Hey, tarriffs are back. Maybe for a day or two.
Reminds me of that old Gillette razor commercial. “Parts made around the world, proudly assembled in the USA” or something like that.

The thing is he won’t have fire any of these people if he doesn’t want to because there is ZERO accountability in Trump 2.0. There are no adults in the room. There is no third rail.
This is what people don’t understand. This is not regular politics. There is no accountability. The can be no Achilles heel, no gap in the armor. Don’t admit fault and deny until you die. They are lying to our fucking faces and people believe it simply because it’s the President and the White House.
I imagine this is what it was like in the slavery-era when people questioned government officials about slavery and indentured servants. White House response: “Well clearly the Constitution says ‘all men are created equal’ so I have no idea what you are talking about.”

That’s loser talk. Also, the Thai woman next to me is thin, so there’s more room for my enormously muscular body to fit in the seat.

I know it’s somewhat mystifying to anyone posting here and who consumes a lot of political news, but there’s some good 2024 election autopsy work (for example, David Shor on Ezra Klein’s podcast last week) that an astute candidate would be wise to begin with.
In short, if the Dems are smart, they’ll want a candidate that best positions himself as appealing to voters who switched. They didn’t switch because they are MAGA, they switched because Biden/Harris* either failed to deliver on improving their lives or couldn’t sell it.
*To Harris’ credit, I think she knew this but couldn’t escape the Biden undertow and also, like everyone in DC, underestimated Trump‘s appeal to the poorly informed.I hate to break it to you but the Dems are fucked. It doesn’t matter how bad Trump messes things up, as long as the central messaging is that Dems are responsible for your suffering, Dems won’t win. People are fucking stupid. Dems need to tap into how Trump fucked people and make that into a genuine movement. Dems in Texas can’t even tap into the disgust conservatives have for school vouchers to start a real movement. The division is real and misinformation has changed the way the political game should be played.

I haven’t listened to it (I’m kind of checked on an Obama-esque interpretation of the world), but whoever the Dems run needs to be capable of pulling in the Biden voters who switched to Trump.
I’m not sure that portraying oneself as a firebrand revolutionary 3 years early is strategically sound.
You really think these voters will vote Democrat in 2028 after switching from Biden to Trump in the last election?

Once you buy a Tesla, you don’t want another car. I know some hardcore Harris people from the Midwest who still drive their Teslas while being proud of how liberal they are. They have no shame in driving their Tesla because they love it and can’t accept their souls have been stolen for convenience. This is how completely fucked we are.

Looks like we’re skipping the part where we turn into Russia and go straight into North Korea type of control.

Aggies use "tu" ubiquitously, in pretty much all social situations, including and especially when it's awkward or completely inappropriate-- for example business meetings with people from a wide variety of educational backgrounds that don't understand and don't care about any silly regional college rivalries.
If you have to explain to a layperson what your insult means, it’s definitely a shitty insult.

Lol, a good friend is a producer for the channel. He’s equally bemused and a bit down over the hate on Twitter for the video.
I’m sure a lot of the hate is that the video is showing Autopilot but not Full Self Driving. The point is that this camera-only technology is bullshit and dangerous. LiDAR is the future and the Waymo + Uber partnership is adding to Elon’s downward spiral.

sam was a beast but he throws the deep ball worse than Quinn. Shane would be interesting in sark offense but I bet he would be hurt like ewers also. to small.
Sam’s deep ball was so bad, it would have been perfect for X to run and catch up to it instead of jogging for Quinn’s under thrown deep balls.

And Shane would have been great in this office. His deep ball was great and he could run without doing it like a battering ram the way Sam did.
Quinn is fortunate he was able to come to Texas with the system Sark was putting into place. I don’t think we would have fired Herman if Quinn didn’t tell him and Texas to fuck off until they got a real coach.

I think you misunderstood! I asked ChatGPT to take your dad's original idea, which is great, and expand on it in the style of George Carlin. As far as I know, Carlin never presented anything about half-empty or full...but he should have. Well done.
I must have misread. Being in an empty house while reading Surly on the shitter with a dangerously low TP level is not conducive to comprehensive reading. If I saw the Chat GPT part I would have asked it to help me out.

@MrBig , here is your debate presented in the style of the great George Carlin as suggested by @Royale with cheese
"You ever hear that old philosophical nonsense—Is the glass half full or half empty? Yeah? Well, I got news for you—either way, I’m getting screwed out of half a damn glass!
See, my old man had this backwards logic, right? He’d say, “Son, the glass half empty is the good one, because it’s only half empty.” What kind of optimistic depression is that? “Hey, kid, look on the bright side—your drink isn’t completely gone… yet.” Well, thanks, Dad, now I get to savor the slow, agonizing loss of hydration.
Meanwhile, you got all these glass-half-full suckers walking around thinking they won something. “Oh, I’m so grateful, my glass is half full!” Well, I got news for you, dummy—it should be 100% full! What kind of scam is this? Who in their right mind is happy about half of something? That’s like getting mugged and celebrating that the guy only took half your wallet.
And by the way, let’s talk about the real winners here—the glass-half-empty people. Yeah, because at least they understand loss management. They look at that glass and go, “Phew, I only lost half. I could’ve been totally screwed.” That’s a real survival mindset. Meanwhile, the half-full guys are over here celebrating their 50% disappointment.
You ever go to a bar and order a beer, and the bartender hands you a glass that’s only half full? Are you gonna smile and say, “Well, at least it’s half full!” No, you’re gonna say, “Hey asshole, where’s the rest of my beer?”
I don’t care how you spin it—half a glass is a ripoff. And the only people winning in this game are the ones who say, “Screw philosophy, just fill the goddamn thing up.”
This is great! My dad never listened to Carlin or any type of stand up comedian, so I have no doubt this is an original thought on my Dad’s part. It just so happens to be nearly identical to Carlin.
My Dad is the type of guy who would’ve said, “Carlin said the glass half empty…” and then went on his rant. I think his perception just comes from years of smoking cigarettes and being happy if he found a pack of half empty cigarettes somewhere in his truck. He had so many empty cigarette boxes lying around, it was always a treat to find a pack that was “half empty” when they were usually completely empty.

Well she is a track star. So she might be able to keep pace over a long distance
If a UT football player is going to be with a track star, I hope she’s more like Sanya Richards-Ross.
