  1. You could do things for the common good -- but as was voiced LOUD AND CLEAR at that meeting, that's bad, anything that actually helps people is evil communism from the pits of hell. Or, you could do something that further empowers our brave law enforcement officers to more efficiently crack skulls and put....well, you know who....in their place. So many of the bad things that have happened to us (2021 power outage, the death toll in the July 4 floods) are due in large part to our society's complete pivot: anything that is for the common good is evil. The only things that are good are 1) things that enrich the few, or 2) things that inflict pain on "the other." Dear God, that's a recipe for a pain-filled dystopia. Have a power grid designed to maximize the availability of power, while allowing utilities a reasonable rate of return? EVIL. Design it for maximum profit, with also fits nicely with the minimum margin of safety. That is GOOD. Spend money on flood warnings that will save dozens of lives? Those people should pull themselves up by their bootstraps -- "public warning system" sounds like commie bullshit to me. Better to spend that money on harder nightsticks for the cops. Maybe some more armored vehicles, cuz you know, we're not that far from the border, knowwhatimsayin? It's maddening.
  2. At least they had one solid reply: Personally, I would hire Jimbo Fisher. He's already on the payroll, so A&M could spend the money they save on something more important, like football.
  3. Dude, your "serving lady with a hairnet" fetish is on you. Don't you put that evil on us.
  4. It's fucking insane. And it even counts the wrong thing. Number of events? Who gives a fuck. Do the fucking body count. A hippie punching a Trumper counts the same as as dude slaughtering two dozen hispanics in El Paso. Jesus fucking Christ. Putting fucking shoplifters next to mass murderers and saying "see, they're both criminals!" Fucking insane.
  5. That's right -- it's something like 8-9 pounds (it's not cheap), but again, you have to use the same credit card/phone account so it is tracked.
  6. Oh, it also admits right wing violence COMMITTED BY FUCKING ARMS OF THE STATE BECAUSE THEY'VE TAKEN OVER THE GOVERNMENT. See, if some white supremacist body slams a chick, that's political violence. Give that guy an ICE t-shirt, and it doesn't count. Shit, I'm gonna bet that in Nazi Germany, there were very few acts of "right wing political violence." Instead, they were perfectly legal actions by the state. Gun down jews in the street for sullying the fatherland? Political violence. Gun them down and shove them into a pit while you're wearing an SS uniform? Doesn't count.
  7. For the millionth time, all the quiet parts out loud. But, you know, @Enchubben assures us that this movement -- including one of the president's chief advisers above -- is not racist at all, and actually, WE are the problem for calling them racist. Because "black woman should work at a fried chicken joint" isn't a racist thing at all.
  8. That's impossible. @Enchubben told me that Charlie and Turning Point are all about love and equality, and the constitution, which totally allows for religious freedom and liberty and not a state religion imposed by the government. Liberty and Religious Freedom are cornerstone ideals for them. Wait...what's that....that only goes for native-born white Christians? Huh. Guess there was some mixup down at the home office with the memo and whatnot.
  9. Counterpoint: if he chokes on a Big Mac this week, that appointment ends this week. So....there's that. Health care costs to employers are skyrocketing this year. You can thank the "Big Beautiful Bill." It issued a SMOOOOOOTH buttfucking to healthcare insurance premiums across the board. Every employer I know is 1) going to take a beating and absorb some of those costs, and 2) pass some of those costs on to their employees, because they're just to high to eat all of em. That applies to all aspects of the law. Which is why lawyers have been tearing their hair out for a while. Nothing but "crazy Ivans" from the POTUS kills predictability. Calvinball from the courts kills predictability. Can't tell you how many lawyers I know who are so frustrated by our inability to advise our clients on what the law is/how a case should go. When you have to tell them "well, the case law says it should turn out like X, but if Fox News gets hold of it, the Fifth Circuit is going to do somethin utterly wacky," that sucks. There's really nothing good about this timeline. Unless, of course, the Big Mac thing happens. That would be nice.
  10. Correct. And it flat-out omits openly right wing attacks, like the murder of a police officer by the dude shooting up the CDC.
  11. Dude. Nearby are a Popeye's, a Jollibee, Shipley's, and a Luby's. What more could a man want?
  12. Hey Donnie.... ....and I'll take it. Does he need him to say "Sir, thanks to your great leadership, we can win this thing?" I'll say it. No problem.
  13. I like the idea of putting up a blank poster next to them, with large spaces numbered 1-10. Attach a pen, so you can have a discussion about leadership. "Class, who can name prominent leaders -- community, political, social -- who have violated any of these commandments? What's that? You want me to put down RFK Jr. and Ken Paxton next to #6, thou shalt not commit adultery? Ok then. What's that? Greg Abbott and Donald Trump next to "don't bear false witness? What's that...Trump again for not keeping the sabbath holy because he golfs on Sundays? Alright kids, good stuff. Y'all all get participation points."
  14. Wait...our leadership has been intent on throwing a teacher -- who was desperately trying to save lives and actually ended up in harm's way -- under the bus.....to try to distract from the failings of both the HEROES of law enforcement AND state and local leadership? I for one am shocked. And remember what your governor says: "it could have been worse." I guess what he left unsaid was "....we could have deflected blame onto a teacher who didn't do anything wrong. Wait....we did that. Nevermind."
  15. Come on, man...we all know that in Austin, the term up front would be "cocktail-forward," and the menu would use the word "infused" at least 8 times.
  16. Who are you going to trust, scientists and their data, or a fucking deranged man who says "this is based on what I feel?" The choice is obvious, stupid libtard.
  17. Gosh, it's pretty surprising that when you tell someone "fuck you, we hate you, fuck off," they....back away from you and stop doing business with you as much as they possibly can. Who could have seen this coming? Ironically, it's actually a good thing for Germany and Europe: dumping those euros back into their own industry (at America's expense) will be a decent little economic boost.
  18. No. Only when the person making the threat is a Fox News watcher and the target is a “leftist.” See also the fact that none of these folks cared about “violent political rhetoric!” When it was getting dozens of Hispanic, black, and Jewish people killed. But one white dude gets shot, and it was POSSIBLE that it was politically motivated…and we MUST take all action including unconstitutional action to stop all violent rhetoric (but you know, only leftist stuff).
  19. ^^^^ Yep.
  20. Well, that’s just smart. You can ruin a hobby by making it your job.
  21. Remember how they all used to rant about the “free shit army?” Yeah. Every accusation is a confession exhibit 350 million. Of course, what they MEANT was “if a minority gets it, it’s evil welfare/socialism…if I get it, it’s what I’ve got coming to me as a good American.”
  22. “When I show up in a board room and I see a woman as CEO, I think ‘boy, I sure hope she isn’t the widow of the founder who just got handed the title when he died.’” Is that how we do this “I’m just asking questions, all hires should be merit-based” game?
  23. Had 5 Pemaquids left from last night’s oyster feast. Had them with seared halibut with a lemon brown butter shallot sauce and whole sautéed okra (just kosher salt, fresh pepper, and olive oil).
  24. Correct. We're going for a show in a coupla weeks, and shit, the rate at the Aria I booked a few months ago is better than those rates or any rates I can find on any third party site.
