  1. ....the voters are electing the representation that they want. Forget the dollar, forget Bitcoin....stupidity is the only currency of real value in the marketplace in 2025. A candidate running on a platform of banning fire, vaccines, and breathing wins in most red states by 10 points or more.
  2. They've also banned witches placing curses on people to turn them into newts, and they've banned black magic curses upon homesteads. So, you know, totally real and totally important things.
  3. This. Both things are true. And I have family connections/history on both sides (the result of my family being in and around the Texas borderlands for 250+ years). The Rangers did some heroic shit, and were hellacious fighters. They could also be racist as shit and do horrible things to mexicans. One of the many reasons I continue to have great respect for former Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson is that he was a leading voice in memorializing the Porvenir Massacre, a shameful moment in Texas history. https://bigbendsentinel.com/2021/08/11/amateur-historian-continues-to-raise-awareness-of-porvenir-massacre/ History is complicated. Telling the truth pisses people off, because how dare we realize that our "heroes" usually have some serious warts and flaws. Even evil flaws.
  4. People who have been banned from buffets.
  5. My son ate three. In one day. On three separate occasions. As snacks. In fucking PARIS. By the second time, he was doing it to fuck with us. In fairness, he also ate all the fine Parisian grub we ate that day as well. He was in his eatin' phase.
  6. Yeah. Where on earth would I have gotten the idea to say that a Republican official could commit an abhorrent violent crime in public and not face any repercussions? Man....where would I have gotten that idea? "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK?" Jesus. Get over yourself. I didn't say Paxton SHOULD do that. I didn't describe the crime in detail ("as DJT's shooting victim on Fifth Avenue chokes on their own blood" or some shit like that). Sorry it upsets you that it is literally operating procedure for officials aligned with the regime to (correctly) take the position that there is no crime so abhorrent that it would cost them voters, and I echoed that to make the point. All things considered, I'd rather Paxton NOT commit abhorrent crimes and get away with them. But by all means, continue to be appalled by my reference to one such potential crimes. I also had a "rape a nun" analogy teed up, but opted for the baby one. Substitute in whatever abhorrent crime you want instead, if it makes you feel better. But most importantly, @immamac - fuck you, muledick, he committed to oklahoma freakshow. Not that he lives in oklahoma, and I am the idoit.
  7. What is it? Well, see, it’s a necessary step in establishing a fascist police state. You have to create and empower a Gestapo, Stasi, etc. so that you can enforce your extra-legal power with force and violence. It’s in the playbook. It’s not a complicated playbook.
  8. If there is a stated goal of the GQP that would even tangentially help Americans….that goal is a lie. If the goal is to hurt people, they’re telling. The truth. Those are the two rules of interpreting GQP positions/platforms. If it would help, they’re lying. If it would hurt, they’re telling the truth. Oh, and the true motive is always some combo of cruelty, grift, and gifts/fealty to billionaires.
  9. Weird way to tell us your wife is fucking the my pillow guy, but you do you.
  10. ^^^^ Yeah, that's one of the images/pieces of evidence that just has me shaking my head repeatedly. The evidence of "chemtrails" is "look up in the sky and see those streaks!" You mean....the fucking streaks that have been created by planes flying at speed and altitude since we started breaking the 100 mph flight barrier? Jesus monkeyfuck, we are the dumbest fucking species, and there is a 100% chance that we are going to end our species' reign over the earth out of sheer ultra-mega-off-the-fucking-charts stupidity.
  11. Absolutely. I remember many years ago, working a case in Tulsa. There's a restaurant called the Wild Fork in Utica square -- still there, still really good. We went one night, and the special was a fried catfish salad. Two fillets, two hushpuppies, topped with tartar sauce, on a small bed of lettuce. It was fucking BRILLIANT, because that night, when I called my wife to touch base, she asked "so what'd you have for dinner?", I could answer truthfully, "oh, we just went to the Wild Fork and I had a salad." Goddamned genius menu move right there.
