  1. His "endorsements" are a direct copy of Ken Paxton's, which means he's carrying water for Tim Dunn, which means for all his talk about limited government, he's all for an overreaching role of the government in the private lives of the citizenry. Plus, Michael Berry "endorsed" Donald Trump, a man who bragged on tape about sexually assaulting women and being able to get away with it because he's a star.
  2. Philandering Ken Paxton keeps calling Dade Phelan "Drunk Dade." Meanwhile, Ken Paxton endorsed Nathan Criswell, a wife-beater who violated a restraining order. This is what Criswell did to his wife: https://www.thedailybeast.com/ken-paxton-endorses-nathan-criswell-who-violated-protective-order
  3. Patrick McHenry goes after Mike Johnson: Mike Johnson's Predecessor Turns on Him (msn.com) Republican Ken Buck "embarrassed" by his Republican party's inability to do anything construtive: Top House Republican Is “Embarrassed” and “Ashamed” Of GOP’s Actions (msn.com)
  4. You know what pisses the living shit out of me for some reason, "Rest in Power." I'm seeing it all over social media now. The first time I saw it I thought "oh, that's kind of cool. It's a takeoff on 'Rest in Peace, but not as cliche'". Now? Fuck it. I'm just going to start sayin nonsense shit like Rest in parsimony, rest in pulchritude, rest in priaprism, rest in paradox, rest in pertinence, rest in propitiousness etc... Fuck this shit.
  5. This guy says he didn't need a bond. He appears to be on top of this. He's a good twitter follow. od
  6. I told Dall-E to generate a picture of a car full of Texas longhorn football fans careening towards a canyon and this is what it came up with.
  7. This is a pretty good analysis of Trump's popularity. https://www.vox.com/politics/2024/2/24/24080974/south-carolina-gop-primary-results-2024-trump-haley-trumpism "Trump’s celebrity charisma alone isn’t enough of an explanation. Otherwise, former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger would bestride the GOP like a colossus. Nor is Trump’s fawning coverage in the conservative media. Fox News has repeatedly tried to turn the Republican base away from Trump and toward figures like DeSantis, only to have to kiss the ring when the voters didn’t follow their lead. The answer, at least as far as I can tell, is that Trump’s cult is the product of his unique ability to channel the cultural grievances at the heart of the current Republican party. Again and again, social scientists found that the best predictor of Trump support among Republican voters is the degree to which they feel discomfort with the changing nature of American demographics and social norms. Trump has sold himself as the only person capable of fighting back against the alleged elite conspiracy behind these changes, saying things like “I alone can fix it” and “I am your retribution.” From these building blocks, he has created a full-scale political movement dedicated to reconquering America. Trump’s appeal isn’t premised on delivering concrete policy goals, nor even “owning the libs” with high-profile stunts. It is about assuaging the sense of fear and resentment at their America being replaced: about achieving victories that assuage the sense of psychological assault created by things like mass immigration, a Black president, shifting gender roles, and a beloved beer brand cutting an ad with a trans influencer. Donald Trump, as a figure, represents the America they know and love. His victories are their victories, his defeats their defeats."
  8. They have to be the dumbest people on the planet, especially the guy that punched him in the back of the head. The dude made NFL linebackers look small.
  9. I swear to God when this motherfucker dies I'm inviting every one of you to the Black Sheep Lodge on Lamar for a night of drinking on me.
  10. Trump to Black people: "I'm being indicted for you." Trump also: Black people like me because of my mug shot. This fucking lunatic: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/02/24/trump-black-voters-indicted-mug-shot/
  11. Pro life? Republican states have a dying problem.
  12. Proud to say that I now get priority seating on every flight
  13. It's a conclusion I came to slowly, after several watchings of both. Goodfellas has a 95% approval on Rotten Tomatoes, Miller's Crossing 93%, but Miller's Crossing is better. After Big Lebowski it's my 2nd favorite Coen Brothers movie.
