup proposed over on Texags. I don't know if they are still around, but the whole reason I originally came out back in the Hornfans days was because some morons were busy banging that drum. Just like the racists, they didn't go away, but they did get marginalized. I fully expect that if the fascists end up winning, it won't be long before they are looking to round us up.
  3. But that one may ask you to go scissor his wife while he sits in the corner.
  4. Allsup's chimichangas are both delicious and also a great way to clean out the pipes. Or at least they were when I was 18 and drunk.
  5. Fucking Congressman that can't be assed to have a passport, what the fuck, man?
  6. That reporter's response was basically "nuh uh!" I'm really starting to like this woman.
  7. That link leads me to an excerpt from a book I want to read and to send to all my Republican family.
  8. Wow, I didn't realize he was Larry Sanders' producer. That explain the money.
  9. Look at the trees and the amount of land around the houses as the first clue. Second clue, if there is more than 1 american flag in the picture always pick Trump. I finished top 25% 18-22.
  10. lolololololololol
  11. Well when you are used to daddy buying your way out of all your problems, it becomes pretty easy to start to feel invincible.
  12. And let's not forget, a global pandemic before Trump would've been a fucking layup for auto reelection for any other president we've ever had in this country's history. Hell, it would've been a layup for reelection for any of the other candidates that ran against Trump in either the democratic or the republican primaries in 2016. Every other one of them would've had a professional organization and a unified message that would've worked to slow the spread until a cure/vaccine could've been found, would've gotten us to proper testing earlier with an attempt at rules of entry and contact tracing etc. and would've kept the crazies from gaining a foothold on the narrative. Literally any other president would've saved hundreds of thousands of lives in the US.
  13. I told y'all awhile back, I decided that the gay thing probably wasn't true because I never met a gay guy that would go out in public in suits as ill fitting as he wears. Maybe he's bi. Or maybe he just likes them underaged and he doesn't care about the equipment. That ain't no gay.
  14. This feels like a time when I would say that the court has already agreed with Fox News it shouldn't be taken seriously, and Sydney Powell has made the argument in court that she shouldn't be taken seriously, so private person defendant, you have two choices. Either, 1) you are not a reasonable person, or 2) you should've known better than to take them seriously. Since you were not being reasonable or you were ignorant of how you should've acted on the information from these people (ignore it), that means at the very least you as an individual should still be liable for some sort of slander claim.
  15. Wait, the haters want her to have a lot of money and a lot of likes on her tweets? Does she not know the difference between a hater and a fan?
  16. I spent some time thinking about things this weekend, and have been struggling with why I just don't want to talk to my family since January 6th. I'm just not wanting to engage with them at all. They are still supporting the same Republican policies they were supporting on January 5th when I could look past it and keep in contact. None of my family have said anything on social media or to me directly that makes me believe they were in favor of the insurrection, and I suspect all of them would be against the events of the 6th if I asked them. And until this weekend I couldn't figure out why that wasn't enough. But I think I've figured it out. Republicans have had some pretty terrible policy ideas for awhile now. What seems to be new is that when given the choice between candidate A and candidate B, both providing the same basic terrible policy ideas, Republicans as an electorate choose the candidate that is the objectively worse human being of the two choices. Do I want the guy under indictment to be my AG or the guy not under indictment to be my AG? Do I want the guy yelling for tort reform who only started yelling for it after he got his, or do I want the guy yelling for tort reform just out of general principle? Do I want the serial adulterer and liar who is so transparently lying that he has absolutely no credibility or do I want the guy who is better at obfuscating his lies and cheating, or maybe even the one who does his best not to lie and cheat? Do we want the supreme court nominee that had a credible witness claiming she was raped by him or do we want another SCOTUS nominee with the same bonafides minus the rape? All of these terrible humans they've put in power had an opponent in the primary. Most of those opponents agree on the main topics of the day. Why do Republicans always choose the worst human when given the choice? I'm discovering I don't want to have a relationship with my family not because I don't like their policy positions, but because I no longer trust them to be a good judge of character, and therefore I don't see how we can have anything at all in common, and I sure can't trust their advice on how to conduct my own life. It was a depressing thought process, but I feel much better now, because at least I understand where my problem is coming from. Now I at least know how to focus whatever conversations I'm going to have with them about this.
  17. Wait, if Texas has BIG problems and we've been run completely by Republicans for 20 years now, doesn't that mean we should be voting for your opponent, Big Dan? Wonder who brought the donuts to that meeting.
  18. This is weird. You think Ted did nothing wrong. Ok, that's fine, but why do you then bring up these two and ask why they are allowed to do something wrong and Ted gets raked through the coals for it? Either Ted did nothing wrong, and therefore neither did these two, or else they all 3 need to learn some lessons in taking personal responsibility as leaders to set a good example. I'm pretty sure you aren't arguing the latter, so why even bring these two up? Is this supposed to be some sort of whataboutism? You aren't doing this correctly.
  19. What West Virginia has going for it is that one of it's 4 was a state legislator. That has to count for extra.
  20. Pos rep for galoots. Hadn't heard that word in awhile.
  21. Nah you were able to shame her into telling you what you wanted to hear.
  22. You mean this guy?
  23. I think you have to register all ammunition you bring into DC with the authorities. Guns are legal but ammunition requires a permit or some such.
  24. Thanks for that. I don't look for lyrics of country songs, especially written by Oklahomans, to help me fine tune my Texas sayings library. Can't believe I wouldn't have thought to look outside of Texas to find my old Texas sayings....
