  1. There is a 500% chance that dude 1) is quickly pardoned and 2) appointed something like "Election Security Czar" in the Trump administration.
  2. But see, Brisket is being hyperbolic and alarmist.
  3. Also true. My wife is really looking to dial back her wedding business. And a part of that is the fact that probably better than 50% of her weddings are in the Dripping Springs area, and she is sick of making that drive. It's stressful, always lots of traffic, and dangerous as hell (she's been caught in traffic behind more than one fatal accident out there). It's just not worth it. Plus, that means that more of her Saturdays are free for us to hang out and go to football and soccer games and such.
  4. That.....is fucking metal.
  5. I'd rather burn in at 200 mph and have some laughs, then to eat it in a car accident, I mean thats a really dumb way to go. No, really, you see like the one thing I wanna do before I join the cosmos is to hang glide off of Mt. Everest. Yeah, but wait, this is the best part: NAKED!
  6. 100%. Seriously, have had that conversation with friends. Realizing 1) how inherently dangerous travel is by car, and then 2) how EXTRA-dangerous it is/was when young, stupid, often drunk college students are involved (yeah, I was at UT in the late 80s), it is an inescapable conclusion that based on just the fact that they are hardly ever in a car (Ubers sometimes, and occasional road trips on highways that are much slower and safer than ours), my kids' safety risk in college was WAY lower than ours. And I still break into a cold sweat when I stop and think/realize that you can be doing everything right, and then a fucking dump truck jumps the median and kills you dead, you never had a chance. That....fucking bothers me. A lot.
  7. One can do both. I intend to make the best of things for me and mine. Everyone else can get fucked. That's the path they intend to charge down, and I'm not going to waste any more energy trying to stop them. Stop having faith in humanity. You're just lying to yourself.
  8. Counterpoint: name your dick "leaf," and just sit back and wait to be blown.
  9. Ahh, but perhaps you missed the central -- and coincidentally, ONLY -- rule/law for MAGA: "RULES FOR THEE, NOT FOR ME." I'm not being hyperbolic. That is literally the only governing law/rule in our government right now. Everything else follows from that.
  10. Ahh, I see. You have faith in "the better angels of our nature." I, on the other hand, believe in evidence. And the evidence is...we are a shithole country. Our dominant ethos is a blend of "cruel, vindictive, and hateful," and "just fine with cruel, vindictive, and hateful." There are good people in this country. We are hopelessly outnumbered, and evil wins. It always does. We are the country of slavery, genocide, lynchings, Jim Crow, attacking trans people, going backwards on acknowledging that gay people can exist, etc. We have never even fully acknowledged that those ARE sins, much less sought forgiveness and reconciliation for them. FFS, we're trying (and succeeding) to outlaw even mentioning them in education. Your faith in this country and the people in it is entirely misplaced, and you are setting yourself up for even more disappointment. This country is beyond redemption, which works out well because it is also not worthy of redemption.
  11. If I have to hear that goddamned Lainey Wilson "in a 4x4 by U" fucking song in a goddamned motherfucking Ford truck commercial again, I'm gonna choke a bitch. It's fucking relentless, I hate her, I hate the song, I hate all life on this planet if this shit is the end product of billions of years of evolution. And I say that as someone who has had a Ford 4x4 truck for over 25 years. Total planetary destruction by massive meteor is a fate too good for us.
  12. Dude. I am JUST. COUNTING. VOTES. I am not commenting on whether the REASON for those votes is meritorious, evil, or in-between. Maybe SOMEDAY, this country will be ready for a gay man (spoiler: that someday, if it ever occurs, will be long after we're dead, if we even have a USA then. Sorry, but we've gone so far backwards so fast, you don't even grasp it yet). But that day is NO day soon. I'm not saying he can't run because of his sexuality. I'm saying that 1) HE CANNOT GET ENOUGH VOTES TO WIN 2) BECAUSE TOO MANY AMERICAN VOTERS WILL NOT VOTE FOR A GAY MAN. You don't have to like that -- I don't like it. But it's fucking true. It is true because we are a stupid, shallow, and hateful nation. YES, you are right, that it is a black mark IS due to our own ignorance.....but our ignorance, which is of near-infinite breadth and depth, is a real thing. We have seen our true colors this past decade. It's horrifying. But it's also ACCURATE. We are a sick, cruel nation. That's the truth. Accept it, and work from there.