  12. False. It's been 16 years of Fox news and the Right-o-Sphere telling white men that the Dems say that straight white men are the root of all evil. It's a message packaged and sold by Fox and company, not by the actual non-MAGA world (everyone who isn't MAGA is a libtard or marxist or RINO). And it worked. Because it had perfect symbiosis with the path to power: unite the strong against a common, but weak, enemy. Punching down at "the other" works to gain and consolidate power, 100% of the time. Because we HAVE heard a consistent message from one political movement about a certain ethnicity that's to blame for everything: non-stop messaging, for decades now, that brown people are the cause of literally every problem in American life (don't tell me "just the illegal ones!"...because even THAT is stupid as shit, Jose the sheetrocker is helping, not hurting, and it's ULTRA-bullshit because we know how many hispanics are "the enemy." The president's chief adviser gave the number: 65 million. That's the number of ALL hispanics in the US, including legal residents and US citizens. We are ALL the enemy....and a good chunk of us are dumb enough to vote for that shit, too). There's no curtain they're hiding behind. There's no subtlety. It's pure-dee old-fashioned race-hatred and race-blaming. We're murderers, rapists, and drug dealers, and we should have no right to due process -- if the admin says we're enemies of the state, we should be subject to arrest and shipping us off to God knows where with no due process. Again, no hyperbole at all -- that is the actual plainly stated (stated REPEATEDLY, mind you) position of the sitting President of the United States. Yes, we're a fucking racist country, and getting more racist by the moment. Because, again, we live in a space of cognitive dissonance. Most people don't want to see their friend Jose, who works hard at the pizzeria or whatnot, to suffer any. They love Jose, and want him to stay. But if a trainload of Joses is rounded up and shipped to El Salvador, they fucking cheer it. On an individual level, most people don't act racist. On a societal level, they want all the brown people out of here, yesterday, leaving American for "real Americans." Both things are true. Don't worry, the Dems have no idea how to play in that space. It is safely the GQP's for decades to come. Using demonization of the "other" as a foundation for taking and consolidating power, and then wielding it with brutal vengeance, is a time-honored script. There's no real counter to it, so you've won. Congratulations.
  13. That’s why you need to pick on the small and the weak. It’s the time-honored path to power.
  14. Every coastal refinery in Texas and Louisiana, however…. That shit keeps me up at night.
  15. Hitting a bit too close to home, as I purchased multiple sets of these one night back in the early 90s when I got home after some beverages and turned on the TV...
  16. No she wouldn't. Fox news would paint her as a radical BLM Marxist Neocon DEI hire, and it would be over before it even starts.
  17. When did they make that change? Because I had CFA about a year ago, and the fries were damned near inedible. Just limp slabs of potato.
  18. I also don't get the CFA love. The chicken sandwich is fine. Their nuggets are tasty. Their waffle fries may be the worst in the business. As limp and bland as their dominant culture.
  19. I do have a bidet. And I did use it last night. And it made things much more pleasant than the last time I went through that procedure. Highly recommend.
  20. Jesus Christ, she'd be shredded, probably assassinated. I have zero such faith. The American people have gone full racist again, and man, they LIKE how it feels. ESPECIALLY suburban women. Hate is fucking intoxicating, and we're drunk as hell on it now. You mean, on "MARXIST COMMUNISM?????" That's all the GQP has to do. Call him a marxist communist non-stop, and he's toast. It doesn't have to be true, it just has to appeal to idiots. That is the entire story of America politics 2025: it doesn't have to be true, it just has to appeal to idiots. The sooner the Dems wake up to that and start playing that game, the better a chance they'll have. Which is never going to happen. So, we're fucked. We are a full-on idiocracy now, and there's no going back.
  21. It literally is. Which, under defamation law as it has historically existed (I say that because who the fuck knows, the law doesn't mean anything or matter anymore), is not a thing.
  22. Nicole has a fucking LIST, man....
  23. I mean....you think I was being hyperbolic. I was not. Imaginary chemtrails? They merit legislative action. Real-live pollution involving carcinogens that actually kill people? That merits legislative action too.....to ban local people from monitoring and publicizing such pollution: Banning imaginary pollution, protecting real pollution. The only thing dumber than Louisiana doing this is that Texas is sure to copy it all next legislative session.
