  1. Counterpoint: the football team is undefeated. I’m sure you understand me, and why this needs to be dealt with “inside the football family.”
  2. Yeah, after discussing this with GOLL, I am going to take another run at it (forgot that the first several years of my life, lived in a shitty apartment. And I've walked multiple factory floors. And there may be another question or two that I have thought on that may be relevant).
  3. The Venn diagram definitely involves people on both ends. Bubba Slapdick from Possum Turd has zero perspective outside his little bubble. But same with Sally Socialite from Manhattan, who commented when GWB was elected "how could he have won, I don't know anyone who voted for him!" I have found myself shocked at various times in my life by the bubbles different people live in. I traveled back and forth to Mexico to visit family as a child; I was shocked that most of my peers had never been to a foreign country. I had ranching in my family (on both sides of the border); I was shocked by the city kids in my class who were scared by cattle at the Houston livestock show (and that was most of my classmates). I was surprised by peers who didn't read like I did. I was surprised in college and law school by how many classmates didn't know the first thing about guns, which would come up when I was heading out to go hunting. I was lucky in that I was exposed to a pretty broad spectrum of people, cultures, and experiences. And I realized that most people....aren't.
  4. Now I'm really pissed. Needed more detailed shit, like: Have you ever used a coathanger as a car antenna? Have you ever driven a car that required you to carry a flat of motor oil in the trunk to "top it off" every 300 miles? Have you ever yelled "get that sumbitch" at a TV? Extra points if it was during an SEC football game. Do you own more than 3 firearms? Have you ever bought a used tire? Have you ever changed an under-the-hood car part yourself? Do you own a smoker with wheels? Have you ever stood around a BBQ pit shooting the shit with a buncha mexicans and drank so much beer that you had to take a piss behind said BBQ pit? Have you spent more than 10 nights in a place with no electricity (not counting a tent while camping)? I mean, come on. I was robbed.
  5. 38. Unfair. If they'd asked some more redneck-ish questions, like "how often do you hunt," and "do you eat food from gas stations," and "have you ever fallen off a boat because you were drunk," and shit like that, I'd have scored 100.
  6. Dude. There is no overton window anymore. There's a busted frame and glass in the rubble of a building 10,000 miles away from where we are today.
  7. Yeah. Now, ponder it. And realize that there is a very, very, very good reason why there is no such ideology-neutral element there.... ....it's because the above is the answer. Think just a layer deeper, but you really don't have to overthink it. These people act with brute and blunt force only. There is no subtlety or even good-faith artifice.
  8. Never forget the fact that in this timeline, if you dropped the actual Ronald Reagan in it, saying, doing, and believing EXACTLY what the real Ronnie did, but you gave him a different name, he would be universally reviled by MAGA as a woke commie libtard soy boy. Zero hyperbole, they would hate him with the white hot intensity of a thousand suns.
  9. Yes. Because if there's anything that will cure our ills, it's TWO Arch Mannings.
  10. I'm holding a space for $300 billion. It's, like, several 5 gallon buckets and my bathtub. So, I'm like, halfway through my plan. Now, all I need is $300 billion to fill them with.
  11. Why would the GQP back off from that? He said what they believe. This IS the current GQP motto, no matter how many times @Enchubben tries to say differently (the proof is in the pudding: these are the people the party and admin is actively elevating to positions of power): “We need competent white men in positions of leadership. … The founding fathers were wrong that all men are created equal … We need to reject that part of our heritage,” There ya have it. That is what they believe. It is what they nominate, it is what they confirm. Stop letting them gaslight you at all. If you are not a white man, this country is not for you. Don't listen to me, LISTEN TO THEM.
  12. FIF ya. Y'all are just pissed that I've been correct at around a 95% clip about fucking everything that has happened, is happening, and continues to happen, under this regime. Sorry for regularly pointing out how un-American and anti-Constitution and anti-Rule-of-Law damned near everything is. The truth hurts people who insist on living within the comfort of their lies.
  13. "Is our period of abstinence over?" asks man currently raw-dogging a hooker.
  14. Yeah, mostly this. And y'all know my pretty unambiguous stance on Nazis (I think they are bad....which is apparently a controversial and un-American take these days, to hear the admin tell it).
  15. Truly....imagine if this exact thing were happening under Obama. Fox news would have wall-to-wall coverage of "OBAMA DESTROYS THE PEOPLE'S HOUSE!" They might even pre-empt one of their reverse mortgate commercials to air extended coverage. It would be the only thing they talked about for months. Now? Not a fucking word.
  16. Bingo. It will all be viewpoint-particular. Want a rally to shout about how Charlie Kirk sitteth at the right hand of God the Father? Want to build an entire curriculum around the Patriotism of Turning Point USA, and it's Lord and Savior, Charlie Kirk? No. Fucking. Problem. Have a single professor in a communications course play a clip of Charlie Kirk saying one thing, and then the opposite thing? YOU'RE FIRED. Even contemplating the idea that this proposed system would be content-neutral is insanely disingenuous. Just stop if that's what you're trying to insinuate. When you want to impose a system that protects your viewpoint and punishes all opposing viewpoints, you set vague standards that look EXACTLY like these.
  17. See the "unconstitutional conditions doctrine." Viewpoint-driven shakedowns like this as a condition of funding are unconstitutional. Or, I mean, they WERE, back when we had the Rule of Law. Now that the new rule is functionally The Divine Right of Kings, all Hail Lord Trump the First, it don't make a shit. So, I'm just reminding you of what the rules once were. Add them to the pile of things that don't matter anymore.
  18. What a coincidence -- those happen to be the only people who don't fucking matter at all, not even a little bit.
  19. Bingo. When you realize that the primary purpose of our incarceration system is to keep black and brown folks "in line," it all makes sense. Our prison system has only as a tertiary or lower purpose actual "public safety."
  20. This. And entirely subjective. Like, understand that a professor saying "last century, fascist movements had these common traits: repression of minority groups, high-level corruption and crony capitalism, etc. etc.".....will be deemed a violation of the "you can't say anything anti-conservative" rule. When you understand that "anti-conservative" is both ANYTHING remotely critical of actual things done by the regime (so, no discussion of ANY negative impacts of Trump tariffs), or even of things that are objective truths (see discussing the history of fascism) that makes the regime feel "targeted." It's hot garbage contrary to the first amendment, academic freedom, and every fucking American value and ideal.
  21. "No evidence of a crime?" Did they not get the part where he's brown?
  22. It's a pathetic cult. That's it. There's no deeper layer to it.
  23. Yep. Either way, UT has successfully branded itself as "cowardice U." A shittacular look, but then, our state leadership wants to turn the university into "Prager University at Austin," so they are just fine with that. Man, the one hallmark of this era that I'll never understand is how all of these pathetic fucksticks are falling all over themselves to bow in supplication and gargle the balls of the most pathetic figure in American history. The complete lack of self-respect and dignity blows me away.
  24. A smart man doesn't limits his options.
