  1. Also, the whole thing starts in the belief that Jesus would return within the lifetimes of the apostles. For the first time, it occurs to me that the absurd Seventh Day Advantist Church represents the history better than anyone else. He's not coming. So many Christians do great things as part of their philosophy which I respect. Just as MAGAts have corrupted the meaning of conservative, the Kingdom Christians and other haters corrupt the message and mythology of Jesus. There are so many fatal strands to the cable pulling us down. I'm not sure what the racoon represents. Maybe it's the free world.
  2. I think Newsom may have found a way to fight. Use their weapons in parody which gets points across and differentiates the satirist from the vile thing being sent up. The pro-republic forces have a crushing advantage in wit and irony neither of which is well understood or easily parried by true Trumpists. I guess calling them "weird" was the actual start of changing the rhetoric, but the hide bound political advisors strangled it in the crib. The odds aren't good for us of the pro-republic side, but at least the fall will be more entertaining. I'm sure ICE is hunting the young hispanic woman who evidently plays the key role (I can't find her name) in Newsom's strategy. We have a guest room where she is welcome to hide. They'll never search a white man's house in the middle of Trump country.
  3. UTSA? Someone on here said they were a senior laden team. Does Aggie not remember the dog fight against Bowling Green last year? And handle two SECSECSEC teams with ease? The Aggies will learn what a grind playing week in and week out in the SEC is like. It's a line of scrimmage league. There are no off weeks in the SEC where iron is always sharpening iron and the stadiums are cathedrals. I feel sorry for A&M because they don't know what they're in for. As the swallows return to San Juan Capistrano... ...profound Aggie football analysis presages the return of college football. You can rely on the above being said multiple times every week. It satisfies the simple mind to repeat the obvious.
  4. Congressional Medal of Honor and Nobel Peace Prize!
  5. It's not Longhorn toxicity ruining these idiots; it's Aggie toxicity. Make shit up about Texas then embrace it as truth. We don't even have to work at recruiting, we just send big checks. If Aggies say it, it must be true! Dumbasses.
  6. Exactly that. Further, I think it's amateur operative bullshit to keep repeating the condemnation of trans activism as bad politics just to sugarcoat the lie that trans wield any political power at all. It promotes the notion that a group (trans today, meteorologists tomorrow) are a threat to something somewhere. Disingenuity is the soul of the amateur operative who lies like a pro-operative thus selling his soul for absolutely nothing of material value. I destroyed my integrity and all I got was this t-shirt: Even the shirt lies.
  7. It was, if I recall correctly, posted only in the locker room for the players. It made it into a photograph that was published. Texas in no way claimed a title in any official way. I think Brown posting for the players is okay as if to say, "we know who was best and we proved it." Morale and motivation and all that.
  8. Thanks for posting that, @C-Man. Reich is so very smart. I think what he writes and refers to makes great sense regarding the ass-lickers he so pleasingly describes with such bluntness. The place that all of this may not kill the totalitarian movement under Trump's name is that the hate engine that Trump took over will still be running no matter what his personal fate. The GOPs will take back the reins and be much smarter in setting up their dictatorship for the applauding moron chorus molded by Rush Limbaugh. Trump falling would not erase the hate reservoirs created since Reagan regarding the ebil Dem socialists. IMHO Trump's humiliating fall would, of cours, be worthwhile for its own sake no matter what else is affected. He's looking so shitty that maybe he'll croak before he ruins everything too much and be preserved forever lying in state like Lenin in the Kremlin.
  9. Silly boy! Haven't you heard? The only people discriminated against and objects of racism are white men. We've had it with being subjugated! And we're all alphas!
  10. The soldiers in the war against liberalism must have access to whatever they need to decompress after battle. Comfort girls. Call them comfort girls.
  11. This is the gold box sitting on the coffee table (not kidding):
  12. I don't think that means what you think it does. Oddly enough, that may make it correct. Or perhaps this is just another delusional response to one of your pointed posts. Laughable indeed.
  13. My older brother was obsessed with the Candace Mossler murder trial in Houston. That's were I heard Foreman's name the most. Definitely another legend.