  13. He can't win. America will not vote for a gay man. Just stop. You don't have to think that's a GOOD thing. You just need to realize that it is a 100% TRUE thing.
  14. That's the great thing about this timeline: with most of these people, it's genuinely impossible to discern where the dumb stops and the evil starts, or vice-versa. Every one of them is just a pot of dumb and evil all mixed together, like when you piss into your own diarrhea.
  15. But it WAS classified. By its very nature. There was no "declassify this" order beforehand. Maybe he can declassify it NOW, but it was classified at the time. I highly doubt it. But even if it had, what the gov't and gov't officials CANNOT do is set communications by gov't officials about gov't business to be automatically deleted in 4 weeks (which this chat was). That is a violation of the law, and a crime. Records of the people's government belong to the people, and may not be destroyed. Even having them out in "unofficial" channels, where they cannot be archived and kept by the government, is a crime. This is EXACTLY the problem may people had with Hillary's emails (me among them -- those emails don't belong to her, they belong to ME and my fellow citizens).
  16. Chatter on this one is that a northbound dump truck was driving at a high rate of speed, got cut off by a car, and in trying to avoid it, jumped the median and ate a car heading southbound, killing the driver. Fucking I-35 is a deathtrap, and I hate every minute that I have to drive on it.
  17. Yep. Again....THE PLAYS ARE LITERALLY WRITTEN DOWN IN BOOKS ABOUT THIS VERY THING. THEY AREN'T DOING ANYTHING CREATIVE OR NEW. Also, I love this quip I saw about the latest utter fuckup -- "Whiskeyleaks brought to you by DUI hires."
  18. Conversations about....military strikes....that specifically identified targets....that specifically discussed how we would strike....two hours before the military action was launched. The absurdity is that they are saying that "conversations about surprise military strikes ahead of time are not classified." It's the dumbest fucking lie imaginable, they expect the masses to swallow it....and they're probably right in their expectation because FOX has already downplayed it and repeated the lie, and that will be the end of it. We are committing national suicide, every fucking day.
  19. I just looked, and Eddie V's has reservation spots open for Saturday night. No, it doesn't get all the buzz, it's not as trendy....but man, it never disappoints. Great seafood, and do not sleep on the steaks -- they're some of the best in town. If I were you, I'd grab a spot at Eddie V's so you have a really good option locked in. Then, you can look around to see if some other spots open up (Este is great, plenty of other good recs). But for real, you can just have a solid, standout meal with great service (don't forget that....plenty of the trendier places are still a bit iffy on that front) at Eddie V's.
  20. What we REALLY need is for that whole blob to bump up to the NW about 150 miles. We won't get it. Shit, what it's projecting will probably peter out. For those of you paying attention, this drought is already creeping and picking up speed in the "drought of 2011" direction. But now, with even more demand on our water resources than back then.
  21. ^^^^ Blah blah blah, brown people -- they're not even REAL AMERICANS, so this is just libtard fake news! Also, CSB....my G G grandfather was the first sheriff of Maverick County. Per accounts of the time, he ran a tighter ship than this. Granted, that was back when some of the job involved evaluating the situation of a local shopkeeper shooting a belligerent drunken outlaw trying to break down his door, and the sheriff telling him "hell, I'd have arrested you if you HADN'T shot him." So, you know, slightly different times.
  22. Yes, but counterpoint....those aren't really people. They are women. They are vessels and property. Read yer Bible, LIBTARD!
