  1. This is funny because "enjoying myself and laughing at you losers" is basically by reaction to the Gaetz AG pick and the TV host SecDef guy whose name I don't even remember. Why are you excited? These are big unforced errors for important roles, whose Senate confirmations are legitimately in doubt and even if confirmed lack the competence to execute the plans you have such a weird little chub over. Trump and team are setting back their own agenda before they even arrive. A week in and it sure seems to me Trump is just in this to pardon himself, play golf on the public dime, and continue to grift people like you while not really giving a fuck. I don't know what they told you at fish camp but aggy is not in this club.
  2. Wife's had some bouts of homesickness after relocating out of TX earlier this year. On election night, in the window where it was pretty clear Harris was going to come up short in the Sun Belt but there was some hope to hold out for the Blue Wall, I remarked on the returns in Texas and Florida (Trump +9 in TX and +13 in FL at the time). "We are never fucking moving back." It was a really sad moment. I'm more or less with you. No interest in riding out a second Trump term in TX. WA is a state that's grown a lot over the last 10-20 years and is only going to be more attractive to those looking to get out of red states - to say nothing of climate change - in the coming years. I feel like the most productive thing I can do is lean into building community here and trying to contribute to making things better at the local/state level. And Canada's only a couple hours away.
  3. Would that be for all marriage/the default option, or would that just allow nutjobs to enter into a more stringent arrangement if they both consent? I mean, I know it's a slippery slope either way but there is a distinction.
  4. I don't even know the "Trump dance" bit and there's decent odds that this is just a couple white boys that can't dance, but if it's indeed a thing... Shouldn't your reaction be ShUt Up AnD dRiBbLe!1!1!1
  5. This is the caliber of troll I aspire to be. Darren Woods out here with the greatest IRL shitpost of all time.
  6. I have to admit I didn't think I could be surprised by a Trump cabinet pick but lmao Trump is really nominating a FOX News host for SecDef. This is the dumbest apocalypse.
  7. When you're down a couple of scores in the fourth quarter, as one could argue this situation represents? Reuben Gallego could be a name to watch.
  8. That's what would make Texas look incompetent?
  9. That's what I'm getting at. I don't think Congress will necessarily get jealous and act as a check. Maybe an impediment to the agenda through dysfunction, sure, but an active check? Nah.
  10. Not when said power is being yielded in a way Congress would like to but can't because they don't have the votes or fear the electoral blowback.
  11. Post-2012 Republicans had no idea how they were going to compete because they couldn't breakthrough with Latinos. Weird shit happens and in a two party system the opposition has an advantage with the incumbent party is unpopular as they almost certainly will be after a year or two.
  12. The House will be an issue too. The GOP is much more MAGA than in 2016, but their House majority is a fraction of that. It's unlikely to expand significantly if at all. It's been very dysfunctional over the past two years. Maybe they all fall in line with daddy but 4-5 defections is going to stall legislation, and it's going to continue to be really hard to square the interests of swing district reps with MAGA purists with a likely Democratic-leaning midterm on the horizon.
  13. His very lucrative job depends on winning football games. Would you swap out Missouri or aggy for Texas on your schedule with that goal in mind?
  14. Maybe CBP staff will tell recruits to go work for the cartels or something
  15. But I think Bozo is closer to correct here, though on a more drawn out than analogous decades. The social contract has been gradually unraveling since at least the Great Recession, maybe earlier. If I were to give an actual analogous decade I'd go back to the 1870's; the start of Gilded Age. Deeply divided nation; patronage, corruption, and an enormous partisan gulf in government thtat doesn't accomplish much of note for the people. A clawback of social progress in the south - today it's less geographically stark but the cultural divide stems from the grievances of the south from the civil war era. Rapid economic growth driven by technological advancement, staggering wealth inequality. I think we're basically on the early end of a second Gilded Age.
  16. Arkansas is not good and if Texas takes care of the ball they roll, even if the offense disappears for stretches. Throw dumb picks or drop a couple more fumbles, letting Arkansas hang around or even build a lead, all bets are off. I anticipate the former.
  17. Surely you aren't implying our fine aggy friend is at best a disingenuous troll and at worst an utter moron?
  18. I don't know who this is and there is no evidence offered even supporting the claim. Also, it's totally plausible. Are you not familiar with Cult 45 over the past eight years?
  19. "Pretty much everyone I know IRL" is a pretty specific, overlapping segment of the population for most of this board, and it doesn't reflect the broader electorate.
  20. Newsom is clearly a sharp guy but the rich California limousine liberal douchebag image is going to be really easy to pin on him because of shit like this. Pete being this board's darling and the whole Ivy League McKinsey consultant bit makes me skeptical he'll connect with the base and swing voters. I wouldn't withold my primary vote over it but I do unfortunately think being gay would be a liability in a general election. If either wins the primary they're an underdog.
  21. For the record, I am all for rights not stopping at state lines so long as we're consistent on that. I'm sure all our recent migrants from texags agree, right?
  22. For one, between how other results on the schedule have broken and the SEC championship/CFP formats, it doesn't really matter. Just keep winning from here and everything's there for the taking. Beyond that, sometimes it just isn't your day on the field or on the headsets, and when that happens against a good team - and Georgia, while not the borderline unstoppable juggernaut they have been in recent years, is a good team - you can get rocked like that.
  23. Yeah fair enough. Consensus is Republicans will have a slim majority, but I suppose that's not Facebook official yet.
  24. Honestly man maybe just log out of Surly for a few days. I think it would be good for you. You have been on here just spamming nearly non-stop for days on end. I've tried to engage you on why we're all deranged betas way too deep in our feelings and get a feel for what we should really expect from the admin but that hasn't held your attention. Most of what you post is either stuff like this - basically the $9.95 fall practice reports for hardcore political partisans - or just releasing a crazy, downright weird amount of rage against political opponents in the abstract or even other posters. I'm not saying this because I'm offended or annoyed or whatever, and you can consider me owned if it makes you feel good. I'm saying it because your current mental state is pretty clearly not good for you or anyone else, and both you and the people around you in your life would almost certainly be better if you just cooled down a bit. Go watch some football, get a workout in, camp in the woods, try to get laid, whatever.
  25. The mob mentality of the far left on a board comprised largely of former Bush-McCain-Romney voters in the suburbs of Dallas, Houston, and Austin lol.
