  1. It's like you don't even know the DQ steak finger basket even exists.... Strips of fried goodness have a place on the table of every man.
  2. Brisketexan

    Pizza

    Hit up East Side Pies on Burnet the other night with my wife -- worked late, wanted pizza. Solid thin crust NY style option, I'm a fan.
  3. But…did you look up the fact that Zeus is a gullible idiot? CHECKMATE.
  4. Gennaro's is the real-deal. We stay at a cabin out there from time to time, and that's a nice dinner spot.
  5. Wife and I will be going for the first part of the protest at least. Fundamentally, we can't stand by and not make our voices heard. Yes, we're doing plenty of other things and have been, but it's important that the nation sees people "just like them" out there saying that this is not normal, and it is not acceptable. WE are the real patriots.
  6. So….what kind of phone do you have?
  7. Smelled like an Allsup’s? SOLD!
  8. I’m just super glad that we went in the “no more hawkish neocons” direction. Of course, being that we chose the “insane criminal autocrats creating repeated/endless war to cement their grip on power” direction as the alternative…maybe not a real good move there.
  9. I feel ya bro.
  10. Spot-fucking-on. Billionaires are fucking us all. Mostly white people have fallen for the bullshit line of "yeah, it's the poor brown people who are fucking you over." And the billionaires are doing all they can to make sure that the gullible mostly white people get even dumber, so they keep buying into their bullshit. Simple cartoons are often the clearest statement of truth:
  11. I don't. I hope that they pull a Hitler in his bunker so they never get the chance to say the last part. People who purposefully advance the cause of harming other human beings for personal gain deserve no fate better than that.
  12. This. On a "per billion" basis, when looking at the decency vs. psychopath tendencies of billionaires.....we're ultra-mega fucked.
  13. The correlation: Don't overthink it.
  14. The timeline you are discussing is "damn near any moment now." A system of "in groups who the law protects, but does not bind, and out groups who the law binds but does not protect," once laid arrogantly bare, is not long for this world. Which is infuriating and demoralizing to someone who has spent his entire adult life living and working within a system that - while flawed, sometimes deeply - more or less functioned.
  15. Federal Tort Claims Act is your path: I mean, that is, if you believe that laws that apply to and bind the Regime and those it favors still exist. Spoiler: they do not. We are the Democratic People's Republic of Laws for Thee not for Me.
  16. The problem is, being the kind of human being who is genuinely altruistic with a goal of improving humanity as a whole and being the kind of human who can and does play the sort of game necessary to accumulate unspeakable wealth are pretty close to mutually exclusive propositions. Good and altruistic humans generally don't accumulate hundreds of billions. Evil, narcissist, psychopathic, sociopathic shitheels do. You and I would follow the same path. But because we're that sort of person, we never did and never would accumulate that sort of wealth. Shit, I've had several chances to behave merely unscrupulously and profit from it.....can't do it. Ethics and a conscience are a bitch when it comes to wealth creation. Fortunately for Elon, he is not burdened with those things.
  17. You're wrong. We'll get massive, flooding rains, starting about 500 yards EAST of the lake recharge zone.
  18. Lemme throw icewater on you: it does NOT take a majority to take over and destroy a country. It only takes a large enough plurality. Is 20% of your population fascist-loving, xenophobic shitheels? That's not great, but that's not a critical mass that enables them to inflict real systemic damage. Is over 1/3 of your population fascist-loving, xenophobic shitheels? Well, now you're in trouble. Because another 20-40% of your population will go with the fucking flow, and/or explain it all away. And that is MORE than enough critical mass. They are governing like they are the majority because they control the majority. The rest of us need to realize we are an insurgency, because that's where we are.
  19. "NO GESTAPO IN BASTROPO!!!" ACTUAL GESTAPO IN LA, NYC, CHICAGO, HOUSTON, ETC.:
  20. This this this. There are people out there who love liberty, freedom, and the ideals of this country, and oppose those who would turn it into the very kind of apparatus that we have opposed since 1776. Those people will be the ones marching on Saturday. Those are actual patriots, NOT the people who wear combat/red white and blue patriot costumes and wave the flag of a republic they don't even believe in.
  21. [Chicken Sandwich] PROPAGANDA! [/Chicken Sandwich]
  22. FIF the grift. It's always the grift, folks.
  23. Depends on the cut. For a shank, a great braise is hard to beat.
  24. Flageolet. I presume Jeffrey was whipping up a human cassoulet. Probably pretty tasty.
