  1. Was sitting in an airport restaurant in Newark last night and they were playing Fox Business.  Even their business channel was just straight up propaganda.  They weren't even trying to be somewhat factual. I knew it was bad from clips I've seen here, but I didn't think it was quite that bad.  It's just fact free news, with special guest appearances by that dumb football coach that snuck out the bathroom window when hosting a recruiting dinner in Lubbock.  Wow.

    I don't know. How many gay men go in for uniformed cultists performing spastic dances in public? 

    Lots of gays could get in the mood for some cosplay.  But the costumes have to be better than a white milkman costume that doesn't show off the figure.  They aren't getting laid by anyone but true believers (and sheep) in those getups.  And when they do decide to get out of those milman costumes, their backup is to go with coveralls and puff paint.  Lots of gays like a good arts and crafts project, but, no no no no no.

    I didn't want to start a new thread -- this will have to do.

    What EXACTLY is going on with the freakout over drag shows, etc.?  I admit, I don't really understand why there might be a movement to host drag readings for children, but if the parents are cool with that, I am too.  But drag shows?  They've literally been going on for centuries.  Isn't the average drag show pretty self-contained in a club that no straight hillbilly nazi would want to patronize, anyway?

    I understand the underlying push is to limit all freedoms, but it seems such a small demographic to focus on.  Maybe the thought is to target larger and larger demographics with success against the smaller ones; i.e., drag -> gay -> racial minorities -> women?

    You focus on the small demographics first to get everyone in the mood to limit the rights of the "Other."  Next round the group will be a bigger or more favored group of "Other." The round after that will be an even bigger or more favored group of "Other." And you keep doing that until you have just the most favored group that's left that gets to ignore all the rules for themselves because they are too busy enforcing all the rules on the "Other."  It's pretty simple. 

    Only quibble with your timelines is its Drag -> Trans -> gay -> Middle Easterners -> Blacks and or Mexicans -> Mexicans and or Blacks -> Jews -> Indians (Asian) -> the other Asians -> women -> poor whites. 

    Every time they are successful with adding a more favored group to the pile, life for the people below the new group will get worse, to the point that by the time we get to the Jews or Indians, all the rainbow groups will be dead or in hiding.  By the time we get to all the Asians we'll have expelled or killed all the people with Middle eastern backgrounds.  By the time we get to the poor whites, we'll be right back to gassing the Jews.  Yay us!

  4. I don't believe a third term is possible simply because there aren't enough states that would allow him on the ballot a third time because he doesn't meet the qualifications for office in that state.  One of the qualifications to run for president is that you can't have served 2 full terms, and there are enough blue/purple states that would respect that enough that they would wholly disqualify him from even being on the ballot.  If he's only running in the deep red states, he has no ability to get to 270, and therefore no shot at a 3rd term.

    I can be an optimistic dumbass though, so I could be wrong.

  5. This is the only score shirt I’ve ever owned.  I don’t wear it, but it’s a nice thing to own.  Poor aggy won’t ever know what this is like!

    I wear that exact shirt around the house all the time. In fact just took it off after some yard work. My favorite single game shirt ever, though, and someone in my family is an ass and threw it out, was a picture of Jesus holding a football with the caption “To hell with OU”. Fucking loved that shirt. I guess technically it was only a single game shirt because I bought it just before my first TX/OU game in 1990 and it was sold for that game but it was before the game and therefore no scoreboard.

  6. If I were Trump, I'd decide what I want to claim I weigh, then when I talk about it the next time I'm in front of cameras, I'd hold up the weights that I had strategically hidden in my suit to make me appear heavier, to own the libs.  All he'd had to do is work out the math and hold weights that approximate the difference between the two then he gets another own the libs moment for his idiots.  It wouldn't actually own the libs, but his idiots would think it did.

  7. Still better than
    Help me!  I can’t afford college!!1! And houses are unaffordable hrrr drrr  A uneducated Betamax salesman in the 70’s could afford a ski chateau and it’s just not fair!!!!!  

    So what’s your problem with that argument? The fact that it’s true obviously isn’t your problem because it is true. What is it?

    That moran in the Cardinals t-shirt will haunt me every day of my life.  FFS.

    I mean, the only shirt that would've been more fitting from a professional sports team might be a Cowboys shirt.  Or A&M if we were going college.  Otherwise, the Cardinals shirt is pretty much exactly what I would've expected that guy would've been wearing.

  9. Heritage has been really great for decades at fighting against the acknowledgement of rights of the gays and other minority groups.  If you are looking for a retrograde opinion, they are a good place to start.

    They look like a Chukka boot and a Toms got drunk on Miller Lite and had sex in the back of a leased F250 in a strip mall honky tonk parking lot.  

    That's funny because I just came across a paper I wrote in junior high about shoes fucking and having kids, so apparently 12-13 year old me had already thought about the concept of different types of shoes having sex somewhere.  Paper got an A- so I figured out how to tone it down enough that a small town prude english teacher lady wouldn't give me shit for it.  I'm chalking that up as a win.

    Right, because Grassley’s role involved Pence going along with the plan to steal the election and refusing to certify. I took “didn’t cooperate” to be referring to Trump’s plan to overturn the election, which Pence didn’t do, leaving no role for Grassley. If “didn’t cooperate” was referring to the constitutional order then that was just confusing. 

    As I recall, they were planning for the attack to happen, for the Secret Service to bustle Pence away and not let him come back, and for Grassley to preside in Pence's absence.  Pence refusing to get in the car was the only thing that stood in the way of that plan actually working.  I'm sure a lot of Republicans had 2 speeches prepared. One for if Pence hung around and another completely opposite one for if Pence wasn't in the building.