  14. Yep. Roy Minton was a household word in that smaller Austin. Colorful character.
  15. I as I said above, I was counting down from what I thought would be a low point. Bush 42 also pardoned all the Iran-Contra defendants on a Christmas Eve. I'm just saying he wasn't an idiot. I completely agree about brains not being mistake proof.
  16. Frank Erwin had a couple of DUIs back in the day. Lawyer Roy Minton was a genius at getting the charges dropped. At Texas baseball games when The Wild Bunch ruled, one of their traditions was to address Erwin when he was present. Before Texas would come to bat in the fifth inning, in unison, the bunch would say, "Hey Frank! It's the bottom of the fifth!" Of course, they followed by miming emptying a bottle. Erwin was good natured about it. The Wild Bunch was the kind of tradition I like. So Texas.
  17. Yeah, I know the history. I usually preface that observation by recalling how dumb Ford was compared to other presidents. The progression starts from him for that reason. I thought he'd be the low water mark.
  18. Just wow. Just fifteen seconds into his answer, which starts with simple-mindedness, his presentation dissolves into a jumble of self-interrupting tangents. At this point, Trump's presentation would be more aptly delivered in a dirty, urine-smelling suit to sidewalk passersby who avoid eye-contact. Incoherence punctuated by active stupidity. I think he's reached a point of being clinically incompetent to do anything more complex than cheating at golf. If he's not talking, his face is a frozen mask to hide his disinterest and boredom. I can still occasionally be surprised by the suspension of disbelief required to think Trump is fit in any way to run a country. As always, his flaws and incompetence are in plain view.
  19. Thank you for reminding me of that. In the flood of shit, I forgot about this particular turd.
  20. I just read some of the stuff that's available about him. The Aggies may have a problem on their hands. An Aggie piece about him says that he followed a "friend" to A&M. His bio shows no wife and kids. Prepare for: "We love homosexuals here at A&M!" After lamenting that we have one guy who buys all of our players which makes tu ebil, now they have a guy like that. So, naturally, they'll brag that he's the richest sugar daddy in the whole world.
  21. With the exception George HW Bush, every GOP president since Ford has been increasingly dumber and inept. Each time I thought, well this is as low as it will go. Nope.
  22. \ Does the administration at A&M believe it's unmanly to hire designers? Are they afraid that an effeminate man may show up and poison their precious bodily fluids? It's facilities that make a great program and wakens sleeping giants. We shall build a fabulous academic building right beside the practice field for all to see! Texas A&M University home of the Fightin' Texas Aggies from Texas has arrived at last! Mmmmmkay. I'll call a top architect and designer they'll really-- Just get the same Russian guy who designed the other buildings. Requirements? Just make it any color besides that baby shit burnt orange tu uses. No problem. So the Aggies go forth and spend tens of millions on a plain brick building with a plain set of builder grade big windows. The kind of thing Texas uses to house utility installations. I have to think that Adam C. Sinn '00 comes into the picture late. The Aggie engineer/architect was given a piece of paper with the name on it and instructed to add it to the building. An inventive man, the artist uses his trusty ruler to measure the width of the building and chooses a plain blocky font. I will just jam name in space over window. Clients not fancy people. Da! It's gorgeous. He positions it at the top of the plain not-burnt-orange wall just above the wildly inventive and attractive brownish gray louvered thing that really pulls the design together. Not an inch is wasted with spacing. And, thank goodness!, the whole clumsy title fits! Mr. Sinn must have his full name, including middle initial, spelled out. Adam C. likes his class year present because it might make people think he is a double nought spy. The whole thing represents the understated way that Fightin' Texas Aggies like to announce themselves. A big, ugly headline, "I'm a Aggie!" I suppose it was the headline idea that made breaking the building name into lines that fit on the big burnt orange brick side of the wall unthinkable. Adam C. Sinn '00 Academic and Wellness Center or just maybe Adam C. Sinn Academic Center You will be shocked to know that I have no design experience. I should have applied for the job. [What do you think, William?]
