  1. I love free-wheeling Beto - the problem is that somewhere in there, there will inevitably be a 5-second sound bite that Fox News will take out of context and bludgeon him politically to death with. See the "Hell, yes. We're going to take your AR-15" debacle. Disregard the fact that the position was imminently reasonable in the context of the discussion (see below), especially immediately after El Paso. We can thank the 5-second attention span of the average U.S. voter today, though - just the way the GQP likes it..
  2. That reminds me of this piece from The Onion from 2012: NRA Sets 1,000 Killed In School Shooting As Amount It Would Take For Them To Reconsider Much Of Anything (theonion.com) So, yeah, pretty much spot on for the current NRA / GQP ...
  3. Is Beto going to hold a press conference right after the GQP press conference? He should lead with something like this ...
  4. Correct. I quoted it so people didn't have to go over to that cesspool, because spending more than 10 minutes over there makes me think we should press forward with the inevitable Civil War 2. Nothing is going to change these fuckers' minds, and they're hell-bent on indoctrinating the next generation with "guns n' baby Jesus" with no input from your damn math and science.
  5. One would think so, but this is Texas. We are outnumbered by pieces of shit like "baron_von_awesome" on Texags. So, no, we're not getting rid of Abbott, Patrick or Paxton - not even if the power goes out for the entirety of the summer and kids get gunned down every day until the election. Fuck this place.
  6. Definitely need to force more people who know that they'll be shitty parents to give birth to their kids + demonization of anyone else that doesn't conform to our ideals + corporate welfare - any social safety net + more prosperity gospel. That will obviously fix the "moral decay" in the country.
  7. I think we've proven that dead babies don't matter here in America. I'm more than willing to see if switching to Fox News hosts and "#2ndAmendment" GQP congress people will have more of an impact, though.
  8. Shutting down the Texags crowd before they get started scapegoating immigrants (again)?
  9. I'm wrestling with whether it's worth voting in the Republican primary to vote against Paxton and Christian. Is one of the R candidates for GLO Commissioner the anti-christ? I'm assuming that GQP is never going to stop sending me mail, so I feel like it's largely a sunk cost. Stogner seems to be a different type of R, but Bush still sucks. Talk me into spending the 45 minutes to vote today.
  10. Or, perhaps more accurately, why don't you just fuck all the way off, troll.
  11. Holy shit, that was real, wasn't it?
  12. Ivana Silva (who appears to be responsible for over 1/2 of the challenges) was also the one that sued Eanes ISD over their mask mandate. Bitch needs to pick up a hobby or something ...
  13. I assume it's a reference to 14 words: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children." https://www.adl.org/education/references/hate-symbols/1488 Ya know - what Tucker is paraphrasing 24/7 ...
  14. Is this for real? Why do Dems insist on bickering among themselves and imposing never-ending purity tests? I fully expect this to devolve into another "Defund the Police" debacle that will allow the GQP to bludgeon the reproductive rights movement into oblivion.
  15. The fucking stupid ... it hurts. That said, I'm sure it will start making the rounds on Facebook because, ya know, morons ....
  16. They should get to that right after Congress manages to pass legislation that unfucks everything that the USSC has fucked up recently (gutting of VRA, Citizens United, pending overturning of Roe). Until then, they can get fucked.
  17. Was his all-day coke binge yesterday induced by getting grilled by the 1/6 Committee the day before? Dare to dream ...
  18. Jesus tap-dancing Christ - these fuckers are always the victims. "Our religion requires us to treat everyone who doesn't espouse our exact views as second- or third-class citizens, and making us treat them as equals is infringing our religious freeeeedums ..." is not the rhetorical slam-dunk that these zealots seem to think it is.
  19. "Foreword by Ted Cruz" because of fucking course - gotta remind the rubes that he's leading the charge toward idiocracy.
  20. The wealthy among the GQP (i.e., the "rules for thee ..." crowd) absolutely don't want this. Of course, the rich will always find a way around the rules. It may be time to start investing in some "Trace Buster Buster" types of technology ...
  21. Pro tip - look for something with a scooch more elevation in light of Climate thread.
  22. ... and even when they have an "expert" on, it's one of the same 10 experts that's always on. Between that and their preferred format for discussing issues (i.e., having two people with diametrically opposed views on and letting them try to scream over the top of each other), CNN deserves to just go away.
